Hi Mike great review. I built my htpc around the LC17 nearly 2 years ago, badly described in this thread: http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=28795&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=lc17 If you notice, I placed the seasonic so that it sucks air from inside the case, as I wa...

Hi, thanks for input so far. In fact, after posting the original post and in the process of shutting down windows, it froze again, while apps were being removed from the taskbar. Another time I have noticed is when it froze while displaying a screensaver :( The only constant I can see so far is when...

PSU problem? Something else?
Hiya hoping for some enlightment from bigger brains than mine: upgraded recently, but am having intermittent system hangups - happens only when I double click open a new application (eg. opening new instance of Firefox or iTunes). XP will freeze, requires a hard reset here's the original specs: 350W...

This setup is from my main rig, housed in a Antec 3700BQE case. The original configuration lasted 2 years, with the Seagate 7200.7 suspended from the drive cage horizontally and a salvaged 92mm Enermax fan also suspended below it using black clothes-type elastic stretchy material. This kept the rath...

This is my HDD suspension design from my Silverstone LC-17 HTPC rig http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/1145/htpchdpic1yb6.jpg the HDD rests on foam supports, cut out from the package material from the LC17 box. I've glued them together to form "corners" for the HD to rest on, and elastic clothes-typ...

I already have the Asus A8V in the list. I'm not sure whether the A8V is any different from the A8V Deluxe (the Asus website is broken atm). However, Speedfan works well on the A8V Deluxe on the 2 fan headers supported by Q-Fan. CPU undervoltable to 0.80VCore. Dual core updated BIOS. RMClock works ...

Great build, Dek. y'know, how loud is that 92mm fan within the HDD cage? I ask because in the original airflow design for my case, I had built a cardboard duct surrounding a 92mm Nexus where currently the 120mm Glacialtech now sits. The duct extended all the way to the GPU heatsinks and created a tu...

thanks for the kind comments! the case is designed for the PSU to be sucking air from the provided vent on the side. In fact, by flipping the PSU to be sucking internal air instead, the screw holes on the case don't align. Rather than drilling new holes, I wrapped 2 sides of the Seasonic in more bla...

silverstone LC17 home theatre PC
Hi folks, here's my take on silencing a htpc case. It's made particularly difficult due to space constraints and airflow usually suffers. But it was a challenge, and it of course had to be silent to ensure a movie experience is not spoilt by noise. With these issues in mind, I chose the following co...

Buy an Opteron instead of Venice
The 1xx Opterons socket 939 have recently gained popularity in OC circles due to their amazing OC capacity. Fortunately, AMD has also incorporated CnQ for these chips, so I looked at getting an Opteron instead of a Venice. These are my thoughts: Pros - better availability than Venice (at least in Au...

It's such a bummer that there's still a lot of bugs to be ironed out on this board. When I first heard of the 6150-series mobos I was quite eager to get my hands on one, but now... for those who want to get the SPDIF and TV cables, I've stumbled onto this forum thread: http://htpcnews.com/forums/ind...

There's not a lot of options even for full sized ATX mobos either - gigabyte is probably th...

ducting theory
Folks, love to hear what the collected wisdom is on this: I was thinking of building a CPU duct onto a Zalman 7000Al-Cu. Browsing around this site: Option 1) some have gone for the fan on the HS and built a duct to it (ie. ?pulling air over the HS) Option 2) while others have taken the fan off the H...

Update: Albatron support gave me a weird email response to Vcore undervoltability, but essentially the answer is "No" for the PX865PE Pro. Thankfully, I was able to cancel my order without penalty. I can safely report that the Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 Pro2 is undervoltable 0.8 - 1.7V with FSB from 100-3...

Albatron manuals mis-speak about this. Those boards are not undervoltable, as I've mentioned several times previously, a few of them right in this thread . Oh crap, just put an order in for one. This is probably nothing new for the veterans here, but as a newbie I've found it really frustrating hun...

Great article, made me try the program - in a little way, since I'm already using RMClock to undervolt below that allowed by CnQ, this is a little one-person's opinion using both RMClock and CrystalCPUID 1) At the end of the article, you mentioned RMClock was buggy. I've been using this for the past...
