Your case looks awesome but how do you turn on your computer if you covered up the power button?

I know this is a silly question but do you know if mini-itx cases can hold a graphics card and one pci card?

I guess the heatsink needed a day to break in because the temps didn't get any higher then 41 degrees.

it should work fine.

I haven't tried this yet but I'm sure it'll work for anyone on a budget. If you have a large video card like a 9800GTX, all you have to do is take off the stock encloser and place a fan over the heatsink. The heatsink is made of copper so the only thing keeping it hot is all that heat trapped inside...

I just got a Accelero S1 Rev.2 and it dropped my temps 20 degrees on load with a fan. It's much more quiet then stock too. I use to get 70C on full load and now I barely break 48C. :shock: I think one of the main reasons for this is that the stock fan had an encloser that trapped the heat inside. My...

thanks

Thanks but i ended up buying a seasonic 430 since I needed the 6 pin connector anyway.... :S


I have another question. My motherboard is only PCIe 1. Will that have an impact on my videocard? My videocard says PCIe 2.

I just purchased a 9800 GTX+ 512MB and forgot all about the power requirements. Does anyone know if this will work together?

Does a Seasonic 380 work with 9800 GTX+ 512MB?


This is the card I purchased.

Thanks for the quick response. I want to do two fans and it's for a friend. For some reason he doesnt want the fans to be connected to the computer itself incase he ever needs to take it out so i find it to be a bit of a problem. But the only way i see we can do it is to install a fan controller ins...

Can anyone tell me how to hook a fan controller outside of a computer?

The reason is because i placed my computer inside of a box shelf for a clean look and it's heating up. I need to creat some holes around my wooden casing and place fans with a fan controller in it. Any suggestions?

CPU-Z says my multiplier s at x7 so i think it might work. THanks

What is speedstep and how do i activate this?

Yeah, my E6300 is overclocked to 2.4 ghz but i didnt overvolt or touch anything else
.
Right now i'm getting 40 C and 36C but i think that's because i just got home and i didnt turn on the heater.

Yeah i have a fan blowing through my ninja. It's on really low though but the temps havent passed 53 during normal or gaming use. It normally stays around 52 for my hottest core.

I have a ninja and my E6300 is overclocked to 2.4ghz
The highest it ever gets is about 52C when playing oblivion.

I think you should just use Core Temp. I've heard it's more accurate. That's what i use.. My temps are 40/36 right now. I probably have a bubble. :cry: As for the large jump i don't know what to tell you. Do you have a fan on your Ninja? I'm also running an x800xl so i cant tell you about the 8800GTS.

Okay, my temps were that low. Last night it was just really cold. Now im reading 42/39 C with Core Temp. Almost no noise at all in my casing though.

My CD and HD drives are louder then my fans at idle. SO this is good. =]

I just installed my ninja on a e6300 and i get 33/30 Celcius.

What ram did you use?

I played the ps3 at my friends place and it is silent, almost as if it had no fans at all compared to the xbox 360.

Does anyone know if there is still a problem with the Ninja REV B and Core 2 Duo motherboards?

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what motherboard i can get? Im looking to spend around 100 dollars.

What do you mean it's dangerous? IT's too light?? SHould i get the Ninja then?

What's the difference? Ninja seems to be cheaper.

In trying to figure out what to buy for my 775 motherboard.

I just got this fan controller.

Im having a hard time deciding what fan wires to strip. Any suggestions? I was thinking about my CPU heat sink fan. Good idea?

My case is a P180B.

I've never swapped out fans before on a CPU heatsink. Is it tough?

thanks for the replies. I took the zalman off of my fan controller and put it back on the fanmate. It's not as loud anymore but i can still hear it at the lowest settings. -=[

I have my zalman 7000 connected to my fan controller on the lowest setting and it spins too loud. Is it possible to change to fans or do something to make it not as loud?

How does that compare with intel E6300?? Man, maybe i should have waited.

Is it normal for the CPU Usage to spike when you open Firefox?
Mine spikes from 1% all the way up to 44% when opening one page.

I"m using task manager to determine this.

I didnt know where to put this so i figure this was the best choice. WHat is a good program to measure my core CPU temps? I'm using ECS P4M890T-M2 (V1.0B) Socket T (LGA 775) VIA P4M890 for my E6300. Okay, nm guys i found a pretty good one. http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=...
