Hello to all! My previous PC served me well (and still does) but it's not capable to do what ever task I want, any more. Especially, the ability to handle High Definition files (and to play the latest games). 1080p files are no go-go and 720p displayed at slow motion :lol: . I am using a laptop (not...

Hi,

What's that plastic legs? How it called? Where did you get them? It goes with the "elastic rope"?

Fan clips position looks kind of weird...

I was so excited when I saw the title!

But Ninja 2 doesn't look promising

All above comments hit right on spot. Too bad they don't improve the mounting system.

Hi there. Here are some photos that might help you: http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j177/gogos7/GigabyteP35-DS3P-ea-1.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j177/gogos7/MSI8600GTSe.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j177/gogos7/P35-DS4.jpg I think that MSI's fins will be above DS3P's heatsink, w...

They wanted to upgrade the mounting system with a backplate, but they make it worst!! From review: "Mounting system allows heatsink to rotate on CPU" The previous mounting partrs, I think that were good. Others heatsinks need fixing, like: Ultra 120 Extreme and chipset cooler HR-05 (which they upgra...

I can only answer about the Arctic Silver.

I used a few days ago a 4year old Ceramique (never used before) without problem. So I think it will be in a good shape yours also.

I'm in doubt what to do.
My Silverstone ST30NF PSU decided to break down after 2 years of continuous operation JUST outside the warranty period.

Silverstone says that offers 3 year warranty for the ST30NF

Hi NeilBlanchard,
can you please tell me what motherboard are you using?

Kama Cross CPU Cooler

It has unique style, but how it will performs?

Good thing is that blows air down. Bad thing is that it has few heatpipes.

I would like to see a test vs a Thermalright SI-128 with a low rpm 12cm fan...

Hello, Could you please tell me, the exact height of Antec Solo in centimeters? I thought that was the same case (at size) as P150, but Antec's site says: Antec Solo: Height 17.5" (44.45cm) Antec P150: Height 17" (43,18cm) My case is under a furniture, so is vital for me to know exactly. Thanks in a...

Hi, I am using a Sony VGN-FE31H (Europe). Specs :Intel T5500 1.66GHz, Nvidia Go 7400, HDD Fujitsu 120GB 5400rpm. The GOOD : I have heard the fan very few times (10-15) the last 6 months that I am using the laptop. No matter what you are doing, is "forgoting" to turn on. Even with video encoding or g...

A good spray to remove rust is WD-40.

Maybe it can help. You can find it in tool stores.

Hi,

any other way (or idea) to find a PCI slot cover with vents similar to those:



besides rip it off, from this 8 euro Akasa fan?

Hi,
what are the temperatures with this card?

I am asking because one user in MSI VGA forum, reports high temperatures with this specific 2slot cooler.

Hi bobov,

the pre-production AOpen motherboard had only a passive heatsink without fan. I think it is designed (with the fan) for overclockers only. Is it getting too hot?

Can you run the Yonah CPU with your heatsink, but fanless?

Nice setup with two fans only.

Although very aggressive attitude from some members …

diver,

thanks for the useful information.

I have to say I have a 92mm Akasa Amber fan and it makes a horrible clicking sound at all voltages (as you would expect from a ball bearing fan). It's not so much a clicking as the characteristic "playing card in bicycle spokes" noise you get with BB fans. I have an 80mm Nexus at 5V and it is silen...

Hello, As always don't tell me, I wanted it in black. Go to: http://www.antec.com/us/info_suggestionForm.php and put your input there. The higher ups do read it. I vote also, for a no-PSU version. I like it because I need a small (max. height 43,5cm.) elegant case. I would like to ask “the stealthed...

Hello, I was thinking exactly the same, but for AGP version. In PCI-E, you are very lucky because there are a lot of 6600xx cards with passive cooling. For example, here in Greece: Msi NX6600LE-TD256E : 104€ Asus Extreme N6600 Silencer 128MB: 115€ Asus Extreme N6600 Silencer 256MB : 142€ Asus Extrem...

Hello, I have an IDE Maxtor 160GB 8MB cache. The problem is that sometimes produces an annoying sound like a heart-beat, or to be more accurate, an electronic "tick-tack", like an analogue clock. The HDD is 5-6 months old. I am using an Akasa round cable (90cm), where HDD is master and DVD is slave,...
