I'm still laughing. Xbit labs results show a hard time getting more than 612W DC... even with TWO more 140W 8800GTX's that's still under 1kW... let alone two. Soooo... umm... why the hell would we need 2kW in a gaming rig that can't pull more than the 15A (1650W @ 110V) the standard US NEMA 5-15R wa...

Wow, nice. Now I wonder how the L2-steppings overclock...

Nope. IIRC only the first few Ninja Rev B's had the wider round bracket at the CPU base, which caused interference with capacitors-- the current ones have a narrower straight bracket.

Judging from the angle of the heatpipes it should fit ok, but I can't say so for sure as I haven't tried it myself.

CPU cooler looks like an HR-01 on steroids...

Check the heatpipe mounting solder job, you may have grounds for an RMA there if it looks substandard. is this a Rev B?

Sweet, nice find... I can upgrade again this summer.

I really don't understand why so many people/review sites are recommending looking at the X38, it's just another overclocker chipset that is almost guaranteed to have higher power consumption with very little benefit. Aka the 680i and 975x, both chipsets I would never touch. Nobody currently needs ...

...this is a bit puzzling if you look at your data, which shows that the SilenX fan had the lowest measured RPM to achieve 25cfm airflow. By quite a large margin in some cases (~200 rpm)... SilenX - 820 Fander - 840 NB XL1 - 870 Yate L - 880 Not that much, tho... and 20rpm out of 840rpm is 2.4% var...

It should fit just fine. The Ninja has a pretty large rise fro the base to the fins, as a result it actually fits most MB's...

Signatures suck-- I much prefer to store such information in my profile. Can I get them disabled from my personal forum view?

Anandtech's got not one, but THREE articles on the P35 out now.

I think I'll be skipping P35 and waiting for X38 depending on the improvements and and power consumption.

So does SVC, Case-mod, Newegg, and just about everyone else...

It only does no additional wear if you shift perfectly . That's extremely difficult to do. Clutchless upshifting is theoretically easy, but in reality I find blipping the throttle on a downshift to make for an easier rev-match. However, 99.999% of people who try to shift a conventional helical-geare...

www.dcresource.com is good as well. Canon A-series is pretty good for a P&S with manual controls, as are the Panasonic LX and FX series. Most P&S cameras aside from Olympus and Fuji use SD memory now. Keep in mind high ISO performance is going to suck on any P&S camera; the Fuji F-series is the only...

I think the rule of buy.com is to make sure you're buying exactly what you want and the item isn't likely to be broken in shipping. yep, buy.com is pretty reliable, reseller ratings aside. Now dealing with customer service there is a nightmare... and shipping speeds aren't the greatest. In fact, th...

I was just playing around with the eXtreme Power Supply Calculator, Yeah... pretty much every PSU calculator out there on the 'net is useless. Thankfully some are less useless than others and hence are only 30-50% off base rather than 100% or more. I think 7 out of 10 1000W PSUs that are sold seper...

is it really fine with it on? or does it feel like it could crack the mobo pcb? It's fine with it on. If you're going to transport it long distances (particularly shipping) I would worry a little, but not much. egarding the PSU, suppose I buy a 1000W PSU but the computer only needed 300W. In terms ...

Most of the load there is on the +12v, which will come straight from the AC-DC brick that the PicoPSU uses. Those tend to have fans which get noisy... is your goal silence?

65C for drives? Ouch. You should be thinking 50C max, maybe 55C...

I wouldn't ship a system with such a heatsink installed if I could avoid it, but if it's got the usual through-hole bolted mounting, you'd *probably* be ok. If you're just throwing it in your car for a drive to a LAN party across down, make sure the heatsink is vertical and the MB is on the bottom (...

HX520 should still have over 150W of headroom for future expansion.

Which case are you using? Exactly how much space do you have for a heatsink? (got any pics at least?)

You'd probably need to fabricate your own mounting bracket... if you have the measurements you need it shouldn't be too hard. Intel should have all this published somewhere; I have the docs somewhere in the lab under the Thermal Design Guidelines... For something with a screw-on bracket like a Ninja...

Hole spacing is different, you are SOL. Fortunately the Thermalright SI-9XV will work for you...

t's a heatsink with one pair of faulty clips. I think that's pretty unlikely that it's completely faulty-- with a small set of pliers to push down on the clips, they can and will go in. It's just BARELY adequate for a heatsink of that size, which is probably the problem. We install these all the ti...

Yep... that's only a mild exaggeration at worst, best-case it's probably true.

Remove the top plate covering the NB heatsink's fins, that'll help. Connect a low-profile fan to the area above the VRM's will help as well, since they're joined by heat pipes. IIRC there's one guide out there where they do that, plus the remove the whole setup and clean off/apply new thermal grease...
