I couldn't find out what the issue was, but I plugged my hard drive into my brother's PC and managed to enable AAM...wow, what a difference! At least half as noisy as it was before. I can barely hear seeks now, although it is suspended with elastic. Some HD Tach results (average of 3 runs): Without ...

Sleep Mode Power Consumption?
Hi all, I've recently upgraded to Vista and have started using it's sleep mode instead of switching my pc off at night. It starts up much quicker this way. How does the power consumption differ? By switching off my pc i mean it's off, but still plugged in and switched on at the wall socket - so that...

FTool Doesn't Detect WD 320GB - working, got some results.
Hi there, I've got a Western Digital SATAII 3200AAKS OEM drive. I'm trying to enable AAM but Hitachi's Feature Tool can't detect the drive. It says scanning for IDE devices and finds nothing. I initially had the drive set to IDE mode in the bios, but since then i've changed it to AHCI, but it still ...

Hi there
I've got the same motherboard and have never plugged in the addtional molex connector. So far I haven't had any troubles. I posted this same question on the abit forums, and they reckoned it was ok to leave it unplugged.
I've got an E6750 @ 3.2Ghz and X1950Pro, if that makes any difference.

Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 fits HD3850?
Hi,
As the title states, will the Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 fit the HD3850?
Sorry if this has already been asked, but I searched and couldn't find anything.

Re: MSI P35 board w/6 fan headers
It's a good board. Download the manual have a squizz. I'm almost 100% sure only 2 of the fan headers can be controlled through the bios and therefore speedfan as well.

Right click -> Insert -> Lame Harry Potter Pun. I've never seen any Harry Potter films or read any of the books, so that one's lost on me I'm afraid. :P I suppose you could say some of a 120mm fan's airflow is "wasted" on the Ultima-90 (actually not a very big segment in practice), but you could eq...

Re: Which Thermalright Cooler? I'm so confused :(
You can mount a 120mm fan on the Ultima-90, as well as a 92mm (it comes with clips for both), and it works very well - I guess the efficient heatpipe layout more than compensates for its relative lack of fin area. I wouldn't bother with a 92mm, unless you're squeezed for space. Seems a waste though...

Ultima 90 doesn't lack much behind Ultra 120 and Ultra 120 eXtreme's results. It should be considered worth while. I am also very satisfied with my TR SI-128 SE. 510 grams. But I am not sure if Topdown cooler fits for your needs. I like the tower designs as keeping all the airflow parallel would se...

OK, i have a standard ATX AOpen case with 1x120mm fan at the back. I'm going to make a duct to the front of the case for the PSU (NeoHE 430W) I may also separate the bottom "layer" from the rest of the case, so that the gfx card (1950GT with HR-03 or S1 - don't know which here) and the hard drive ar...

Yup, it's adjustable, but it's not really helpful. The stock cooling is so horrible that you need the fan at 100% when the card is loaded... And then it's loud. It's so damn loud that I get ringing in my ears very soon. I even hear it through my headphones with reasonable volume settings. You might...

X1950GT : Fan Control and HR-03 Compatibility?
Hi all, I'm looking at buying the Sapphire X1950GT. It's around the same price as a 8600GT but with performance equal to, or exceeding the 8600GT by as much as double, depending on the game and settings. So it looks to be a good buy. Power consumption doesn't look too bad either. It's considerably l...
