Blacktales,
thanks a lot for the info, you see i was at work and i didn't have the luxury of free time to do a proper search... Anyway, thanks again!

Hello everybody, as it is obvious from the title, i would like to know if anybody has put the AC S1 rev.2 on an ATI 3850 AGP and more specifically to this model http://www.sapphiretech.com/us/products/products_overview.php?gpid=227&grp=2 Are there any diffrences between PCI Express and AGP model as ...

Hi,
As you can also see in my sig, i have paired the Ultra 120 with a 120mm scythe fan S-Flex SFF21E (1200 rpm) which is of course a 3-pin fan and not 4-pin and i am very happy with results. The fan is almost inaudible.

Asus P5B/deluxe/Wifi, speedfan 4.32 can control 3 chasis fans (3 pin header) all tied to one speed setting and also the cpu fan which must be a 4-pin one, otherwise it is not controlled. Q-fan must be set to off.

I believe that they booth cool quite well, actually i chose the Ultra 120 becuase of the easier way to mount it (for socket 775) and some stories about clerance problems with Ninja and Asus P5B series motherboards. I have coupled the Ultra 120 with a Schythe S-Flex E (1200rpm) and the temp readings ...

Hi,
i can't tell you if these drives sound the same, but i can assure you that the two WDs 2500AAKS that i have in my case are very very quiet.

ryboto wrote When I had the VF900 installed, it threw hot air all around, but because the x1950pro is a longer card, the hot air wasn't necessarily drawn into the bulk air flow created by the 120mm intake and exhaust fans. Instead the hot air helped to warm up the hard drive I have in my 5'' bay. T...

ryboto, Probably I didn’t make myself clear, you are right that the produced heat would be the same but having a passive cooler the transfer of the heat from heatsink to air is based on the existing airflow which means that you will have a hot spot in your case with high temps on it and the surrou...

The only info that i have found so far for the MSI is the following

MSI anyone???

[sjoukew] thank you for the review which on page 5 ( http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/powercolor-x1950pro_5.html ) reads that the "fan is always rotating at 2000rpm" which means that the speed is probably not controlable. The fan is always rotating at 2000rpm, so the PowerColor X1950 P...

[frazered]
i agree with you. I think that the Powercolor doesnot have controlable fan (Accelro X2) from what i have read on the net. On the other hand i have no idea what is going on with the MSI.

[sgtspiff] Yes, i know about the passively cooled powercolor but i would like to read some tests first before i put a heater inside my computer case. [SebRad] First of all thanks and yes i think i had read somewhere on the net that although Sapphire uses the zalman cooler is not so quiet. Now the ba...

Sjoukew, thanks a lot for the info.

Hi all, i'm building a new system (Asus P5B dlx, C2D E6600 with thermalright ultra 120 and scythe s-flex e, 1 Gb kingston pc6400, 3 x WD2500KS) and i would like some help on which of the two following cards to choose 1. Asus EAX1950Pro 2. MSI RX1950PRO-T2D256E (also the VT2D512E version with VIVO su...

Thanks everybody for the info. [ryboto] Thanks for the info on the VF900 and X1950Pro. I'm thinking on buying a X1950Pro and i was wondering which aftermarket cooler could cool it quietly. [J. Sparrow, vizzle] Yes, i would like to go gor an 800rpm fan, but the summer in my country is quite hot and i...

Thanks ryboto,
so i think it would be wise to go for the Noctua NF-S12 @1200 rpm and control it with fanmate2. Ryboto, i see in your signature that tou have an ATI X1950 with a VF900; although the question is off topic, are you satisfied from the vf9000 on the X1950 tempwise and noisewise?

Hi all, after having read the various threads about the possible problems that one might have by placing a Ninja RevB on an Asus P5 Deluxe, i finally decided to go with the Thermalright ultra 120. It will be used to cool a C2D E6600, i know that it might be overkill, but i believe that having the ul...

Hi,
I have 3 hds in the machine that i use for video editing (1 for o/s & apps and 2 in raid-0 for data) and 2 hds in the general purpose pc.

Thanks a lot guys. So i will go for the ninja!

Hi all, I plan to build a new system based on a C2D E6600. Motherboard will be an Asus P5B Deluxe and for cpu cooler i'm thinking about the new Ninja. So i would like to know if there are any clearance problems around the socket with this heatsink (problems like this one http://www.silentpcreview.co...

[Andyb] i might not have been clear enough, but the card has never been overclocked and the default speeds of the card are Gpu:520 and mem:540(x2). I realized that the artifacts are due to mem problem because i underclocked both mem and gpu and gradually i started to increase their frequency. With w...

Hi Bluefront, i "measure" the mem temperature by using the atitool, the second reading that is labeled as "Gpu environment temperature" in the settings -> temperature monitoring. Actually i have tested this temp reading against the reading i get from Asus's tool smartdoctor from a 9600xt and it is t...

Hi all, i'm asking this question because i had an Ati silencer 5 installed on my X850XT constantly at 7Volt and although the GPU temp never exceeded 62C under load the mem temp reached as high as 55C under load. After sometime (1 year) the card started to create artifacts during gaming, could that b...

Thank you for the advice, but finally after one and a half hour of gently pulling and twisting i managed to get this thing off. The thermal pads on the backplate were the worst comparing to the ones on the cooler's side. Anyway, end of the alarm. So, i hope that the card will be replaced.

Hi all, i have to rma my x850xt in which i had attached an ati silencer. The aluminum backplate of the ati silencer (used for cooling the ram) uses some horrible thermal pads which have stuck to the ram chips and i cannot remove it. Any ideas on how to take this thing off? Shoot hot air with a haird...

Thank you all guys for your info. I also e-mailed Gainward and they suggested that i must connect both moleces to the psu. Card is connected now and is running fine.
Thanks again.

Ok, thanks a lot.

Hi all, a friend of mine just bought a Gainward 7600GT AGP. http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/8466/8248ba7600gt256mtdpm8m7rj7.jpg For connecting the card to the PSU (which doesnot have a PCI-E coonector) the card comes with an adapter that has 2x4-pin male molex connectors and 1x6-pin PCI-E female co...

Hi, Recently i have built a computer with a set up similar to yours (m/b Asus p5b deluxe/wifi, C2D E6600, AC Freezer 7 Pro, Seasonic S12-500,HIS 1900GT IceQ3, 2*WD SataII, Case Chieftec LBX-03B, 1*12 Nexus back fan, 2*90 Nexus intake one over the hard disks and one over the vga/southbridge). When i ...

No, he does not plan to overclock the cpu. The computer will be mainly used as an AV editing machine.
