Planed on using this heat sink on an opteron 148 with a possible over clock on it as well.

Was wondering if anyone had used the cooler?

Received the replacement,and there is no clicking.,and the drive is completely silent.

Scythe Ninja is not bulky,and does allow better cooling even at stock speeds.The Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 has had good reviews on other sites(not sure how quiet the fan on it is). If you plan to softmount fans have look at these. http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11115&highlight=...

jojo4u That does not explain the noise the drive makes.

jojo4u thanks,however. that info is for windows users,and this drive will be used under linux.

I have tried setting specs under hdparm which have not worked at all.

This leads me to believe the drive is faulty..

Thanks again.

Most 120mm I have seen are running with a 4pin adapter.

It's good to know the yateloon fans can run off the 3pin header.

Thanks again.

is your PSU ok? voltages in spec? cables in all the way?

Yes everything is order.

Has anyone successfully powered this fan from the 3pin motherboard header? or Do you need to run this fan off a 3pin to pin adapter?


Thanks.

I guess no one has had this problem?

well the drive will be RMA'ed.


If anyone has anything else to add please do..



Thanks..

As the title states this drive is making a audible clicking noise every 5sec's,and it's not due to seek noise. I'm about to rma the drive as it is still covered,however. samsung states they will replace the drive with a refurb which means I could stilll have this issue. Does anyone here have this dr...

thanks for help. if anyone has more to add please do.

frostedflakes thanks. The machine will eventually do some 3drendering/EAGLE Layout/SPICE Simulations. 150$ seems pretty good for what you get.

I have a chance to get ahold of an AMD X2-3800+ though the original build was based on a 3000+. is it worth using in a quiet based system. also what are the benifits of x2 other than multi-tasking as this machine is not for gaming.

Don't know if your still looking for this adapter. however i found this 4pin-P4ATX-12V-Male-to-4pin

SSovets Seasonic S12-330 or FSP400-60GLN should work with out issues. I'm sure if i'm wrong MikeC will correct me.

SSovets needs a little help ,and posted this question. Epox EP-8RDA3I Mobo Power Supply Question Just wanted to link to it so that he can get the best answers needed.


Thanks

SSovets that board your using can use the 12+ or 5+ the cpu your using being socket A should draw its juice from the 5+ the only reason i said to get a psu with enough amps on the 5+, and 12+ is to give the best chance at it working. however if memory serves right that agp card also draws from the 5...

FSP Group (FSP) AX400-PN ATX12V 400W should be fine.. SSovets and i did answer your question you just did not like the answer, and thus wanted someone to do the leg work of searhing. if you have any further questions try posting in the right part of the forum as well Power Supplies

You will need to find one with a balace of amps on the +5, and the +12. you can't base your psu on the +5 alone. please have a look at this Recommended Power Supplies

You will need a psu with a 4pin atx 12V Connector

Thanks Amourek, and Tibors.

qviri thanks. that was one of things that seemed not to match as somethings i read made it seem like the older winchester core was a little cooler.

If you could get a hold of a Winchester Or Venice Core cpu. which one would you choose? and please don't suggest dual/core technology as it is not needed for my purposes.

For all you in the US make sure you check your PSU Voltage Switch make sure it's set for 115 not 230. I received a silverstone PSU with the red switch set for 230 had to set it right.

Bump...
