I've had the NeoHE 430 since about Jan 07. I've had lots of problems with the combination of the Asus P5N-E SLI mobo and the neo. I had to rma my mobo and finally got a stable setup. I recently tried to add another 2 gig memory (two sticks) in addition to the 2x512 that I had already (both crucial B...

I have the stock Intel fan and I don't find it to be loud at all. I do have a case that is designed to dampen sound though. But if your going to get the fan with the CPU anyway why not just try it and then decide if you need a quieter fan.

There was a problem with some mobo's (especially ASUS) but that should be fixed now. Just make sure that where ever you buy the PSU from, turns there stock regularly. I would suggest getting it direct from Antec if you can. Just avoid buying from someplace where it may have been sitting on there she...

With the Tri-powered fan set to 'medium' and the stock Intel CPU cooler without the Qfan turned on :shock: Don't you find that kinda loud ? No, It's actually very quiet. The vid card is loud at start-up but then quiets down. The loudest thing in my system is the DVD burner when it's spinning. I sho...

That's the way my P5N E-SLI came.

As for New Egg, when they packed it, they put the MOBO box on the bottom of the shipping box and just put peanuts on top. If the box got dropped all the shock would go straight to the MOBO.

That's terrible.

What OS are you running. I don't think XP-32 will recognize more than 3gig of ram, no matter how much you put in. I'd look into that before buying more than 3gig ram. from my P5N E-SLI manual "if you install Windows XP-32... less than 3gig is recomended" "System may detect less than 8gb system mem w...

I just got new ram for system and since installing it I have had no problems at all.

So put me down for 'NeoHE works with no problems'.

P.S. I bought it about 1.5 month ago from Antec B-stock site.

Check out Antec's B-stock site. They have that same case for $23.xx. I bought my P150 from B-stock and I can't find a single blemish on it.

I've got the E6600 on an Asus P5N E-SLI with 1gig ram and BFG GeForce 7600GT OC in the Antec P150 case with NeoHE 430W PSU. One WD 320g SATA drive and one DVD burner. With the Tri-powered fan set to 'medium' and the stock Intel CPU cooler without the Qfan turned on, my idle temps are about 34ºC - C...

Just to check, my friend had the same problem with his pc (shutting off after 3 seconds) and found the problem was he didn't hook up the Aux 12v cable to the mother board.

It's very bright, its like a lightning storm when the HD is flashing.

Hey, I posted on this thread before, but I stopped after I continued to have problems after swapping the NeoHE 430w for a Smartpower 350w. I assumed that the PSU was not the problem (and it was one of the newer A4 versions). I continued to have great problems with the Asus P5N E-SLI motherboard. Aft...

I have the E6600 on an Asus P5N E-SLI with 1gig ram and BFG 7800 GT OC.

I haven't over/under clocked or done anything other than set the memory timings. I have rarely seen my temp above 40ºC

In the P150 the loudest thing in the machine is the optical drive (which blew up last night ).

I've got my P150 up and running now with E6600 C2D and BFG 7800GT OC and 1gig ram, with one WD 320sata HD.

I don't have any front fans, just the big one in the back (set to Medium) and the PSU. I've rarely seen the temp get above 40ºC

I think most of the ideas in the original post are off the mark. I can't imagine mandating power or time usage will work. (how are you going to tell every business in the country/world that they can only operate for a couple of hours a day). I agree with the 'if you don't need it don't buy it' angle...

How many people can honestly say they don't laugh a little when they here someone else fart?

OK, probably my last post in this thread. I swapped out the PSU for an Antec 350W smartpower. At first it seemed like it fixed the problem. I was able to shut down and restart several time with out any problems. I tried playing a game and it locked up. I turned some of the graphics down and tried ag...

Why waste your time with asking Antec or other makers to provide black interiors? Why not just take the case down to you local auto body shop and get a custom paint job? Maybe you could get them to do a nice iridescent (the kind that changes color depending on what angle you look at it) job on the o...

I just got my P150 from B-stock and I can't find anything wrong with it.

It took them forever to ship it to me but it did arrive and in mint condition.

Very happy with it.

Here's my only Antec experience. I ordered a P150 from their B-stock site I ordered from Antec direct (also in CA) it took them 10 days to get it to me. They shipped it 'signature required' so I had to take a day off from work to wait for it. I got an automated call from UPS that it would be deliver...

I just build a new pc and ordered everything but the case/psu from new egg. I ordered on Friday morning and had the package at my door on 11am Monday. The motherboard shipped from CA so it took until Wed to show up. The case/psu I ordered from Antec direct (also in CA) it took them 10 days to get it...

When I went home last night I tried to start the pc up and it froze on the 'welcome' screen. I hit the reset button and it powered up. I shut it down again and opened the case up to make sure all the connections were correct. I found one problem. The connector for the front panel 'fire wire' was not...

Just a heads up. The P150 does not come with the two front fans. They are optional.

I got my P150 yesterday and already I'm having problems. They don't seem to be the same problems as everyone else is reporting (power shutting down...). I have: Intel C2D E6600 CPU Asus P5N E-SLI Mobo BFG 7600GT vid western digital 320gig SATA HD Samsung DVD player/burner. The PSU NeoHE 430W has an ...

I'm building a new PC with: E6600 C2D Asus P5N E-SLI I have the mother board and the cpu but the case/psu (Antec P150) won't be here until Monday. A friend of mine is building the same pc and bought the Zalmon fan for it. I ran out of money, so I'm going to use the Intel fan unless there is some pro...

I've checked out the Solo, but through Antec's B-stock site I can get the P150 with the PSU cheaper than the Solo with no PSU. At least it sounds like Antec is trying to fix the problem. I think I'll just get the P150 and check the PSU when I get it. If It's old or I have any problems with my ASUS m...

NoiseFreeGuy: Where did you buy it from? Did you buy it from Antec's web site or from a retailer. I've been thinking about getting the P150 but I know the PSU is crap (or might be). On Antec's web site they have a B-stock section with discounted boxes because of cosmetic blemishes. I'm assuming I'm ...
