I also had the SLI warning problem, and solved it by getting the new driver from nvidia's website.

Think it was a known problem for the driver that came with my XFX 7600GS.

I just received my hd321kj and the seek noise is much quieter than my 300gb 7200.9 seagate.

Is the AAM enabled by default for HD321kj?

Need advice on removing Antec NeoHE fan grill

I isolated one of the noise of my system is a whooshing sound from the Antec NeoHE. I'm wondering if there's anything I should watch out for when removing the fan grill. So far I just tried to unscrew one of the four screws, but notice that the screws also hold the 80mm fan in place. If I unscrew al...

Just placed an order for HD321KJ. Now I'll just need to figure out what to do with my 300gb Seagate... Maybe i'll use it as a storage drive and only use it when I don't mind the noise. There shouldn't be any seek noise if the swap file is not set on the drive and I'm not reading/writing to the drive...

thanks again for the help. I think I will just replace the Seagate with a quieter drive.

I've read that the Western Digital KS and Samsung Spinpoint T are really quiet.

If I'm looking for something around 300gb, is Samsung 321KJ a good choice?

Thanks for the suggestion Kater. How is the seek noise of the Seagate with the enclosure compared to the quieter drives like WD Caviar SE16 and Samsung Spinpoint T without enclosure? I'm asking because the enclosure is listed $40 on Scythe website so I'm wondering if it's a better idea for me to rep...

Need help silencing a Seagate 7200.9 suspended in Antec Solo

I have recently built a system with Antec Solo, DS3, scythe ninja and some Scythe fans. However, I overlooked the storage and got a Seagate 7200.9 SATA drive which have loud seek noise. I have already suspended it which got rid of the vibration noise, but the seek noise is still pretty loud. I'm won...
