Re: Nexus value Loud noise when windows boots
I RMA'd it and got a new one, but this one is exactly the same! So I changed my CPU vcore to 1.15v wich drastically reduced the noise like with the previous one. Now what effect does this have on my CPU, in particular to the turbo of my i5. The vcore use to fluctuate, now it is always set to 1.15, s...

If the noise comes only at certain loads then perhaps it's a piece of paper or plastic being affected by the airflow.
No, it's definatly an electrical sound, very similar to an old HDD seek noise

Re: Nexus value Loud noise when windows boots
Yes I checked a thousand times, it is coming from the psu. But it would make more sense if it was an hdd problem...
I changed the vcore of the CPU from auto (1.27) to 1.15 and it was gone, but after some gaming its back now

Nexus value Loud noise when windows boots
I replaced my old PSU with a brand new Nexus Value, but I have some weird problems with it: The noise is a weird buzzing and scratching noise, not from the psu fan. It starts when windows boots, it does not happen when I keep the pc in dos whitout harddisc. The really weird part is it gets worse whe...

I've seen the intel m-itx G45 motherboard for sale online, for a price of 129 euro. Now lets wait for some reviews of this chip and how it compares to AMD 780G. ps, de silverstone LC12B looks like a nice m-itx case high enough for an aftermarket CPU cooler. Don't know if the 60 WATT will be enough f...

About the PSU, there is a new 'version', a 450 Watt. ST45NF I've seen prices over here where it is only 30 euros more expensive than the 300W, 3 year old model. About the video card. The current price/performance sweet spot seems to be the new ATI 4850. A cheap cooler like the arctic S1 will keep it...

thanks for the replies but I have decided not to go for an enclosure + bare drive. The extra cost is just too much. Also, I will use the drive only as back up, so I don't think I will need the extra speed of an eSata connection. So any suggestions on an 500g external usb drive? Is there any way of v...

Need Suggestions for 500G external drive
Hi As an external drive is cheaper than an enclosure + a seperate drive, I think I'll buy a 'normal' external hard disc. Prices are almost the same, but witch one would you recommend for low noise? WD mybook Essential? 500 gig 16 mb cache Seagate free agent: noisy? I've seen a cheap aluminium LACIE ...

The idea behind this is that the P150 has white bays, and white optical drives are really hard to find. On the solo however, the bays are black, and black optical drives...
