my mediapc/server motherboard Asus P5KPL-AM iG31 CPU: E5200 @ 2ghz (no point goin lower as the motherboard wont let me lower the vcore!! this underclock only saves me 10w at load, not sure if its worth it.)

I've built numerous rigs in the past but I am trying with quietness as a priority for the first time. The rig is for general use such as surfing and playing bluray movies. Not gaming at all. I also want quick bootup times and will be running Vista for a month until 7 comes out. The starred items I ...

for a linux media pc, i would recomend moovida http://www.moovida.com/ and a simple remote control i use a wiimote as instructed here: http://www.moovida.com/wiki/TipsAndTricks/HowToUseNintendoWiimote 1 change i made is to set the B button to backspace insted of space, that way, its easy to navigate...

ah cool. thats nice to know , how did you under volt yours?

thanks Markp1989

i have gone of off the case abit , i worked out how much it would cost to get a new case,hsf,psu,gpu,

i need a case recomendation, that fits full size pci cards, full size psus, and a mini ninja cooler,l but still looks compact and nice under my tv, and doesnt cost too much,

any recomendations?

Hey thanks for the reply, im sure the shrunken should fit in it, i just need a matx psu to fit in to it, according to the reviews on ebuyer, only some matx psus can fit in it, as others will be to deep

im finking of buying this case, and moving my media pc to it, then having it on display by the tv. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150277 its smaller then my current case, so my mini ninja will not fit in it. was thinking of a shrunken (SP?) also., the power block for my pico psu has died, so im looki...

if they made 1 i would def buy it, but i would want 1/2" barbs

thanks for the reply :d

quite abit more then i was expecting, cool

i quitened it down abit, i shortened the tube from the pump to the rad, so now the pump doesnt touch the front of the case atal (it was just taping it before)

much better now i can hear it, but only when i listen closley. il do some better tests at 2am when the house is alot quiter.

Under ideal, conditions i was wondering how much heat in Watts my loop would be able to cope with

Pump MCP355
RES: XSPC Res top
CPU Block : D-tek fuzion V2
RAD: XSPC RS360
7/16 ID tubing.

with all conditions being perfect, what is the most heat this rig will cope with?

Thanks Markp1989

thanks for the replies ( i havnt been on this forum for a few days), since posting the first picture, i have re routed the tubing so there is less of it (with the barbs at the bottom of the rad it took abit longer to bleed) http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg102/markp1989/CIMG5221.jpg http://i246....

OK, now that sounds just loony. Have you done a full load stress test? surely have =) using a bodgy 'wall wart' style wattmeter, after the system was running at stable load temps [hence the PSU wasn't going to draw more current as it got warmer] 300W AC was measured. now, before we get too crazy he...

If your MB has built in graphics and dual DVI then I'd say just use that. Integrated graphics have come a long way and these days they are fine for everything but gaming. my mb hasnt got any ob graphics. i brought an 8400GS for 17quid i have an artic cooling 8025 pwm fan im gona put on it , to keep...

i have just stole an identical grephics card out of my htpc, and this 1 is working fine, so im sure the original card is broken

i have a new gpu on teh way, but dont know how long it will take due to the bank holidays, and me being 2 cheap to pay for the fast shipping.

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/154994/ I was looking at the 9500GT and was thinking of getting this, and folding on the core aswell. im just wana know how much power this card uses? according to extreme power supply calculator it uses 44w of power, seems abit higher then i thought it woud be ? But th...

There is the MSI NX9400GT, which is available for £45 from here http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/products/vga-cards/msi-nx9400gt-md512h . Claims 2x performance increase over the 8400 but then it is just over 2x the price - so your choice. Thanks for the reply : i dont really need graphics performa...

edit: i was thinking of getting the Geforce 8400 its 20 quid on ebuyer

Im looking to replace the Nvidia 7300GS in my desktop as it is starting to play up, when water cooling my CPU, i didnt have a fan on it , and it got very hot, and now only works 50% of the time, other times, i get red lines down the screen.

motherboard in desktop, and overclocked more to 4ghz, low load power usage is : 116W, but its not silent any more :( I added water cooling to my setup. so its quiet again :D Desktop: MB: DFI Lanparty JR P45-T2RS CPU: e5200 @ 4ghz - will probably replace with a quad at a later date ram: 4gb DDR2 800...

Hi, All PicoPSU and similar are only generating 5V 3.3V and -12V the +12V is used directly from brick so the power output is far from 150W for PicoPSU 150W . from spec of PicoPSU-150-XT you get 5V at 6A this is 30W; + 5VSb 1.5A 7.5W; 3.3V at 6A 19.8W; and -12V at 0.05A 0.6W so the total power is 57...

Why flow sensors? Why not measure temperature on whichever device will get hot the fastest if pumps or radiator fan fails (might be CPU, might be GPU). You'd still have plenty of time to shutdown gracefully, wouldn't impede flow (the more "oomph" you need to use to circulate your water, the louder ...

i power my desktop from a 150w psu.

specs:

cpu: intel e5200 OC to 4ghz
RAM: 4gb ddr 800 ram
Storage; 30gb ocz vertex.
GPU: GeForce 7300 GS

total power consumption when folding is 130W (18w of that goes to powering the Water pump) measured at the plug with a killawatt

I have a couple of them on my radiator, im pleased with them, decent temps, i cant hear them . the loudest part of my system is the pump.

i have the fans set so they dont turn on if the cpu temp is below 50C so they only come on if the cpu is at 100% load.

Bump?

Im looking to fit a front intake fan in my pc, there is only an 60mm intake at the front, and i want to use a bigger fan for noise reasons, The 60mm opening is near the side panel of the pc so most adapters i have seen wont fir on it. im looking for somthing shaped like this badly dragram http://i24...

Nice project, update us on how it goes, looks cool

all of the sites i have looked on dont have it in stock, are there any sites that you lot know of that are UK based that would have 2 of these in stock?

Thankyou Markp1989
