Sean is now hatching all manner of plots to dump his current system onto his poor unsuspecting brother so that he can get his hands on a cool Winchester system.
I don't blame him - I just built a new "work" orientated PC just to use this chip
Hey guys - thought I'd post an update on my experiences. To recap I'm running a Winchester 3200 in a Shuttle with a passively cooled (very hot) graphics card. I found a tool on the AMD site to show you exactly what you processor is doing. Basically, the voltage varies between 1.1V and 1.4V depending...
Back to topic - I have a Winchester 3200 and it really does run cool! Even compared with my Mobile Barton 2500. Dish the dirt; what temps, what voltage? Crow[/quote] Funny that, I'm trying to work it out. It seems that I don't have cool'n'quiet enabled although my motherboard supports it and I have...
OK mine is together now :D:D:D with stock parts I have to say that it is quiet imho - once you change the bios fan settings to ultra low. It's not silent but it is quiet. I will no doubt start modding it once I have some time/money but for the moment it is fine. I definitely could sleep with this in...
EBuyer are cheap but unreliable and their customer service is awful. Last time I ordered something from them, it didn't turn up and they refused to chase it up for 15days. I was not happy.

When that's a good start I guess :) I am going to put one of these togehter myself - I can't resist any longer :D So I guess I'll be ordering a replacement fan to start with. What's the low down of 92mm fans? I was think of using the Panaflow L1A 92mm and putting a rheostat on it if necessary. Anyon...
Hi - I am confused :shock: There seem to be a lot of reviews of Aopen SFF's saying that they are noisey while SPCR says they are quiet. I of course put SPCR's opinon above other sites when it comes to noise. Actually Tom's Hardware has 2 reviews of teh AOpen AV model - one says it's quiet, another s...
that's a great little article, I'm looking forwards to seeing the followup. Quiet 60mm fan @ 1800RPM -> 47C at full load (1.8Ghz, 1.45V) What more can you say? :D PS: I bet you could run the XP-M @ 1GHz with just a single quiet case fan and reasonable temps. Would make a great HTPC me thinks ...
Just to throw in my 2p, I did the mod with a L1A several months ago and have not looked back. I often use my PC at full load for long periods when I an encoding video etc and haven't had any problems.I also have a lot of components in the case so I know that I use quite a lot of power. The air comin...
