If you want to stick with this fan it sounds like your options are limited to: 1. Pressing F1 on startup - Slightly inconvenient but certainly not difficult. 2. Locating an appropriate bios with an option to disable this fan monitoring feature or modifying the bios yourself - sounds like you've had ...

Interestingly enough the fan died on my visiontek gf3 ti500 for the 2nd time a few months ago. I RMA'd it the first time it happened when the card started acting strangely and refusing to power up with the system intermittenly. Strange thing is this time around it didn't prove problematic. The fan i...

Thanks FG. I'm not totally decided on a P180 yet although they're tempting in everything but price. Good to know the SP looks like a great choice for it as its considerably cheaper than most of the other 500w options out there. Out of curiosity, what's the cable length like on the SP? Would it be an...

Good to hear its not just me. I've been trying a few more things here and it definitely seems to be excess heat from the gpu causing my problems. Is it possible that with more efficient drivers the CPU has to work harder, thereby resulting in the crash? Just speculating here... I have the same video...

Catalyst 5.6 significantly increasing heat production?
I have a 9800pro 128mb with a VGA Silencer on it. I installed the catalyst 5.6 drivers as soon as ATI released them a couple weeks ago. Shortly thereafter I had several crashes in 3d apps / games and noticed that this was from my cpu + vidcard reaching nearly 70C! These two components are frequently...

Finally found a review which gave some info on the stock fans included. "The stock ones apparently push 41 CFM and are reated for 34 dBa." That comes from this page here: http://www.overclockersonline.com/index.php?page=articles&num=199&pnum=3 Also noted in this review is that replacing the fans sho...

I've also had my eye on this psu for a while. I'd love to hear how it runs noise / temp / efficiency wise. IIRC its got 2 80mm fans which could potentially be replaced with panaflos. Its certainly a nice looking psu with the mirror finish and UV pre-wrapped modular cable setup. The 12V line providin...

If I understood correctly (which might not be the case as I don't read French), they adjusted the CPU voltage before running it heatsink-less. http://www.x86-secret.com/articles/cm/g5m100-n/itxpm-8.htm Pate I think that's correct, they had it significantly underclocked and undervolted before those ...

Found this link today in HardOCP's news: Translated Review Note that its a french site run through google's translator. These guys are trying out a mini-ITX Pentium M setup from DFI. They do a fair bit benchmarks with overclocking and underclocking/undervolting. They even try out the pentium M runni...

I've been playin around with this system quite a bit and temps don't vary much with and without the side panel, maybe 1~2 C tops. I've got an Ahanix 400W SilenX psu (single 80mm) and a SilenX 120mm (14dBa/58CFM) and the vga silencer on my 9800pro doing the exhaust work in my Antec P160 so airflow th...

I just got an A64 3000+. I bought a thermalright 948U + SilenX 92mm 14dBa to go on it. Some people warned against the SilenX fan due to low static pressure not being particularly good for heatsink use and I think they may be right, although it seems adequate. I get about 43C idle and 54C load with t...

Well quick update, got the system all put together. At all stock settings the SilenX 92MM + Thermalright SLK948U seems adequate. I'm a little incomfortable with these temp levels, probably just a product of using some particularly cool chips for the last few systems I've had. I'm probably going to p...

I think I should be ok the with SilenX fan. The 92mm at 12V is rated at 14dBa, 2000RPM, and 36 CFM. That's only 6CFM less then a panaflo L1A at 12V and with nearly half the dB. This will be sitting in my Antec P160 with a 120mm intake and a 120mm exhaust (probably also silenX 14dB/58CFM, though I ha...
