looks like one my of sticks of ram is busted. It keeps failing memtest and memtest86

Solution: I disconnected everything except for hd, cpu, gpu, mobo and my system finally works. This means that my psu is fried huh? Huh? How did you conclude that? Your PSU cannot be fried, your rig draws 250W max. If it was fried it would not work at all. Did you check that the jumpers on the new ...

A better way to put it, you didnt disconnect your DVD-RW and it now works.!!! If that is the case then your DVD-RW is flaky, they dont usualy reboot PC's they just make them hang......... forever, so YOU then have to re-boot. Andy oh the dvd-rw was left connected so i could install windows. I disco...

I am having a huge problem right. Its finals week and my computer just died. I had my p5b-deluxe/wifi + e6660 running at 3.02 ghz 336x9 vcore = 1.3215 V in bios. It was runnign rock solid since september. All of a sudden a few days ago, my system restarted randomly. So i set cpu clocks to stock. The...

google for nLite and it will take you to a site where yo ucan download it. you will need a windows xp disc that you copy onto ur hd. THe drawback about this program is that you need Microshit's .Net framework installed in order for it to work

Well i am using an nLite modified installation of Windows XP Professional. Basically i have the option to delete any useless windows system components and services and drivers that are unnecessary thereby slimming down the isntall to about 4-500 megs. While this install is most definitely faster tha...

I have the DM10 mounted in my BQE with the rubber grommets. Very minimal vibration near the center of the side panel. I guess this is the limitations of the stock rubber grommets

No idle whine.. just wondering what are yer other components like fanss, HSF, powersupply etc I am running a 3700 BQE with the stock PS with an FBK12G12LH OEM Panaflo fan at the rear at 5 volts. For the HSF, i have the Zalman CNPS7000A AlCu running at the lowest voltage setting the fanmate allows. ...

Suprisingly, this drive runs cooler than the Seagate 7200.7 in my comp. right now its idling around 33 celcius vhx1 how does the idle noise of this drive compare with the Seagate 7200.7. Also just to be clear, it's the 250 gig version you have correct? As said in my previous post, i have the 300 gi...

I just picked this drive up for 150 bucks. considering the price, its a very good buy. I guess i got lucky cuz the drive i received has no idle nooise whut soever. However, the seeks are a bit loud but i can't really hear them with my case cover on. Compusa has the SATA 250gb Maxtor DM10 drive on sa...

I just picked up the 300 gb PATA version of this. Let me say this drive has no idle whine whatsoever. However, the seeks are a big loud but i can't really hear em with my case closed. These things are pretty fast. i installed windows in about 15 min. Suprisingly, this drive runs cooler than the Seag...

as josephclemente suggested, using the pea sized blobbed is fine since you have a heatspreader. If the surface of ur heatspreader isn't flat, then you are screwed. Also, you want to make sure your fingers tough the heatspreader as little as possible since the oils on ur finger will hinder the coolin...

Um...................................... i put my ear close to my MX510 and could hear a high pitched squeel. however, it is not loud enough to notice when you are using the ocmputer. I don't know why anyone is making a big deal out of this. As long as the mouse does its job and the squeel is not re...

What are u guys using to mount the 120mm panaflo with?

Well as for me, i just enlarged the holes to 3/16" with a drill when i cut out the front fan grill. I put the stock Antec fan in the front, sealed up all the holes, and then put a OEM Panaflo in the back. Actually i found that the stock antec fan mounst were damn near impossible to attach to the fan...

Sennheiser HD280 Pro nuff said. I use these for DJing and they block everything out since they are a closed. Also, the sound quality on these things are really amazing too. Worth the 80 bucks i spent on it. If it passes the DJ test then chances are its gonna do you good. Fuck Bose and their overpric...

i dunno when i comes to mice i really don't think the loudness of the button should influence ur decision a bit. the only condition when loudness comes into play is if ur college roomate decides to get one of these things. I have and hope i don't miss my roomate off hahaha

that mite be a better idea. cutting out the front fan grille made huge improvements in airflow. I did the same thing. Your idea of mounting the fan there with the enlarged fan hole may be effective

Drilling holes into that thick sheet metal was a fuckin bitch to begin with. I'm not sure if putting a fan there is gonna do much good.. Its just gonna circulate the hot air thats already nside.

The new 600 hp Porsche Carrera GT. (a 600,000 dollar car) has brake rotors made out of silicon carbide. its clutch is also made from the same material. The silicon carbide brakes are supposed to be able to resist huge amounts of heat and won't fade due to excessive braking force.

Wow all i can say is all the hard work and time (spent mostly reading posts on here) really paid off. I finally finished silencing and reorganizing my case. I started off with an Antec SLK3700BQE and proceeded to cut off the front fan grill. I found some old tin snips in the garage and cut the hole ...

I finally finished my setup. I got a Panaflo FBK12G12LH undervolted with one of those generic fan controllers. I am really happy with the results. At around 7 v, the damn fan goes nearly silent. At 5 volts, its inaudible!

damn .. i kinda wanted to pick it up from svc since i wouldn't have to pay any shipping charges. those bastards still aren't returning emails

I've been wanting to pick up the sunbeam rheobus in black but SVC.com currently doesn't have it in stock and hasn't replied to any of my e-mails regarding this item. Does any place sell the rheobus for relatively cheap (around 15 bucks) online or in some big commercial chain store?

any idea how this fan compares to the stock antec on that comes with the bqe

Read the thread i posted here http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=15221

i'm guessin that the m1 will do the job for you. I plan on pickin it up to see just how loud it can get

I haven't made a purchase yet
i was just wondering if i needed to modify the nexus fan to make it fit on my 3700BQE

Also will i have to modify the fan to make it fit onto my case?

damn that is alot of money for a single case fan!!! Does anybody else sell that fan for cheaper? Has anyone here made a purchase from www.endpcnoise.com? 15 bucks for the nexus fan seems more reasonable http://www.endpcnoise.com/cgi-bin/e/scan/st=db/co=yes/rf=*/fi=products/sf=category/op=eq/se=Quiet...
