Just installed mine last night with an AsRock Combo-Z mobo and works perfect. My voltage looks very similar johnjv.. Here's what it's powering: CPU - AMD64 2800+ 754 pin RAM - 2x 1GB DDR 400 HD - 1 80GB Samsung, 1 160 GB Samsung DVD - 1 DVD +RW GPU - 1 AGP 8x nVidia GeForce 6800 Case - Antec P180 Ev...

Davidstone28,

Temps are ~50C idle ~82 under load

Tee-Jay,

That's histerical! I was just about to crack a joke about 'Flashing from Windows" !

KF

Yep, very lucky! Funny part was my wife had no idea why I was so mad at first and then why I was so happy! I've been working on computers for ~15 years and I just proved your never too experienced to do something boneheaded!! :oops: The whole time I was using the windows flash utility I was thinking...

Well, I got my Gigabyte Geforce 6800NU yesterday.. This is the Passively cooled version.. Installed without issue. It's awesome and it's obviously silent! BUT, I couldn't leave good enough alone... I decided to Flash the VGA bios to the latest posted on Gigabytes site as it supposedly speeds things ...

Hello, My machine is all installed and running very smoothly, but I have this itch to replace the Stock AMD64 cooler @ 5v with something with a bit better cooling performance.. But since everything is connected and running, I don't really feel like taking it apart and removing my Mobo to install a n...

Not sure if this has anything to do with it or not, BUT I posted in aanother thread that I was able to undervolt my 2800+ S754 CPU all the way down to 1.075v. What's wierd is that I too had the whine until I started undervolting. It wasn't loud at all, but definitely noticeable. I think it was aroun...

Well, I'm not sure of RPM as I also have the Zalman MC-1 multi-fan connector which has 2 5volt leads. Net, my CPU Fan is just @ 5v all the time and not even connected to RPM sensor on Mobo. I also undervolted to 1.075 with success....

Not sure if this has anything to do with it or not, BUT I posted in a new thread that I was able to undervolt my 2800+ S754 CPU all the way down to 1.075v. What's wierd is that I too had the whine until I started undervolting. It wasn't loud at all, but definitely noticeable. I think it was around 1...

All, Thought I'd share some "cool" results...(at least for me it's pretty cool!). I have the ASRock Combo-Z mobo with a S754 2800+ AMD64 in it. I got this mobo specifically so I could upgrade to a S939 processor when available. But, it included a nice surprise....highly configurable bios (even multp...

Cool thanks everyone! I'll give it a shot tonight.

Ok, I'm scraping together enough $ to get a high end HSF, but for now, I'm stuck with Stock AMD64 HSF. My idle CPU temps are around 34C and up to 49C at load. Will it be safe to place a fanmate on it to take it down to 5v? It's the loudest part in my machine by far.

Thx
KF

Newegg.com has them in stock for $290... Already scooped mine up. They also carry the GT's that have the fan on the back...

Wow, looks like I'll have to have another parts yard sale to save up for this baby!

Thank you all for the reco's ... 120M Tornado it is!! Thanks

That's helpful Let's assume, that otherwise, I like my case, what would you do?

Thanks
KF

Hello, I have a case that doesn't exactly breath well! :) Net, temps are probably higher than most. Also, I need a 400W PSU. I know the Seasonic got a better review than Zalman, but since my temps will be higher, will that big fan be ramped up most of the time? Therefore, eliminating it's silent edg...

Cool thanks!

I have board that has 1 AGP and 3 PCI. I need 2 PCI slots (firewire/tv card) If I get the NV Silencer, will it take up more than one PCI Slot next to AGP slot?

I recently took the Athlon 64 plunge and took a risk on the ULi m1689 based ASRock K8 Combo-Z... Surprisingly, the board has turned out to be AWESOME. The bios allows voltage adjustment from .8-1.55 and has support to toggle Cool N' Quiet... It even has overclocking features (not for me though) in t...

Since there's not a Mobo forum, I'm not sure where to post this... I recently took the Athlon 64 plunge and took a risk on the ULi m1689 based ASRock K8 Combo-Z...

I was doing a little surfing, and ran across this mobo: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=13-157-035&depa=1 It supports both socket 754 and 939. Although interesting, that's not what peaked my interest... This mobo utilizes the M1689 chipset from ULI. If you visit this page: ...

Hello, I currently have an Athlon 2500+ and I'm getting this itch to go 64bit. Problem is, my budget was suddenly constrained (mom's machine barfed...) Net, I only really have ~$300 for my upgrade.. Here's my question, how much difference in performance will there be between an AMD64 2700+ Mobile an...

That's cool. It's just sitting around collecting dust. I upgraded to a Athlon XP 2500 about 10 months ago and I still can't find a good home for it!

I have an old 750mhz Slot A CPU if you're still looking. Send me a Private Message and an offer if interested...

In case anyone is interested, I emailed JustPC when I posted this thread. I just got a response. Not exactly re-assuring, but here it is: ---------------------- The Gazelle case can handle 3 fans , ( optional ) 2 intake - 8cm (front), 12cm (bottom), Outake: 8cm rear fan ( included), the bottom panel...

Glad to hear a first hand account. I agree, it does seem simply amazing that a case designer would implement a front case fan, but not include any intake opening.... Although more expensive, I may just go and build a 'reference' spcr system with Fong Kai FK333, Seasonice Super tornado 300, and some ...

Thanks guys.. Sounds like a dud.. Why is it so hard to design a nice looking,quiet case that also has good 'flow'... I did find 1 review that actually gives it a favorable score in terms of temperatures and ventilation...but, no real specifics.... Here's the link: http://www.thecrucible.ca/reviews/j...

Very true, it's mac like... I know this forum is very heavily slanted toward functional vs. form, but I'd like a little of both...

I believe the PSU is a re-badged Channel Well... Net, with a quiet 120MM bottom intake and a quiet 80MM exhaust, this may be fairly quiet and look nice.

Hello SPCR Experts! I stumbled across this case and wondered if any has every heard of it or had experiences with it... http://www.justpcusa.com/g-ga899wh.htm It's a nice looking class with stealthed drives, tooless design etc.. The front intake looks horrible/non-existant, but it also has a bottom ...
