Got a Nidec SP1614N from Dabs this past week. I have previously got them from Overclockers, and would use them again, apart from hearing that the owner has affiliations with a white supremacist organisation. I don't know how true that is, but it did influence my decision (and I think dabs were cheap...

I did get previous ones from overclockers but have since heard the owner belongs to a racist organisation. Eh? Tell me more... here Although this may not be very helpful, I might add that the owner of overclockers.co.uk has affiliations with a white supremacist organisation - if that influences you...

I got a Nidec SP1614N this week from www.dabs.com - useful to know for those of us in the UK. I did get previous ones from overclockers but have since heard the owner belongs to a racist organisation.

You'll want to try enabling SMART in the BIOS, then they might work...

Hey DrCR,

for my illustrations in your earlier thread I used SketchUp by @last software. It was a demo of V4. I liked it, but it was rather expensive for my minimal use of CAD. I found it easy to get to grips with once I'd worked out what was going on. You draw in 3D, and can get mm acurate!

I have 4 SP1614Ns (the PATA versions), and I have a server with five drives in it. The server only has a single SP1614N, coupled with a Seagate U6 and 3 older Samsung's. All activly cooled. Can I hear anything? Not usually, because it's muffled by things in the way. But getting close there's some wh...

shathal, CPU City have them in stock now, along with the SB-2, whatever that is

I haven't had problems with Overclockers recently. My very firsat order took a week to arrive, which wasn't good. My second order I messed up my 3-digit security code - my Mastercard has got a guage right through them! I phoned them up and all was okay. Since then I['ve ordered a few times and had n...

I did something like this (but a bit different!) when I rebuilt my server last year. Using 5 drives in a full tower case (6 x CD bays, 2 ocupied by a CD-ROM and a DDS drive) I wanted them activly cooled and suspended. I came up with this: http://nottage.homeip.net/test/upload/lotus_hd_box1.jpg I bui...

Because I FTP the log files from home to work so I can check how they're going. And that one takes ages!

Nor me

I think its true. I have got an old KT133 based board (GigaByte 7ZXR rev-1) running (had seemed dead), and recently swapped in a Mobile Duron 1Ghz. Well, it defaults to 500MHz, and nothing wants to change that. :x "to worry" I think, "I'll run with this 1.4V cored CPU over the summer and see what ha...

I have my server folding. It's been up conmtinuously folding for 3 months. With no verbose setting (ie the default of 3) the log file for this 700MHz PIII is 460kb. Anyone else have a mamoth logfile?

This website will answer all your questions...

Well Mats, as dukla correctly put, what's the point in having an idle CPU, mine all fold whever they're on. :shock: The change is load temps, not idle... silvervarg, the XP2500+ is locked, and so is now at stock speeds in my MATX system with a Gigabyte 7V400AMF board. I hope to mod it to run at 200F...

My desktop runs on an Asus A7V600 board, and had my Barton XP2500+ at 200FSB at the standard vcore of 1.65 (although I think the Asus probably gives it a bit more). Its cooled by a Zalman 7000A AlCu on full, because there's no exhaust in the old ATX case (from 1998). PSU is a 120mm Fortron 350W and ...

LOL

Have you got samba running? I don't know what the commands are for Red Hat, so I can't offer much help...

Yep, picked up a few 638's, but my real performance issues are with the heat in the UK the last few days. And then that I blew up a motherboard and a boot hard drive croaked on another PC. Somehow the 15th ended okay, but today looks to have CoolGav's SPCR points as a nice round number...

It looks to have died last night. Well, a reboot this morning would recognise it in the BIOS, but it couldn't load windows within 3 attempts. I have an older (smaller) Fujitsu that didn't die , but was retired, and a few newer ones have bitten the dust or seem to be hanging on. So I'm preparing to s...

Well, although that Biostar looks to be "teh winnar!", it's not available :( I've ordered the Gigabyte since I need this board quick - I blew up the previous Asus at the weekend, and its not worth it to try and fix it. For now it will take my Duron 1.6 which has been running fine at stock voltage (1...

Now, I have some criteria which I don't expect can be met. This is to replace a Via KM400 based board that died this weekend, which wasn't undervoltable. I need a board that's: 1. Micro ATX 2. Socket-A 3. undervoltable 4. can do 400FSB 5. has mounting holes for a Zalman 7000A 6. reliable 7. nice to ...

I got into PCs both for typing up uni stuff, and really to make music. Once I could afford it I ditched the SoundBastard and similar consumer cards, and went out and got an original Echo Mia over 3 years ago. That is a great card for making music on. Since then I've expanded and got myself a Creamwa...

Note the 7700 cooler doesn't seem to support Skt-A mounting - at least for now...

What a lovely protein!

The past 6 months has seen me upgrade for Folding points... I was doing okay with my XP2400+ and SDRAM, but that Barton XP2500+ which is now at 2255MHz grabs me more points. Along with the other PCs I have running... Yep, I run, and regularly USE 5 PCs. Well, 6 if you count the HTPC that I built for...

I have 3 in my server, along with a Seagate U6 (also discontinued 5400rpm), and a 1614N. I can't hear any of them - certainly to my ears they have been the quietest drives I've had. Since getting the 7200rpm drive, they're all suspended and damped as wella s activly cooled - I hear the 5v 120mm fan ...

It will depend on your budget, upgrade expectations and what you want to do with it. The AMD is supposedly cooler. I have no personal expereince with AMD64 or P4C's. Of course, an older CPU is likely to run cooler, such as a P4 1.6A, which will still do a lot of general computing as well as somethin...
