first try reset cmos setting on the mobo, usually there is a jumper that u can short them with a piler or screwdriver then remove all items from mobo except cpu and ram if comp doesn't boot, replace your ram, with a stick that is proved working on another computer if comp still doesn't boot, replace...

I’d be grateful if people would post the following data (or at least some of it) to get a picture of these chips, e.g.: i havn't got time to play with the settings, will edit at a later stage. currently running at 2.8GHz (350x8) and 1.28v, RAM at 875MHz 5-5-5-18 Model No – E2140 Stepping – L2...

thanks Badger So I'd say your temps are pretty reasonable considering it's oc'd to 2.8GHz. As far as that thermalright kit, I dont know, but I do know the bolt-thru kit works quite well and is quite cheap. Something I'd like to add is that amazingly, somehow, the heatpipes of my Ninja never get hot....

ok the huming sound of 931BW seems coming from the backlight and the sounds is louder than my pc, no kidding, i can hear the sound from my sitting position midnight but not my pc (unless my aam off wd3200aaks is busy seeking) i don't recall this sounds from my previous lcd screen, it's not too bad b...

update: cpu temp dropped to 63'C peak (core temp) after turning off automatic voltage in bios (vcore droped from 1.4v to 1.28 at full load)

Check to see if your bracket is being blocked by capacitors like mine. If it's clearing the bracket, check the thermal paste spread when you take your heatsink off. If it's terrible, grab the kit for sure! heya, the clearance/imprint were good before i put it in the case i think it's very likely du...

30 min of blended orthos pushed my pentium e2140 @2.8GHz to 68'c (reported in easytune) ~ 72'c (reported in core temp), with a Scythe Ninja PLUS Rev.B. the idle temp is 35'c (reported in easytune) ~ 45'c (reported in core temp) my case has a nexus 120 mm in the back, the stock scythe fan pluged into...

Northbridge is totally holding that setup back. NB is really hot on my mobo (gigabyte P965-S3), i can't touch it more than a second or two. the small stock NB heatsink is inadequate. No more stuttering TV tuners! lol u gotta hate that how your temp now? and which software do you use to check your t...

There are a number of reviews showing that the E2140 overclocks quite a bit less than the E2160 although how typical this is is hard to ascertain. Here’s one at Xbitlabs. i suppose the "better" chips might be marked E2160 but it's really like a lotto. think i saw (might be dreaming..) a pic E2140...

Hey you're right. I had it manually set to 1:1, so instead I set it to Auto.. Booted up 334, 335, 340. Testing higher now :D EDIT: Damn. It sometimes boots up, sometimes doesn't when it's > 333. Looks like I was lucky when I did a quick test. :( gl on that might try manual but set your ram lower, n...

This chip rocks! This is replacing an Athlon 64 3000+/MSI RS482. Once I get the machine together, I'll make an update in the gallery :) /wave i'm replacing my Athlong 64 3000+ as well :D good time to upgrade got mine yesterday, boot up at 2.96GHz [370*8] at stock voltage, after failed at 380, over ...

my pick would be E2140

idle power lower than BE

it oc much better as well

but i'm not sure about mobo. i picked up a P965-S3 and the NB running really hot

I'm in agreement with the others in that the idea of SPCR reviewing monitors doesn't really make sense. maybe. Clicking / popping noises coming from Dell LCD monitor http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=42665&highlight= at least i know this samsung didn't have such problem in the la...

MB: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R or Abit IP35 Pro you might want to hold on for a while, or get latest 965 boards instead, unless you are sure you can get a version 2.0 on GA-P35-DS3R, not sure if they hit the market yet. Gigabyte omited usual 1.1 and jumped to a version 2.0 tells me there are some major c...

my current P4 is way too noisy to be the HTPC. and it chokes on HD playback

why not just 2 pc. HTPC and media server sounds same to me. all you need on your P4 system is probably a new video card - ya 8500GT will do.

the only reason i don't still have an AMD is because i have to DDR ram. i have DDR2, and SD, and RD...no DDR. i have an Athlon XP 1.75ghz CPU and board upstairs, but no RAM for it. my first Athlon system i gave to a friend because they messed up their Athlon [which is why i have the CPU] and the bo...

hello are you actually satisfied with the noise level of your system? or you think its much more to be done to achieve satisfactory noise levels? if you are OK, what system do you have? which component you think played the most important role to decrease the noise? thanks i'm satisfied with my old ...

Anyone had any troubles with the Phantom500 yet ? Mine is working in perfect condition. I've had my system running 24/7 since July, and yet, nothing to complain about it! I'm posting my update now because I saw that most Phantom350 died after 6 months. Ciao, Phil 500 been good. fan set to 2. play w...

1) Swap the Phantom for a Seasonic S12 430/500. 2) Put the PSU inside the case and probably add another Nexus to lower my HDD/CPU/GPU temperatures. try 2 first, it won't hurt. If I put back the Phantom inside the case, keeping the Nexus @ 700 RPM, what would be the impact on the CPU/GPU temperature...

If I switched to a Seasonic S12 PSU, would I hear the PSU fan at all? Would I have the same coil buzz issue? And how quiet the S12 is compared to a Nexus 120mm undervolted at 7V? Right now, the only fan in this system is a Nexus 120mm @ 700RPM, and the system is dead silent at low load. U will hear...

D05 is supposed to be reliable. It's said even D04s with a purple sticker on the side r reliable.

my 0411 has been running for about a month and half. so far it's been great. i have one nexus blowing out, and one nexus on the cpu cooler. the cpu cooler might be the main force driving air out through the bottom fins on the psu. when both fans set on 6V, the psu body inside the case touch slightl...

vote for the gigabyte. no doubt.

the leadtek is NOT VERY NOISY, but far from quiet when u not playing games. i got it for a few days then sold it and got a gigabyte.

turn on the AAM.

it's much improved on 192.

Gigabyte N66T128VP pictures: http://www.cloudworld.net/diary/index.php?cont=hang&date=2005-07-31 mind U mine is the AGP version. U can see on my mobo it's a very tight fit, the CPU hsf Zalman 7700AlCU is touching the heatsink on the back of the card, actually i have to adjust the position of several...

my 0411xx phantom 350 has been working 12/7 in the last one and half month. so far very happy with it. might just be lucky.

Very, very nice, Longbow. :) How's the Pioneer DVD drive working for you? I heard it's pretty quiet. thanks tempeteduson :) i got the retail version 109BXL (or called A09 here in NZ), Pioneer has a software tool Quiet Drive, which can set operation mode to quiet, normal and performance(?). the writ...

thanks, chylld :) total weight of my case is now 19KG (close to 40lbs). it's really heavy... i thought about that PSU might get hot, but no, i didn't leave area around it naked. the Phantom mainly distribute the heat from the rear panel, and air circulating through it's bottom fins, i didn't have a ...
