Woodsboy, Relax -- my post was intended to be a friendly reminder :D of what the EULA states -- it's far to easy to get caught up in the points part of things. Also, others lurking the thread may not realize what the EULA says on the subject. As long as you don't write a virus-like installer like a ...

I ran 4 IDE cables from a RAID card under the mobo without a problem (see here) -- I taped the cables down with packing tape in 3 spots too keep the cables flat.

Here's another CPU duct option

Dave

I've got a P4 3.06 running 2 instances 24/7 -- ambient temps 25c to 30c. Using a Thermalright SP94 (never, ever use stock HSF anymore, crappy cooling and way too loud) w/ a Panaflo M1a-bx @ 50% to 60% (varied by speedfan), I get CPU temps pegged at 54c (on an Asus board, I'm told they read about 8c ...

I doubt it.

Cool -- thanks,

...but it doesn't tell you that only the CPU/PSU headers are supported and that they are linked to the same speed. Then I should confirm that the IC7s do the CPU and NB independently. Now that I'm finally ready to order, just crossed my mind -- I assume I can pop off the active NB cooler and go pas...

Welcome to the fold!!


Dave

They left me alone with the PC for 15 minutes and I set up FAH as a service on their P4-1.8 Any idea how well one of these performs?? Ummmm, you do realize that borging anothers system without their permission is strictly against the EULA? It's stuff like this that ends up giving folding a bad name...

Now you need to be a SPCR folder too...

I recommend the Z-680's, or since you have a THREE THOUSAND dollar price cap, you could just get a reciever and two stereo speakers and hook that up. If I had to choose between the two, I would get two BIG HONKIN Yamahas. The surround sound that you get from two of those bad boys sitting on your de...

GREAT TIP!!!

Hotter is relative. If your HSF @ 12v gives you 35c load and slowing to 5v gives you <60c, you're hotter and you're not going to have problems. Now, if you're at 70c, then you've got problems. In general, if you're under the spec'd limits for the component, you shouldn't see a problem -- keeping in ...

I have noticed a slight resonance when the PC is in the AV rack that isn't there when it is in free air. I might have to add some egg crate foam to the inside of the AV rack.....the cycle begins. Russell That might be resonance from the HD on the mounting sled -- it's a somewhat common issue with t...

Dooood. Get a dell. 1. you get the warrenty, 2. less hassle, 3. the prices are cheaper if not the same. (if you buy at the right time) AND 4. The cases are already professionaly engineered for optimal air flow and silence. These things are mass produced so you can bet it's PERFECTLY engineered. Doo...

Russell, Good direction with the PSU duct/passive northbridge rather than the original design :D Regarding your AIW 8500DV -- that's the same card I have in my rig -- you can pop the HSF off of that baby and thermal epoxy on a northbridge cooler -- I used the gold colored zalman nb cooler (similar t...

If you're ISP won't let you remote link, then why not just put the picture (jpg, 72dpi and around 600x400 is a decent size) there instead of the doc file? When I read you're post, I thought you already had the z7000, now I know why you're loud. IMO, you really aren't at the point of worrying about t...

While I'm not going to open a word document to look at your picture (paranoid about macro viruses -- why don't you use the image tag and put it in your post), I don't think you're going to get enough exhaust with the PSU. Also, the PSU is going to seriously ramp up in speed to try to cope with the h...

I don't have any experience with A64's, but 70c load seems rather high. What voltage are you running the z7000alcu at? I assume you have it hooked up to the fanmate that came with it? Don't disable the 120mm fan, all it's going to do is make your PSU hotter/louder as now all of the hot air in the ca...

Bomba -- yeah, I already checked that out. Actually, it doesn't give much info at all. Like, the Asus P4T533-C is listed as supported -- but it doesn't tell you that only the CPU/PSU headers are supported and that they are linked to the same speed. That's why I was hoping for some first hand feedbac...

Thanks for the suggestions guys -- keep'm coming...


Dave

I have an Asus P4t533-c that fried a few weeks back and I'm finally looking to replace it. However, I want to be able to control all of the fan headers using speedfan (the asus controlled the CPU/PSU off of a single setting and wouldn't control the chassis at all). Any firsthand suggestions? Prefer ...

Assuming you're using HT (are you?), it may depend on what's running on the other "side" of the CPU. None of the three boxes in my latest post are HT machines and they were only folding at the time (i.e., nothing else was running). The P4 3.06 in my first post is HT, was running p937 in one instanc...

IIRC, I think that works only if you're using EMIII to launch F@H.

To throw a little more weirdness into the pot -- I currently have three p937's on various machines.
