Someone help, I can't stop screaming! Those two scenes from Airplane I and Airplane II where that woman goes hysterical come to mind... you know the ones.. first in the aeroplane (Airplane I) and then in the court room (Airplane II).. and there's a queue of people waiting to "calm her down".. they'...

You can also get them at www.noiseblocker.de for about the same price. They recently became a bit more foreign order friendly (parts of their site have english versions and I think they deliver outside germany) UK peeps can get these fans from www.ultim8pc.co.uk and the prices I guess are ok. I'd lo...

I've been running burnP6 for about an hour now. The rpm sensor is not connected but the fan voltage is 8.5 V. Exhaust temp is around 42 C. The fan seems to be performing well enough. So that's about 1400 rpm or about 21 cfms.. that's a respectable airflow. Temps are o.k. too I guess.. not sure what...

....The YS TECH is otherwise very quiet but it puts out a high pitched whine that is REALLY driving me up the wall, now... What kinds of fan speeds are being reported? How hot is the exhaust air and the case around the PSU? Maybe you're not getting enough air and it's having to run it at full speed...

It all depends on which circuit you use - circuit 2 is really quite simple.. 3 minutes work for an accomplished eletronic engineer.. maybe a bit more for someone less experienced.. Circuit five is also a relatively simple circuit.. it needs a few more bits and uses different pins on the 3112. That r...

...Heres the spec of the PC! .... Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120GB SATA Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120GB SATA Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus 120GB UltraIDE ... This is what I've started to build! I'm not sure if you already have these drives.. but if you're fanatical about quietness then I think there m...

Coming back to the question of whether you need 400W.. hmm.. comparing the Nexus to a Seasonic Super Silencer 400 the only power difference is in the 12V line.. correct me if I'm wrong (anyone?) but the 12V is used predominantly for HDDs. Given AUdiOMAN's proposed system, I'd say 400W is a safer ch...

Still no definitive answers but just some more linkage.. I found a review of the NX-3500 .. the conclusion (in case you don't read French) is that it's not bad, not the best though but a good middle ground between power and noise. They also say it's very similar to the Fortron FSP350-60PN (PF). Comi...

I can't help much.. but I'm wondering.. why do you need 400W? If you had three HDDs and the latest GeForce then I understand you may need something approaching that.. but you won't have that kind of kit in a Digital Audio box, would you? Anyway, something to consider (but these aren't recommendation...

..To add to that, I tried bumping my oc on my fast machine up by 26mHz and a 60 pointer got corrupted at 98%! THEN, the next day, my cat barfed on the UPS, which shorted it out and I lost about 12 hours there...sheesh! :roll: So what's this? The latest excuses on why the homework hasn't been done? ...

Just had a thought, maybe you are accidentally looking at his stats, thinking they are yours, and/or folding for him too.

Check http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/searchstats You'll find that there's a "DAGO".. I guess he doesn;t know that the username is case sensitive :) EDIT: Damn, he beat me to it :) There is a DAGO, but it would be weird for him to also get the group ID# wrong... If he were folding under your use...

Which ever fan you use try running the fan flat out (plugged into the 12V line) and load the computer to the max (not just CPU, but HDD and 3D gfx too - load the PSU, not just the CPU).. put the PC in a hot environment (switch on the room heater).. then maybe disable a few internal fans and finally ...

Oh.. alright then.. First, a disclaimer.. I've got a TP380, don't know how different it is from the TP380 SP so I don;t know how valuable my views are.. Some thoughts.. The PSU runs hot not because the current fan can't cut it but more about the fact the the fan control circuit doesn't speed the fan...

I got a TruePower 380W.. I bought it after getting a recommendation from the SilentPC Yahoo mailing list.. and well.. it's ok.. The voltages are rock.. I'm running lots of stuff of of it and I've never had problems - love it from a power output point of view. As to noise.. I think it's better than a...

I couldn't find a recent version of SIV but it looks like that bloatware EasyTune 4 by Gigabyte reports temps.. Try it - maybe it'll get the temps right. I personally don't like it - it's big and slow.. but I was trying an older version. Anyway.. if it works you can always figure out the offset and ...

I'm just guessing but I thought I'd add some comments.. rbmcgee you say you have a card which reports itself as a "Promise Ultra133 TX2 IDE Controller".. is there any chance that it could just be a clone and therefore miss a few things like SMART? Secondly, any chance that there's a BIOS setting on ...

The reason I took out the 92mm.. .. I can afford to have less airflow going into the PSU, since that air won't be very warm (my average case temperature near the cpu/gpu/chipset is around 28C. ..The 92mm being taken out of the PSU also makes a very good pathway for the air to go through the PSU. ho...

... - Antec TruePower380 with no 92mm and a Zalman/resistor combo, but connected to the PSU fan connectors Sorry CulRidr.. I got no answers for you but something that I'd really love to know is how well the TP380 runs with no 92mm fan.. I can hardly feel ANY airflow out of the back of my unmodded T...

I don't know this mobo but it is possible there is an offset on the readings.. have a look at the 8IHXP here . ...I'm not sure what that link you posted is doing?... Sorry for the confusion.. it's just an example of how a Gigabyte mobo can return results which need to be compensated.. if you have a...

The CPU is 21^C idle, and never jumps above 32^C when at 100%. I have...

But that document sucks. Not very helpful at all. So the connector on page 25 (IDELED1) of the manual doesn;t work? I guess that that may only apply to the NB PATA. So why isn't the PDF helpful? The circuit is plain enough.. honestly.. if you need an explanation of the bits (I'm not trying to be pa...

Gawd, I love statistics.

"87% of statistics are made up on the spot" -- I heard it first by Vic Reeves (a UK comedian) but he may have been quoting someone else.

Ah.. so that's what this story's about.. I thought it had something to do with human cloning, or maybe this:

Rat called Ralph is latest clone

EDIT:

PhD student.. Telecoms related.. but I also do all kinds of freelance stuff.. coding, network hacking and design.. also non-PhD related research.. some high speed metro network research, IP QoS.. you name it
I chose "Technology (i.e. engineering, research)" rather than student.

I know it's been already mentioned but it looks like www.kustompcs.co.uk have just expanded their range of quiet bits.. I noticed the following items were recently added: Nexus NX3500PSU (350W 120mm fan jobbie.. don;t know how quiet though). ZM-80C-HP Heatlane Zen NCU1000 P4 Fanless Cooler - big mof...

1028000?

Call me stupid but I don't get it. Maybe you mean 1048576? (1024*1024, 2^20)

Conclusion: Wow, what a CPU !

Damn, I like it. I wish it was cheaper and had more mobos.

For the hard drive.. power down, disconnect power lead to drive, power up. Listen. Repeat with drive connected. The Mark I ear is an amazing instrument, when calibrated properly. Alternatively put the computer into suspend mode (if you've got it - should be in the same dialog as logout/power-down)....

According to the Ebuyer website it says that these Pentium M CPUs are 'Skt 478' - does that mean that these puppies will fit in a standard P4 motherboard? Here's hoping... :wink: It would mean it'll fit, if it was actually a S478.. if you shearch for the Mfr Part # (BXM80535GC1600E) at intel.com yo...
