so is it actually 12.6 volts? or is it just a problem in reading the correct voltage? i searched briefly last nite when i read the reply from technopride--somewhere someone said they checked their a7n8x with a voltmeter and it came to about 12.7 to 13 volts. it's really 12.6v, verified with multime...

that happens with my current allied 450w powersupply 12.67v in bios mbm5 reports 12.07--and i'd like to believe that. i had a powersurge once and figured that was the reason. do you think its really that high? Check with voltmeter, 12.07 is normal, 12.67 is not. AFAIK allied PSUs are rebadged codeg...

Your system is heavily +5v oriented.

I'm not sure how the S12 or TPII will fare under such a system, but my FSP's +12v rail goes haywire under my A7N8X.

Can u say 12.6v for the +12v rail?

Gotta say that scares me.

many of ADDA's fans aren't listed on their website. I can't find the specs for their 80mm low speed sleeve bearing fans as well

I believe the Logitech UltraFlat is available under another brand in the US.

saw this pic over at HardOCP.

It has a black on silver theme and has a few multimedia buttons which the Logitech version lacks.

Those look like ADDA fans to me

old -> Globe
new -> ADDA?

wouldn't that cause it to spin a mind blowing 2000rpm?

With the thermistor, even 1600+ is very noisy already

hi what are ur system specs?

For a low power system, you can safely put a 1200rpm fan inside the psu.

anyone knows if the VM102 can be installed on an AGP 6600 with the HSI heatsink?

the stock cooler covers both the GPU and the HSI chip. The Palit card doesnt follow the nvidia reference design. If you are going to install an aftermarket cooler, you need another small heatsink to cover the HSI chip, then also consider whether your GPU heatsink can clear the HSI heatsink. I'm inte...

well, I have a Leadtek 6600 with that same fan.

I didn't try Rivatuner, but the fan isn't anything close to quiet even when idle. Swapped it for a Zalman ZM80A

drives read those smaller discs at a slower speed compared to the usual discs.

No surprise that they are more quiet. If you're using Nero DriveSpeed to control the read speed, it probably doesn't make much of a difference.

It IS a rebadged Zen 400w

I remember Fortron listing the 400w version somewhere on their website

about the Comfort Curve 2000, does it have the annoying "F" function key whereby you have to activate something before the F1-F12 keys work normally?

thanks

you might want to try a 1200rpm Coolermaster.

I have a generic (possibly YateLoon D12BL-12) fan rated @ 1200rpm 12v in the PSU and it doesn't run hot.

saw a preview of the 7800GS on Anandtech today. Lower specs compared to the 7800GT. Sounds like an excellent candidate for passive cooling

and the external power is crazy

people who buy this probably run it with some OCZ 520w or 600w PSU, which eliminates the need for external power. All these means added costs.

drats...i think it's the lighting in SR's labs.

hmmm...nice golden top!

wonder why SPCR's sample has a silver top

i'm very sure i saw a 400w of the zen on fsp's site before

it's seems to be a budget psu. Note the absense of "FSP" in its model naming. The Bluestorm AX500 is an exception though.

If i'm not wrong, there's also no PFC of any sort?

Techno_Pride, why did you post that Dark Shine keyboard here if no one can get it :cry: . Although that right shift key is very unnerving -- had one on my Sony laptop and it drove me nuts! actually it doesn't really matter :lol: I tried out the Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 in a store today and love...

It's hard being an ecologist and liking computers at the same time, but the concept for this PSU rocks: cheap, simple and ecologically friendly. Apart from that the fact that it doesn't weigh much can be great for LAN partyers, after the case the PSU is the heaviest component. The thinner cables mi...

Liteon? I know their build quality is kinda crappy, but there's a tool out there to lock read speeds in firmware. So that u don't have to mess with NEro DriveSpeed, which can't seem to lock the drive to a certain speed permanantly. I have a 16P9S dvdrom drive which is crap at 2x dvd speed, there's s...

that coolmax is not a bluestorm. The bluestorm has dual +12v rails, the coolmax doesn't

the Bluestorm AX500 reviewed here uses a Protechnic fan. Moreover, I've seen a review of a bulk(?) FSPxxx-60THN (Bluestorm equivalent without the bling factor) that shows a Yate Loon fan, even though my own retail Bluestorm comes with a Protechnic. Not too long ago, a store here sold the FSP300-60BT...

yes, if it's a PCI-E card.
