No, the fan mate on the back controls the CPU fan. I have another fan mate that is hidden and sticked in the DVD drive cage on one side,that one controls the exhaust fan. I was thinking that the the fan that you will undervolt/overvolt the most should be the one that you will use the most, and as su...

Cheers SPCR! Many thanks for the cool ideas from the members falcon26 and Konnetikut , about how to do good cabling. This is the fruit of 10 hours of work and 1.5 months of investigation on this forum. Case: P182B with pre-applied Acoustipak Deluxe V2 -Modified with tin snips and dremmel to create ...

If you can answer my latest questions that would be VERY NEEDED now, because I'm in "building rig mode"" :-) Also,when you say? 3) Yes. No it wasn't a 2-3 degree difference...there was actually no difference at all. I added a noctua 1200 + U.L.N.A. in the bottom chamber as well. Then why are you usi...

So, taking the idea from Mojo and Mike C. I'm currently building my Q6600 P182 build, and I just couldn't avoid it. There is nothing that knife can't do to help, so I went ahead. See the results for yourself. http://www.3doracle.com/build/doors1.jpg So yeah, you can cut the the back guilty plastic p...

Thanks fr answering Konnetikut.

I think I will use the washer trick intead of a penny, I will use one 1 inch diameter metal washer with a hole on it.

I've just finished my cabling following Konneticut's build. Yes I can cnfirm it bulges considerably, at the beginning. But I've worked around this using a lot of tape and having all the cables very very tight to the back panel. I've found a way to close it fast and secure. It requires some thinking ...

Hi Konnetikut: So at last I'm building my machine, I was waiting for the X38 Asus mobo, and now I have it :). Paired with nice Ballistix DDR3. I'm going to post pictures and the whole story very soon. I live in California,so temps might be different than Vancouver, but I'm using a Q6600 Stepping G0 ...

Thanks guys... Yeah, I have seen that guide before, it's very good, but IMHO it's starts to get messy when the guy starts modifying the PCI-E frequencies... Anyway... you said you have reched 3.2 in your Q6600 in a P5K mobo. The bios is not much different than the one on the P5E3. Would you mind pos...

Hey Mike: First, thanks very much for pointing this out. I'm about to start a P182 Build very soon and it will include a Geforce 8800 Ultra. So this news come very handy. Would you please let us know in this thread, once Antec decide to put their new vents on their site? Again, thanks a bunch for th...

Hi guys: This question has probably been asked many many times, but see I just bought a Q6600 G0 stepping (SLACR) cpu and it will be cooled by a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme, inside a P182B case and just intealled Asus P5E3 Deluxe Mobo (X38 finally!) And believe it or not a very wealthy but eccent...

That's why I need clarification

Hehe, I guess the answer tomy prayers would be the PenrynQ9550 sitting at 95W TDP, just like the the Q6600.

Penryn will only gain in 12mb cache and SS4 instructions, but for the die shrink to 45nm we will actually get nothing.

Hmmm

Hi smiling crow:

So you basically say that a QX9650 TDp 130W would consume less power than my current Conroe X6800 TDp 75W?

How is that so? Excuse me for my ignorance but I'm really trying to undertand.

Hey guys: Just checked the news on the upcoming Yorkfield brand on Nov.12. I was checking the TDP's on this things and until then I was looking foward to check the QX9650. But OMG did you guys see the TDP on that? 130W I was really hoping to get my hands on it, but seriously, the price on that chip ...

Yeah right. Only problem, on the X38 Gygabytes: Have you guys checked the huge heatsinks located on the back of the board? Yes, those heatsinks are actually placed on the back of the socket, making IMPOSSIBLE to intall any of our favorite heatsinks like the Scythe Ninja or the Thermalright 120 Ultra...

WARNING on this motherboard! Did you guys see the huge heatsinks at the bottom of the mothermoard (the other side). Thing is YOU WON"t be able to install any of our favorite CPU coolers in this mobo. We won't be able to install a Ninja, nor a Thermalright Ultra. I will have to pass on this one. Wait...

I knew it Konnetikut!!! Thanks for testing that stuff... it means a lot now hat I'm ready to build my P182 rig. And also thanks for that awesome pictures, I'm printing them as we speak. :-) I'm going to start my own thread very soon, I've just took pictures of my "negative pressure" p150 as an old m...

I know what's going on and someone has to say it. It's Scyhte's fault with the new revision B of the Ninja. I've onwed 3 of them already, the first revision, then the Ninja Plus, and then the Revision B. What happens is that the new mounting system for the ninja sucks, because it doesn't use a backp...

Konnetikut just do a quick test. Nothing fancy. I'm not telling you to remove the front intake fans at all. Just disconnect them. Take that cheap rubber from the liquid cooling tubes leaving the holes totally open. I don't know why Antec ruined this on the P182; the P180 did have those precious hone...

It is quiet enough. I mean like any other DVD drive.

But if you ask my honest opinion, I've just got two Asus DVD drives for my machine, and those OMG, are the quietest I've ever tested.

Ok guys... please don't slap me. I've just got unexpectedly my Evga Ultra KO one day before on the UPS. And I've just fitted it to my P150 (Solo equivalent), connected 2 PCI-E connectors from my Corsair 620HX. And played one round of Lost Planet on Windows XP, after it my temps: Using Everest Senson...

Until I see a review on a 8800 Ultra, I won't make a move with my wallet. Honestly, to make a review for it with just an 8800GTS sucks... Informative indeed, but doesn't let me know that for sure this thing can cool down a behemoth 8800 Ultra. Ninety bucks!! FUCK Zalman!! Let me choose a fan at leas...

And sorry,I forgot to answer your question. Yes I suggest trying removing your HD cage fan. If I'm not wrong, the negative pressure will bring air inside the case. It will be like a vacumm. Let's say you are on an airplane at 4 thousand feet and you break a window. You just need one window open, and...

Hi Konnetikut Thanks for your reply. I think that it might be the answer... This weekend I will find by myself when I put together the system,hopefully by Friday I'll get the 8800 Ultra. And I'm planning to post pictures of my build once it's ready. Just so you know, I will follow your cable routing...

Flacon26: I'm about to build my rig this weekend. I just got a Evga 8800 Ultra KO, coming in. I will try first with the stock heatsink, and I might go later with the HR03. I think I got the answer on why you have such good temps, and some of the other guys with mirror builds don't have such success....

And?

How did it work...?

I've got an Evga 8800 Ultra KO on it's way, and I want to know if this is what we need compared to the HR03...

Thanks man!! Please...

I've already purchased a P182 with a 620HX, and I really want to know how to route the cables... I'm moving from a P150 to a P182 so I really want to make a clean build this time...

Thanks a bunch!!

Ok, I don't want to be childish, but here I go....

BACK PANEL PICTURES!!!

Please!! I really need to know how you routed cables on the back....

Will do, thanks man!

I've been using ATI cards for years. And for the first time I feel I'm done with them, and going to switch for NVIDIA cards. Those damned ATI/AMD hairdryers.... I'm just fed up. You need to spend $$ to quiet them, and you want them doing exhaust cooling. Why NVIDIA doesn't learn the lesson about usi...
