Memtest did not stress the ram nearly enought. Use Prime95 with the following settings for ram stress:

But it is nice to not have any noise on the scrolly wheel being that there isn't one.

It is very easy to achieve that in Logitech MX500 and MX510 mices. Just remove the spring, that is causing the clicks while scrolling with the wheel
As for the clicks, well, quality microswitches do click

Less powerfull, yet completely noiseless (fanless) setup can be achieved by using the Akase Euler case: http://s18.postimg.org/xhvqu1s2h/Akasa_Euler_case.jpg http://www.extrahardware.com/article/akasa-euler-when-noise-free-pc-reality/strana/0/2 I would probably tweak it a lot, but that is just me. I...

Yes, I can do that. But that would look horrible...

I ould prefer something prettier

Great idea! There is just one small problem, tough. I don't mind getting a secondhand cooler, not this... But the cooler is actually putting the radiator fins on the backside of the card. Nothing wrong with it, but there is not enought space on my setup for that. Because the fan that need to be at t...

These hi-pitched noise are usually from coils. I battled then on DFI LP B mobo so badly, that I poured silicone on the coils. But no help. After the mobo capacitor exploded and mobo stoped working I realized, that the Bad Caps (tm) plague is behind this noise. The bad caps lose their characteristic,...

Using a Point of View 8600GT card: http://s2.postimg.org/8a96lcui1/Point_of_View_8600_GT.jpg Point of View 8600GT ...it have reasonably quiet fan, but of course far too noisy for my liking. So I looked out for something that will fit well the reasonably small card, preferably overlaping ith 92mm fan...

I get feed up with constantly losing files and stuff, so I did managed to back up the data, reformat, and no chkdsk error ever since. But it is really sad that NTFS can show errors chkdsk cannot repair. Not any other tool... Makes me wonder if a better filesystem should not be used. I also very much...

lm - my HW is fine, thank you. And I wish any checking utility can SIMPLY repair the filesystem problem on my HDD, that it is. M$ by making such bad chkdsk. andyb - Pretty much the easiest thing you can do is to have a look at the SMART data... I'm sorry, I did that yesterday and the day before. Wh...

At first I made the mistake using Partition Magic v8.00 to setup a drive (2G FAT32 for OS, 184G NTFS for data). PM v8.00 is faulty and screw up the drive, mainly the NTFS partition. Usually the results are not as dramatic as I experience (mostly only windows is slow in powering off), however on VIA ...

ECS Atom 945GCT-D http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee193/trodas_cr/ECS945GCT-Dmobo1.jpg Now there is something for the quiet hope PC builders for net/video/downloading. ECS company show now on the Taiwan Cumputex Intel Atom powered 945GCT-D mainboard in DTX size (170 x 203 mm - well, there are ev...

Well, it is a year 2008 and my fanless server is still working pretty well and entierly stable

Recapping is a good thing and it is also necessary to recap the PSU as well

Glad you had it sorted I using Win2k server on my VIA C3 machine with ECS P6STMT mobo w/o any troubles from day one

Bad news - my fanless server machine died on me :oops: It could be attributed to the extemly hot days this summer (many temperature records fall and at one point I was having 33°C in my room - folding with 6 computers just in my room are torture sometimes...) however up for direct blame are ECS com...

Ha! Finally some results from my folding - 300k points broken

Your point is valid, however it also means less folding and that is BAD :oops: :wink: I never felt the need to update and I disabled always the service, so, not a problem with updated even under XP there, but I did not like XP at all, so I use my W2k SP2 (!) - yep, modified - and happily on my Opty ...

Anyway, I was wrong. Pictures of 200G Seagate drivers, from left my7200.7 and then 7200.8 type (this one won't click/generate noise in iddle): http://www.slibe.com/imagestumb/2c2bb12b-72007PATA_jpg.jpg http://www.slibe.com/imagestumb/0f1e651a-72008PATA_jpg.jpg (click to see full size) It is obvious ...

Its called STIR (Seek To Improve Reliability) where the drive does random seeking to avoid the head sitting on the same place on the disk, which they reckon could heat up that particular track on the platter. Now just HOW TO DISABLE IT. (better KILL IT WITH FIRE, tough...) Another user says this: H...

noee - I over heard it is called self check and the drive does it when iddle to "prevent diagnostic to prevent future failures". IMHO this is BS to say it politely. From my experience - what moves - fail. Sooner or later. So, moving more means increased chance of failure. For the very same reasons ...

Drive(s) in question - Seagate PATA 200G ST3200822A ones. Number of them - There. Description of problem - in folding machines, they are mostly idle. Yet each about 45sec or something a self check (or something like this INTO the drive, no IDE activity shown) is started. This generate click noise a...

Thanks a lot, Pete

With some luck, I might get another fast folder into my possesion and then move a bit up in the ranks, finally

Me sadly too - I wanted to enlighten one member that is enought to edit the signature as in HTML style (the img src= tag) - and I lost my sig as well, bloody hell!!!

Amazing - not fanless, but close enough! :) ...more informations about used videocard and temperatures (CPU/GPU/chipset on iddle/under load) won't hurt - the temps can't be low (read, comparable to normal NOISY cooling), however as long as things don'r overheat dangerously - hell - this is a GOOD th...

My MX510 and MX500 ones did not emit any noise whatsover, and I got sensitive ears + ultraquiet computer :? Im probably lucky that I did not get the "bad batch" or something?! :roll: My suggestion to quiet this whinning one is to glue all, what can move - eg. produce such noise - and add the filteri...

My main machine can go up to 225x12 (2700Mhz - PR3800+ rating ) using just one fan - in the PSU - as well



I managed it by fanless watercooling

After a few weeks of usage of the Mitsumi FA404 combo floppy/reader device I would like to report what I find :P The drive is VERY quiet, it much quiet that any other floppy I ever had. It seems kinda reliable too, but I own only 2 pieces, so no reliable judmenting could be made... :) I like on the ...

Well, in just a day I have to slow-down to about his speed, so Im being nice :wink: :) So no big deal with the overtake :P ...actually, just 800 or so points left, just finishing few WUs and ... :twisted: ...sadly I probably did not manage to pull out it just for a while to the RED (means over 5000 ...

Great contribution to project and team too
Congratulations
