Unfortunately, there were no such setting. I did, however, notice that my power supply had some separate thin cables for fans, so i went with that. The fan seems to be spinning really slow anyway (my 800rpm noctua in this case), but it doesn't make any ticking noise or similar, so it doesn't matter.

It's not a PWM fan, and it runs as it should if i plug it into a non-PWM connector. It may be that sys_fan2 tries to do something with the fan... I had hoped that it would work, seeing as cpu_fan is a pwm connector too but works fine. Meh... I may have to resort to using molex. =/

Yeah, so i installed a 800 rpm slipstream i my computer, and it makes this anoying ticking noise. Turns out that it spins in ~400 rpm for some reason. I plugged it into a "PWR_FAN" connector on my ga-p35-ds3. Can't find any strange setting in the bios. Anyone have any ideas on why it spins at half s...

I will most likely get it... But i'm still waiting for a good swedish store to sell it. >_>

Ok, cool. I will probably be getting one then.

I found this samsung drive called F2 HD103SI. It's supposed to be a 1TB 5400rpm drive on two platters. Sounds really good as a storage unit. On that note, how big difference is it between 7200rpm and 5400rpm drives? Could I, say, watch some ultra high-tech format movie from a 5400rpm drive without a...

What? For real? That sounds too stupid to be true. I sense that their knowledge of the pan-galactic gargle blaster was strong.

I have some random razer mouse. It has by default a silent scroll, heh.
...Still sounds when pressing the LMB and RMB, of course.

I can't even find that card in their graphic card section. >_>

You can't halve a Celsius or Fahrenheit temperature as the 0 is arbitrary .

Well, that's true... but it sounds good.

If you check comments on the news of this card most of them are laughing that it's impossible, going to fry etc. apparently not knowing how bad the stock cooler really is, despite being active. It is more likely to fry with the stock cooler. The S1 Accelero without any fans attached to it about hal...

Bwahaha, i think you just won the game. xD

I also noticed that cpu-z displays the same values for a range of bios Vcore settings, why is that? Nice, 1.10000V! When i chose that setting it died a few seconds after windows started. =/ Edit: Hmm. It looks like 1.10625V was to little or something random made my system crash. Anyhow, increased vo...

The lowest step i can pick with my E8400 at stock speed(9 x ~333.3) in the BIOS is 1.10625V.
CPU-Z shows 1.072V in idle and 1.056V during load.

Awesome, thanks =)

How would the 1200 RPM slipstream at full speed compare to a tricool on the medium setting in terms of noise?

Alright, thanks.

Can anyone recommend a good controller to me? I would need to control three fans. Is the scythe kama meter anything to look at?

hmm... don't like that about it getting close to the RAM.
Is this going to fit on a mATX gigabyte board with four corsair DHX RAM(those with the extra high heatsink)...? Or is it a dead race?

I recently got steam, because i got some steam games with my graphics card. I also rather have CD/DVD than steam, but i think i can live with steam. But something that annoys me much is that when I start steam, internet goes down for a while, and then a little now and then when it's on! Therefore, i...

For some reason, it seems to step less now. All's well that ends well, i guess.

According to CPU-Z, my E8400 is constantly changing its multiplier, why is that?
At first i thought it was this speedstep i've heard about, but from what i can see, it's turned off... and even if it was on, why would it then up the multiplier in idle(and down it ad infinitum)?

Can't you just trim off some of the heatsink fins to give you some more room? Could be a solution, if I had any tools. >.> Anyways, it's solved for now... i took my brothers unused RAM, it'll do for now. I must say... this computer is darn quiet! :D My first build, have taken a lot of tips from her...

ok, so i have done a slight miss. i have corsairs DHX line of memory(some sort of cooler on top), and they are so tall that the graphics card(sapphire 3850 ultimate) can't go into place. What should i do? Right now i'm thinking about getting the same model of memories but without the cooler. Would t...

Ah, I see. Makes sense to me.

To me they look different... but it's hard to tell for sure, since they are not positioned the same.

Actually there is a 3870 of the exact same card ( Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4, PCI-Express 2.0, "Ultimate Edition" ). Out of curiosity, has anyone seen that particular card anywhere else than that specific page? Can't find it on either google or sapphire's webpage. Strange. Edit: Perhaps it...
