We need to wait for PartEleven to get back to be sure. But from my reading the Pico was previously running a Biostar M7NCG, which AFAIK doesn't have ATX 12V.

Woah - apologies for double post but ...... I presumed that you had an ATX 12V power connector (the 4 pin, 2 yellow & 2 black) on the Pico. But the default config from mini-box does not include one. Have you added one? If not, my test above will more likely prove that you need one (than that there i...

OK, so it has to be some issue related to the PicoPSU/Antec adapter combo (as per your first post!). I would doubt it is the brick - but would be handy to check the wall power draw during POST for both the Antec and your spare PSU. Obviously seeing the actual peak is a lottery but having an idea of ...

Have you reset the BIOS settings with the jumper?

Assuming your CPu is 64-bit, recommend you run the SMP client.

I run a service, but could manually start
cd foldingathome
./folding start
close the window

and finish
cd foldingathome
./folding stop
close the window

Where is the option for none?

Where's the heatsink? In your second pic above, there are finger like aluminium bits holding down some grey components on the bottom of the psu tunnel. On closer inspection it looks like there are also components bolted to the top of the psu 'tunnel'. So looks like the designer is using the whole p...

Yup - power supply. I presume the fan in your pic is exhausting air to the right. I would start by converting those pathetic slits on the outside of the case into a proper outlet for the fan, duct the PSU/fan directly to the outside of the case and then drop the fan voltage. And/or if there is room ...

I put a zener diode on a 24V fan in an HP Laserjet that was bugging me. BUT YMMV - my logic was that the manufacturer designs the cooling for whatever ambient temps it says in the spec. In my case it was 40 or 50C, and as my ambients are more like 20-25 I figured I was safe to detune the cooling a b...

that's the thing with PWM fans, they never stop...

I'm with RoGuE on this - get a router that supports WPA and put a decent passphrase on it. It doesn't matter what you put for a WEP passphrase it can be cracked in minutes - avoid WEP. Driving round (regularly) to borrow your router for www access is pretty trivial. Hacking one or more PCs on your n...

Forcing children to attend school is only for their good, right ? Not at all - it is for the benefit of society. Better educated citizens provide a more capable society e.g. workers who will be higher earners and pay more taxes to help assist the less able (e.g. pensioners). Which is why education ...

Q = (1.76 * H) / T where Q is airflow in cfm, H is Heat dissipated in Watts & T is Temperature rise in Centigrade. Note headline fan airflow specs are in free air (no back pressure) - in reality your config has back pressure. To cause an argument assume your fan airflow will be half its free air spec.

Same CPU, somewhat similar setup (see sig) Add a fan to the HR-01+. How big a problem would the orientation be? Would another 800RPM fan be enough? This option gets my vote. My hsf is off when CnQ is active (but PC is folding) - gives CPU temp around 40C. If I disable CnQ then under folding load CPU...

I like my 780G setup (but have limited experience). I think S-video will be hard to find - the 780G does allow simultaneous digital (HDMI or DVI) and analogue (VGA) outputs. MythTV runs very well on this config and somehow seems to avoid all the opensauce Radeon/Catalyst issues (that cause me angst ...

49W by the rest of the PC. What CPU is that? It's pretty low powered, not at all typical. 4850e with CnQ running it @ 1000MHz. At full speed the whole system (780G based) is 100W: assume the PSU efficiency is up to 75% that is about 75W. [At 1000MHz it folds about 30 pts/hour which is what it does ...

Well, I disagree. Or at least, it depends. I think there is often a case to be argued that more than 1 fan is over-engineering, especially in these days of 12cm fans. To cause an argument let me describe my system. It is running 70W at the wall, lets assume the PSU is 70% efficient. That means 21W b...

PWM control is different to voltage control.

One fan is hard to do, but if you're up for the challenge... Tower, fan at the rop-rear, blowing out. I'm worried about that fanless PSU... Seconded - that is more or less my config but have the 120mm in the PSU (not sure the price of fanless PSU is justified). 99% of the time (when CnQ is active) ...

Since I am running Ubuntu I really don't know how to check the temp at full load (which really shouldn't be much, the most taxing thing it does is play mp3s) I can't seem to get the lmsensors to work with the Intel945gc motherboard.

These drives may be failing, but folks may not know it's due to a high "load cycle count". But can you or anyone confirm that any drives failed due specifically to high "load cycle count"?

A nice try, but unless you use the exact same work unit to compare then it is plain not possible. e.g. my SMP setup (Linux 64 bit, 2 cores) varies between 37 pts/hour and 15 pts/hour, and that is just looking at the last 10 work units. [Sadly not in the same scale as the article but then again I am ...

I know in the review it says that it isn't designed as a passive cooler because the fins are too close, but would it be able to passively cool a 5400+ that has been slightly undervolted? My 1283 is passive when CnQ is active on a 4850e. My psu has a 12cm fan more or less just above the 1283 so ther...

I agree - try it. In essence my only fan is a 12cm in my psu running at 8V. The main difference being I have a normal/tower case and my (room) ambient temp is around 20C. I presume your ambient could be higher and your case airflow is unknown - what is known is you will be trying to force an airflow...

Do you have any links? All I can find is related to NVidia graphics cards (or Win). (fancontrol in lm_sensors is old hat.)
