We hanged Saddam. Why would Osama live for decades? Just let Karzai do it. Moslems Is that like how you say "aluminum" funny? A democratic governments principal function is to ensure the safety and security of it's people. If that means shooting self confessed terrorists so be it. Shoot first, DNA t...

If they are the same architecture, why would sandy and ivy differ in CPI? (as implied by those figures)

So those missingremote power figures are AC in? Wow.

This all looks very attractive. What are the specs of your build besides the already-stated cpu/mobo? (specifically, what is the boot media?)

I would lean VERY heavily towards a video card problem. ces is right, switching things out will narrow it down. Since Prime95/memtest worked, you can assume your CPU & RAM are okay. Memory errors would probably be a bit more random, anyway. Could also be PSU: you are definitely drawing more power wh...

It looks like as long as you have more CFM input from the front fans than CFM output from the rear fan, some of that air should go through the PSU. The X400 is supposed to be pretty hardy, and this seems like it wouldn't be worse than a standard ATX case (maybe better), but I don't have any hands-on...

He has a functioning link, but I'm afraid he only has it in short form.

WHY CAN'T THIS THREAD JUST DIE

What is the diameter of an orange?

Who is the current king of low-RPM ball bearing fans? (Someone else want to weigh in here?) Silentshoe: In terms of longevity, you'll want to avoid sleeve bearings if the fan axis is vertical. Personally I look at good fans as a worthwhile investment. What's an extra $10 on a $500+ machine? :D But a...

Greetings!

As Neil said, you may want to assess whether you actually need all that power! What components are you using?

Also: What country are you in?

Nice. Sadly, the article describes the fate of all K10s of late: Does it mean that AMD Brazos platform has totally fallen from grace? Not at all, because as we have mentioned in the very beginning of this article there are four major criteria for all integrated platforms. Even though it doesn’t boas...

considering the bottom 40% of americans pay no net INCOME tax. Just curious where this figure came from? Not saying you are wrong, but it seems unbelievable to me. With a standard deduction of <$10k, even if we assume dependents and marital status, would'nt this place the median income at little ov...

While we are on the subject: What about tiles with AcoustiPack on top of it?

The BIOS is AMI BIOS, not written in house (really, why bother when you can just get it off the shelf?) Wasn't sure if you used some esoteric components to hit that power figure :D I'm not sure exactly what you want to know Oh, I meant more what software did you use to route traces, etc :) But that...

Buy the Mac and install Ubuntu+WINE :D But seriously, you won't find a design as sexy as the macbook pro, no matter how hard you look :( And this is coming from someone who hates Apple. (Which is to say, I agree with the boot camp suggestion, if you must be double-evil :) ) Edit: Per CA_Steve's comm...

but is it ROHS compliant?

I'm interested how you went about producing the design, procuring the parts, and assembling!

Also: is this for commercial use? Mind putting up a PCB trace image? And did you write firmware?

That is an interesting point which I had not considered. I am not sure pull down menus with icons wouldn't have worked, too, though :) Honestly my only problem with the ribbons is that they are impossible to scan for what you need (ie scanning left-to-right is not natural, and the icons are not orde...

The circuit I'm working on, low pass filters the PWM signal into a linear voltage that multiplied by 4 and then gets current gain from the output transistor. This seems like the obvious/optimal solution :) Driving a DC fan with biased AC seems weird/scary! Edit: By weird/scary I mean transient char...

If you are not set on miti-ITX, the micro ATX version of the same board is $30 cheaper:

ASUS E35M1-M PRO:

Different audio chipset and no wifi, but otherwise very similar.

Cue collective groan.
The article also mentions 8 will support ARM ISA et al

The E5200 is relatively low power. It was actually pretty popular for HTPCs here, IIRC. You could almost get by with no fan at all if you got a tower cooler (though I would recommend a low speed fan to be safe). Has it been running on the stubby little stock cooler? Edit: Also, the E5200 was a penti...

This information may be outdated, but historically BIOS wake-on-keyboard only worked with PS2, and I believe mouse may be the same. I have definitely read about wake-on-usb, but I seem to remember that the device had to be on a specific USB header? (Since power must be maintained for wake-on-usb to ...

I actually agree with you that no source can be trusted, even SPCR, but the quote from quest is not a great example. I agree with him that three significant figures of data is meaningless without a methodology. And noise floor is a huge issue when you are talking <2dB, since if the noise floor was 1...

This may be semantics, but I would be absolutely astounded if the estimated deaths caused by this exceeds 2,000, or even 1,000. In my book, that makes this closer to no disaster at all than to Chernobyl. Now if you take a logarithmic/geometric interpretation of "close" there may be an argument, but ...

FWIW I love the stock athlon cooler on my sempron 140 htpc, but obviously the power involved is very different. Might be worth testing, though? (I believe I have voltage and PWM throttling on mine). I did have to pull the AMD sticker off it, as it was off-center and throwing off the fan's balance

So for example I had one Gigabyte motherboard which ran SpeedFan perfectly. On another Gigabyte motherboard any attempt to run the then current version of SpeedFan caused an immediate system crash. So Gigabyte's fault? Yes and no. Partially Gigabyte, partially the chip mfr's fault. I am pretty sure...

FWIW, I have had great experiences with ASUS customer support, and they have cross shipped DRMs (sent replacement prior to receiving defective product). I actually pay a couple dollars extra sometimes to stick with them, for this reason. Their dead pixel policy on monitors is not amazing, though. :c...
