just as Chris mentioned, you need to buy a 3pin plug and wire it yourself

as for a fan controller, the generic one reviewed here fits nicely behind the drive door.

GPU core 52C GPU ambient 53C In the past I've found high CPU temps to be caused by high ambients (bad case ventilation). Could this be the case here? Any chance for you to measure the fan intake temp above the CPU? the GPU ambient is probably not indicative of casing temp. It is a sensor on the vid...

system specs AthlonXP Mobile 2GHz (10x200MHz, ~1.6v) Zalman 7000A-AlCu @ 7v, ~1975rpm Asus A7N8X-DLX 1.04 (vdd mod 1.8v) FX5800 NU (2D: 250/400MHz, 3D: 400/800) Zalman 80-A + 80mm L1A @ 7v Antec Sonata 1x120mm Antec @ 6v intake 1x120mm Coolermaster LED @ 6v exhaust Truepower 380S When i run Prime95 ...

perhaps the extra amps' for the LEDs?

anyway, both the UV and LED versions are rated for the same speed and noise anway.

is it possible to take out the stock 120mm antec fan without ruining the 4 isolators?

I have a 120mm CM LED fan with the same part/model numbers as well.

however, those are rated at 0.15A (on package) or 0.13A (sticker on fan)

mine says 1220rpm and 42cfm as well. Seems like coolemaster needs to get their marketing team sorted out

I just got a new Antec Ttruepower 380S.

Strangly enough, even though the 380S delivers 1amp less on the +5v line compared to the old (1st gen?) Truepower430, the380S spits out a whopping 8amp more on the +12v line.

+3.3v, -5v, -12v and +5vSB specs are the same for both PSUs. Any comments?

Only if you're trying to induce a positive/negative atmosphere inside your case. An example would be when watercooling, you're fan would need to be sealed to a spacer/plenum in between the fan and radiator to focus the airflow and eliminate pressure loss. The fan isolators from SA can also be found...

Are there any ...

hi, is there enough space to fit a harddrive + serillel2 inside the sonata, considering the unusual sideways installation of 3.5" drives?

thanks

thhe gugabyte card seems to be a GF4 MX card, thus it will work fine with a passive northbridge heatsink.

Do not try the same thing on a 6600!

A zalman ZM80-x heatpipe with a low speed fan @ 5v should work fine on a 5900 or 6600GT.

I used zip ties to mount a panaflo on my zm80a.

don't worry. no melting iwll occur. and my vid card is a hot FX5800.

i think the blutak will weaken/melt with heat...

fanmate 1 spits out 4.8v at minimum setting as measured with a cheapo multimeter.

i bought one of those UV reactive fan.

Funny how the amp rating on the package differs from the rating on the fan sticker by 0.01A (IIRC)

it makes an awful noise @ 5v and it's not as quiet as L1A at 12v. Bad buy.

well, I thought the coolermaster hs with more fins would cool better. ok I admit it...i bought it on impulse

i live in singapore, where it's sunny almost everyday

hi all I have an A7N8x-DLX 1.04 with 7000A-AlCu as well. I swapped the default northbridge hs with a coolermaster passive hs. The 7000A makes contact with the nb sink and i'm not sure whether it's preventing the 7000a from making proper contact with the barton core. my load temp seems kinda high, 60...

everything seems all right to me...

my SP1614N has the same stats.

seems like this's the only model that can cool the FX5800's ram chips even though it's spec-ed for the FX5700.

anone tried this yet?

I am thinking of getting an external usb2/fw1394 casing. But it seems that many of them come with small (and prob noisy) fans.

I may be running a CDRW or DVDRW drive in there. Anyone have any experiences with overheating if i rip out the fan?

btw would the packaging melt if placed on top of a heatsink?

I'm thikiing of sourcing for one of those gel-packs and putting on my Zalman ZM80A's top heatsink plate.

I think burnmx.exe is a better stress test for your processor.

My Cel 1.2 passes Prime95 and burnk6 @ 1.6GHz, but fails burnmx.

I am using this combo for my Cel [email protected] at the moment

thinking of getting a mobile barton may be 2500+. Think the hetsink/fan combo can handle the heat>?

on s serious budget

thanks

well...I have a BarracudaIV in use for 2 years and the Raw Read Error rate and the Hardware ECC Recovederd seem to have the same value and change all the time
