Just being lazy; CnQ is very simple to set up and utilize; I'll mess around with CrystalCPUID tonight or later in the week.

And btw, the fan, voltage and temp. stuff is fully configurable and monitorable from Windows, too; here's the control panel for ABIT EQ: http://WWW.NgTechnik.com/Sigma2.5/ABITEQControls.jpg The only thing you can't control is what the voltage for the fans are at Low and at High. That's left for the ...

Okay, I've gathered the precise data and posted it here.

-Ed

Detail data relevant to SPCR: BIOS Voltage Controls are as such: CPU Core: 1.40-1.75V (no underclocking for my Venice, 1.40 stock :cry:) DDR Slot: 2.50-3.55V DDT VTT: 1.25-1.75V or DDR/2 nForce4: 1.50-1.80V HyperTransport: 1.20-1.35V DDR Memory Reference: -100 to +100, in 10s CPU Memory Reference: ...

Multiple fan controls with optional warning buzzer temp and shut down temp. You can set a low mode temperature trigger and fan voltage and a high mode temperature trigger and fan voltage, and base it upon one of a few different sensors; fan voltage minimum setting is as low as 6.0V on certain ports....

Sweet; thanks! Damned if I don't have time to look at this right this moment...

A link is generally a good idea for people too lazy to go searching for one themselves.

This thing does look pretty interesting; I'd like to see somebody do a comparison on this against XP-120 and CNSP7700-(Al)Cu some time, and if we're really lucky, include a CNPS9500 in there, too.

wim: The green LED display at the bottom is part of ABIT's uGuru system (microGuru?); it indicates current state of the board in live time, very specifically, with codes like POSTing, drive detection, memory testing etc. etc.--if something fails during boot, like you're attempting to overclock and t...

Uhm yeah, same as the old build.

Okay, my bad; I just checked again and it is no longer available at NewEgg.

Okay, I admit that this is rather long past due. I've revamped my silent rig twice since doing Sigma One, but was too lazy to go through the trouble of shooting pics etc. Since I had a bit of free time finally, I figured that while I was at it for the second overhaul, might as well get some photos i...

On all the adapters I've used, the two wires for power come out of the side opposite the four pins for setting master/slave.

OEM: 1 year
Retail: 3 years

If not SmartFan, use DTemp. I like this the best for HDD temp monitoring.

Just to let you guys know, in case you're not following the ABIT AN8 thread, I posted some results there that are relevant to this topic.

Holy s*%&.. I want one!!! awesome pictures :twisted: Thanks. 8) Btw the 15mm thick fan they used on the sample I shot the photos of at the show were made by Globe; sorry, I couldn't catch if they were ball bearing or sleeve. I tried to get a shot of the fan label but it came out too dark. :oops: -Ed

EDIT: Moved the info on my AN8-SLI build to here, and posted plenty of pics.

-Ed

Wow that thing looks heavy!

I hope they've improved the mounting system, as the one on the VM-101 would not be secure enough, IMHO, to handle as much weight as this VM-102 appears to have...

I no longer use this PSU in my silent rig, and I no longer do PSU fan swaps with thermistored fans.

can’t we all just get along??? I don't know; ask wim what the problem is that he has with me, maybe he'll actually tell you. It's been a long standing issue of some sort that he's had with me that he feels the need to randomly antagonize me, long before you showed up. Every time I ask him what driv...

"Unlike DRAM-based main memory, the iRam card doesn't lose data when the PC is switched off, said Thomas Chang, a product manager at Giga-byte. As long as the PC is plugged into a socket, a very small amount of current continues to run through some parts of the system, including the PCI slots. This...

hey with a ram drive, what happens if the ram lose power by some psu/battery cock-up? it mean you have to setup OS again from some image, right? it would make me feel really weird thinking of my work there kindof electrically treading water. i suppose people would only use this to actually run the ...

From tomshardware news "The RAM disk will be shipping in the third quarter of this year and will carry a price tag of about $80." I taught they said it will cost $50, why is it changing. Thanks I don't know; last I heard it was $50; if it goes up, that's not too nice, but this is still cheaper than...

I'm afraid latencies and seek times have nothing to do with bandwidth, and consequently, transfer rates. It's the same thing with kids and food: even with a small mouth they can taste the food right away, but eating a large meal can take a long time ;) For me, though, the bandwidth between the plat...

FYI, I shot an email at Gigabyte conveying the interest of myself, as well as the quiet PC community, in this particular product. I also put in a good word for SPCR. With any luck, maybe SPCR will be able to get their hands on a pre-production model, or at least be one of the first to review the pr...

They came in already; they're way nicer than the PCB ones I had before, and they come with clear instructions on which direction to attach them to the drive; also, the necessary pin has already been knocked out for compatibility with IDE cables with the blocked pin. I can't be happier!
