Thank you to RoyM of ARM
I just wanted to post a public thanks to RoyM @ ARM. I briefly mentioned in the Folding forum (why aren't you folding?) that my computer was not running as well as it could. It wouldn't post at 133FSB, even though the memory and processors can take it. This guy PMs me, gives me his company's toll fr...

Once upon a time, I had the same problem as you with a far older computer. We had an original Pentium/60 and we had left the computer on overnight playing flight simulator, and when we woke up the next day, the computer was doing exactly the same thing as yours. Result was that the power supply and ...

Just had to comment on this one. I cut out the grill on my SN41G2 today. Bought a pair of tin snips and a coarse file from Home Depot and I got to work while I dried my laundry. It took about 10-15 minutes to cut it out, and another 30-45 minutes of filing it down to a level that looked semi-decent ...

Considered using that stuff? Nah Sorry, but it looks like it's really expensive. It's was really hard for me to find someone who was actually selling it, and the one I did find was selling a sample pack for $125 Euros. It's DESIGNED to have high thermal resistivity, much higher than glass, but I hav...

The A4F 19-1HE uses a 3.5" drive. Its little brother, the A4F uses 2.5" drives. So maybe that's a deal un-killer? It is true that you can build something that's better for cheaper. Question 1 and 2 are, can you build it to be fanless and of the same size? I noticed that your case, the Silverstone LC...

Yeah, I read up briefly on Powerstrip and it seems that most people are using so that they can get their HTPCs to play HDTV quality stuff :). I've never used that program, so who knows if it can or cannot do all its functions on the Via. I did the little test you suggested. At 640x480, it was tough ...

I've come to fight the good fight for SPCR. The team that I WAS on previously didn't seem as interested in folding, so the team score dwindled slowly. I've come to fold with 3 FSB underclocked Athlon 2400+ XPs (1.5Ghz instead of 2.0) and a pair of Pentium III 550s. Let's see if we can overtake the k...

I'm at a loss for words here, since I'm not at all familiar with HDTV. I don't know if my TV is HD capable or not, but the Shuttle SN41G2 that I have acting as an HTPC can output a resolution of up to 1024x768 (or so the display settings claim). Again, I haven't noticed any downscaling in terms of v...

CFD: Mappit A4F 19-1HE, the perfect HTPC?
In this thread I outlined the features for the perfect HTPC. They are: Fanless TV-Out (so it can plug-in directly to the TV) S/PDIF out, so 5.1 signals get decoded by a nice receiver rather than stock DACs PCI slot for TV/Video capture card. Hard drive large enough/fast enough to record at least 2 h...

Given equivelent speed ratings T'breds tend to outperform Bartons. For example, a 2600+ T'bred will outfold a 2600+ Barton on most proteins. I think this is because for the same number, the Barton runs slower than a T'bred. Example, Athlon XP 2400+ operates at 2.0 GHz (except mine, where they run a...

Assuming you're running it on the idle priority, it shouldn't cause a problem. I've never noticed any problems with movie playback on my HTPC (Shuttle SN41G2 Athlon XP 2400+ underclocked --> 1.5GHz :( ) I don't have a Hauppauge yet (though I want one, it's lower priority than the other silent stuff ...

Perhaps ARM could help you out here. They obviously know a thing or two about quiet systems and seem very willing to help out the SPCR crowd. Maybe, but ARM doesn't really do business with UK much. Of course they DO seem to know a bit about Xeon systems, seeing as they have a crapload of Xeons fold...

Overdoing thermal paste?
I've got a painful question to ask. Has anyone overdid an application of paste? A couple months ago, I believe I did with my Shuttle XPC (SN41G2) in an attempt to cool it down. When I applied a little more than was specified in the online instructions, the overheat LED lit up when I turned it on. Af...

shutting up the PIII-550 x2
I've got a file server that stays on 24-7 and I JUST recently learned how to spin down the drives when they're not in use. Problem is that the sources of noise come from the power supply and the processor fans. I was debating getting the recommended VOS32, but they're kinda expensive for a heatsink ...

how about this: have a duct bringing air down into the heatsink and an outer duct pulling the air from the bottom of the heatsink out the case?

I guess we are drifting slightly off topic, but I still want to answer this one. Yes, you do have some minimum distance to some areas. First of all the minimum height is very low for doing anything extreme. quite a few of todays heatsinks are close to that limit if you consider the space needed abo...

The reason for the maximum weights is for shipment and handling mostly, not because the socket can't support the weight. If you mount through the motherboard with a supporting backplate you could take a few kilos without problem. The shipping IS a legitimate problem for most system builders, and no...
