Ok its a fortron FSP550-60PLN and after looking around your forum I read the sticky about testing with a multimeter so I checked it with a fluke the board I tested with was an old dinosaur pc chips m810 and I had to cut the four extra leads back for the motherboard 24-20 pin. The funny thing is I l...

full psu and motherboard model number, please.

Some (if not most/all) of the newer ATX 2.0 PSUs' +12v line goes haywire on older systems due to heavy current draw on +5v line.

The DVR-111D can be flashed to the DVR-111 to enable the DVD-RAM writing. However, there is a foamed version, the A11XL which is supposed to be more quiet than the regular DVR-111/D. Take note there is another version (for the Asian market??), A11FX which looks like the A11XL, but lacks the internal...

the casing is fully steel, right?

so will it fall apart should I, say, put a printer on top of it?

I used to have an LG 4120B. IIRC, when I tried to lower the read speed of a DVD R disc with movie files, the drive didn't lower the rpm immediately. If you try to read the contents of the drive in Explorer, you'll then notice the drop in speed. It's a little slow to respond, I guess. EDIT: nvm. I ju...

Coolermaster LED 1200rpm.

not sure about the UK

but the Coolermaster Coolviva is really cheap here in Singaopre. It's only slightly more expensive than a Zalman NB47J.

100c is not right.

I have a 6600 (oc'ed to 450/625) with a zalman zm80a-hp. Doesn't break 80C on load, playing NFS most wanted.

since you're having problems with a stock cooler, you might want to rma it instead of taking the trouble to take the whole thing apart.

I believe some of the MSI nf4 boards come with a 24bit 7.1ch Soundblaster Live.

hehe

still holding onto an AthlonXP Mobile 2500+.

It can clock to 2.4GHz, but that would need noisy cooling

so it's stuck at default 2500+ 1.83GHz at the moment.

I am guessing you haven't seen the newer LG drives. I have a made in korea 4120B (w/ the round button, sexy strip in front) and a recent china 4167B. Massive difference in build quality. I have a recent Liteon DVD-ROM drive (Sony 1615 aka Liteon 16P9S) and I find the build quality better than the LG...

I have 2 of those in my Sonata.

I find them to be more quiet than their UV/LED counterparts.

Running both @ 7v

scythe katana?

The heatpipes will be pointing up when installed in a case, although i'm not sure whether it'll hit your PSU or block all your DIMM slots.

one user pointed out that his mobo manual recommends a 400w PSU. Then questioned why DFI is no longer supporting users using <480w PSUs.

Neither the moderator nor admin bothered to answer his query and locked the thread. what a truckload truckload of bullcrap

he wired the red+black wires of the fan together with the red+black wires connected to the PCB.

Pioneer A10/A11XL.

writes to all available DVD formats.

to get the full 500mA, i believe u need a device driver.

without a driver, the supplied current is less than that.

you need to make sure your K7S5A mobo has the 4pin square ATX12V connector. That means your motherboard is drawing power from the +12v line to power the processor. Most K7 mobos don't have that ATX12V connector, meaning the mobo draws power from the +5v line. The NeoHE wasn't built for a high load o...

I encountered something like this before.

It was due to a bad video card.

the 6600 and 6600GT (usually) use different RAM. DDR1 vs DDR3.

You can't use the GT BIOS on a non-GT card.

postfix P means PFC, but i'm not sure whether it refers to only Passive or both Passive/active.

The THN comes in non-PFC and passive-PFC variants.

(A12025-12CB-4KN-L1) 1200rpm 120mm

black version of Coolermaster UV/LED. Available only as bundle with casing. Closed corners.

I have 2 pieces of those. Very nice and more quiet than the UV/LED version with clear plastic.

if the TNT2 has mounting holes, the NB47J should work fine.

thanks for the link to the fan specs.

adda taiwan's website is useless

Hi there's no way I can get hold of a real D12SL-12 here wihout spending a bomb on shipping :( The closest I can get is a Thermaltake 120mm. It's rated for ~1400rpm and 0.3A like the D12SL-12. An example is the fan from the Big Typhoon. pic However, those seem to be made by a company named "Hong She...

I have the black version of the Coolermaster UV/LED. PL12S12L Strangely, it has closed corners compared to the open corners of the UV/LED versions. This one is rated 0.06A compared to 0.05/0.13A. the 0.13A is the red led version. The blue led seems to be rated at 0.2A. It doesn't have the RPM readou...

Plug it in, turn it on and check the BIOS voltage readings?

since u already bought it, no harm trying.

Those older Antec Truepowers and Smartpowers will work fine. My previous TP380S (Sonata) works fine with voltages within specs.

I can't tell how the TPII will fare because I don't have one.

yeah, it's the bluestorm. No such voltage problem with the TP380S (ATX 1.3v, independant voltage regulators). Maybe it's got to do with the PSU's voltage regulators for ATX 2.0 PSUs? The NF7-S uses the square 4pin (ATX12V? aka Pentium4 plug) connector to power the processor, so no such problems. I d...
