it makes it an expensive 6600GT though

This card only has 8 pipes

Buy a FeK Pro and put the Fek+raptor on top of some foam, its what I did.

With it placed infront of my case with a 120mm papst @5v as the intake, I get 38oC from SMART and 40oC from a thermal probe attached to one of the lead heatsinks on the side of my raptor.

I used to own a baracuda IV and remember all the fuss about getting the first firmware update that removed the chatter of the read/write head used to check disk integrity. I think I read about this on storagereview.com's forums about a firmware update that helps with RAID compatibility. It was found...

I dont own a silentmaxx enclosure, but I do have a Fek Pro sourced from http://www.pcsilent.de which is similar. Before I give my opinion on the Fek Pro, I had problems with attaching a sata cable to the back forcing me to mod the sata connector. Im not sure but I would check out if the silentmaxx h...

The gigabyte is a great board, but I did have to cut the bsel1 pin to get a 800fsb overclock. Its at the p4-m default 1.2v vcore (lower crashes sometimes). To cut the bsel1 pin read the guide above or read an old discussion here One other problem ive noticed and I think this affects other motherboar...

A mobile pentium 4 should work in that mobo.

A word of warning about the Asus p4p800 or any Asus for that matter. They normally lock all their bios from running vcore lower than the default 1.5v.

Yeah some motherboards just lock most of the options to increase the FSB for ALL 400FSB CPU's, wether they be mobile P4's or ordinary desktop P4's. Im sure alot of overclockers will know with the old 400FSB CPU's in todays motherboards the bios just prevents them from running at a 1:1 ratio with mem...

thanks ralf, too busy at work to reply. I highly recommend a Gigabyte board, supported mobile CPU straight out of the box. Enough overclocking features to get the job done, and i was about to run at 1000fsb (but my memory cant run at 1:1 ratio). Undervolts to 1.0v I think. I would think most new Gig...

I HIGHLY recommend anyone who is ok with cutting a pin of the bottom of a mobile P4 CPU, to BUY ONE. I just got a watt meter and at full load im at 91 watts AC with 2.4ghz 800fsb 1.1875v 72 watts DC - PSU 19 watts of heat I tried putting the vcore up to test it, at full load 127 watts AC with 2.4ghz...

Yep did it to two CPU's To do the mod correctly you need to dowload the Intel Developer Datasheets for P4. This will show you the correct pins you need to cut. A post in The Naked Review Forum provides a picture. Using the picture from the forum link above, the pin I cut was 3rd down and 5 across. T...

True the multiplier defaults to 12x, but im assuming must people would atleast buy a motherboard with some overclocking features to enable them to run at the normal speed. Although not to most peoples taste, the Pin Mod made my CPU use 200 (800) FSB instead of the default 100 (400) FSB for all P4-M....

If possible get a P4-M instead of a celeron, afaik the celeron is even more limited with the p4 technology than the P3 celeron was. Anyway I would recommend mobile CPU's to everyone reading this website.... thats if 2.4Ghz is powerful enough for u. My first P4 was a 1.6Ghz P4-M, I was able to run it...

These cases look great, they will make the hotest components in todays computers a lots cooler and quieter.

The only problem I see with these cases is a graphics card with a zalman ZM80A-HP or ZM80C-HP. These coolers will not work properly in these cases.

erik98225: You must use alot of watts at idle (possibily the AMD no going into full idle state). My SuperTornado-350w has a papst 4412FGL at 5v, at idle the air coming out the back is between cold and room temperature. Although at full load the air coming out the back is probably 40oC like you said....

Dont worry about it i have the same mobo and a zalman NB sink, and my computer is 100% stable, check my sig

GA-8IPE1000 Pro ZM-NB47J

I dont think theres a case anywhere that provides enough ventilation for the Tornado. I have an Antec Soho, none of the noise dampening material I have covers ANY vents, I also have a side panel case fan. But if I open the side panel the tornado spins down about 100-200 rpms When it comes to heat ju...

np yeah intel test the chips in the middle of the waffer because there better quality, to see if they pass the higher quality checks of laptop processors. Ones that dont pass are now desktop processors. All laptop chips (P4m's) default to a multiplier of 12 in every desktop motherboard, something to...

thx for the reply nah my cpu is just a standard P4m I mean its a pentium 4 northwood, but its been hand picked to be able to run at a lower voltage. Intel called these chips P4m. All P4m's use a 400FSB but I had to break off one of the pins at the bottom of my processor to fool the motherboard to th...

I have an IBM 180GXP in a FEK-Pro harddrive enclosure which is able to cool 10,000 rpm drives. I am going to buy the Raptor 74GB, but I dont want the idle noise to be much higher than my ibm (i dont care much about seek noise). I can still hear the faint sound of the high pitch noise the ibm emmits ...

Although the heat coming out the back and the PSU cover feels the same as my Q-technology 300w. To silence my Tornado 350w I used a 5v a papst 4412FM. Now my zalman cnps7000A at 5v is too loud :shock: I found that the large yellow coil in the middle of the PSU heats up the PSU cover alot. I also fou...

I have but dont use an aopen AX4SPE, the silent tek idea is great and the options are vast, you could spend hours tinkering. But the silent tek windows program is quite buggy, random crashes, exiting the program causes about 20 error messages to appear. With silent tek set to change fan speed when t...

bah no point now i was gonna buy a radeon but not anymore
my GF4 Ti4600 is incompatible with it

Where did u buy it?

If u dont want it ill take it for 15


*just found it on overclockers.co.uk

don't see any for sale on eBay, or in my local stores. I searched on "P4M".

Although im searching the UK only ebay, search for 'mobile intel' or 'mobile intel p4'

I suggest a P4m processor I just put together a P4m 1.6ghz which is around 30w this is a laptop processor but it fits in most new P4 motherboards, the board im using is a AX4SPE-N. i cant really give you any temp readings cause of aopen's buggy bios's and erratic temp fluctuations (dont buy aopen). ...

Although a 300w would work fine with all that hardware, the >150w power used will force the fan in all quiet 300w psu to spin up. So i suggest you would buy a Seasonic SS-400FS unless your willing to buy a psu from america... Off topic but out of interest where did u buy a Thermalright SP94 in the U...

A sleeve bearing fan undervolted is usually quieter than a ball bearing at the same speed, atleast thats what i have found with all my fans. but in mike's review of the fan in his nexus The 29 dBA rating is lower than most similar fans. Listening with the PSU on idle, I can say that airflow noise is...

ill post this here instead of starting a new thread, sorry if its a bit off topic. For everyone that thinks the nexus is loud because of the fan noise (not the air turbulence). The nexus PSU mike reviewed had a different fan the MGA8012HB. The nexus PSU i bought from quietpc.com has a MGA8012HS-A in...
