Re: More Seagate 5400.3 "Thunking"
Seagates have always made random "clicking" "buzzing" "ticking" "thunking" sounds depending on which model you have. Whenever the drive is idle it moves the internal parts around to increase their life. It's normal but annoying.

Ack, Help w/ Changing voltages w/ crystalcpuid and a dfi ut?
Using a dfi ut nf3 motherboard and a sempron 3100+ s754 I can change the multiplier with or without CnQ enabled in the bios with crystalcpuid. I can't get the voltage to change (using crystalcpuid) under either setting. I've tried setting the voltage to "auto" and various fixed settings in the bios ...

Its a little hard to cool the bottom as its open circuit down there not to mention there is nowhere near enough surfaces to conduct the heat. I noticed the sides of the HDD do become hot but also when I placed my hdd in suspension in the case, on warm days, the top of the hdd do become pretty hot. ...

Well I tried it again on the silenx with the ferrite ring. Basically I just used an old speaker magnet as you can see in the pic. I can still hear a high pitched noise coming from the psu. Admittedly with this psu I have to stick my head within 2 feet to hear it. I'll try later with my other ones. O...

Do Barracuda IV's cause PSU coil whine? mine does
I have been noticing a slight whine from my PSU. For an unrelated task I hooked up a DM9+ to my computer instead of the Cuda. The whine went away. I tried 3 different psu's that I had lying around and got the same result. Psu whine with the cuda connected but not with the DM9+. The whines were of va...

I've stuck my fingers in a number of psu's while they were powered up and running a computer (too see how hot the heatsinks/coils were getting) and I never got shocked once. However, I've been shocked several times working on other projects and it really doesn't hurt. It just jiggles your arm a bit ...

I found them here but I'm not sure if they'll ship to the US. I was also looking for a TK power TKP300 fanless but couldn't find one:(

Alright, I removed the piece of cardboard that I was using to spread the weight of the drive and now my temp is about 46C, which seems acceptable for now. Anybody want to clue me in on where to find some nice heatsinks for my HD as the drive was quite hot to the touch (not burning, but not mild eit...

Thanks. Yes I'm going to try to fashion an aluminum box for my maxtor 80gb 8mb 7200. It runs so hot that rubber boxes are out of the question. It's an FDB one so I'm mainly trying to reduce the seek clatter. It has no whine whatsoever. Once it's in the aluminum box I'm going to do an elastic suspens...

Where do you get aluminum plates and/or large heatsinks?
I couldn't find anything like it in hardware stores. Just wondering if there is any place to order them from.
