I should have added, although they're labeled for sockets 775 & 1366, these work with practically everything in between. The push-pins slide in/out in little grooves, so you can adjust to your mounting holes.
I'm using one on a LGA 1155 motherboard (Intel DH77EB).

In my case, this will be tested in a variety of recessed cans around my house before finding a permanent home in a stairwell, where it is replacing a horrible CFL flood (the warm-up time kills it - I'm usually up/down the stairs before the damn thing has reached full brightness).

Re: troubleshooting black screens & boot failure
So I got the SSD to boot into Windows normally. Took a system image using Windows built-in backup & restore. Scanned through the event logs - no errors other than "unexpected shutdown" (no kidding!). Installed current Speedfan and ran the SMART long test. It found nothing wrong with the SSD; all SMA...

I don't have any critical data on the SSD. I'll image it just to make restoring to a new SSD more convenient (if that's my path forward). All my data is on the mechanical HDD or duplicated elsewhere.

Re: Zotac GTX 970 AMP! Extreme Core Noise Review
For me, this is the money shot: By default, the fans try to maintain a GPU temperature of 63~64°C which is a fairly aggressive goal in my opinion. Overriding the fan, I found that the minimum speed (which is a bit higher than at idle) is more than acceptable, even with this most taxing test. The GPU...

Hi Lawrence,
Zotac may call it an update, but based on your firmware update screenshot it looks like a downgrade.

Is the replacement officially from Zotac or is it older rev (84.04.36.00.00) modded by some 3rd-party?The firmware update screenshot wrote: Current - Version:84.04.36.00.11

My desktop boot drive is a LiteOn LMT-256M6M mSATA drive. Technically, it's a HP rebrand of Lite-On's LMT-256M6M. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820326392 It's HP P/N: 738975-001. It was a steal when I bought it a year ago.

Curious: did you attempt air cooling the GPU? The review reads as if you just went straight for the Accelero hybrid cooler. We understand that 1) Blower-type GPU coolers exhaust outside the case, but are often too noisy (for SPCR) or inefficient compared to open multi-fan coolers. 2) Open multi-fan ...

Re: Zotac Zbox BI320 ... it's pretty nice!
That 5K320 is one of the quietest (top three? Top five?) HDDs of all time, though it's really slow (nowadays). It originally came in a budget Acer laptop that rec'd a SSD upgrade a while ago (an old OCZ Agility 2). The laptop's CPU fan behavior is completely annoying. It cycles between off and (wha...

Re: To cut or not to cut (giant holes in the bottom of my ca
I have a bazillion Yate Loon 120mm fans. It would be easy to enlarge my front intake. Maybe I'll try that first.
I wish I could "demo" a GTX 960. It's supposedly an upgrade to the GTX 760 and rivals the GTX 770. I basically only play borderlands 2 these days, so maybe I don't need a 970...

Re: To cut or not to cut (giant holes in the bottom of my ca
I think holes in the bottom of the NSK3480 destroys it. It maybe needs some modifications on the inside, like holes for better cable management, and a bigger fan in the front. But nothing that destroys the aesthetics imo. NSK3480, DH77EB and a Ninja.. Damn, that is beautiful. :) I don't think holes...
