My mobo won't let me boot without the Arctic Cooling Copper Silent 2 attached to the CPU. If I replace it with a Thermaltake Sonic Tower and plug a Nexus 120mm casefan to the CPUFAN-plug on the mobo it won't boot.

How do I solve this?

MB: ECS KT600-A

Case: P150 PSU: Included NEO HE 430 (SN: S05100035571) MB: ECS KT600-A which has a pin in the -5V spot. CPU: AthlonXP 2600+ Other units: 1 CD-writer, 1 HDD, 1 Fancontroller. Everything attached to sockets 3 and 4 on the PSU (which if I am not mistaking should be 2:nd 12V rail?). Doesn't boot up at a...

I want to keep the Sonic Tower. This is how i finally installed it: I took the "clip"-mechanism that was attached to the Arctic Cooling Silent Copper 2 whic had previously cooled the CPU and with some modifications got it to fit the Sonic Tower. However its not stable at all. It will do for now, but...

Or have I missed something? If it isn't a mistake by me I think it's really stupid of Thermaltak to not pu...

IMHO, and I've said this before, you lose the noise benefit of fanless cpu cooling if you have fans at all in your case. Might as well have a very quiet undervolted one on the cpu heatsink and drop the temps by 15c or more. -Ken Everywhere I ask they seem to agree that I should atleast have one fan...

Hey I have an idea, an idea I always recommend: NO VIDEO CARD. remote into it, try a version of Linux that you can do that with, then you lose 20 watts of heat in the case. Just a thought. Every little bit helps a WHOLE lot I noticed in a 24/7 case. Either heat is being lost or heat is being built ...

I have a ECS KT600-a motherboard with Athlon XP (Socket A) 2600+. Right now the system has a fan-cooled PSU and an Arctic Cooling Silent Copper 2 CPU-cooler. This gives me around 40-45 degrees Celsius CPU-temperature at normal usage. The graphic card is a Geforce3 Ti200 with passive Zalman cooling. ...
