The bigger version has a 140mm fan, and not 120mm.

Review for TX750W.

Every 500W PSU based on Enhance 80+ would be fine either.
And let me tell you that even just one 8800 nVidia would be struggled by only the E6600 not even overclocked. If you plan doing SLi based on 8800 then you should keep one eye on C2Q, other way you'll just waste a lots of graphic power.

Probably Seasonic has a contract over here at SPCR because everyone recommends it. But, if don't want or you can't find it, there ar other fine choices like SilverStone Elemnt PLUS, FSP BlueStorm2 or Enhance PLUS, Akasa 80+, Antec NeoHE and probably many others. My rig is even power hungry than your...

Some over here know my disappointments about this PSU in terms of noise. I got today my PSU and tested it next to another new one. Both had that whine sound with no load un 5v and both fans where spining as fast (or at last my eyes seen that) and the same amount of fan sound. I got back home and tol...

Try to install back your NeoHE just for testing and see if your headaches apear or not.

It's possible to have a buzzing coil that you can't notice but it stresses you.

Not done any research on this recently, but yes hozer2k your right. Its to do with the resonant frequency in the coil winding that can vibrate when a harmonic is found in the circuit and is dependent on the number of winds in the coil etc... It can be cured by placing a smoothing capacitor in the c...

They are almost the same. Actually, they use the same electronics.

We can't tell you nothing for sure until you post the specs of the PC you've tested. We don't even know for sure what PSU you owned.

I think it's a transistor. It has 3 pins and it needs to be cooled. It has also a hole that looks like the back plate made of metal.

Elemnt Plus is higher eficiency than S12. There is probably something wrong with the fan or just the model (Elemnt use HighSpeed and S12 LowSpeed ADDA).

It's very interesting to see how the most controllers works in the PSUs. They speed-up voltage gradually until the heat inside is ok or there is a sort of table that tels what voltage to use for the given temperature (this method to control the fan speed won't work fine for fanswap if the fans have ...

I've just swaped my NeoHE 430W with de Silverstone Element-Plus and, there is a big disappointment. It's louder than the NeoHE, now I can really hear my computer louder. The fan seems to spin to fast. I'll try to test if my system really needs all that power in overclocked mode or not and the NeoHE ...

Any kind of protections have lag (there is an amount of time between the start of the abnormal voltage/current and the moment when the protection reacts in any way). Fusses are used for high current passing wires. For example, they are used for AC wires in houses. The main principle is the heating e...

Is there any C&Q activated?

You will never get a computer to POST with no RAM inside. The BEEP it's an error mesage that the computer could not POST.

You are rong about the quality of the parts and the fan speed.

Escuze my off-topic, Antec Trio is based on wich Seasonic?

After 3 weeks, the NeoHE failed again. Both 0603 A3.1. The first one, never worked (no video signal at all but the fans were moving fine). After I received the second one everything went fine until today. I pushed the power button and nothing. Looked inside my case and the LED on the mobo had no lig...

Trio has the same ADDA fan as in the other Seasonics. The only thing could go wrong here could be the fan regulator.

It depends on the controller and how it works. There ar two major types: - starts at full speed (12v or the maximum voltage on the line, ie 5v) and then decrease the voltage until it reaches a balance between voltage and temperature. When temps ar going high, it pumps more voltage until the maximum....

Don't know for sure, but Ninja can cool pssively your C2D just fine.
As tested on many sites, Tuniq Tower could do better but is very hard to get one in most countries.

E4x00 are also C2D but they use 200Mhz PSB. They will be released in Q1 2007.

Scythe Ninja will do fine if you can get that beast inside of the case.

Burebista - I plan on upgrading my video within a year - rumor has it that the next gen cards require a great deal more power and I have 3 hard drives along with two optical. I'm not sure how much it matters but I'd like to play it safe. No, they can't keep in that direction forever. They must use ...

Very nice, but who is supposed to cool the peltier unit?

gevorg wrote:Any ideas if low level Conroes could be cooled fanlessly?

Yes, it is!

There was no case. The motherboard and all the stuff was on the table wich means no other airflow than just the natural airflow. So in a well designed case with just ~30CFM, the temperatures will get lower. I hope I'll get more infos about passive cooling of this CPU because I hope all of them (Conr...

Hello there! I think I have some great news for those who want power and silence at the same time, especially for those who overclock in silence. I've checked a romanian forum where one of the special member out there had tested one Conroe for overclocking with a fanless solution. The great news is ...
