Re: Wanted: Scythe Ninja Mini

Just missed it! :evil: :evil:

It would have been just fine too, because my HTPC is an AMD A10.

Re: Girlfriend's New Silent PC

You are supposed to put those plastic clips that came with the cooler on it so it will not curve. From SPCR's review: "Arctic Cooling's instructions dictate that the two screws nearest the gold contacts of the card should be partially installed, then the opposite end of the card be lifted up to ins...

Graphics cooler saggy?
Were you able to unlock the two cores? :wink:

Nope that's how the cooler is designed, for whatever reason. It curves downward.

And nope, the CPU didn't unlock :(.

Re: Girlfriend's New Silent PC

I have the same mainboard and looking into buying the same CPU cooler. Was the horizontal orientation your choice or is it the only way it can be installed? You can install it either way :) The temps came out pretty good like this though: http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q269/damutation/J-Silent-...

Re: Girlfriend's New Silent PC

Good looking build ! What OS do you have installed and how much space is left on the SSD ? I'm guessing you have some network storage device somewhere ? Thanks :) Windows 7, and there's about 12 gigs free IIRC. I dropped the pagefile down to 256MB and disabled hibernation :) And yup, my server is r...

Girlfriend's New Silent PC

I've had it up to here with my girlfriend's computer (/points at forehead :p). Her last setup had tons of buggy drivers, a motherboard that didn't like to work with certain hardware, and very noisy hard drives and fans. So I took it upon myself to build her a new computer - the noise is bad enough, ...

Half-height CPU cooler needed

I finally got fed up of the noise of my HTPC's fan, and want to replace it. Right now it's a Xigmatek EP-CD901 (the top-down radial one), and while it was fine for the budget I was on I can't take it anymore! Clearance in the case is approximately 67mm - the Xigmatek is 57mm tall, and it looks like ...
