seagate cuda V 120gb 8mb vs 7200.7 200gb - my experience
I replaced my cuda V 120gb with a 200gb (both ata) yesterday here's my thoughts: idle noise - 200gb has *slightly* less (I put my ear to both with the case open, can't tell with the case closed) seek noise - 200gb has more, which was suprising since I had turned AAM off on my 120gb (expected the noi...

To be quite frank I fail to understand how a 5 year warranty on a hard-drive is in any way useful. Five years ago I owned a 4GB hard-drive. If I owned it today and it failed... would I want a replacement? Not really. I might be more interested in retrieving the data. Do they warrantyiseificate for ...

I don't understand how you can increase the FSB on a processor without making it super unreliable. My Thoroughbred 2400+ crashes before it gets off the ground if I try to do that. No way would I try to overclock the FSB. I have read now also that the Thoroughbred 2700+ benchmarks with almost exactl...

if you read my message again I said "the onboard audio also makes wierd noises " ;) ;) I tried all the suggested fixes and none worked.. so both are disabled now My onboard audio doesn't have any problems (that's a known problem with the A7N8X - you need the latest BIOS), and the other places I chec...

I'm very sure that its a driver issue caused by the fact that I just slapped the new motherboard in without reinstalling Windows. I did that when I got my nf2 board... windows runs MUCH MUCH MUCH better from a fresh install.. :) I used to get all kinds of wierd crashes and problems before that ( I ...

yeah, i have this problem, the onboard audio also makes wierd noises thru the speakers when it's not being used..
my solution: disable both..
www.nforcershq.com has a lot more people with the same problems.

I didn't mean to imply that ALL nforce 2 boards do, just that MOST of them run off the 12v line. The Asus is an exception in most things, it's also one of the few NF2 boards that uses 2 phase voltage regulation, even the lowly $50 Shuttle A35N uses 3 phase. The MSI pictured above DOES run off the 1...

Yep, that's the 12v connector (two 12v lines actually). NF2 boards run the CPU off the 12v line, whether you use the connector or not, though I'm not sure if they can get enough juice from the ATX connector. They might run w/o the connector but they may not be stable (as you've experienced). Runnin...

Do you overclock? if so, i dont think you will benefit noise wise from using a Zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu , cause you likely wont be able to undervolt the fan to 5v, which is really the only setting that could be considered quiet. the zalman 7000A-ALCU is great even for overclocked systems.. I use one a...

I've got an asus A7N8X-X with XP1700+ overclocked to ~XP2800+ speeds (2.2ghz) I use a 7000A-ALCU and it cools better at the lowest setting (5v) and 2.2ghz then the amd stock heatsink fan did at full speed and at the stock speed I'm very happy with it... just make sure there is some space between the...
