Congrats on the win - I just got my copy in the mail yesterday and knew I had seen it before

Built to Spill - Keep It Like a Secret

(saw them live on the 15th - awesome)

I care not for bearing type "Green casing providing a pure and fresh feeling"

that's good enough for me

Swingin' Utters - Juvenile Product of the Working Class

I had a similar problem recently. It ended up being the PSU.

To test the switch, try using the reset switch instead of the power one (just swap the connection on the MB header)

Considering that the non-PRO and numerous other boards with the same chipset run passive (including my Asus) - I'd give it a try. The heatsink looks decent sized in the pictures. Some additional info might help. What case, other temps, etc. If having the side off makes a big difference, you migh wan...

Yeah speed kills

Funny that none of the pics of that board I see have a actively cooled NB - I'd just unplug it, see what happens. If you're concerned that you're not getting enough cooling for the chipset, get a Zalman chipset cooler for it.

Welcome!

If you're using the graphical client - right click Configure->Advanced->CPU Usage Percent (should be 100%)

You should have given us a shout out Mike - I'd have bought you a drink!

Here's the thread that is the actual source of that picture

Good luck - I'm about to try something similar on mine

IMHO, no. I strongly doubt that your computer ever draws more than 150W even under full load, so that is well within the capabilities of the S12-330. My feeling as well - I'm not running SLI cards or multiple hard drives, just the basics. Pity that zipzoomfly is out of out stock on it - they do hav...

Never used the Sonata PSU - it was always too loud for my tastes :-) I'm was/and am now using a Fortron FSP300-60PN Nice work on your rig - thanks for the input So - if one had to choose between a Zalman ZM80D-HP and the AeroCool VM-101 (the Zalman is $2 more) which is the winner? As far as the PSU ...

Again thanks - new PSU - everything cleaned when installed.

Anyone actually want to comment on the wisdow of buying vs modding?

I have a Seasonic S-12 and a Zalman VF700 sitting in a cart waiting to buy them...

Rig is in the sig... Thanks for the suggestions - I don't think repositioning is the answer, it fairly howls to my sensitive hearing. I used to have it under the desk,here were two problems with that. One, 19 month old baby gets into everything. Two, hairy dog tended to lie next to it, gumming up ev...

Ugh! My rig was pretty quiet - not silent, but good enough. You may remeber my recent PSU woes (wouldn't repond to switch), I had another Fortron lying around, I bought it last time I upgraded, as I thought the fan was going in the old one (it was just really dirty). As Neil Blanchard pointed out in...

It's a standard 25mm think fan though - what problems would you see in swapping the fans?

Though what advantage this HS has over the Ninja I'm not sure...

Still holding on with my socket A - waiting to see what shakes out in this years socket revisions before contemplating an upgrade

Just wanted to add - hoping to get my production up a bit - my work machine was having problems with the GUI client (the atioglxx.dll error) and had thus not been contributing for a while. I just got the console version up and running.

Just noticing - I've topped 80,000 points, but am now #100 on the team. I think I was up as high as the mid-forties at one time. As much as I hate to fall off the front page, I'm glad to see the team has grown!

Fold on you crazy diamonds!

Or that submitted a WU that had a lower point total than yours - point credit varies by protein

Welcome to team SPCR - your contribution is appreciated!

A warm welcome for Smokey McPot who contributed his first couple of (we hope many more) WU's

Fold on you crazy diamond!

What happened to you man - you used to be cool...

Then your folding died:

bcassell
Cosine
shens
powergyoza
Wrah
Choy
Mynci
and many more who haven't been active inthe last 6 months or so

Not yet - keeping my fingers crossed

I'm all in favor - and I copied Neil and added it to my location

beep...beep

I quietly passed 50,000 points

Yeah - Dutch Power Cows seems to have had a huge number of new members - where as our group has remained pretty constant (only 4 new folks in the last week)

Welcome to the new folks (Aleksi, Joker_Joe, Mikko_Koli, and Cams) - if you're not actively folding - JOIN US!

Thanks for the reminder - think it's about time for me to clean out mine

Should have remebered my own tip

The oft asked question (wasn't there a thread about a week ago?)

I have one in a Sonata on a A7N8X-E Dlx - close, but it does fit.
