What sort of temps are other people getting with this board? I've just put together a build inside a Super Case MI-008 , with the psu removed and replaced with a picopsu. The only other items in the case are an SSD and DVD drive. With the cpu fan going at full blast, and both cores at 100% using pri...

One Canadian site is listing it for sale now, backordered, for $180cad.

Come on newegg!

This site has some photos of the card. I can't wait until there's a review, hopefully from spcr!

Anandtech review:
Enermax Gold: Modu87+ and Pro87+

My antec 3700 has a 120mm panaflo in back and 120mm pabst in front, both running 5v. I've got a 400w super silencer psu modded with a panaflo. On my asus p4c 800-e deluxe motherboard, the case temp is reading at 33c (room temp about 25c/77f) while doing some web browsing. The cpu is at 38c. The high...

I replaced the fan in my SS400 with a panaflo L1A. I'm satisfied with the sound, but I can't recommend it though because the fan only spins up about 50% of the time when I start my computer. The other times it rocks back and forth like it's trying, and i have to slip in a pencil and give it a kickst...

I have the 160gb spinpoint. When I had it mounted in the lower drive cage in my antec slk3700, it was incredibly loud. Seeks were easily audible from over 20' away, the whole case vibrated so much that it hummed slightly, and while using my mouse I could feel vibration in the table the case was sitt...

I've also been disappointed with my ss400. I've had my new system up almost two weeks, and it wasnt' until I got a heatpipe on my video card and finally got my HD quieted down a couple days ago, that I realized the psu fan was making a faint noise, almost like crickets chirping in the distance. Now ...

I had the exact same problem with vibration in my antec slk3700, which I traced to the lower drive cage. Even when the drive, a samsung 160gb sata, was idling, the whole case vibrated so much that it was humming. I could press down on the top of the case and the tone of the hum would change, but not...

My experience has been somewhat different. I just put my system together last weekend, and I have the Samsung 160 SATA drive in the lower drive cage in an Antec SLK3700. The drive itself is very quiet when idle, but seeks are very loud, as if amplified by the metal case. I could easily hear it from ...

I ended up ordering one from harddrive.com last thursday. ($138+$10ship) It was shipped on Friday, and arrived Tuesday. They seem to use a drop shipper too. I haven't had time to put my new system together yet, so I can only hope that it actually works!

If I hadn't ordered one thursday morning before your original post, I would have been interested. I ordered one from harddrive.com. It cost $138 + $10 shipping. As of friday evening, the order status was 'shipping completed', so hopefully it will arrive monday or tuesday.

For those of you who have mounted your own fans in stainless steel cases like the antec 3700, what kind of drill bit did you use to make the holes for the fan isolators/screws? Is there a dremel bit that would handle the job, or would they wear out too quickly?

What sort of bit did you use to drill holes through the stainless steel?

Thanks for the heads up. Computerhq.com doesn't seem to have it any more, if they ever really did. The day after it showed as available, the quantity in stock went down just one from 100 to 99, while the popularity went from 2 stars to 4. The next day they didn't didn't show a quantity, but had a nu...

The 160GB Samsung SATA drive (sp1614c) finally seems to be appearing in the US. 8) http://www.computerhq.com/hardware/partinfo-id-63242.html Computerhq.com does not have a stellar reseller rating, and the price is steep: $152 + shipping. But 100 drives just appeared in their inventory as of today. O...

I've seen the same google attrition for the version 'C' drives. I check for the 80GB SATA model every day, and a month ago google used to give 28 hits on the model number, then it went to 27, and 25, and 23, then to 21, now it's at 20. You'd think an upcoming model would have an increasing number of...

I've been looking (also fruitlessly) for the SATA version of the 80GB model (SP0802C), but since *none* of the SATAs have appeared on the market (not even the 120's or 160's), I'm willing to get the SP0812N, but I haven't been able to find it either. It's quite frustrating that Samsung sends these t...

I've been waiting (somewhat) patiently for Samsung to release their SATA drives, but they remain just a tantalizing illusion in the US. Specifically I want the 80GB model (for the single platter) SP0802C. But my patience is wearing out (the drive is the only thing holding up my construction of a new...

What size are your spinpoint drives? I'm wondering if one or two platters makes a difference.

From how far away can you hear the whine?

I'm on the hunt for an 80GB SATA version of the samsung in the US. The PATA versions are finally showing up, I hope it won't be much longer for the SATAs to appear. I've got my antec 3700 case, which I'm in the process of modding for quietness, now I just need this hard drive to become available so ...

Where can I find the specs for the Super Silencer PSUs? Manufacturer website doesn't even says that they make them (no such model numbers)! If the efficiency of 400W model is 78%, I am interested, what efficiency has the 300W model? If you missed it, check out MikeC's review of the Super Silencer 4...

How was the packaging of the item? And have you had a chance to install and test it yet? The unit itself was in its retail shrink-wrapped packaging, which was then put in a box with styrafoam peanuts. It seemed well cushioned. I opened the retail package and inspected everything, which all looked f...

After Mike's review of the seasonic "super silencer" 400, I was looking for the units to become available in the US, intending to get a 300W unit. Last saturday I found 400W units available at 2 places, one of which had them for about $99, while the second, mbsuperstore.com, was selling it for $63! ...

When you get one, let us know how the sound is. I'm thinking of getting one soon too.

The diamondmax SATA includes both a standard molex and a SATA power connector, so no need for an adapter.

I emailed Antec and tried to find out if there was an updated version of the slk3700amb in the works. After a couple of days, I got a response, but it wasn't too helpful: Actually, we have a number of products in the works at the moment. I am not aware of all of the details on any of the up and comi...

... and the Antec SLK3700AMB (which I think I heard will soon be revised and re-released; does anyone have any info on this?). I'd sure like to know too, because I'm about to buy one, and I have this sinking feeling that as soon as I do, they'll release a new version that would save me all the trou...
