the other thing you can try if you have the time is get an rma from shuttle and send it back i had sent a couple emails to support and they said that it shouldnt be making the noise and to get an rma and send it back and they would replace the chokes but i had modified my board at that point so i di...

i ordered mine from

http://www.quietpcusa.com/acb/showdetl. ... 20&CATID=5

but it looks like its on back order now

now that i am thinking about it i would have to say that the noise is at least as loud as a ball bearing hard drive, different pitch but just about as loud.

i never found a real cure for the problem besides buying another motherboard the closest i could get to quieting it was desoldering the chokes and coating them entirelly with the high temp silicon stuff and then obviouslly soldering them back on. but it never got rid of all the noise just made it a ...

I had the same problem with my MSI K7N2 Delta-L motherboard... However, the board will work just fine without the connector plugged in. i just noticed that my +12v as reported by my mn31n motherboard in bios setup is 9volts without the connector but the proper 12 with it what is the msi owners with...

oh apparantlly its not the same way on the shuttle mn31n i emailed them about it and they responded "We have never heard that kind of problem happen on our MN31N" any way mine wont stop crashing without the 12v atx cable first i thought that maybe the extra power from the connector helps with the in...

mine still does it even now that they are covered in high temp silicon sealant i first thought it was cause i didnt get both sides so i unsoldered them and got them all around but it still makes the noise

sweet, good idea jd, thanks for the tip. i am gona have to go buy some high temp silicon sealant, i allready have some but its 5 years old and i bet its all dried up by now

i agree with rusty075 especially on the punctuation part, also on the wattages on the different voltage lines as well.

yeah wumpus i am not sure what i was talking about but i was using my kill a watt and it is much better to know what your computer is using than guessing thats why i bought one in the first place

and crt's use more power with a white screen as opposed to black and if you make the brightness higher more power as well lcd's always use the same amount of power no matter what you are viewing unless they are off or standby. i have a samsung syncmaster 955df 19" crt it uses about 75 watts on a bla...

Considering the number of holes manufacturers keep cutting in PSU I don't think EMI is really that big a factor, especially once its enclosed inside another steel box. well your not shielding it from the outside your sheilding it against the other peripharels inside your computer case. to the main ...
