Measure away, but the specs should be correct since there is more room both behind the motherboard and for taller CPU coolers. An inch increassed witdh over the R3 seems just about right. R4 has 26mm behind the motherboard compared to 16mm in the R3. It also has 5mm more CPU cooling room (170mm vs ...

that's where i got the listed specs.. however, unless he read the tape measure incorrectly or misspoke, 222 would make more sense give the new additions.

Anyone have used the R4 yet? Just moved from Antec P180 to Titanium Grey R4. Love it so far. Fans are quiet. If you have any other questions, just ask. could you measure the actual width of the case if you get a chance? the youtube review states that it's 222mm which would make sense given the addi...

Yup, don't blame Samsung for giving the incorrect command to execute the program, blame the operator. Now that makes a lot of sense. Listen, I do not need your help, which thus far has been zero to me. Kindly stay away from "trying" to help me in the future. Thanks! I have no problem allowing you t...

Look clearly you aren't very technologically literate as we started off with you complaining that the tool "don't work with my OS", couldn't run a simple command line and yet here you are running the program. The utility works and I'm trying to find the cause of your issue. A common cause of this i...

hmm. how did you make your boot disk?

OK we're making progress. All the issues so far have been user error. HUTIL is the older version of ESTOOL so it shouldn't work with newer drives. If you want we can continue to try and solve your issues for WD or Samsung's programs.

You don't seem to understand. You are getting an error before you even try to run any program. The programs work fine. The whole point of booting to a DOS type environment is to bypass any OS. Again... it doesn't matter what OS you have on; 64 bit, 32 bit, 157869.343 bit. I'm running Windows 7 64bit...

Now we're getting somewhere. You didn't make a bootable floppy. That's why you aren't getting anywhere. You can: 1. make an older MS type boot disk (not the best but it will work - download one such as Windows 98 SE), put the utility on it, boot and run it from the prompt. http://www.bootdisk.com/bo...

Have you looked at the websites? Do you see where WD specifically states Vista 32-bit? Do you wonder why it says Vista 32-bit and not both 32 and 64-bit? As I said, I followed the instructions for installing via a floppy and it did not work. You are making assumptions and I tried to install as inst...

Have you tried to run it Vista Ultimate 64-bit? So you are saying even WD technical support that had me hold on while he checked and said it would not work is wrong. Now that is very interesting. Well, all I can say is I followed the instructions provided to install via a floppy and it did not work...

I think it is shameful that both Samsung and WD are so behind the times with their utilities. As of this writing, neither will support Windows 7 64-bit. Can't you figure out how to boot into DOS? Your complaint makes no sense to me. I will post this again: "Apparently the utility is not compatible ...

No, but Windows is the most popular OS being used. You miss the point, Hitachi can and does make a utility that works in Vista 64-bit using a floppy in what looks like DOS mode. Samsung and WD make utilities that do not work in my system. Point is, if Hitachi can do it, why can't Samsung or WD? I t...

The whole purpose of the utilities is to be able to have low level commands regardless of OS. It would be impossible to do this with an OS running in the background and foolish to do so. They provide one fully functioning utility that everyone can use. Just because you are a windows user doesn't mea...

These types of utilities aren't meant to run outside of pure DOS. I've used ESTOOL with my new F3 1.0, F2 1.5 and F1 750 and it works fine. Now that is amazing, the Hitachi utility works for Samsung but the Samsung utilities don't work for Samsung F3. :roll: That is interesting. Does it give you an ...

None of the Samsungs

My 750GB (HD753LJ from 10/2007) drive broke on friday :( I got Input/output errors from everything such as basic commands as cp and ls on linux. I ran HUTIL and got tons of Sector errors and the program recommended that I should return this drive. The drive is pretty quiet when suspended properly o...

If you have a nvidia motherbaord you might want to stay away from the Samsung. The Samsung is also quieter however if it's mainly going to be used for storage.. why not grab a WD GP 750 instead.. as it is both quiet and so far without major issues..

So they allowed you to return the Gigabyte and pick another card?

I meant the second one.. I'm just wondering if it's worth it to RMA mine to DirectCanada as it sounds pretty close to the problems of the second one you received.

Crabnebula, what did you do with the Gigabyte?

Mine was from DirectCanada as well (8600 GT Silent) and produces the high pitched whine during gaming also.

Yes, I have AAM set to 128. The drive temperature in use is stabilsing at about 48C now, which is higher than the Saumsung, but still acceptable. So far, the noise level is still agreeably low. Sorry for the bump. However, when you said it was louder than the Samsung were you referring to idle or s...

I need to make full stress load in order to make complete estimation but in my regular load I see around 2 to 3 degree's C lower temperatures. Did you ever compare these with a full load? I'm trying to decide between this cooler and the Ultra-120 for low rpm cooling (7v Scythe S-Flex E) on a Q6600 ...

Suprisingly, this drive runs cooler than the Seagate 7200.7 in my comp. right now its idling around 33 celcius vhx1 how does the idle noise of this drive compare with the Seagate 7200.7. Also just to be clear, it's the 250 gig version you have correct? As said in my previous post, i have the 300 gi...

I wouldn't get the Zalman ZM400B-APS though unless you're prepared to modify it. If it is anything like the FSP400-60PFN, it is INCREDIBLY LOUD!!!!! :evil: Why do you keep saying this to people for no reason at all??? The power supplies are NOT the same so stop throwing out worthless advice with no...

Anyone? MikeC?? I know the review is comin soon so a quick shout would be much appreciated.

Can anyone tell me if the B versions fans are still soldered directly to the board? If so, does anyone know where i can purchase a female 3pin adapter to make for easy switching (I guess I could just cut it off the included 4 fan adapter).


Thanks
