Re: Fractal Design Define R4 launches
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 ...

Re: Fractal Design Define R4 launches
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.CA_Steve wrote:Or, you could get the info from their website: Case dimensions (WxHxD): 232 x 464 x 523mm

Re: Fractal Design Define R4 launches
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...

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.

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 ...

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...

Zalman 300B/400B fan mod
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
Thanks
