considering engelking was the only atx compatible fanless (semi) ive ever seen, they better have something good!

did ya ever try opening it up and seeing if the heatsinks were applied using thermal paste?

siliconacoustics had these psus in stock for awhile, and now theyve seemed to have disappeared. what happened?

i dont see why its illegal to sell them after the retail product is out already

i got it from some guy who sold other engineering samples off of ebay. its special because the markings are different than regular ES', which i find extremely odd.

why is it illegal?

ive posted it in the hardforums, but i didnt get a ton of info on it. i would like to know why the markings are weird... you can check out reviews of the tualatin and see that those samples have the 'standard' markings. i dont have it in a mobo yet, but as soon as i get some $$$

the englekings have a fan but its turned off unless the psu gets to 45 celcius. im eagarly waiting for SA to get them in stock. tom's hardware recently did a review and said it was good for the most part

hmm well of course its a prototype, its an ES

finally got myself to take a pic. ive been busy lately with school. anyways, it has some weird markings, unlike any i have seen before. hell, it doesnt even have "ES" on it. any more info on this? even current p4s have "intel confidential" on it at least. http://home.attbi.com/~richard_din/tualatin1...

unfortunately, you cant find those anywhere besides europe. i sure as hell would like to get my hands on the last one you posted...

fugu from [H]?

i still havent gotten a reply from thermalright on the surface of the slk800, though. anybody know this?

thanks, ill go with the zalman. its too bad that they dont make the 6500cu for the s370 platform

i found an auction on ebay last week at night. it was for a p3 tualatin 1.4ghz unlocked, 10.5mult max. i think intel made the engineering samples such that they cant be run at a higher multiplier than the retail version of it. at the time, it was going for 120$. at school the next day, i decided to ...

it is possible to run it without a fan. a friend of mine from the hardforums ran his 1.13ghz tualatin p3 on an slk800, at 45c full load. not too bad. i think the swiftecs would perform badly for passive cooling; the pins are thick, and fins are preferred in passive cooling. ima email thermalright an...

what is the best heatsink (s370) for operation without a fan? i have been seeing zalman, swiftec, and thermal right heatsinks around in these forums a lot. however, i have not seen any posts that claim the best heatsink for fanless operation. as you may know, the best hs running with a fan will not ...
