No the fans on the SilentBoost are clearly marked "M1A" if you peel back the TT label. I don't know what to believe :? According to this review the fan is FBL08A12L1A indeed. Sigh......... Well, you could believe the picture that's in the review you yourself linked. Note that the model number of th...

I just checked the Panasonic web site, and the FBL08A12L1A is rated at 21 dBA there, but I wonder if that is not a mistake, and maybe what confused TT. There is something different about the layout of the webpage of the 80mm FBA and FBL fans, and I think it is possible that Panasonic screwed up the...

I wonder if a Zalman heatpipe VGA cooler works properly in it as the display card is upside down Why would you do that, when you can use the VGA silencer "right side up" in this case and exhaust the heat at the same time! I admit that the VGA silencer works ideally with an upside down display card ...

Re: Quiet an 9600PRO Fan
Just connect the fan connector to those pins of the Fan Mate that correspond to the red and black wires of the Fan Mate.PhilC wrote:...how do you install the Fan Mate which is three pin and the stock fan header on the board/fan is 2 pin?Thanks,

Motherboards with CPU diode temperature monitoring
I really like the idea of listing undervoltable motherboards in the Recommended section but I would also like to see a list of motherboards with the option of monitoring the temperature of the CPU directly from it's diode. It's not always too easy to find out in the specs of a mobo if CPU diode moni...

Re: How hot is too hot for a video card
Hi, I got one of those temp monitors for my system. It had 2 sensors so I hooked one to the CPU and one to the heatsink on my Nvidia GEForce 4 MX 440 card. The CPU monitor varies all over the place depending on load. This makes sense. But the video card is pretty steady and warm It reads 125 to 135...

The store I bought my processor from is selling both palomino and thoroughbred XP 1700+ models so there was no risk involved of getting the wrong model. I don't know anything about the steppings. Anyway, the default voltage is 1.5V. Update: The processor is stepping A. I confirmed it from the order ...

Re: Something strange in thermal diode readings
I purchased a Soltek SL75DRV5 motherboard to be able to underclock my XP 1700+ processor to 1.1V and take processor temperature readings directly from the processor's thermal diode. Now I'm convinced, however, that the readings are not always correct. The prosessor has been unlocked and thus I was ...

I bought an XP 1700+ Thoroughbred yesterday. I haven't had much time to test it yet but that much I've found that at least it does work at 11.5 and 10.5 clock ratios (default 11.0) without any modding. So it seems it can be both over- and under-clocked. My mobo is Soltek SL-75DRV5 which is a KT333 m...

An addition to the above: Why try to use a heatsink passively because in practice the noise cannot be heard when a Panaflo is undervolted to 5 V? BTW, I also made the above test with the Panaflo at 5 V and got the temperature of 37 C! Quite a huge temp difference (29 C) with a minimal increase in th...

AMD I believe has a big advantage in the ability to run as low as 1.1vcore and unlock multiplier, thus a 1ghz chip becomes a passive cooling candidate with a good heatsink. -Ken I have Athlon an XP 1700+ Palomino and Thermalright SLK-800.

I took all the temps in the BIOS. I did not check the Vcore in every measurement but I've never seen anything abnormal in Vcore readings when looking it. The BIOS has always showed the voltage about 0.02V below the set value and MBM5 0.01-0.02V above. So far no-one here has suspected that the proces...

Again, according to my experience, SLK-800 is clearly better if you use a fan on it. Unlike in MikeC's test, my heatsink did not show such a drastic worsening when putting the Panaflo to 5V. In one experiment, running my processor at XP 1600+, the socket temp was 37C with the fan at 12V and 51C at 5...
