Hi, I would like to ask about Lian li HDD PC-F9 HDD mounts. All 6 bays will be populated. In review using same mounts silentpcreview said they were worse, but it was also said that lian li uses silicon washers now. Somehow I can't find similar other case reviews ? I need a case for my mini-itx serve...

PCI-X 66 MHz/64-bit is 533 MB a sec, not 266. That promise card is only 266 MB/sec as it is a 66 MHz/32 bit card. There is no single mechanical HD that can come close to 266MB/sec anyway. Running 4 off one card might cause a bit of speed drop, but not much. So I need to look for 66 MHz/64-bit card ...

i just want to ask you something before you spend any more money on this motherboard... what ram do you have? I have 8GB ECC Registered CL3 RAM, and 2 PCU's 3.8Ghz 2MB L2 cache, so it's a decent PC. But I beginning to think I need PCI Express x8 card as bus speed is 2GB one way, that 4GB both ways....

Hi, I have the ASUS NCT-D motherboard. Unfortunately the one without 4 SATA RAID ports. I have just 2 SATA PORTS ! I would like to ask for controller suggestions depending on hardware I would like to use: I would like to connect: 1. To controller board: 2x WD Raptor 150GB 10.000 Rpm in Stripe mode t...

I have ordered the Seasonic X-760 760W 80 Plus Gold. Should get it in few days. I Will post back how it goes.

I wonder why seasonic placed capacitors so near the heatsink?




Wouldn't this be a bad idea and shorten the caps life?

I have my trusty Zalman 600-HP PSU and it started to whine after 6 months, that electric whine is everywhere even 5 meters from computer I can hear it. Got this psu since one year i have swaped the fan and control it with a rheobus, totally silent now.You might try that. The Zalman PSU was fixed ht...

Hi, I had this PSU for about 1 year not used much, but nonetheless it started to have this high pitch whine noise from PSU even when PC of off. I decided to post how I fixed the problem. 1. Coat all coils with enamel lacquer (also called nitro lacquer) Tip. You put some small magnet on a wood stick ...

TP750 is the quietest PSU I've ever had, compared to: Does the fan on TP750 start on cold PSU or like Corsair / Seasonic on 20% load etc.? One thing I hate about TP750 if you look inside the coils have no shrink tubing on them, that means they could whine after some usage like 6 months, a year etc....

I'm glad to hear that your TP750 has no coil whine and is quiet. Apparently another guy here had bad luck cause 2 units in a row show coil whine. http://forums.hexus.net/antec-care-hexus/199273-antec-true-power-650-whine.html http://www.overclock.net/power-supplies/885072-new-antec-tpn-650-some-coil...

What everyone fails to notice is that all of my mentioned PSU units except Corsair AX750 contain large number (5-6 coils come on :roll: ) inductor coils, hand wound I think. There inductors can vibrate and create the electric whine noise. The less are those in PSU design the better. I have my trusty...

Hi, I've got a NCT-D motherboard based PC with 4GB ECC registered Kingston DDR2 RAM. I would like to upgrade to 8GB memory and WIN XP 64bit to be able to use it :) Now I think I don't actually need ECC memory, but I'm having hard time finding what memory would work best. I think Kingston HyperX KHX8...

Well if it is around 36 degrees celsius than it's fine :) I think it should be not hooter if you use 2d applications, word, excel, IE etc. I now (and over 2yers now) use Geforce 3 TDH from leadtek it has 64mb ram and a huge heatsink that poorly cools the card. There was times when it worked fine but...

Hi, I'm looking for a fanless video card and can't find temperature at idle (Windwos desktop) on R9550 and 9600 models?
