A troll? Me? I was just expressing my opinion based on what I believed to be true. If I'm wrong, so be it. Life goes on ... I misunderstood you, but I thought the other posts were clear enough :P Are you saying that having a rear case fan and intake fan would be detrimental to the temperature of th...

You are comparing to the tests done at Tom's and don't know under what conditions the tests were done. If you can't see that it's taking place on an open platform then you are not reading or you're a troll. EDIT: I assume you're talking about the other review sites, but since you haven't named them...

You should re-read his post. He never gave any temps of the card, just temps for his CPU and MB, which was higher than the CPU. Tom's gave temps of the CARD. But you acknowledged it! At idle, the 6600GT is running at 34C which is basically the case temperature (other idle readings I've got are CPU ...

The G450 doesn't have a temperature sensor - not that it needs it, it's hardly a power-consuming card (<15W). Finger-test or attach some kind of thermometer to the heatsink.

A seperate forum for us SR players was discussed a while ago but nothing came of it, so I created one on my webspace.

Registration is open right now but will be closed near the start of the next round (any intruders found will be placed under 'Vendetta' ). Guests can't view the discussion forum.

You could try Nero DriveSpeed too. I'm sure there was some useful info on the subject a few months ago...

lol omg, i swear u guys are gonna go deaf. It will never be quiet enough. Nah, as you quiet one thing down, other noises become more noticeable. Does anybody know how to quiet my heartbeat down? it's really starting to bug me. :wink: Attach a Ninja and undervolt yourself Wrong analogy, get a new pu...

I only very seldom have this problem. Yesterday I noticed when it occurs for me. If I open the SPCR homepage and then the forum index in another tab, before the "In Forums" sidebar of the home page has finished loading, then I am not logged in. I logged myself out too, by loading the forum index th...

The word you're looking for is 'sample'

Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express

In terms of die size,and other power usage factos,Winchester and Venice should be the same,as Venice mainly improved the memory handling and dis'nt otherwise change much of anything. Don't forget the SOI technology that 90um 4000+ chips possible. Power usage was improved a little but it allowed fas...

Of course they are dangerous. The Luxemborg will assimilate all cultures. Resistance is futile.

The point is that, since all speeds have the same rating, it must apply only for the fastest of the models (lower clock = less power). It's a moot point anyway because Athlon 64s hardly ever draw what their TDP says.

Search the forums for 'coil whine', there are a number of ways of finding which component is the problem and fixing it.

Can you work out where the noise is coming from? My one whines faintly (you have to be next to the PSU to hear) but there is no tapping sound.

They push a decent amount of air and the noise signature is fairly pleasant. You should be able to Google the code and find the fan's specs (RPM, CFM etc).

This is 'pick an interesting looking album from Dad's collection' month. Today's choice:

The B-52's - Planet Claire

Now what program can i use to reduce the speed of my sistem fans? :?: According to the Asus webpage your mobo comes with Q-fan. Alternatively check out: SpeedFan . Of course, the fans need to be plugged into the motherboard for that to work - chassis fans often have molex (HDD power) connectors. If...

Do a search for radeon AND 8500 to see if anyone has a solution for the graphics card - Arctic Cooling doesn't list the 8500 on their website. If your card doesn't have mounting holes you could have problems... or need a 'creative' solution. ;) Have you tried downloading ATITool for fan control/temp...

You can't use Cool 'n' Quiet with manual settings, but that's no problem; use the CrystalCPUID program instead. That sets the clock speed and voltage to be used at different levels of CPU usage. Download Prime95 to stress-test, raise the voltage one step on an error. There should be a FAQ on this so...

hey what do you know, thermaltake copied the ninja! i was wondering how long it would take them. Didn't you know? Thermaltake have a time machine in addition to dodgy SPL meters. They copied the Nexus fan's orange colour too. </sarcasm> The Sonic Tower is OK, though much better with a slow, silent ...

You guys are fast. :) In terms of games... I wouldn't say I'm a hardcore gamer, but something that will give me decent performance on games like Battlefield 2, Call of Duty 2, etc. from time to time. Avoid the tiny fans on graphics cards like the plague. Check this thread of recommended graphics ca...

I wonder what the maximum theoretical efficiency of a PC power supply is? 99%? Theoretical, sure, but under what conditions? I remember a power supply mfr. saying that if only one voltage was required then efficiency could easily increase (in one of MikeC's posts?). Probably they could spend more o...

That's a Windows utility, useless unless you have wine installed. There is a simple equation... Power = (Voltage ^ 2) * Clock * k k is unique for every processor, so you will need to know the power draw of your processor for a given voltage and speed. One note: the TDPs for AMD processors aren't rep...

burcakb's revelation was a nice twist Myself, I'm going to have 3 starbases in 40 months, the first time I've ever built them! It would be a shame if they didn't get tested out, but I don't exactly want people to know what I'm up to either...

Sorry to hear about your relative
The work directory contains the current unit's data, it should be as simple as deleting it.

The real question is: why only 10mm more? It won't be much different to 120mm (or so I'd expect); 140mm would've been more worthwhile, unless their cases have mounting holes for 130. Apparently these have 130 mm fan radius while still fitting standard 120 mm holes. Hence the unconventional frame, w...
