This thing looks sweet. If 12V speed is only 2200rpm it should be efficient? Any chance for a SPCR review?

I bet guys here at SPCR will use both inclued fan and one of their best fans (I believe that they WILL review it). Thing that I like about integrated fan is that it can be plugged onto motherboard so it would dinamically change its speed.
It also has 9 blades, so it might be a better fan than nexus.

Aris, using same fan in this case might be, well, next to impossible. Zalman CNPS9500 has integrated fan which can be replaced only with heavy modding of fan itself. When fan is that heavy modded can it be considered such review to be fair comparison? I think that using fan that comes with this heat...

Tuniq Tower new champion?

Check out this review at X-bit labs: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/display/tuniq-tower120.html It looks like that they found new champion in "cooler arena". They give only thermal performance results but since fan was rotating at only 1600RPM it is possible that this will be the best thin...

I've tried to relax timings (my first thought was to try that). I changed them from default for 400MHz 2.5 - 3 - 3 - 7 to 3 - 4 - 4 - 7, but system crashes immediately as C'n'Q underclocks/undervolts the CPU.

I'm not sure if that is so. I underclocked the CPU with Crystal CPUID by changing multiplier only (from 10x to 5x) - I didn't touch voltages, and system crashed as did when C'n'Q was enabled. Seems that disabling C'n'Q is only solution for now. I'll contact Asus support to ask them what is causing t...

Did you try to set the command rate on 2T? Although AMD claims it will work 4 DIMMS at 400Mhz is still a bit of gamble with the Athlon 64 :( Yes I have set command rate to 2T, its the default command rate for these modules. I tried once to use 1T command rate with only 2 modules but some programs c...

There is an interesting issue with C'n'Q and 4 DIMMs on my Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard (witl latest BIOS v.1013). I have Athlon 64 3200+ CPU (Venice core) and 4 Kingmax 512MB PC3200 (CL2.5) memory modules (all identical). - When I use 2 DIMMs, at 400MHz (MB default) C'n'Q works fine. - When I us...

Thanks for clearing that out.
It's nice to see this kind of feedback from computer hardware companies. :)

Another thing to watch for - the 24-pin ATX power cable just barely reached from my S12-500, but the 4-pin ATX power cable was short (this is to an A8N-SLI). Could be a problem with other motherboards as well. -Art Its too bad that it wont reach since I have same MB and planned to buy S12-600 and P...

Have anyone tried one of these PSUs with Antec P180 case?
It seems to me that ATX and P4 cables are too short :(
I planned to order S12-600 and P180 but I'm little concerned that cables won't be able to reach connectors on my Asus A8N SLI motherboard (especially the P4 connector)
