Great great advice.... thank you thank you! If I can get away with the same key for both OS's thats def what I'm going to do. Can I get away with this method with one ssd and one Hdd ? Or maybe two smaller ssd's for the os's and softwares for each primary tasks and then one HDD for data storage part...

Yeah I've read to run two OS's for each task at hand. One for recording studio and one for designing... but what about gaming? and use a totally separate HD for all file storage. What the file storage HD work with both OS's? A bit confusing and I dont want to buy another win7x64 pro key.

I am using this computer for multiple things that normally people only have one computer for and I am somewhat convinced partitioning will help me but I need help. Or maybe just separate hard drives. This computer will be used for: - a small home recording studio. (business) - graphic design & multi...

cmon ppl i am all for silent computing but if you are bothered by keyboard noise !!! then you should a) seek help b) cut of you ears... I realize this is an old thread but I want to respond. I need a quiet keyboard because I end up working alot while others are sleeping and my workstation is in a c...

No one at all? Whatsup?!

Well first of all I believe we can ask God questions and get answers but sometimes not how we want etc etc.... but going with the theme. I would ask him why he created Man and Woman knowing they would sin and fall away from his Holiness and knowing that some people would not repent and turn from the...

Should I partition it and how? I've seen some people have like 10-15 different partitions for things which say the reason is for defragment purposes of certain drives and incase one fails others will still be in tact? For instance. On one computer I do recording audio, bands, rappers, etc, mixing, e...

Ok got the Accelero Sp Rev 2 installed. A bit tricky for my card had to mod some of the voltage regulator heatsinks. No biggie. Just installed RivaTuner and I'm running right now at 43C. My pc is officially almost silent! Cant hear anything but a slight slight slight slight wind sound which Im guess...

I haven't used Noctua but I have 2 120mm Scythe fans and I love them! Not sure if these are considered low RPM but they dont click and I cant even hear em. One is the Scythe 120mm "Slipstream" Bearing Type Sleeve RPM 800 RPM Air Flow 40.17CFM Noise Level 10.70 dBA And the other is Scythe S-FLEX 120m...

I don't think I would ever use a Zalman CPU Cooler again. The first one didn't work out too well for me and like others said, there's just better products out there for less money.

I cant seem to find a moderator list but Im trying to change my name. Reason being I joined with this generic name not thinking I would be returning so often. Well I'd like a more unique name. Whatsup mods and admins can I change my name? Who should I PM? Its really quite easy and takes like 1 minut...

OHHHH i ABSOLUTELY HATE THAT! hate hate hate hearing a ticking clock when im trying to sleep. I have to take batteries out of them if they exist. I'm like Captain Hook from the first Peter Pan with clocks.

Just a note: I have my GPU fan on a zalman fanmate. When I game, I manually crank it up to 2500RPM to get some real air blowing over the thing. When I'm done gaming, I often forget to bring the RPM back down to earth, so Ill be sitting there and about 10 min later think to myself..wtf is taht noise...

Nooooope! Cause Im dope. Are you dope? I have a very quiet pc because of these forums... thats why I'm dope. YEeeeeHAW!

No, I remove the duct and seal the holes in the side pannel Is how I voted, cause that's how all the big boys do it my mom told me. But seriously, I had CPU duct holes and more regular air flow holes underneath. I covered them both with some dark gray anti-static film and then put thermaltake sound ...

Thats a good build meato! Be careful with the ripjaws ram if your going to use an aftermarket CPU cooler/fan because of possible clearance issues. I would go with a different case fan 18dBA is still just too loud for me. The 120mm scythe's I got are 8dBA and 10dBA and still push a good amount of air...

K Thanks. Got it.

Hey rogue or anyone. I suspended the hard drive like the ascii diagram and kept it the same way front to back. I'm wondering if I can mount it so instead of the SATA plugins on the back of the hard drive facing the MOBO so that it faces up. This would make the hard drive fit in my case better. To sa...

Wow great info seb. Droppin some college PWM theory on us! lol

Good to know. Now I know it. Andddd I cant wait until newegg gets my accelero back in stock. I think my PC will be virtually inaudible. Which is really good since i record and mix in the same small space where my pc is.

so no PWM control. I can't figure out what PWM means? Anyone? The Accelero S1 Rev2 is definitely my choice! Thanks so such for showing me that! Now I just need newegg to restock it since they were cheaper than everyone else. I just checked and to get one now outside of newegg is 30-40$ with shippin...

Ok yeah uninstalled all of Asus tools and installed Nvidia's. Same thing. Cant view fan speed etc or adjust. But I can overclock etc.

I appreciate all the info Seb! Right before I read your post I was installing Asus' stuff which is iTracker, Smart Doctor, and Gamer OSD. They basically do the same thing although smart doctor will not let me slow the fan speed down. :( I got a blue screen of death after restarting from them program...

Wow and the reviews on newegg people says its quiet, super quiet, very quiet...

What are these people smokin?!?! It's definitely not loud but its the only thing in my case making noise! Unacceptable!

This one boasts it will work with the nvidia 9600 but its big as ever any my video card already droops on the end!

From some website: Replace the fan Most chipset fans are 40x40x10mm, and Papst/EBM makes an excellent replacement fan called 412FM, however, many gfx cards and chipsets use special mountings for the fans, which makes it impossible to replace the fan with a standard fan. If this is the case you will ...

Heres my last noise problem. How do I fix it?

THIS PROCESSOR IS DEFINITELY WORTH THE $100 (oops caps) I spent on it so far. Ive havent done anything super intese YET but Ive used premiere flash photoshop audition and fruity loops pretty good so far. premiere crashed once but that was do to a plugin issue with fruity loops that i think it worked...

Another thing... I didnt get a chance to read others posts but AMD will save you money and still give you the processing power your looking for. Intel is just more expensive then AMD its just that simple. yeah for for comparable CPUs Intels almost always better. But thats not say that AMD's still do...

Theres ways to get student discounts on Windows 7 (geet it for $30) with student email address before Jan 1st! Do a search. Also, let me just say that as for building your first pc there is going to be some trial and error. Do a lot of reading reviews if you dont want to waste money! I've only built...

Yeah I guess cause on some systems they are mounted on a side panel I think I've seen. Should be ok. Yeah I'll make sure it stays vertical.

Thanks!
