Actually I'm using it with my Ivy Bridge CPU on Asus LGA1155 board. According to Scythe homepage all 1155 coolers should be compatible with the 1200 socket. Therefore it should be possible to install without any modifications, right?

The time has come (for me). I want to upgrade to a Comet Lake CPU. Is there a way to use Ninja SNCJ-1000 with the LGA 1200 socket?

Yes, I tried that.

hi, I have a PC runing on Asus p8h77-m pro motherboard with Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3-RAM 1600 MHz 9-9-9-24 ram. Now I bought a new Ram stick Crucial Ballistix Sport 8 GB (1x 8 GB) DDR3-RAM 1600 MHz 9-9-9-24. However, when I put this new stick into the board, the computer does not bo...

@Max_s: that was the case of the ASUS boards since... well i think forever, my S775 boards were the same - CPU fan only 4-pin, all chasis fans controlled together (3 or 4-pin fans), PWR FAN always 12V. Fine, thank you. For me it would be also important to know if there is a possibility to control t...

I'm glad to confirm that Xpert2 works also on Asus P8H77-M Pro board. It has 4 fan connectors: power-fan that does not have controlat all and runs at full speed, cpu-fan + two additional chassis fan connectors. With cpu-fan header only 4-pin fans can be controlled and it is limited to the minimum fa...

For basic use, the Pentium is fine. The low end i3 ($130) is 10-30% faster than the high end Pentium ($99) for a given application due to higher clock speed and larger cache.

I think all Ivy Bridge dual-core CPUs (apart from Celerons) have the same L1-L2-L3 cache.

I'm going to build a system for very similar applications. I was actually of the opinion that say an Ivy Bridge Pentium as G2120 could be more than enough for these applications, especially since Hyperthreading is almost not used in Photoshop etc. What you people think, do i3 or i5 give much improve...

hi,

Anyone tried to run Fan Xpert 2 on Asus P8Z77-M non-Pro motherboard?

hi, is intel's bios fan control comparable to Fan-Xpert or Fan-Xpert+ or Fan-Xpert2?

There are a couple of boards from Gigabyte, which look pretty much the same. what is the difference for example between GA-MA78GM-UD2H and GA-MA78GM-S2H?

hi, thanks for the hint.
yes i've checked with HWMonitor. VGA goes upto 60C, so I think it's ok.

should i use the case fan for intake or exhaust?
or maybe i will simply test it.

Actually, this topic in a way repeats the parallel one about this wonderful MB. Anyways, I built my system as following: - Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H - 4850e - 512MB Sapphire Radeon HD3450 - Seasonic S12 380W - Antec SLK3000B I've managed to install a big Ninja without a fan onto the processor. I've tri...

Actually, I realized that I'm going to need a graphics card simply because I use s-video output. By the way, which of these to take: Kingston ValueRAM DIMM Kit 2GB PC2-6400U CL5 (DDR2-800) (KVR800D2N5K2/2G) Mushkin DIMM Kit 2GB PC2-6400U CL5-5-5-18 (DDR2-800) (996529) Mushkin DIMM Kit EM2-6400 2GB P...

If AMD, then GA-MA78GM-S2H is recommended a lot here. However, I am not going to need the on-board graphics. Can I ask why not? You don't list playing games as a requirement. Even if it is you might find that the 780G does a good enough job. With the advent of 780G and GF8200 integrated graphics is...

hi everyone, it's time now to upgrade my PC, which I built couple of years ago with help of SPCR. I should say, that I'm pretty satisfied with the level of noise and more or less also with the performance. But now have to give the main components (mainboard, CPU, RAM) to my brother. The actual confi...

hi,
so i'm back again.

i looked at ASRock 939SLI32-eSATA2, it has lots of useful features and received positive reviews. However, as far as i understand it does not have fan header control. please confirm.

what you are saying is if i don't take 7600gs (which is too expensive), and don't want integrated video, then i should get one with 6200TC, right? No, A 6600 DDR is a good choice. by the way, are there good motherboards with integrated 61x0 with tv-out? Yes, you can get a 6150 motherboard with S-vi...

what are you going to use the pc for? well, it's a home-pc, so internet, editing documents and pictures, watching movies, playinh older games once in a month, some video editing. what about the other parts, like the hard drive or dvd-burner? do i need another case-fan, expect the one which comes wi...

Might look at the Antec 3000B Case. It can often be found at amazon or some other site for ~$45 shipped. Very quiet in combination with an S-12 power supply. As others have said you might want to look at a different CPU cooler, though the one you've choosen is certainly not a bad choice, especially...

If you don't care about 3D performance, integrated video is much cooler, and really doesn't significantly slow down anything else. Plus you get it for free, which is always good for a budget. For gaming the 7600GS is a decent silent card. It also has some nice video features that the 6600 lacks and...

Derek, thank you very much for your reply and for the greetings. - Make it easy on yourself, go for the P150 case - it's extremely well thought out and now that they've got the PSU issues resolved, it's a safe buy (although, to be fair, I took the NeoHE 430 out and replaced it with the quieter S12-3...

Take a look at this mobo: AsRock ULI M1697 and maybe this one: ABIT AT8 They're both dual video card boards, but most seem to be that way nowadays for some reason. If you don't need 3D, you can also check out the GeForce 61x0 integrated video boards. thanks for the hints. i checked the boards, but ...

first i should say i'm very glad i've found this web-page, since our current system is sooo noisy, the silence is number one priority now, although the budget for new home pc is limited. Processor : Athlon 64 3200+ Venice E6 Stepping - this point is clear and undoubtfull. Motherboard : Epox 9NPA+ Ul...

for less than $10, you can get a Zalman ZM-NB47J passive northbridge cooler and slap it on, getting rid of that noisy 40mm chipset cooler. So the cooling thing should be out of the equation for you. I'm getting the EPoX 9NPA+ Ultra, it seems excellent with no issues at all(no SLI too), with the USB...
