I am also eager to see a review of multiple PWM fans, because i'm about to begin on a small (hobby) project to build a PWM fan controller. I want to make a controller for 4 fans that can be controlled automatically with a software application instead of manual rotary buttons. This way I can control ...

A little off-topic, but I was wondering in what order the pictures of an article are taken? Are you first testing the heatsink as it comes out of the box, and later take it apart and take the pictures of its "internals". Or is it the other way around. Because, if you first take it apart you can dama...

Just so you'd know. The P5B-VM does indeed have no DVI ports. There are however DVI add-on cards for motherboards that use the 965 chipset, called ADD2 cards. They are nothing more than just a PCIe card with one or two DVI ports. No fancy hardware. Wintec and Asus are just two of the many companies ...

Next to some other changes I changed the direction of my Ninja yesterday in my system. And amazingly enough the cpu is now a bit cooler. So you might turn it 90 degrees, it might help.

Ooh, I thought is was the core max temp. This puts it in a whole different perspective. Anyway, yesterday I once again removed the Ninja and decided to do a little lapping myself, so I used fine sandpaper to brush the edges of the heatsink and left the center untouched. I then replaced it with a bit...

I started my post in the other (more general) topic on the Ninja, but I will continue over here. I have the same problem with my Ninja. The base of the heatsink is not flat and actually concave. I now have three options. Either return it to the shop and have a chance that they find nothing wrong wit...

Hi guys. I have a problem with my newly bought Ninja. I have a system with an Asus P5LD2 motherboard and a Pentium D 940. Unfortunately my Ninja is not making contact with all of the surface of the CPU. It only touches the edges and not the center. So when using just a bit of thermal paste then the ...
