Correct on both counts.

Can I attach the cabinet exhaust fan to the PWM SYS_FAN2 header

That's what it's for Unless you have some other fan controller, that's probably the best place for your exhaust. [/quote]

The main reason the copper version is not available, as I recall, is that there was no real performance increase for the increased cost. For a recent example, check out FrostyTech's recent side-by-side Falcon92 reviews- the aluminum model is neck and neck with the copper, and probably costs signific...

If they include the proper cabling, you could run 6 or 7 SPCR computers from one of these. Think of that... one PSU fan for 5 machines! This is a great day for silencing!

A 1000 RPM fan? This is suddenly a lot more interesting. All the press release said was that the fan would "aggressively cool the processor," which didn't strike me as newsworthy! If any positive reviews come out, I'll definitely post a news story, but at this point it still doesn't seem very... new...

It's not a bad idea, the problem is that fridges aren't as good as you think. A fridge, especially a little dorm-room bar fridge, is designed to take a couple of cubic feet of air at 25 degrees, and cool it to 5 degrees-ish. It's not designed to deal with the heat put out by a computer, which is on ...

I think what Mathias intended goes like this (and this seems logical to me): If you want to compete with Dell and Wal-Mart and so-on, with a proper business and prebuilt systems and so on, you'll have to get a license from Microsoft to resell Windows, which will get you discounts. If you just plan o...

The chips are identical, as you said, except for one thing: their default voltages are different. the ADA is the base model, the ADO is usually referred to as "Energy Efficient" and the ADD is the "Energy Efficient HTPC" model. That (well, and the price premium) is the only variable. The heatsink yo...

I don't know for sure why such a thing hasn't been attempted, but I'd guess it's because manufacturers are afraid of the possible consequences.

I have never come across a retail, watercooled PSU, nor have I heard of one in the works.

Correct. AM2 has 940 pins, but "Socket 940" actually refers to the socket released with the Athlon64 line at launch, which was intended for use with servers. S940 CPUs use AMD's old 2-screw heatsink retention, whereas AM2 uses the new 4-screw method, so heatsinks that fit S940 aren't necessarily AM2...

It is funny that you should say that, as I intentionally withheld my knowledge concerning the implications of homosexual marriage so that people could ponder it for themselves. The idea behind that was so that people would think for themselves, rather than have me give them all of the answers witho...

I can see one loophole that manufacturers might use to get an Energy Star rating without necessarily doing very much for energy efficiency; to a large extent the "Dual-Core Systems with 1GB RAM" and "Gaming/Heavy Multimedia Systems" categories overlap and manufacturers are bound to plump for Cat C ...

Not sure if anyone else is familiar with this software, but m0n0wall works on a number of integrated PCs, most of which are fanless. Some examples EDIT: Obviously this isn't all that interesting for you, Poodle, but I thought I should throw it out there. Also, frankly, I don't think that underclocki...

And, on to your main question: Unfortunately, the low power X64s (both the "HTPC edition" that consumes 35W and the "Energy Efficient" version that uses 65W) are only available for the AM2 platform, which is DDR2-only. If you were really excited about it, you could try one of their energy-efficient ...

There are a couple of things you can do here. If you're hardcore, you could always watercool your PSU along with the rest of your gear... but that's rather a lot of effort and voided warranties. The easiest thing to do would probably be to use a duct to get cool air to a fanned PSU. That's sort of w...

As far as I know, no reviews have been posted yet.

It does look promising though- similar to the SLK-9xxes.

I figure since I pretty much work here now, I should leave Team 33 and sign on with you folks already.

Here's to another 5 gigs of AMD powah on our side.

I wish they said somewhere how many fans and which sort it contains. I can't find that information anywhere.

Edit: apparently it has one 80mm fan on the CPU, exhaust fans are still a mystery

You could try the Jing Ting, or maybe even the Ainex.

Both of these will cost you though (if you can even find them)- I'd just bend the darn fins.

At the moment, there is zero content that requires Vista (obviously). There is speculation that the whole effort is going to be a giant flop, and that content creators won't cripple their media so badly. Thus, there may never be much content that requires Vista, and Vista hardware. I don't see a com...

This isn't CPU cooling per se, but I don't know where else this would go.

I came across a new NB cooler- entirely passive, copper construction, heatpipes, the whole 9 yards. No availability outside China and Japan, as far as I can tell. Looks promising, if you've got the space.

I have the Liberty 500, I've never seen the fan above 950 RPMs even at full load. Nice and quiet, but I agree with the fellow near the top- the cables are a real pain.

It's also on NCIX in Canada and the US, though preorder only at the moment.

This is excellent news for the environment- Dell deserves big kudos for stepping up like this.

According to the Inq, Dell will have a full line of AMD desktops and laptops for the back to school season.

Could be good news for the low end, if it's true.
