Another thing to watch is Power Factor.

For example this power supply has >80% efficiency
and Active Power Factor of 0.95

and you have to watch that the connectors, power, and +12v output(s) power
meet your needs.

Forsimple low power systems this looks interesting

Nice circuit.The large fans seem to have startup problems maybe because they have more mass. I have one 140mm fan that will run reliably at 3v, when given a startup voltage boost. I'm using a functionally similar circuit. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/drcr1/Cooling/fanstartupmodao6.gif I no...

Techno Here's a sketch http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/3126/ninjadh3.png I don't how well the stock press fit transfers heat from the base to the heatpipes so my thinking is adding some heatsink compound from the SIDE of the base to EACH heatpipe ensures some heat is transfered to EACH heatpipe. ...

My stock Ninja 1100 was not flat. After lapping my Ninja 1100, I can now see my bloodshot eyeballs in the mirrored finish of the base. :shock: I used 180, 400, and 1500 grit sandpaper. A four beer lap job :twisted: I also applied a bit of AS5 from each of the 12 heatpipes to the copper base. Will po...

Just got my Ninja 1100 and the bottom surface didn't look good. Some residue left from the plastic cover on the base. Might just be oxidation but when I did a fine lap, I can tell the edges are high. You can see the Triangle image from the plastic cover on the base, but that could be oxidation. Mayb...

Techno,

Any progress on AM2 Ninja 1100 setup?

I ordered a similar setup 3600+ Brisbane, Ninja 1100 and AS5
that I will build soon.

Any others have tips on this setup?

That adds up to about 6 1/4" from the mobo to the top of the heatsink.
My side cover is at 6 3/4" from the mobo so I should be OK.

Thanks.

Also means less heat generated by the Power Supply.

Could somebody please measure the height above the motherboard that
the 1100 Ninja reaches?

I know the heatsink is 150mm, but don't know how much the AM2 socket adds to the height.

There are high voltages in a power supply.
I think it would be dangerous if you put anything
with high voltage in oil.

I think slow speed fans work best if you don't
want to pay too much for a fanless ATX Power Supply.
I bought a 140mm fan and ran it slow and it is very quiet.

http://img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=7600gtwith140mmfanzw8.gif On my AGP 7600GT, I just disconnected the OEM GPU Fan, left the OEM Heatsink/Fan on, and placed my 140mm Blue Fan on standoffs below the 7600GT Card. Also, I wired a 5v/12v switch to the Fan. I underclock the GPU/Mem in 2D to 140Mhz/3...

looking to shave one Volt of a 6V output..


TRY ONE OR TWO DIODES IN SERIES TO DROP THE VOLTAGE

I tried NiBiTor 3.0 with my AGP 7600GT. I flashed the BIOS OK, but was not able to undervolt the Core voltage. I was able to change the 2D Slider Range, but the 2D Voltage didn't change. I suspect it's disabled by Leadtek. Less RMO's I guess..They apparantly have a fixed 1.3v regulator for 2D and 3D...

'easily' , probably not. However, there is a passive pcie 7600

Sent my .rom file to request support for the AGP 7600GT.

It shows 1.3v for 2D and 1.3v for 3D.

Can anyone point me to the files needed to flash the BIOS,
if we get native support for AGP 7600 GT.

TIA

Probably not the quietest, but available here.

I use this one in my power supply with this circuit

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/ ... modao6.gif

What I consider a new approach is using a slow speed large 140mm fan to cool the entire VGA card from BELOW. The PWB will act as a heat spreader to some extent. The generic part is you could use a large fan like this for various styles of AGP, PCIE cards provided you tweak the voltage/airflow for yo...

Here's something I'm playing with. http://img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=7600gtwith140mmfanzw8.gif Took a 140mm fan and mounted it below my AGP 7600GT using 3" and 4" screws and insulated standoffs - (Blue LED FAN).

vincent Got 15k on Aquamark 3 on my GF4 4200 1.33Ghz Tualatin. Get 24k on Aquamark 3 with my Leadtek 7600GT AGP. Both default clock rates. Thought you would like to know.

Did a price search for the 110alert..

and came up with this site

Thanks.

Has anyone seen any anything for sale with something like a couple temperature probes that I can place on my CPU and GPU that will shutdown my computer if they exceed certain temps ?

Speedfan, Mother Board Monitor, etc don't work on my system and
my Bios doesn't support fan speed or temp monitoring.

Pics 9 and 10 here look dangerous.

If those are metal screws, the multilayer board needs to have trace sufficient
clearance in the holes and around the holes. I would guess near those
holes is where a short took place.

I fried an AGP video card once because I didn't fully seat the card in the AGP slot. Another time, I got some solder splash on my 4200 and thought it was dead, but got in some good light to look for problems and noticed the solder splash. It worked afterwards. My thoughts.. If the card was hot, then...

Great article. Think I also remember a PCIE 7900 Fanless somewhere.
