Maybe this will help: I had all kinds of space on the Intel 975XBX (Bad Axe 1) with the SI, not XP, 120. http://img226.imageshack.us/my.php?imag ... 120aq4.jpg
The XP might get too close.

how much resources does my (now) triple post waste? arrrgh!

There are too many questions as to what efficiency protocols could be used. Or indeed what lifecycle costs really are: leave your PC on 24/7 and waste energy? Turn it off and replace failed components after a power cycle? Or is it visa versa? Which has the lower environmental impact? There is no agr...

"I woke up one morning...."

Ain't life jolly...

Which connector? "2.7.2.1 Power Supply Connectors The board has three power supply connectors: Main power – a 2 x 12 connector. The board requires a power supply with a 2 x 12 main power cable. Processor power – This connector provides power directly to the processor voltage regulator and must a...

A totally different mobo, but similar heatsink: I had all kinds of space on the Intel 975XBX with the SI, not XP, 120.

As far as your temps go, they're not too far off from my 6600/SOLO.

from the manual: Four 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets Support for 667 and 533 MHz DDR2 DIMMs Support for up to 8 GB of system memory Support for ECC and non-ECC memory. What specific advantage do you expect to get from ECC? I'm using non ECC on my home Badaxe with no ill ...

I test fitted my drives in the flex mounts. The material is "bungee cord" like, slippery. The drives slid around too much: I screwed them in. Western Digital 320's. When they're seeking hard it sounds like a mouse scratching way down the hall . I can live with it...

I'm using the 120mm version of this fan on my Intel system. I've read in your motherboards manual that it has the AMD Cool and Quiet feature. Have you enabled this? It may be needed, Just a guess. Mobo page with link to manual: http://www.asrock.com/product/939Dual-VSTA.htm

Using the Losing Lottery Ticket Test, (fold one in half, let it spring it open to a right angle, place it on top of the case, and secure it so one half of it obstructs your PSUs exhaust grill) set your rear ATX case fan to blow harder. (Antec TriCools to high!). In my Solo, the Ticket will flatten o...

Why do you want to swap? The stock fan is quiet in my system. Noisy in yours?

monkeh: May I ask what case and PSU you have? I like the logic of a big heatsink, and a fan blowing heat out of the case. I was concerned that the voltage regulators on the 975XBX needed more cooling, and used a ThermalRight SI-120. http://img226.imageshack.us/my.php?image=badaxe6600si120aq4.jpg blo...

Thanks for the reply! I think it may be the only BadAxe in SPCR. I'm still cobbling together a post with some pictures, but have been sidetracked by my quest for PWM fans for the 4 pin CPU and auxiliary rear fan (?) connectors. http://www.jmcproducts.com/products/pwm_fans/index.shtml I have one for ...

The fan runs 675 rpm as controlled by the motherboard/Intel Desktop Control Center. With the case open I can't hear it, but I do have the Tri Cool 120,set to low, and the Zalman PSU fan right there too. With the cover on I can't hear it below about 1100 rpm, it's loud when it maxs out at 2000rpm. It...

If anybody else is interested in this combo: it all went together well. I'm testing and will post the results, but since I had to wait for the motherboard, and the LGA775 adapter for the SI-120, I'm guessing this may be a popular setup. Just an idea of the fit: http://img226.imageshack.us/my.php?ima...

I'm following up my own post again, second thoughts are my life...Is that the Badaxe, Intel D975XBX? I shoulda recognized the blue heatsinks...What are you using for video? I have a different PSU (Zalman 460), heatsink (ThermalRight SI120) and drives ( 2 WD 320Mb Sata something or others). maybe we ...

Why not share: what is the mobo , psu, drive? You found the stock cooler OK? I'm building a Core 2 Duo in a Solo as well. Did the Solo meet your needs? Your system looks pretty good to me...

Sorry, correcting my own posts is becoming a personal style...
mbetea gave you a good source, I may buy one of these fans.

Thanks mbetea!

I had a similar question, and don't believe there is any direct answer http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=33911 I didn't find any pwm fans or enthusiast heatsinks with pwm fans except these Nexus products: http://www.endpcnoise.com/cgi-bin/e/std/sku=PHT-7750.html http://www.endpcnoise....

Sorry: the price on the memory that Yeti posted is $100 less than I paid at crucial.com this week. The newegg price is a good deal.

If you like the 150, but can accept black, no PSU, and no stealth drive bays, the Antec Solo is the same case.

The price on that memory is about $100 less than I just paid :-(
