I agree with you, Dukla.... no way that the heat generated by the CPU melted the solder. Pure lead melts @ 325c, the solders that I use in my work are closer to 400c. All the plastic in the area would have been long gone before the solder liquified. There was somebody asleep at the thermometer the d...

Now we look like a bunch of jerks BTW, I hit 20,000 points last night! Yay me! I agree, seems a little harsh to just boot those poor kids without any sort of discussion....

Morty, I've been very happy with my current setup. I have made a couple of revisions since this post. The first was moving the 120mm fan from the intake/HD cage to the rear as an exhaust and the second has been the modification of the drive tray that contains the 'cuda V. The fan in the tray is a 60...

Offroad,
you might give CoolCases.com a try for the 350w Fortron.... Katana Man and others say he's a good guy to deal with and ships to Canada too, if my memory serves me correctly

Well, the RPM lead comes off of the stock Atec PSU fan, if you want to maintain the RPM monitoring you'll need to get the Panaflo that supports RPM monitoring. For the M it's ...

You might want to give THIS THREAD a look before you go cutting and soldering. 7v is not the hot setup from what I've read. If you must have 7v buy some resistors or put a pot in the fan line. You might want to spend some time reading the past posts in the Power Supply fourms, you'll come up with ma...

Looks like the clock speed on this card is either 125-150MHz. I'd sure give it a try. Unhook the fan and try your favorite graphics intensive game. If you start seeing any artifacts or other non normal visuals it is probably going to need some type of cooling. The finger temp test will also tell you...

I'm not sure if the PSU in my PIII server box was dying or what but the voltage monitor started showing momentary swings in voltage that were out of spec... the thing never crashed but it has been running pretty much 24-7 for 2+ years... seemed like a great excuse to get a FSP300-60PN to replace the...

If it's THIS PSU I'd go with the M1A. It seems to have the same setup (Dedicated Fan Only power connectors) as the 380 that came w/ my Sonata case. If you want to maintain the PSU fan monitoring you'll need to find a BX which has a RPM lead. Digi-key will have them back in stock the first part of Ju...

Is it a matter of just unplugging one fan and plugging another in? Or do I have to do some soldiering? The fan connector in the Sonata's 380 is a nonstandard (for fans) unit. Shouldn't be too much trouble to take the plug apart and solder in your new fan leads. I'm standing by till the Panaflo M1BX...

This thread will give you some info on 2.5 HDs. The 'cudas are really quiet especially if they are isolated from the tin case. there is some question about the cuda IV being quieter than the newer cuda V. I've only had a V and it's very quiet to my ear.

BFG, I'm using a 9000 Pro and have had the fan disconnected for a month or more with no ill effects including long bouts of gaming. It did have some incidental airflow from the internal 120 fan on my Sonata but that fan has now been replaced by an undervolted 60x15 Panaflo directly under the HD. Poi...

While this Ahanix case only has a 120 fan on the rear, the double 80's on the front would allow you plenty of airflow. Besides... this is one fine looking box in my opinion
