There is a fanless 4850 from Gigabyte if you don't want to wait on the 4770 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814125258

You could have it run auto. Set your desired speed to the minimum. Then set the regulating temp high and it will never increase the fan speeds. For instance my motherboard temp doesn't seem to vary very much, so setting it even 10C high would be a temp that doesn't seem likely to ever reach Another ...

I don't see much point in adjusting intake fans (option 1 would work) considering how in my testing they seemed to be more prone to noise, but you might be able to use your motherboard headers and speedfan for a portion of the control.

After manually changing my programs menu, I began getting two speedfans on startup. I tried to figure out some way to get the shortcut in the startup folder to work again, but everything I tried left me with either no startup or two copies. What I ended up doing was removing the startup shortcut and...

I noticed the video card and north bridge were getting a lot hotter than the rest of the computer. The first thing I wanted was to cool them. At first I tried mounting a fan vertically and blowing across the video card, but that didn't have much effect on the north bridge with the case open or close...

Yes I got it to work by the first reply with config->advanced->software-controlled. It still took another question to the board before I got the automatic fan speed working right.

If you're just looking at typical idle temps, I'm going to guess that the top drive is the primary drive where your OS and programs are located. I have no idea what you're running, but I know when I installed Vista with 1GB ram that it sure seemed to do a lot of drive reads for seemingly no reason.

Thanks to the forum I can now use speedfan to manually adjust my fan speeds. What I can't seem to figure out is if it's possible to use the program to run from startup and automatically control speeds by temperature like Easy Tune can do. On Easy Tune you just set two speeds and when the temperature...

I ordered two of the YL and an E model Scythe. The D12SL-12 fans I got were basically junk. Around 900-1000rpm the only fan I've used that's louder than the YL is my Tuniq Tower fan. The Scythe is impressive, but of course at that speed both my Coolermaster case fan and Aerocool Xtreme Turbine are r...

I have a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 motherboard. How can I control the fan speeds with this board? The impression I got looking at the manual is that both the CPU and system fans could be controlled by the motherboard. - Using speedfan the RPMs make no sense at all and setting the speeds 0 has no effect. ...

So far I haven't figured out, how do you adjust fan speeds with the Gigabyte motherboards? On the default bios settings, speedfan and Easy Tune seem to have no effect. My only guess is that maybe I need to turn off auto fan speed and set the bios to maybe legacy for the 3 pin fans. One thing I do kn...

I would like to get an ATSC tuner for Vista. The Hauppauge 1600 seems to have an IR receiver, but I'm not sure it does power on. Motherboard is Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3.

What commercial products allow for IR remote control of Vista including remote on? I've seen VLSystem and Soundgraph. I would consider buying the first, but I'm curious if there's any other options.

INTENT: I have a Centurion 5 case that I would like to quiet. The case is a midtower with 80mm intake fan at the bottom front, mesh for most of the front, a couple openings in the side, a 120mm output at the top back near the interior CPU and power supply fans. I went with the case mostly for price ...

I don't know anything about computer monitors, but hooking up a computer to an HDTV is no big deal. I was able to use VGA for my old 37" LCD and now I'm using HDMI from a 8600GTS to a 50" SXRD. I was a little worried about the current TV because it's rear projection that has overscan, and because th...
