Re: Seasonic Platinum 860, different versions?

I sent them an email a few weeks back, still no reply. It seems the SS-860XP2 is shorter than the SS-860XP, 16cm vs 19cm.

Re:

Now the cold boot problem seems gone, but I get "no signal" message on the monitor BenQ G2400W when connected DVI and can't even see the POST or BIOS, or anything after Vista has booted. An older monitor works, but the BenQ also works at an older PC with DVI. Does this board even support 1920x1200?...

I don't believe in luck. I believe in good quality hardware. I'm here because I just found out my XFX GeForce 285 GTX is unbearably noisy with a single-rail 12v PSU. I have two PSUs. A Mist 650W rev 3.3 and rev 4.0. The 3.3 have four 20A 12v rails, while the 4.0 have one 50A 12v rail. When I tried t...

P45 silent motherboard

Hello! My gigabyte ga-p965-ds4 rev 1.0 is dying slowly and I'd like a P45 and DDR2 silent motherboard with OC potential. I watercool the cpu, gpu and harddrives. Is there a motherboard with good north bridge voltage regulators heatsinks and no electro-mechanical noise? My gigabyte board is making a ...

- A very hot chipset requiring the use of active cooling or large heatsinks for passive cooling. - No BIOS fan control for CPU and/or system. - No support of SpeedFan. - Lack of CPU under-volting options. - Poor location of chipset causes problems with large aftermarket passive heatsinks and PCI-E ...

rodrigosg,

I had that problem in the beginning, but it seems to have vanished. Maybe it was a bios update. What bios do you have? I have the latest 1.11.

OK, I've tried another type of RAM and it works too, but I figured out something else. No matter what ram I have, the board boots when connected to monitor through CRT (DVI to CRT adapter). If I connect directly with DVI it hangs during post. Another finding; If I press off button within 1/2 second ...

that HFX Micro case sure looks pretty, and even noiseless! My travla is sweet too though :) I've replaced the bundled fan with a noctua 80mm and its completely silent. Mounted soft. The bundled Aopen fan is noisy, even at lowest speed when the CPU idles. I've returned the Board and gotten a new one ...

Yes! It has GM965, DVI and even HDMI, which is a first I found.
Their store does not list it though
I've sent them an email asking where I can buy one.
