i have been trying to get hold of an hr-01 plus myself too and i cannot find one. contacted thermalright and they were clear that the product was NOT discontinued. i'm still amazed at the very low availability myself.

i was monitoring scan but the listing was removed!

shop has made my decision much easier. they only had the samsung in stock and looking at the bright side it was also much cheaper than the WD drive.

hope i get lucky with this drive.

Corsair HX520 for Athlon XP

My Seasonic SS400FS seems to be dead. I wished to replace it with a corsair hx520w but it has no -5v.

Is the -5v essential for an Athlon XP 2800+ with an ASUS A7n8x-e deluxe?

Thanks

i am very angry and disappointed right now with samsung and my one year old 1614c drive.

it has developed bad sectors lately and they are increasing by the minute.

very very disappointed and no matter how quiet they are, data integrity is always more important (to me at least).

i have a zippy keybaord and it buzzes to no end. in fact i find myself switching off the lights as i can't stand it.

i am now looking for a replacement. and my ideal would be the following:

1. slim like the zippy keybaord
2. wireless
3. possibly combined with a wireless optical mouse too

any ideas?

anyone could confirm this would do the trick with the super silencer too?

i guess it would be a problem when high ambient temp. are involved too but i might take the risk.

Inexplicable - why did you go with the super tornado instead of the super silencer? 120mm fan?

the problem is 'getting a perfectly working Super Silencer'. Is there anything that distinguishes the super silencer a2 from the rest [maybe something written on the package]?

Or better still a shop that still has the non-a2 super silencer. this might be asking too much i know.

thanks for your reply mike.

i won't be risking with the Seasonic Super Silencer 400 (SS-400AGX Active PFC) due to the revision a2 problems.

correct me if i'm wrong but the Seasonic SS-400FS APFC doesn't suffer from the same problem, does it?

in fact the first considerations are to stay alive....having said that, there is no aircondition in the small room. just a fan.

40-42 degress would be what the weather forecast says...being actually inside makes things a bit cooler.

i do have the same whine you have experienced...and i think it's coming from the PSU but I'm not sure.

And MikeC is right...it is not only IE but anything that scrolls.

Even when loading Splinter Cell I notice it. (no scrolling here - maybe high load??).
