This only 3 things I am not too crazy about is the 2-92mm fans in front, the fact that there are no hard drive mounting places EXCEPT for using the 5 1/4 adapters, and finally that there are no rubber isolators for the drive mounts. The "review" linked to above doesn't mention anything about HDD mo...

Called Antec on this same issue and they assured me that it will fit ATX boards according to a gentleman named Roscoe. Also has anyone actually seena price on this. I nearly passed out when I saw $240.00 This only 3 things I am not too crazy about is the 2-92mm fans in front, the fact that there are...

I am using the exact same cpu as you and you will not be able to go fanless. My cpu with a 7700Alcu at 6 volts with an ambient temp of 27°C is about 29°C at idle and when encoding it can get to as high as 54°C. Summer has not even hit here yet. The difference betwen my 7000AlCu and the 7700 AlCu was...

Just got the UltraX keyboard in today. Not bad but has a slight tactile click kinda similar to the old IBM AT keyboards but quieter. I noticed that my typing is a bit faster too. The shift keys a re a bit louder than the other keys. All in all, I would give it a 3.5 outta 5 stars. Pros: Small Insert...

Dogs or cats............... get a nose or paw in there once and they will NEVER do it again. Most of the fans that "we" run here are running slow enough not to cause great injury. Just a pain for a few. My cat has never stuck its nose,paw, or other part of body into my fans. I am not abdicating anim...

I went the cheap route and got mine from the auto parts store. Had to do a bit of work like splitting the 1/4" hose length-wise but it worked out cheaper that McMaster-Carr's stuff.

Just installed mine over 1.01 and all was well. I have never had a problem updating FF.

Got the Plextor PX-716A myself. Not a totally quiet drive, seeing what we are accostomed (sp?) here but for reliability it CANNOT be beat. I have burned about 150 dvds and only one coaster. I messed up. As far as movie playing goes for a HTPC, I do not see a problem at al. Quiet in that respect. See...

are there any? and can they start and run reliably at 5 volts?

also are there any 12cm fans that can start and run with 5 volts?

I have my Delta WFB1212M's running at 5 volt at times. Only thing is a slight ticking noise.

I removed mine by removing card from computer, putting in ziplock bag, and putting in freezer for 10 minutes. Removed card from bag and gently removed fan/hs combo using a credit card and sliding between hsf and gpu.

I accept no responsibility. Use info at your disgression.

I have a Zalman 7700 AlCu on my Asus P4P800 Deluxe MB and it is close but works fine. I went up from the 7000AlCu that I was using for a period of time without incident

Excellent!

Thankyou

Will this set up work?

Pentium 4 2.0a
1GB PC2100 ram
GF4 5700 vid card
DVD burner and 80gb hd
and (2) 120mm fans running on a TP 300


Thank you

Thanks for all the advice I'm continuing my investigations JanW: I hat the intel stock heatsink working before. So I guess the heatspreader should work correctly. I could go back to that but I'd have to unscrew the motherboard again. I'm trying to avoid that. My recent guess is, that the 7700 isn't...

This coupled with silicone washers on the 2 screw that hold the chassis to the heatsink should help in eliminating some of the virbations..

On a somewhat related subject, I always wondered if you could use insolation spacers or silicone spacers on the mounting points for the motherboard.

Never though of that. But even if you cannot change the fan, how long does the average overclocker keep the same heatsink? Personally, I am on my 2nd one in a year due to the new stuff that keeps coming out. By the time you have to chance the fan, a new and improved or better heatsink will be out an...

What about using a 2 part epoxy??
We have some stuff at work the is used to hold bolts in plastic on cars.
I have never seen this come off.

Could you just as well gently bend the tab that the screws go into upwards or towards the top to create more tension?
I did it on my Zalman and it worked

I am honestly say that there is little to no difference in the two HSFs. I am running them on an Asus P4P800Dlx motherboard using the 11/16 setting on the QFan control in the BIOS to get an apple-apple reading. The load temps are within 1°C using MBM 5.0 with the sam ambient temp. That 1°C is within...

Ambient 23°C

Hard drives idle 26° max seen temp 41°C (summertime)
CPU 29°C 51°C
case 27°C 44°C

I have 3- 120mm delta WFB1212M fans running at about 6v
Zalman 7000AlCu running at 7v

d@mn.............. just looked and it is missing........... on my card it is on the top side of the card about 1/4" to the gpu side of the 16 pin IC chip. There isn't one there :( New link to my card http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=92 It is the first red pcb card Thank you anyways for...

Thank you VERY much for the link......... now to go look

Question: How does one go about telling what kinda 9800 Pro one has? Mine has the Samsung chips and red PCB Made by Ati Is there an exact location for the themal sensor? Are the all in the same place? What does it look like so i know what to look for. Really wondering what my temp really are on this...

My built by Ati 9800 Pro does not have a thermal sensor on it

I wonder if this mod will work on a 9800 pro since I have a 120mm side fan running @7v blowing towards the card and cpu anyways?

My Asus P4P800 Deluxe UNDERreports by 9°F or 5°C
This has been tested.

You can run Motherbaord Monitor 5 like others have suggested and can adjust the temps accordingly in the MBM software


If you need more info PM me

Delta WFB1212M @ 7 volts
Evercool Aluminum # 7 volts

HEY how did you get that picture of my case blowhole???? J/K


I would be real hesitant on getting that heatsink. With my luck, I'd move the computer to clean the intake grills and first rip out the cpu then the heatsink would crush my 9800pro.

But trying to use 3 analogue in a 5 1/4 bay is going to be real tight if not impossible.

I don't know where else ot post this so I figure I'll try here. I am looking for SMALL volt meters. Digital of course. I would like to find some that I can fit either 3 in one 5 1/4 bay OR 1 that will do multiple inputs. I just want to put these on the fan controller and see what voltage my fans are...
