Try if You can change the multiplier with CrystalCPUID . (PS.

[quote="greeef"]Have you tried setting it above or below 12.5? Some motherboards can only access either the 5-12 mutlitplier ranger, or the 12.5-18 range and need to be switched between the two, either with a jumper or a wire in the cpu socket.

Athlon XP-M changing multiplier in the BIOS won't work
I have a socket A Athlon XP-M 1900 CPU. When I try and change the multiplier in the BIOS, it doesn't change the CPU clock speed like it should. I thought all mobile Athlon CPUs were unlocked? What could the problem be? There is a set of switches on my motherboard that allows you to set the CPU FSB s...

Yes, that looks like a fan. But unless you have abnormally small fingers, the fan is much larger than 10mm. Why don't you just test it? Actually, you are right about the length. It is actually about a 1 inch fan if it really is a fan. I did try plugging it into the wall, and it did not spin up. Doe...

It said on DC2DC.com that all their power supplies were fanless.

Looking for fanless micro ATX power supply
I'm looking for a power supply that is fanless and micro ATX size. I don't need that much wattage. I only need about 150WATT. Any place I could find a good quality micro ATX fanless power supply for a reasonable price at 150WATT?
Suggestions greatly appreciated.
