Nice to see more play-doh experiments around!

Here's a link to my own play-doh silencer I made some months ago:

I've been running my play-doh silencer since last november and it's working great. The original Samusng drive was replaced with a Maxtor Diamondmax 10 300GB a while ago, and since it get's a little bit warmer I slaped on a big heatsink (1 Kg!) on top of the box. This lowered the drive temperature ab...

I received the board from a webshop 3 weeks ago with a Dothan 1.8Ghz. I installed a Zalman CNPS6500B-ALCU heatsink and never tried the one from Aopen. When I connected the power supply I heard a weird high-frequency hiss from the power-supply (Chieftec 250W). Didn't think any more about it and boot...

I've just replaced my Samsung 160GB (NIDEC) with a Max10 300GB in my fanless Pentium M system. I had my doubts about it, but it's really very silent! Seek noise with low AAM setting is almost as low as the Samsung with low AAM. The AAM setting really makes a difference. Idle whine is also comparable...

0rpm; 2.0GHz Pentium M Dothan 725 with an XP-120 at 1.35V. Completely fanless minitower open top.

The new BIOS 1.05 seems to have better overclockablity. No problems with the multiple being reseted when Windows loads.

Now running my Dothan 1.6 at 145x14=2030MHz Prime95 stable passively cooled with Thermalright XP-120.

Are you overclocking via BIOS, or are you using the Aopen SpeedStep/Control utility? I overclock manually via the utility, which incidently is still a little buggy on my setup. The utility does seem to reset to the BIOS level each time I reboot. It also seems to crash (requiring a utility re-instal...

Palled, Looking very nice! Regarding your overclocking, did you remember to decrease your memory speed:FSB ratio in the BIOS? My 1.8 runs fine at 145x16 = 2.32 Ghz, but I set the base memory speed to 266Mhz. At a 145 bus speed, my DDR400 is running at 386 Mhz... Rich Thanks, that did the trick! But...

If you are interested in photos, let me know. Pictures, yes please :) Ok, here we go! This is my HTPC/Server setup: http://aggregatemedia.com/img/server1.jpg The case with fan-less power supply at the bottom right. http://aggregatemedia.com/img/server2.jpg Thermalright XP-120 heatsink and ATI 9600 ...

I've now been playing with my new setup for a couple of hours. It seems that the Aopen board has trouble running any higher bus than ~120MHz, it doesen't post higher than that regardless of multiple. Good news though, my Dothan 1.6 seems stable at 119x16 = 1904MHz, undervolted to 1.26v(default 1.34)...

upp and running a total fanless pentium m 725 right now! stay tuned for some pics and more info...

The only swedish retailer I found who's selling it, http://www.sbs.o.se

I'm really looking forward to hearing more about these boards. I'm considering an A64 or Pentium M upgrade next month. Particularly would like to see how far these boards can push a 1.6 Dothan if anyone get's a chance to find out! I have just ordered the Aopen board and a Dothan 725 (1.6), going to...

If the model-clay used by palled is what I think it is, (Clay for children to play with. That has to stay clay and will never be baked.) then it has nothing to do with mineral clay used for bricks. The childrens toy clay is a polymer product. Yeah, that's correct, a friend of mine informed me that ...

I've not attached it yet, but it's a small thing drilling some holes in the side and put it in a normal drive-bay, it fits almost perfectly.

I've been searching for a effective hard-drive silencer for quite some time. For the last three years I've been using a modified SilentDrive enclosure, and it works quite well, but I wanted something even more silent. The biggest problem I find with most commercial available silencers is the lack of...
