It's being reported via Everest Ultimate Edition: Sensor Properties: Sensor Type SMSC EMC6D103 (SMBus 2Eh) GPU Sensor Type Analog Devices ADT7473 (NV-I2C 2Eh) We've also noticed that his PSU is running rather warm. He has a S12 600W A3. I wasn't there, but he says that it's hot to the touch, but not...

" is there enough airflow inside the case to get cool air to the CPU cooler? " Yes. He is using an Antec 3700BQE. The temp goes down when a desk fan blows across it; is the stock fan running at it's proper speed? Is it plugged into the correct header on the motherboard? Yes. It is running @ 800RPM.

No it's perfectly flat.

So, my friend has got a Pentium 4 550 system, and before he had the Intel Stock Cooler, which was soso. He got an Alpine 7 from Arctic Cooling, and definately loves how quiet it is. However, the CPU now is running super hot, at about 70C. IF he points a desk fan at the case with the side panel off i...

I just wanted to let everybody out there know that this CPU cooler is definately QUIET, however it suffers from one BIG problem - the mounting mechanism. Basically it relies on metal clips ------------------------- | ............................| ||..............CPU.......|| |..........................

If you really wan tthe biggest and quietest, then wait for the 750 GB SEagate

Can anyone post pics of their SN21G5 ? Maybe some thoughts/opinions too?

It's just like all the other G5 cooling systems, with a SINGLE 92mm (i think, if not it's 80mm) fan. Easily replaceable.

Okay. I think i'll just stick to my P180 that has all TriCools that cam ewith it as well as 2 x Nexus real silent 120's.

So is that a good or a bad thing? lol

xxx?

You must be new here.

Is that sarcasm? *points at Site Admin title*

Fixed it.

I just find that the sleeving looks nicer... Eh I probably will just stick with mine, as if I were to get the A3, I'd be too lazy to swap the PSU's out, despite how easy it should be

Very nice review, Devon. I have the S12 600W A2, and am wondering whether or not it is worth it for me to upgrade to the newest revision. Could it be LOUDER? I have a pretty heavily loaded system in a P180, and i have actually used ALL the 4 pin Molex connectors with what I have. Not that I plan on ...

To clarify - - The P180 reviewed by SPCR was the 1st version. You are ordering the 'second version'. The diff between the two are marginal. Mainly it's just they threw out the VGA/CPU duct, and some tiny changes. - The S12 mounts upside down, so that the 120mm fan points UP. - Yes, it will fit a mAT...

It is official. Behold, the P180B. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811129017 Differences/Improvements: - Ditched teh VGA/CPU duct - Added wire clips for VGA 'ducting' (basically they give you 2 wire clips similar to what ThermalRight gives to customers with their CPU heatsinks t...

I am definately happy to see this review, Mike. After being with Ed, Russ, and Charlie @ CES, I definately did get to become VERY familiar with this case. Definately has a lot of potential as well as flexibility in varying customer needs. I myself plan on getting one to use as a HTPC, with probably ...

http://www.frozencpu.com/cst-378.html?id=PuGzeXzh Seen @ CES, I personally found these cases to be quite intriguing with the re-locatable 120mm fan mount. As per all Lian Li cases, the reverse-ATX design, but another thing that seems interesting is how they have the PSU directly over where the CPU n...

Nice hunting!

Where?

We have the z555 on display at my store (BestBuy). It also runs SUPER hot, probalby due to the space constraints, plus the scorching Prescott CPU and the 6600 in it. You could try internally measuring the height, and then seeing if possibly you can stick in an XP90/120 and a 120mm fan right there ;)...

Maxtor goes mini with their OneTouch III Most likely uses Maxtor's 2.5" HDD line (i forgot the name), 5400 RPM, USB 2.0. The enclosure sure looks pretty ... although the HDD I'd want to stick a 7K100 in there -_-... Lacie has also turned mini with their Little Big Disk. However, theirs is of higher...

I saw this on FrozenCPU, does anyone know / think this is better than AS5?

Memtest/CPUBurn no I have not yet.

What I probably will do is see if I can borrow an Ultra ATA HDD from one of my computers, and then install Windows XP Pro 32-bit. That way, we can address two issues - SATA, and the HDD. I wont be able to do that until probably this weekend. Thanks.

Yes. UPDATE: My friend ran HDTach, and again, mind you this is on a CLEAN install of Win XP x64 without any real software installed. CPU Usage: +-2%: 86% Avg/Sustained Read: 3.5 MB/sec Random Access: 15.7ms Wow. That is SHIT slow. I still dunno what's the culprit. HDD? Hope this helps. http://home.c...

we don't have a spare drive. BIOS Reports 512 MB RAM.

I would like just a black cloth visor with the blue SPCR logo in the middle. You know, those kinds that normally tennis people wear?

Yes, everything is plugged in securely. My guess is :

1. Motherboard faulty/bad - probably S-ATA controller
2. RAM (kind of doubt it)
3. HDD (seems to be the culprit - aka, SLOW)

#3 is the most probable reason, if you ask me. Oh, I forgot. He has an AGP 8x ATi 9550 video card as well.

I have a neighbor who has a puzzling issue - he has the following: Antec Sonata with Stock PSU Intel Pentium 511 CPU w/Stock Cooling Corsair Value RAM 512 MB PC3200 Seagate 300 GB S-ATA 16 MB Cache HDD ECS P4M800-M7(3.1) Motherboard Socket 775 You'd think this would be a reasonably fast, modern rig,...
