(scroll down till u see the post with the sticker

after reading that the original neoHE430 units had a lot of problems and that it was all rectified with the versions 3 and thereafter, i opened the side panel of a P150 and looked at the side of the neoHE to see if it is revision 3 or later and what i saw was a sticker which had: A21 beside the seri...

plextor is one of the best (if not the) drive manufacturers there is as far as quality goes.
it is the standard in pro audio world.

to say that it is simply a rebrand of something else is a joke right?

do you have any source or links supporting your claim?

im getting a weird issue with my nSpire firewire enclosure which is for 3.5" drives and has its own power supply. ive had it for a few months but now it randomly shuts off and back on after 20 seconds, randomly and quite frequently. (there is only one light on the enclosure which blinks when transfe...

i was curious if anyone has yet tried fitting a Ninja revB into the new p5b plus board from asus, and whether there are any issues with layout/capacitors on the new board

Just use the << Scythe SCURK1 Universal Retention Kit & Backplate >>. I did and works like a dream. :lol: how do you use the scythe universal retention kit with the ninja? do you remove the push pins from that 775 bracket that screws onto the bottom of the ninja? or do u use the socket 478 bracket ...

It uses an Ultra 120 (not the extreme version). Load temps only get to about 50C with an S-Flex at 600RPM, or 60C fanless. Since the fan doesn't add any appreciable amount of noise to the system, I kept it on for peace of mind's sake. I was getting 58C load (Orthos, small FFT, after 1+hour) at 3.2G...

just curious if there are any succesfull quiet/silent builds with the antec 900?

its unreal! (a gig of ddr2, 1.5ghz cpu, 60 gig drive, size of a sony PSP!

what kind of cooling @2.8ghz ?
(just curious cause im planning on running the cpu passive)

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/memory/display/core2duo-memory-guide_4.html well i guess it depends for what application cause even from the link you provided; look at the third and fourth bar-graphs (sandra2007 and sciencemark2.0 latency ) show that 533mhz ram (with better timings) performs bette...

Note: you will not need ram rated higher than pc2-5300 ddr2-667mhz for your overclock. Derek i read that its better to use the 533mhz ram with C2D (as opposed to 667mhz) cause it is the same core frequency as the bus speed of the cpu . although maybe that only applies to running it a stock speed (n...

jimX, what kind of cpu cooling do u have?

well im planning to run the cpu passive with a Ninja revB, so even small differences between the two cpus are important

since the intel E6420 has the same amount of cache as the E6600, is it worth the performance difference to buy the E6600? (for a DAW) and what about temperature difference between a E6600 running on stock frequency, VERSUS a E6420 slightly overclocked to same frequency as stock E6600 (which is aroun...

I'm running a TR U120X fanless in an Antec Solo with an E6700 stock just fine. The only 2 fans in my system are the stock Tri-Cool fan that came with the Solo and the fan in the Corsair PSU. so how loud is your machine overall? (how close do you have to be in a quiet environment to notice its on) w...

i could be wrong, but, isn't an integrated GPU still separate from the CPU? as in it won't load the CPU? as far as i know, the only thing an integrated GPU shares on the mobo is the RAM. sure. u can have a dedicated GPU but still share the ram (thats pretty much how its done nowadays) but its still...

I'm looking at the ninja - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185038 Is this the one you were talking about? Would it only be able to run fanless on an intel processor? yes thats the ninja 8) and no, not just intel in passive mode, but you can run faster clocks speed cpus of t...

If this is for recording music, why not go with integrated graphics instead of a 7300GS? Just asking... -Derek cause that would be the wrong thing to do. a computer designated for recording (DAW) should DEFINATELY have a seperate GPU/RAM dedicated for graphics think about if youre running your sequ...

core2duo series seem to be producing the lowest heat per clock ratio right now and thus i would IMHO go with a setup based on that (even if only because u can run the cpu passive with a ninja/ultra120 etc...) but if going the amd route: which heat sink are u going to use? i dont think u mentioned it...

the p180 just seems like it comes with too many parts/pieces most of which are made from sheet-metal and all this constitutes to a higher chance of vibration with any of these parts

the SOLO/p150 is very basic and to the point. this is why i will be buying it (any day now

Hmmmm.... so the HR-01 mounting kit works on the Ninja. How does the Ninja attach? (to the mounting system?) i was wondering the same thing. im guessing that you just use the screws/springs and back-plate from the thermalright kit in conjunction with the ninja bracket (plastic pushpins knocked out)...

jaganath wrote:um, why would you do that when you can just get a fanless PSU (eg Silverstone ST30NF)?

that would be the ideal solution but fanless power supplies arent really recomended (or they are but with caution) for continous use

ok this issue of a crappy mounting system for the socket 775 Scythe Ninja revB and Infinity is a consistantly reoccuring thread subject and needs to be put to rest with a solution! so far i have found three popular work-arounds: 1.

I went for MP3s.. With flac you know there is no 'data loss'.. but I did some blind tests and read about some of those online and basically nobody can tell the difference between a good mp3 and the original. Except your HD that is :) you are %100 wrong a more accurate statement would be: "MOST peop...

i was wondering if it would be possible to use a bunch of 'wall-wart' or 'line-lump' (laptop type) of power supplies to power specific components within a atx system and therefore avoid a fan

but if you dont use the push pins and replace them with screws/nuts then the problem is rectified no? http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=117054 But why should you have to pay extra and/or bugger about with mods to get an adequate mounting mechanism? Scythe should provide one out o...

I've got 3 Ninjas - a type A & a type B, on almost identical machines, and the type a runs (say) 10 degrees lower. I just installed a second type B on a new machine today - it's very hard to tell if it's all clipped down properly, but you have to say that the clips are just not up to the job. Anywa...

thanx,
but what about the bios?
ive never had to flash a bios before. is it hard to do?
or is it like installing a driver

the more research i do about finding proper RAM for the P5B-E, the more questions i stumble upon: - firstoff, is Crucial Rendition RAM (ddr2 667) compatible with the P5B-E? - second, i keep finding info about BIOS updates and that you need to use a certain typre of ram BEFORE updating the BIOS, and ...
