"Do you know people who love to steal your time ?"


I do now...

Just as topic says did you ppl experience higher temps (both load and idle) since channging from Vista ? I did check everything else, fans are same speed, filters are clean. Have checked with several different programs and I always have 3-5c higher temps in W7. Performance settings are the same too....

Man that was one UGLY case. Did they hire a blind guy to design it ? Or was it some teenage japanese guy whose sold on "anime" crap ?

Go into profile and change "timezone" to GMT +2. Works for me.

SpeedFan is name you are looking for. You can find list of motherboards that are particularly good when it comes to controlling fans with it. And it's free too.
jessekopelman: Threadmaker wanted a software solution and you are suggesting hardware one...? Why ?

Xbitlabs has a very nice article about Intel DG45FC and Zotac GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi together with E7500. Some really interesting numbers they got there. I am impressed how little power this particular CPU uses vs it's performance. It's as good or better then good ol' days E6600 ! Anyways here's the ...

Happy birthday SPCR !! And thank you for all good advice I got from you

I can recomend Scythe 120mm S-FLEX 1600 175 kr (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) as a good replacement. Stay away from Scythe 120mm Slip Stream Fan, 1600rpm. I did use SlipStream in one of my own PSU fan swap but it started to make grinding noise just 1 week after swap, took it out and it was broken. Blades h...

When you alter the rpm of case fans, how do you do it? I've only used Zalman fanmates, and I have no idea how to voltmod a fan or anything such. Where would be a good place to read up on that? Nice build :-) Forums are a great place to read up on voltmoding fans. Just do a search with "voltmod" and...

Only way to silence that fan is to not run it at all. Seriously, 2600Rpm and 116cfm ! There is no need for that fan i PC world.

I am looking for a good 120mm Fan to use on my CPU Heatsink. I want one that is good at keeping things cool but also very quiet indeed. I have read that the Noctua's are not the best in a restricted position so what should i go for? Thanks There is a very good "recomended" section here at SPCR wher...

Yes, but it's still same company with same crappy attitude towards it's customers. At home and at work I have personally had nothing but excellent service from Seagate over the years. I am aware of the firmware issues they are having with other drives, and the poor decision-making by their manageme...

And the owners know way better than ppl that actually designed and manufactured the card...Those owners should buy PS3 or an Xbox instead of a computer.

Worse still, our large and growing commitments to social security, medicare, medicade, and the growing interest on the debt threatens to put the country effectively "out of business" in no more than 30 years, if we even make it that far without making significant changes. It's worth a ...

Have you tried running without fan ? I don't have that board but in 9 cases of 10 you don't need a fan on NB if you aren't overclocking/overvolting it heavily

Will do. Hope that new ones are better. Just wanted to share my my bad experience with you guys.

What model # fans? there are some variable speed models- or maybe they got the wrong stickers put on? Model nr is: SY1225SL12M and I doubt that they got wrong sticker on since it's speed was constant at beginning, although little high (1450rpm) since the fans are specced to 1200rpm but deviation at...

Nice to hear that 7200.12 are quiet but since Seagate messed up big time with their firmware I decided to stay away from that brand for at least couple of years. My data is important to me...:-) That's exactly why you should go with Seagate now. After the .11 fiasco, they have checked, double-check...

a VERY nice built indeed. congrats are in order

Weird enough it does
I also thought that it might be my motherboard fan headers but the problem is still there even with molex....

it does changes speed i can clearly feel it on the airflow and even see it since 650rpm and 1400rpm is a big difference..

What high pitched noise? A fan shouldn't make high pitched noise. A working fan with bearings in good working condition should not make a high pitched noise nor vibrate excessively so there we agree . But if you read my first post you will see that high pitched noise showed up in my nexus when thei...

As my trusted Nexus 120mm fans wore out (got that zzzzzzzz grinding high pitched noise and started to vibrate badly) after almost 2 years of service. So I decided to try something new and choice fell on Slipstream 1200rpm fans. Ordered and after 2 weeks 2 of them got same high pitched noise I had wi...

As long as your temps are fine it's no issue att all. Although my ninja (first version, still going strong) does get warm, but only if I run encoding for an hour or two. And thats with noctua 120mm running at 10v. CPU is [email protected] running at 1.52V.
