Just a seagate 300 and a western digital 400.

The western digital is much quieter idle, but has louder seeks. Runs about 4 degrees hotter, or at least reports so.

I used stretch magic for it. And since i was introduced to suspension 5 builds ago, I refuse to use a system without it. All of my systems use 2 hard drives, and without suspension, there is a harmonic pulsing hum that is impossible to get rid of. Now I just have to figure out a way to cool them wel...

Thanks for the thoughts, do you think that the vid card will run hot even if I implement a middle fan and allow it to flow air out the pci slot covers? I have this video card btw. Which I think may lend very well to this setup? http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/14-125-043-04.jpg ht...

I was a bit disappointed with my P182's performance over my 3700BQE. My setup - Core 2 Duo 6400 oc'ed mildly to 2.80 Ninja 7600gts 2 hard drives suspended @ bottom. I based my build around the traditional ones that I see everyone doing and resulted in these problems 1) Higher CPU temps 2) Poor front...

Just thought I'd like to share my method of suspending my HDD's in my P182's lower cage.

Sorry for the crappy phone cam pics in advance.

Where'd you get that piece of plastic that you used as a frame for the suspension from?

I also ordered a 3480, and recieved a 3400.

I ordered from Eagle computer.

Other than the 80 plus certification, what are the differences between the two models?

thank you very much!

I searched around, and I couldn't find a definate answer.

The ABIT ab9 pro has a rear heatsink for its chipset, does this compromise clearance for Ninja heatsinks?

I've been using my Ninja on my 939 system for a while now, love it, and I am about to move to a Core 2 Duo System.

Is there anywhere I can get the mounting hardware for the LGA775 mounting bracket without having to buy an entirely new Ninja system?

To tell you the truth, I'm not totally sure. Speedfan reports it as PWM, but I'm pretty sure you are right and that it is the VRM's.

I'll def take a look into getting some ram sinks to try it out. Thanks.

did you notice any reliability problems with your PWM temps being so high?

I recently installed a Ninja on my 3800+ system. It is cooling the processor extremely well. Via speedfan, I notice that my processor usually loads at around 42-45, however, I now notice that my PWM loads at 52ish. I'm not sure what reccomended temperature the PWM's on motherboards can safely run at...

Upon checking the BIOS again, the BIOS is now reporting unusally low temperatures. +1C over ambient temps for the CPU Is this just after startup (cold boot)? If it is, then that's a believable value. sadly, it is not after a cold boot. This will show even after a reboot after my PC running for seve...

I have an Abit board, and I tried the Uguru utility that is included, it also reports retardly low temps. Upon checking the BIOS again, the BIOS is now reporting unusally low temperatures. +1C over ambient temps for the CPU, while the Northbridge is about +10C. Does the motherboard measure the CPU t...

Thanks for the help. The odd thing is, the BIOS reports more believeable temperatures... 35Cish.

So its probally a problem with MBM, but why would it spontaneously start giving incorrect readings, for the CPU only.. it worked for the past several months with no problem. Strange..

I've had my Athlon X2 for a few months now. Typically it idled at 40C, and loaded at ~ 55C. I use motherboard monitor to get my readings. I booted up the other day, and my idle temps are now 14C, and my Load temps are around 25C. My northbridge and case temps however, are still within reason. What c...

I'm building a system with an x1300. I'm only going to run it in 2d mode, never 3d. Could I get away with simply unplugging the fan on the card? Or would I need a much beefier heatsink in order to cool it properly in 2d mode.

Thanks in Advance.

Stretch magic is stretchy plastic string that is used to make bracelets. If you do a search, there have been a few good threads on the subject. From the picture of your case, it seems like your options are pretty limited. If I were you, i'd try suspending one of the hard drives in a cd-rom drive bay...

I can attest to this first hand. Drove me crazy for about a year and a half until I found this site. I tried isolating with gromets, and sorbothane with absolutely no luck. So don't even waste your time trying those out. I finally had to suspend with stretch magic. That did the trick. You should onl...

Mine does the exact same thing. Haven't had any problems otherwise with it. No idea why.

i have one of the first blue sticker ones, and its been working flawlessly! I guess I'm lucky!

I really think you should go with one of those VIA EPIA boards/cpus. Not much processing power, but they are VERY VERY cheap, and consume very little power. ~10 watts if i recall. They have graphics and network inttegrated. They also have a PCI slot, so you can add a high quality soundcard. You can ...

I just got one of the CHenming variety of this case. I was prepared for a case of poor quality, but I was even surprised at just how POOR the quality of the case is. It really feels like it is made out of tin foil. It really feels like it is going to collapse like a deck of cards. The case cover is ...

I've searched a bunch, and I"m about to buy a new video card.

I was looking at the x800 (regular version).. And was wondering if ATI tool could measure teh onboard temperature. THis is VERY VERY important to me, and I need to make a decision soon, so please help out.

Thanks.

I've looked around a bit, even went to ATI tool's forums. I was wondering which versions of the x700 support temperature monitoring through the ATI tool program? Also, do ALL versions of the x800 support temperature monitoring through ATI tool? I've seen this info posted somewhere else, just looking...

i had the EXACT same pulsing noise that you are describing. I use 2 hard drives all the time. Suspending them solved the problem 100%. I can't imagine using my computer with that same pulsing noise again. Unless i wanted to gocrazy and kill my family with an axe.

I exchanged my prescott for a winchester. Couldn't be more happy, except i had to buy a new motherboard. I'm doing 49 load temps, and around 42 idle. p.s. fry's people had never heard of a prescott, i just had to cross my fingers and double check the processor id number when i got home. thanks for a...

awesome.. thank you so much for the advice. I'll go return this preshott tomrorow

1 more clarifaction....

If i get a 939 socketed processor/mobo, will i be ENSURED that I will be getting a 90nm processor? I don't trust the goobers working at frys.
