i was messing around nero drive speed. How do i get it to always stay at the speed i set it to? I would set it to 4x. then i put in a new cd and it goes back to 52x. i click the box that said, restore speed setting at startup. and i tried it unchecked, but ti always goes back to 52x. any other progr...

What speed do u set it at? i like to watch alot of anime that is burnt on a cd.

What speed should i use for that

TIA
~RaNDoM

Are you using the latest version of nero and the latest version of the drive firmware? If so, I don't know what to tell you. Personally, I use LiteOn drives in all my systems. They are "smart" enough to spin only as fast as the computer is requesting the data. That way they are nice and quiet at 1x...

hey ralf, u did a whole review on the 3700bqe case. I cannot get my front bezel thing completey on. the top left of it is a little open and when i push on it hard, the bottom left jerks out a lttle. there is no way for me to get it completely tight on.

I just recently purchase a barton 2500 for very cheap and i was wondering if the Fortron FSP350-60PN Aurora was good for overclocking it with? I was also looking into getting a zalman ZM400A-APF but i dont think i need 400W any suggestions on a low noise PSU would be great, I am thinking on either t...

~RaNDoM

man i am dumb, sorry for not looking first. I did a search for 92 fans I was only able to find this thread and it didnt really help me that much http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=8361&highlight=92 So from reading the other threads. the panaflo 120mm does not start up on 5v? the only r...

I checked the reccomended section and the only fan that is not 80mm is the PC P&C Silencer 92mm I was looking for quiet 92mm and 120mm I'm thinking panaflo for both. but which model for 92mm? the FBA09A12M or the FBA09A12H ? How about the 120mm? also, where do u guyz buy ur fans from? the only place...

Hi again

do u recommend any external temp senor? it is ok to put stuff in the heatsink??

also, about prime95, what setting should i use?

thx
~RaNDoM

ok, so the for the future. if i want to modd a PSU

what steps should i take to make sure i dont kill myself.

~RaNDoM

I am using the zalman 6000. it is a fowler type heatsink with a the same bracket uses in the first pic of the post here. I am using the 92mm fan that it came with.

I dont know what the temps are. my campaq wont let me check it.

~RaNDoM

you have a right to be chicken - psu modding can kill you. and yes, leaving the switch on with the psu unplugged will slowly drain the capacitors, but it will take time. you should wait 24 hours to be absolutely certain. having said that, it's really not hard at all as long as you're careful. i mea...

ur the man SebRad

i only have question,

i thought the bigger the fan, the quieter it got? like any fan that is 60mm and lower is never gonna be quiet.

i was worried that if i got a bigger fan, i would have a come sort of dead zone and it wouldnt cool the CPU as well.

thanks again

If you are planning to sell or give away your old drive, be aware that a reformat does NOT clear the drive. If you care about this topic (any financial data or sensitive cookies?), look around for a program to wipe the drive. i didnt know that, how do i totally clear the hardrive? what program do u...

~RaNDoM

awesome, i did it right. on another note, i open up my computer when it was on and i felt this wave of heat coming out of the case. Should i be worried about this? I have the stocked Heatsink with a panaflo L1A on top, and a compaq 300W PSU with a panaflo L1A in it. those are the only fans i have. t...

woot i changed out the compaq PSU fan with an panaflo L1A and it is quiet now. The compaq PSU was a so annoying to deal with, i really had to take apart the whole thing. but it was an easy switch, just unplug and take out old fan, and replug new fan. Now i have a question. I forgot which way the old...
