Considering the number of problems and incompatibilities with antec neohe psus they should just get rid of the neohe lineup and introduce the same "fixed/revised" psu with another name making it easier for the consumer to distinguish between the revised units and the older problematic ones. Somethin...

Well I saw a review (look somewhere on CDRinfo.com for VF700 led) which compared the Vf700 to the Arctic cooling alternative and it turned out that the Arctic cooling is supposed to be quieter and more efficient in cooling the graphics card when using Riva Tuner to throttle the fan. It turned out th...

If I can make sure somehow (before I buy a product) that it is guaranteed to work, especially considering that the neohe is one hell of a product (when it works) I would buy it in an instance. The tricky part however is for antec to regain my trust and the trust of many other consumers who have been...

Are you planning to put 2 fans ON the heatsink or have 1 fan mounted on the heatsink and 1 fan as an exhaust which is mounted on the back panel of the case? I have a p180 which i'll be using for a push pull config with air going out the back exhaust tricool and most likely have the top vent closed. ...

The only problem is that I don't want to open up my system and keep having to change from 12v to 5v. I'd hook up the vf700 to my fan controller but it only has 4 channels which will most likely be used for the 4 fans in my case besides the psu and vf700 fan. How loud is the vf700 fan at 12v btw? Als...

Safe to run VF700-CU @ 5v if not overclocking?
Planning on getting a 7800 gt and vf700-cu, should it be okay during high loads?
System info
Opteron 170 most likely o/ced
Scythe Ninja w/ ninja
2 Antec (thin) tricools
1 "extra" Nexus 120mm at the front probably off unless gaming
Antec p180 pci slot holders replaced so air can pass thru

As I recently bought my drive (it's the newer version in the SR review), I hope its ...

I have a fan controller so I put the tricools on the medium setting and plug the fans into the fan controller and only give like 9v. It seems pretty quiet to me. You might want to try just getting some better fans like the nexus. I can't afford $60 for 3 nexuses so I'm stuck with just using this met...

Antec SP-500 in sli/crossfire?
Is it possible to run a smartpower 2.0 antec sp-500 in sli/crossfire using 2 power hungry video cards (eg 7800 gtx 512mb). Obviously, I can't afford an sli setup right now nor need one as a 7800 gt is sufficient for my gaming needs, but this is looking towards the future.

Now if Asus can get a 7800 gt upside down that would be awesome. Think about it. One could mod the asus 7800 gt w/ a vf700-cu pushing air up and in a p180 fitted w/a scythe that would be insanely cool having a nexus in the middle and channeling the hot air produced by the video card straight thru th...

I'm not much of an airflow wizard or anythign and I may be talking nonsense but why don't you try making the rear exhaust fan push air into the scythe ninja through the heatsink cooling your ram and put the nexus on the bottom pushing air into the heatsink and out the top. Instead of running the rea...

Personally, I was planning on getting the 2gb black G.Skill modules that were DDR500 rated. Why? I was planning on getting an opteron 175 w/ a multiplier of 11. If I run at 1:1 settings I would be able to overclock my processor (250x11) 2750mhz w/ my ram at DDR500. However, this would be the best ca...

There's no problem with running your ram at 500 mhz (500mhz DDR, 250 single) except that there's no performance benefit from running it at 250* as opposed to 200 (400mhz ddr). You have to have a really powerful processor to allow the processor to take up the bandwidth of 250 memory. Example: DDR400 ...

I was planning on the opteron 170 since it was relatively cheap on monarch (oem version). My luck however is quite sour as they sold out of the oems. Now I'm stuck with the retail versions which are as expensive as the 175 oems which are ETA January 20. Thus, I'll probably wait for an opteron 170 oe...

After seeing the pics by Jermaink(thanks once again man!) and comparing the SPCR review of the SP-450 and Seasonic, I've decided to go with the SP-500. It's not only modular but is nicer to my budget :lol: . The only way I'll probably go over or reach 200w is when doing some heavy multitasking or ga...

No problem. With regard to the DFi it's an awesome o/cing board. Now that you've bought it anyway, I suggest getting one of the zalman heatsinks for the northbridge and bending them up. (Do a search on this on these forums to find a thread illustrating this.) You'll also probably need some good airf...
