It seems it's actually more power hungry than the 965. Today's Tech Report article. Conflicting results.

Since you obviously don't have enough airflow, maybe a duct would work, but the fan is offset from the HS. So, you either need another 120mm fan, or: an 80mm fan could fit under the HS, to provide some airflow. I just tried it, and it doesn't fit unless I reshape the support things, but the HS needs...

I'd hate to spoil a new motherboard chipset by using crummy isopropyl alcohol.

Why, what's wrong with it? It makes my chips very shiny! No residue.

(I bought a liter two years ago, it'll last for a looooong time!)

Wait until July to check, Intel prices will drop very much, and maybe the new AMDs will be out (not), but why Crossfire? Do you want heat and high power consumption with minimal benefits?


I hope you find out what it was, and if you do, please post. Cheers!

Wow, you're fast!


If it's not seated properly, and your system only resets under load, the HSF will be cool(ish).

I said, just guessing!

I don't think that reporting is the culprit.

Is there any chance that the HSF is not properly mounted? Are you using the stock Intel HSF?

Another possibility is that the NB is overheating, or the board doesn't have enough juice for this CPU, being 865G.

Just guessing here!

Assuming you don't grind your junk to bits screwing it up :) :lol: I did destroy some 2nd gear synchromesh, in more than 1 car, but it wasn't by using no clutch. It was either by downshifting in high revs, then releasing clutch to start a drift (in RWD), or by shifting too fast from 1st to 2nd. Som...

I have a P5B-E, E6400 OCed, 7950GT, 5 HDDs, 2 DVDs, 2 fans, 2 other PCI cards in my P180. My NeoHE 430 is first generation, and I had no problems with this, or the previous 2 systems it was running.

What problems are you getting? The system doesn't start? If not, did you read this?

waaay off-topic,but how does one change gear w/o a clutch?

Move shift to neutral, rev up and, as revs start decreasing, gently push stick in next gear. It will get in at some point. We used to train doing this when I was young. And in some cars (usually Japanese), it's really fast.

NCR Decision Mate V from 1983.

I played Pac-Man on it! It's in my PC room, still works.

The 10MB hard disk.



After that, the Atari 800, fully loaded. I gave it away in 1993, still get VERY upset about it...

Yes, but as sjoukew wrote, I need a program to support 3 monitors, which I hoped someone would suggest. :lol: The Windows multi monitor support is for 2 only, it should be named dual monitor support. :) The nVidia program supports 4 monitors. Anyway, as I was looking around the garage yesterday (and...

Thanks!

I found an S3 Trio64V2/DX in one of the old PCs I keep in the garage. I have a 7600GT connected to two monitors, and it would be nice to use a third one without getting another board (I do have another PCI-E N6600 though). Will it work?

I built two PCs for family using the case. The Smartpower in one of them died after 7 months. No harm was done to other components, but it flashed, smoked, and smelled. It still booted, but rebooted under load. It was RMA'd and replaced with a nice 500W Earthwatts. I do have a fan modded 350W Fortro...

I have a Thermalright SI-120 with a Nexus @850-900rpm.

It's been in three systems so far.

They're all in a P180 with a Nexus @850rpm, with 5 HDDs inside + 2 external, next to an Epson front projector. So, I just need it to be quiet.

Picture

JimX : have you disabled Qfan to let speedfan control them ? Yes, I had read about that. It doesn't really matter to me, because I prefer steady fan speeds, and my system is quite cool running. It's my HTPC, I don't game, and even with a fanless 7950GT, CPU core temps are below 40c idle, around 55c...

I have a 1.01 P5B-E, 1202 BIOS, E6400 @2.6GHz, Speedstep enabled, CPU voltage set at 1.2V, reported by CPU-Z at 1.16V. Speedfan 4.32 reports all fan speeds, including 3 pin CPU fan, even below 1000rpm, but they're not controllable. TAT and Speedfan show the same core temps. Strange that we have such...

No, they don't do this, something is wrong.

Do you leave it with media inside?

So nvidia chipset users are out of luck wit this model power unit?

No, not necessarily, just my luck, and Asus boards. This incompatibility has been fixed on the next generation of both boards and PSUs.

What andyb wrote.

I use AVG Free on three PCs for years, and I've never seen it use more than 20% CPU when scanning. Usually it is around 10%.

You wrote it yourself in the other thread:

The P150 has 2005-12-20 stamped on the main board tray

I think the problem is fixed now, but do inform us if your RMA unit doesn't work.

My first generation Neo430 works with Intel chipsets, never worked with nVidia ones.

Foxmarks! The best extension EVER!

Especially if you have more than one PC.

I own both, they sound about the same. I think that mechanically they are the same.

the online store is telling me that the power supply (in fact all modular power supplies) are incompatible with the P182

It'll be fine. I'm sure that if you search the forum, you'll find examples of Corsair PSUs in P180-P182 cases.

The review you mentioned says on the last page, quoting: 'Samsung has chosen a glossy bezel and a mat panel.' Hmm, isn't it 'matte' not 'mat'? If the bezel is glossy, then better black than silver IMO. Now someone who gets it please report back if it buzzes or not. Thanks, I didn't think it's gloss...

The Samsung is much brighter and has prettier colors than the viewsonic.

Is the Samsung's screen glossy? I didn't think so, that's why I'm considering it. I HATE glossy.

(There's no place close to actually see it, I'll buy it online.)

So, what's the consensus? Do we get the 226BW now, or wait for the 226CW? I need one too, I'd rather the Samsung had a simpler frame though.

I found a good S3 Standby guide here.
