Here are a couple of budget options that are low cost and would work well with low power amd chips provided you don't overclock.

first is alpine 64.

second is Scythe Samurai Z Rev B

I have both and the 92mm fans will spin at about half speed unless you are big over clocker.

if it has a sata power plug stick a sata power plug in it. that's what it's FOR.

I imagine its the same fan then, a high speed ADDA...
thanks for the tip on the panaflo. how about the Scythe labeled ones?
I think I know your answer already.

is this a psu that would improve if one could drop a low or med speed panaflo? my system is very low power so it is doubtful the controller would ramp the fan. In the review it was stated that the noise was a low hum. Was that fan related?

thanks

the trend is for 45w cpus, 2.5'' hd, more efficient psus, lower power motherboards, and better integrated video. but I suppose its the way of the future for HP systems....

1) 2 x 1g Corsair ValueSelect DDR400 pc3200 ram model # VS1GB400C3 2 for $105 SHIPPED conus dual channel kit 2) S939 AMD Venice Core Athlon 64 3800+ CPU ADA3800DAA4BW less than six months old. Never overclocked. $40 SHIPPED CONUS CAB2E 0634GPCW 1523018160776 shipping is to CONUS Heat: bendit 9-0-0

Anybody know if this combo will boot into vista with the current shipping bios? gigabyte says only the f3 bios supports this chip and that bios was released in March. I don't have a floppy and would like to avoid flashing. thanks!

i replaced the fan with a panaflo L1a with a two wire connector. It worked great for a low power system. Others use a M1a which spins slightly faster.

my m/b is the asus a832mvp and I believe it undervolts with fixed values. still a bit confused. thanks very much.

does undervolting an amd cpu make cnq superfluous? or does cnq still work in some fashion? thanks very much.

I don't think they made the case at all. They did make the case for 600w and 700w PSUs. Don't forget that these systems are rarities at that. btw Vista has very good power management tools if you use them. Its very easy to put your computer to sleep and dramatically reduce power consumption, but sti...

thermalright is overkill for this chip. The Alpine is perfect.

I ordered three yl fans today (great prices) and had second thoughts, because I really didn't need them. So I quickly canceled the order. Josh replied very quickly and agreed to cancel the order and promptly refunded the paypal transfer. btw, I asked about Scythe coolers and he said they were going ...

amd motherboards are hit and miss with C n Q support under Vista. My asus MVP does Not support it yet. Remains to be seen if Asus intends to fix it in a new bios.

corsair hit a home run with this psu.

only for am2, however.... AMD's established leadership in performance-per-watt computing, extending from the datacenter to the desktop, allows businesses and consumers to benefit greatly from energy-efficient processors. The new energy-efficient AMD Athlon 64 processors 3500+ and 3800+ are based on ...

thanks. cpuz says that cnq is not working. stays put at 2.4
must be the asus bios I suspect. asus does not have any
drivers ready for vista for the mvp m/b

I don't think c n q is working for me. I enabled it in bios.
how should I set it up in vista? using a8r32 mvp asus motherboard.
and amd 3800+ venice core.

thank you

thanks for helping. i figured out the mystery. there are a series of little latches on each side of the top cover. mine got bent DOWN and they need to be parralel to the sides of the case. i took a needlenose plier and bent them all back up and now there is no impediment to closing the case. I think...

Hi, I had the top cover off my case for a number of months. Now when I have gone back to this case and tried to close the top cover. But now I find that it seems to get stuck about 1/8" from closing all the way. Something seems to be blocking the cover from closing flush against the front of the cas...

Thanks gents. Antec thought of everything with this case.

I think I only received 3 or those 5 1/4" brackets to mount in the upper slots. After mounting the DVD drive, I only have one left. They were in that holder on the floor of the Solo. How many are supposed to be included with th solo? thanks

Regards

check it now.

99% of real folks who own computers don't take out dremels and make a "small" mod to their case. Only a small % of enthusiasts even MOD their cases. Telling folks the answers to their issues is to make a "mod" is barking up the wrong tree, imo. This looks to be a big improvement. I have the 3300 and...

I only had these two to test. I did the test outside the case. the cpu fan would spin for about a half second and then quit. Then it even stopped doing that. that's the only sign there was any power going to the board. I just rma the board and thinking of getting the asus sli premium but am afraid i...

I couldn't get any power to this gigabyte nf4 sli board. just nothing. Could I have a problem similar to the neo HE antec? I understand that both PSUs may be sourced from seasonic. thanks for opinions. btw, I also tried to power the board up from an Antec SFX 300 and same issue.

thanks

you know what they say about democracy? It may not be perfect but its better than the rest. please let us know when you find a better case. we will anxiously be awaiting your review.

thanks. worked like a charm.

is there any way to find out the product id that is installed on your xp system. I have a sticker and want to see if it matches.

thanks

newegg is offering a unique program whereby you can buy a copy of oem windows mce and get a free upgrade to windows vista premium, + shipping charges. My main concern with this is, with this upgrade. that I am going to get an OEM license of vista that is more restrictive than the retail license of v...
