Hehe I've been a MaximumPC subscriber for years now. They usually put together a pretty good rag...but their editors always have needed a bit more work. It's quite common to see 10 comments in the front of the next month's mag on all the mistakes they made in the previous issue. Nobody's perfect and...

I don't know why freshjuice wasn't happy with his D12SM-12 fans. Mine are almost identical in noise to the SL-12's. My 2 Nexus 120's are just a tad quieter throughout the voltage range than the SL-12's but they definitely don't spin at the same RPM's. I'm very happy with my SM-12's and will be using...

Hey, I just thought of something. I wonder if you can just use the lower PCIe x16 slot on the DFI board for the graphics card. Then it would all fit nicely. The passive chipset cooler, the vga silencer, it would be perfect. Time to go check the online manual. Let me know if this is a possibility, b...

bah didn't know the booster wasn't compatible with 24-pin systems. be careful with vdimm mods. I read a few posts at Xtremesystems that said if you vmod the chipset to handle the voltage increases better that the increased 3.3v is killing Winchester on-die memory controllers right and left. might be...

Glad it's working out for you :) That case really is beautiful. I love the looks of the Temjin cases but aesthetics aren't worth the price premium to me. (Ok fair enough, if I had the cash for one I'd buy it :P ) I've read a lot of posts on other forums about people having trouble with ZA and the nV...

Edit: By the way, does your motherboard not support dual-channel RAM? Mine does and uses DIMMs 1 and 3 in order to have the RAM in a dual-channel configuration. Not sure if it makes a difference, but you never know! The MSI Nforce4 boards use 1 & 2 or 3 & 4 for dual channel. His is running dual cha...

Few things you might want to consider... 1) The Zalman CPU heatsink CAN be modded. Quite easily too with a Nexus 92mm fan or 92mm of your choice. I've modded mine with a 92mm Evercool (Don't recommend this btw) All you need is to cut the frame from the fan (easy 1 minute job) and some good strong do...

A first look at Epox...which looks a bit better designed than the rest as far as clearances go. If those caps above the CPU area aren't tall, the XP-120 should be mountable. Dunno about the graphics/chipset area, but looks to be not that bad. http://www.ocworkbench.com/ocwbcgi/newspro/viewnews.cgi?n...

Well one good thing I did read about the new A64's and NF4 boards on XtremeSystems was that they actually perform better with lower HT speeds. So if you can get to say 250 HTT then you can use a low LDT like 3x and still get great performance. This should help keep the chipset a little cooler. I'm p...

I'm just extremely frustrated with all of this so far. I've waited months and months through tons of expected and unexpected delays, through availability and price gouging problems and now this. Again I have nothing against the XP-90. I'm not saying it's a bad cooler. BUT I have 120mm fans I've trie...
