Yes I know I can't upgrade the RAM. 1 GB is plenty for XP or any Linux distro so thats no problem. I wouldn't call a "less than 20W" 24" screen powerhungry. Far from it. I currently use a 22" and I'd really like to have a screen atleast the same size again as I like to edit photos/videos sometimes. ...
Hi, I'm considering buying a Fit-PC2 and a Dell G2410 to get the "ultimate" low power web browsing PC. Fit-PC2 is rated at 8W MAX. Tests shows that it can occasionally go up to 10-11W depending on the HDD used. I will be using my MTRON 32GB which shoud hold the power usage to a minimum and make sure...
Hi, Most of us here know that the DTS sensor in Brisbane core CPUs is broken and shows wierd (low) temperatures in SpeedFan. Mr. Milani-Comparetti (creator of SpeedFan) tells me that he is considering adding a built-in +29C temperature offset on the 4850e. Is +29C realistic? Seems quite high to me. ...
Hi there, I feel that its time for a CPU upgrade. I'm thinking Phenom II x4 905e. Mainly because I play quite a bit of Football Manager 09 which is pretty CPU heavy when playing with large databases loaded. Currently i'm running a 4850e on my Jetway NC81-LF(onboard WiFi) with 4 gigs of RAM and a Int...
Sorry for hi-jacking this thread a bit. What is the type of the junction box that you used to splice the wires from your mating connector to the PW-200's leads? It's a terminal strip And, do I see some kind of a red connector/switch for the trigger/remote line of DA-2? No. It's a (what is the Englis...
What kind of paint did you use for the top panel, and what was your process? Every time I re-read this thread, I always have to remind myself that the NSK1380 does not come like that out-of-the-box! Your paint job looks so professional that I'm fooled every time. It's always a surprise to see the c...
Well Zalman are now claiming the shroud is only there to protect the cooler during transport and should be removed prior to use. I wonder if that was their intention all along, or if they simply realised it was rubbish after reading reviews like this one? In the product manual (on page 4) it says t...
What do you think about the NSK6580 ? To me it seems to just be a larger version of the 3480. I can get that for $129 with PSU. Over at the Whirlpool forums people recommend it. I don't know it but im sure its okay since its an Antec. Looks to be exactly like the P150/SOLO. Maybe someone else can t...

Thats why I always recomended ppl tpo stay away from that brand.
Hi Sam. Welcome to SPCR ! For good cooling its hard to beat the NSK3480 IMO. I would swap the fan in the PSU though. Its not THAT quiet. Running a 1200 RPM Slipstream in the bottom chamber should have your 5200+ and HD4850 running cool enough. Especially if you undervolt the 5200+, tape up the front...
