I wish that guy would have run some sort of seek test like HD Tach to see if there was a difference between the Singapore and China manufactured drives. I doubt there'll be any significant differences. Go to page 5 and you'll see the PATA "quiet seek" of ~15ms. Thats about 1.7-1.9ms slower than the...

Is that other Evercool a 92mm? At 1200rpm it looks like a very good choice for 12V operation.

I doubt it'll fit without problems. The HR-05-SLI seems possible, but probably at an odd angle. The MSI K8NGM2-FID 's allowable L x W dimension for the NB HS is just too small. Edit: The HR-05-SLI may not fit too, if it uses the same mounting mechanism as the HR-05. This is because the K8NGM2-FID 's...

alfred, those access times are rather slow for AAM disabled drives, you should be getting ~14.X instead. I suggest you check your setup/benches (nVidia IDE/Sata drivers at work?) again. :) and if you do enable AAM, mind finding out the access times for both drives? Oh, and it appears your SP2514N is...

Any idea whether a Zalman ZM-NBF47 can be fitted onto the MSI K8NGM2-FID ? If it fits, does it have to be mounted at an odd angle?

Anyway, a comparison between Thermalright HR-05 , Zalman ZM-NBF47 and ZM-NB47J here.

Very nice 3500+ you guys have there. Can it be said that new (06XX) E6 (ADA3X00DAA4BW) AMD Athlonâ„¢ 64 CPUs are all 32.4W? Or is there still a possibility of 38.2W?

Posting the full stepping/code (on the IHS) of your 32.4W CPU would be informative. :)

6150LE

Perfect. But how many boards will actually use that, with DVI and HD Audio? By the time motherboards with 6150LE actually surface, 6150 boards would already have gained a strong footing in the mainstream market.

How's the AM2 Sempron ? Are the 62W ones really consuming so much more power than the 35W energy efficient pieces? It seems the only difference is core voltage (1.35/1.40 vs 1.20/1.35).

I think you're confusing yourself here.

7K80 80GB is 1 platter, 2 heads.
7K160 80GB is 1 platter, 1 head.

They are different models. :)
