I just got an answer from the shop I posted above. The SS-400HT will cost 65€. But he couldn't tell me a binding date when he gets them.
He will inform me when he gets further details.

It's www.sh-edv-vertrieb.de
They don't have the new S12 Seasonics in stock yet but hopefully they will get them soon.
When I get the answer concerning the SS-400HT I will post it here.

I contacted a german shop wich sells Seasonic psus and asked if they will sell the SS-400HT. Well they answered me that they will check the price and sell them if they come avaiable.
So hopefully next week I can tell you more if you can buy a SS-400HT.

I'm just curious if you will also test the SS-400HT? If you'll test the SS-500HT you probably won't test the 400 Watt version. But hopefully the test of the 500 will give us a little bit information about the new circuit design.

I just checked the thermalright homepage and the thermalright XP120 fits on your mainboard. So I think the XP120 is the best and most quiet solution. With a nice fan for example a Nexus you should get quiet cooling at low temperatures. You can also use other fans like a Globefan which is often recom...

You really think it doesn't get hotter than the previous Northbrigdes? From what I've heard it is the other way round. I think the only NForce4 Mainboard with a passive NB is the Gigabyte one.

The 600 uses the Yate Loon D12BH-12 and I think the 500 uses the D12BM-12, it's the ball bearing version of the D12SM-12. I think the SS-400HT would be even more interesting because that's the one which got the 80Plus award. But I still want to know what the 301, 351 and 401 Psus are. Well perhaps s...

I don't think that you have to reset the mainboard because 8rdavcore only changes the Vcore in Windows when you restart it should be the stock Vcore again. But with a simple commandline it automatically changes the vcore to x.xxV when windows starts. You can test until which Vcore your system is sta...

My Barton also runs at 1,35V at stock speed prime stable, never had any problems.


@mathias: You can undervolt with the A7N8X deluxe, my 3000+ is running at 1,55V. Not a big difference but better than nothing. You have to use the newest bios and then you can undervolt with 8rdavcore.
