Well, it's certainly smaller than the Ninja (weighs less too), but it has more fins, so perhaps they have similar surface area? However those fins are closer together... I don't think it will perform as well as the Ninja under almost-passive conditions. Only a test will tell but I'm not overly optim...

Actually, yes I find the best way to get rid of them is to drink water while you're upside down. I don't know why but it seems to work for me.

Sounds like a disconnected temp sensor, as 127 is the maximum value a sensor can have.

In any case, most things burn out long before they reach 127°. Just untick it in the settings.

I would say it has the same effect as undervolting the CPU and would lower temps, however because it is difficult to do (a resistor somewhere, perhaps?) and most people wanting low power simply buy a basic card, there probably isn't much information on it. Just underclocking in 2D is good enough for...

I worked around it by creating a folder on my webspace with the .jpg extension... there's an index.php script that redirects to folding stats. Example: http://sfgames.clicksplat.com/images/fold.jpg Src: http://sfgames.clicksplat.com/images/fold.jpg Looks just like an image, but I know the truth ;) I...

That's what I wondered too. (By the way, we can get Takeshi's Castle on the old-gameshow-repeats-channel a.k.a. 'Challenge TV', but not MXC... a shame, since it sounds quite good.)

Desk fans work in virtually free air (I have plenty of 3 bladed fans, btw, but none are remotely quiet), however in a PC case there are obstructions and corners to turn.

Publius is a mercenary (who was just hired by Korriban after I wiped out most of his fleet). He gained prestige from attacking me but he could only rid me of FSDs, so his head should hang in shame. (n.b. do I owe you anything from before, tragus? I've been busy recently and forgot - I'll have to che...

The 2x2 'P4' connector and possibly motherboard connectors, however the aforementioned article suggests that they share power anyway.

Max speed should be 1000rpm. What are you getting at 5.5v? It should be around 500RPM (voltage and rotation speed is fairly linear).

I've never experienced SpeedStep firsthand, but by the sounds of it ffdshow will be a heavy load making SS useless while you watch movies. I am not particularly concerned about idle as heat production is far less, so fans can run slower and quieter. It's fortunate that fresh air is going directly to...

I hope your motherboard is undervoltable because a Prescott and Zalman 7000 won't be a quiet combination if you want to maintain clock speed. An XP-120 would really help you but isn't feasible for an HTPC. With those components the best advice I can give is make sure you can extract the processor he...

I meant those silent blocks, or antivibration screws... don't know how to call them :P (pic) so that the fan isn't in direct contact with the metalic screws and thus with the case. They reduce vibration, but if there isn't any vibration to begin with they have little benefit. Nexus fans are suppose...

Sonata-esque intake fan placement to suck air through drives and blow directly over a GPU, perhaps?

I have the exact same problem with an Asus A8V and Venice core, however not with a K8V-SE and Newcastle. I don't remember the problem being reported with the Winchester cores and Edward Ng has the same problem on an Abit , so I believe it's something to do with the new processor cores. Asus support ...

Funny, I'm allied with those two as well! :P None of my targets will be from Moavar race. They're going to be slaughtered in due time by Crucio anyway.. I'll just have to hope I arrive at his planet while his fleet are having a break! Edit: Just got hit by Korriban after I tried to spy on him - fort...

Yeah, but i leave the side of the case open (until i get some 120mm fans), keeps the cpu wicked cool. The front intake fan is only there atm to cool down the HDD, which idles at 50'C without a fan! (about 37'C with the fan and some home made heatsinks). I plan on selling it and buying a new quieter...

Ignore the commerce price, I ran out of personnel - a Colossus, 21 Anvils and 110 FSDs is bad enough, but once the 30 Anvils are finished...! I can't go much lower than 30,000, mainly to compensate for the extra time until Klingon gets what he deserves. ...though all the Klingon allies are quite def...

Oops.

From below.

However - and the most important difference - is that the higher wattage PSU HAS to cope with a much higher load and therefore more heat, so it will usually have a faster noisier fan (e.g. difference between S12 430W and 500W) and could have a different fan controller setting. Efficiency tends to be...

Won't there be a problem with the close proximity to the case walls and blowing into each other's path? It's a shame the ATX spec is less than 16cm. I had to put one of the fans on my PSU hanging slightly over the edge, whereas it would probably run more effectively when blowing completely into the ...

can this be used with pentium-m or just athlon C&Q ? my laptop came with a pre-installed toshiba's power profile manager which also sets how CPU clock changes. i dont think RMClock overrides it :/ will with program override it? You're the best person to ask that question. Try it, though if RMClock ...

FYI: The Allround-PC test used a P4 630, which means that either - Newer P4s have a different (non-aluminium) heatspreader, or - The heatspreader is the same across all P4s Can someone confirm one of the above? Fortunately most good heatsinks (XP-120 etc) have a copper base That's nickel plated. Bes...

If nothing else this stuff looks easy to spread on (= fewer problems) and should keep for a long time. Fortunately most good heatsinks (XP-120 etc) have a copper base, and if you're using a cheap aluminium-based heatsink you probably wouldn't care about getting other paste.

Chi of Think (that's me) can proudly announce he is now researching his next to last research item. :shock: I'm less than halfway with 38 to go!

You (seem to) keep yourself to yourself, so yes. Nothing wrong with that, especially if you've been feeding some Klingon planets!
