There is a lot of information hereabout the causes of speaker hum.
In my case it was caused by taping the power and signal cables together.

Given the current 5 petaflops of computation working on folding, I worked out that it would take roughly one thousand million, billion, billion years to go through all the possible permutations. Given that the age of the universe is only of the order of 14 billion years, I feel that an incredible s...

Extremely reluctant as I am to actually agree with m0002a on anything, I feel that on this occasion I have to. :cry: Here's why: Up until this morning when I happened upon this thread I knew little to nothing about folding@home other than it was some scientific project that caused your computer to r...

You're making progress. I like the WD EARS drives a lot, very quiet, and fast enough for me, just make sure you align the partitions on 4K boundaries, and turn off the hard parking "feature". -joe Sorry to butt in on your thread but some questions re the WD EARS- What is this hard parking "feature"...

Cheers Lodestar, Scan have the Seasonic M12II 620w for £70.50 I assume you gain a newer build of the M12 and the 3 year warranty for that? That's what I have and it's very good. There's a new review of it here that goes into more detail about fan speed then does the review at jonnyguru. Upshot is ...

S12II Bronze - i can talk only about the 330W version, it is not the quietest PSU, the fan is a bit more noisy than the Enermax Modu82, but it is acceptable. And considering that nhwynter has a Velociraptor and 2 cards in SLI, i guess it won't be noticeable in nhwynter's PC. The reason I went for t...

Thanks for the correction on the SLI cards. You are correct that the Site I looked at had the power under load for the SYSTEM. So I have changed the total load. And now am totally confused because I had an HEC 585W PSU and it couldn't provide enough juice (supposedly) to run my System in SLI. Yet t...

Try another example - does the phrase "red petrol engined cars" imply that diesel engined cars are not red? If you had said "red petrol engined cars consume large quantities of petrol" I might reasonably assume that there was something special about the term "red" in your statement. Shakes head in ...

I am not saying that all these things are the underlying cause of 9/11, but they had to have happened in order for events to unfold they way they did. That is absurd reasoning. The cruise missile attack on Bin Laden was in retaliation to the bombing of the US embassies, which was carried out less t...

Where did I say that? If you think the phrase "energy consuming capitalist countries" implies that non-capitalist countries or even socialist countries are not energy consuming then you are wrongly interpreting the words. If for example I used the phrase "meat eating men" that would not imply that ...

Unfortunately when at war one has to accept that you will take some casualties as well as inflicting them on the enemy. 9-11 was a price paid for protecting strategic assets in the Middle East. The Western world must accept that if they want the oil to flow it will have to be paid for with blood as...

Exactly right.

By that time, bin Laden was extremely upset that the US military was remaining on Saudi soil." It was kind of a rhetorical question really. I'm sure most reasonably well read people know the story. Your explanation could have stopped after the line quoted above. However, personally I believe that t...

If the EU were a match for the US economically and militarily, they could justifiably act as a check on America's aspirations. America does not have any "aspirations". But when terrorists declare war on your country, kill 3,000 citizens in you largest city, and knock down your 2 tallest buildings, ...

When you say rival power, do you mean military power, or economic power? One does not have to be large to be an economic power, unless one is planning things like tariffs and import duties and other protectionist and anti-competitive activities. I don't really understand all this "rival power" talk...

When you say America, I think you mean individual Americans and not the US government. There are many Irish Americans in the US, and I presume that some gave money to Irish charities even when they did not realize they were fronts for terrorist organizations. Some Americans wonder WTF Britain is do...

Whether or not Fayd is right about how Americans feel about the rest of the world, I am of the opinion that the majority of people in the UK and perhaps Europe share his view. Be it stereotyping by the media or peoples personal experience, many Europeans see the average American as an insular perso...

I believe it would be more accurate to say that only in Fayd's mind , Americans believe the rest of the world is irrelevant, But Fayd has offered no evidence to support such a theory. Whether or not Fayd is right about how Americans feel about the rest of the world, I am of the opinion that the maj...

I was wondering if anyone has tested noise difference between ducting the PSU, and using PSU fan for ventilating the case as well. My theory would be that in the ducting setup, the case fan is alone in providing a good case temperature for CPU, GPU, etc, thus requiring a higher flow rate than "norm...

Have you looked here.

The Scythe Kabuto is listed as are several other good coolers for 1156 socket. You don't have too many options in a rack mount case.

Theory in figures, supposedly at max load. Heat load case = 200 W Heat load PSU = 50 W (excess heat at 80% efficiency providing 200 W to system) Case temp = 38 deg C (as per Intel's P4 spec, 478 pin - old, I know) PSU temp = 43 deg C (gleaned from ATX 12.2 spec, can be discussed) Ambient temp = 23 ...

1. Not unless you screw up and format your C: drive by mistake. Standard practise is to back up any important data before you do anything. 2. Loads of information on the internet - Google "Partitioning Strategy" or similar. 3. Probably if I were in your position I'd have OS and applications on first...

I waited a couple of months then sent a message to Mike to which he replied that my forum name hadn't been included with my donation - maybe this is the case with you? I didn't notice this line in the instructions: Just tell us your forum name in the Paypal donation notes and we'll provide you with ...

From a column in a UK newspaper: I’ve always thought Jamie and Jools Oliver were among the most tedious people ever to have lived – but now they’ve shocked my socks off by calling their kid something about two steps beyond completely ridiculous. Stupid Baby Names is without a doubt my favourit...

I use black shock cord, either 3mm or 4mm - like this. Slightly more attractive than knicker elastic :shock: if you've got a windowed case. it fits nicely through the holes normally used to screw in the DVD drives etc. Available from climbing/camping/outdoor shops and e-bay and probably many more pl...

Thanks alot Judge the Seasonic is available in Sweden. i will look into the Review. Any thoughts of the CPU cooler I got the modular version of the Seasonic by the way. I don't think there's much difference otherwise. As for coolers, I've used a Mugen 2 in both my recent builds and am very happy wi...

3 yrs ago, when Mike C's noise floor was around 18dBA., it was great. I'm not sure how it would compare today. According to the review , the fan is audible at low loads. Yeah, maby that HX520 is a safer bet? Most of the stuff you guys reviews ar not available in Sweden :/ Hoewer if you know some go...

Regarding the Silverstone case, I've not seen one myself but the last couple of posts here may make you consider seeing one in the flesh first. I have a Silverstone FT-01 and have no problems whatsoever with the build quality although My Lian Li case is, I think, even better. Some of their newer cas...

The reason for choosing such a high-end CPU and motherboard is that these are the components of the system that have no update path. Suppose I choose a lighter CPU today and want to update after three years. When Intel releases their new CPUs next year, they will use a different socket (rumours say...
