I allmost bet that if your motherboard has something like asus Q-fan it will turn off the zalman during idle since you have so much airflow going through the case.

Sounds like great news for us stubborn non switchers

Oh but that aint so far off the bat tho...

Take a look at the KANDALFva9000. God grief they killed the Stacker™

Are you supposed to slide the fan in between the two heat sinks?
How do you attach it?

Look at the components around the SB. Perhaps you can "comb the hair" into a split instead of cutting it all?

some tests and all that:

Sorry for thread necromancy but i could find no newer thread about it...

If you read the actual Apple dev site you can see that Core Image/Core Video have now been merged. You can also see that the list of video cards supporting Core has been temporarily removed, and you will also find several articles that explain that if a GPU cannot natively support Core Image/Video ...

That is how my rig works. See sig. Now mine has the old via chipset and a rather cool 2800+ so I cant tell you for sure about your particular board, cpu and case...

And on the same level you can mod a Super Tornado with a Nexus 120 and achieve the quietest possible air cooled PSU there pretty much can be.

This might be a longshot but when I was in Stockholm recently there was a shop (it looked like a chain) when you go in and then have about 20 computers that allow you to access their online cataglogue.

this si-97 looks pretty cool. they must have discovered the aluminium fins conducting base to top weren't really doing much at all (negligible compared to phase-change action). i suppose nobody could dare doubt the effectiveness of those thermalright heatpipes now.

Yes. You probably have far too much tim. And a mix of two different kinds? And a mix of old and new?

Read the artic silver instructions.

In Sweden you can - I just did. But there is a price premium to pay over ordering it from the cheapest web shop.


Of course they are not supposed to sell it unless bundled with a new computer, but who wants to buy a new computer only to get a keyboard?

Liquid: Take off your shoes?

[edit]Slightly On topic: did people in the older threads like the Logitech OEM UltraX? Starting to wonder if silence might overweigh ergonomic disadvatages of retireing this old MS Natural Keyboard. I don't like the new Elite at all, nor Logitech's "natural" one

With C&Q and Q-fan enabled in my 3700AMB the zalman 7000alcu doesn't run at all unless I'm doing extended gaming.
And with the case fan at 5V the PSU is clearly the loudest component.

Looks nice - now hook it up with th system so you can set and controll it by software

Since you are here at SPCR you care about your ears - go black and care about the ergonomics for your eyes too.

As for fast colours I've allways thought that red was the universially accepted fastest colour

No copper core/baseplate tho - or am I seeing wrong?

The Samsungs... look around

I'd add the 1.44MB size and speed to the disadvatages

And I rather compare the costs with that of a silent small HD.

So...the short answer so far is, no, no one here is using a diskless workstation? Well Katana's machine I guess is using the Solid State Drive for boot and OS and the other SCSI drive for file storage. So what you seem to want is to put his secondary drive in a homemade NAS or fileserver? I like th...

By any chance You are using rounded cables ? No I do the origami thing :) Is there any other things I should try if the cables turn out ok btw?

Yes on every second or third boot or so. And even if it boots ok it usually goes "corrupt" during the day.

It probably runs as a service under an "svchost.exe" instance so it'd be pretty hard to pinpoint. But that's just me guessing.
