According to this post, Soltek SL-B9D-FGR (EQ3901-300P) also has a working C&Q support.

I've seen some few times. They are only rarely seen in Southern Finland. One's gotta go to Lapland to see them at their finest. Unfortunately I haven't been there.

PATA: AAM enabled SATA: AAM disabled This was the situation when the drives were released. Link to SR.com's review of 7200.7 , note the different access times between PATA and SATA. Maybe has changed nowadays? AAM mode cannot be changed. Though there is a rumor that some OEMs have a utility which ca...

Using SpeedFan is a no-go?

You could probably splice the fan lead and solder a resistor in between. But doing so will void the warranty.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but I'd like to mention that I did eventually mod my FSP350-60PN(PF) with the GlacialTech SilentBlade. It took some reasoning before I was willing to do so. But, when compared the SPCR reviews of FSP Aurora, NX-3500 and NX-4090, it's obvious that for sub-100W loads,...

There was some confusion between Intel & nVidia about how much current was to be available for this. Initially, Intel specified 75W. nVidia wanted 150W available. So some time later, Intel & nVidia agreed, and 150W is the correct max power draw that should be available on the PCI-e graphics line. M...

the celeron d's only run in the 40's even with a stock cooler, granted this is at 2.4ghz but if you want a quiet pc then you are gonna go for the slower chips I believe the lga 775 celerons start at 2.66ghz and this is with 1/4 the L2 cache enabled Well, even 3 GHz Prescott runs in 40s... when idle...

GPUs are generally more heat-tolerant than CPUs. Does your card have a tiny 486-type heatsink? My Voodoo3 2000 does, and it runs quite hot (haven't measured).

I'd say you're fine, since you've used it for a few years without failure.

AFAIK FireFox has only one active "request" per time per server, whereas IE has four. There are (unsurprisingly) few hacks for FF which enable more than one request per time/server. I've understood that even then there is only one active "connection" to the server. I'm no expert on this matter eithe...

You're probably not Dutch, but there was an article about benchmarking hard disks (RAID 0 in particular) which explained how hard it is to draw a good picture about the performance. The article even criticized the hard disk reviews of StorageReview and AnandTech... Interesting, since StorageReview ...

I agree with what Jordan wrote. You can never have to much HD space (that is, off course, a subjective statement) and the price difference between a 40-60GB & a 80GB disk is negligible, so a 80GB drive will be in favour when it comes to the price/GB ratio. However, if you are certain that your stor...

First thing I'd do when building a new system, is to burn all those floppy drivers (drivers that come on a floppy) to a CD, that way, you won't need the floppy again next time. Same thing here, except that the XP setup cannot install SATA drivers from a CD-ROM, but from a floppy or equivalent (A: d...

Another possibility is that you are using a PATA RAID controller (obviously without the RAID functionality), or the drives are SATA, and are connected to a 3rd party controller. SMART is not supported on 3rd party controllers, except in following cases: 1. SATA connectors in Intel ICH5 and up 2. SAT...

I have a habit of glancing through nearly every thread, so it's a matter of opening two or twenty at a time. To my defence, I've done this since I moved to MyIE2 (~2 years). So I cannot be blamed for increasing traffic.

Control Panel -> Power Options -> Select "Minimal Power Management".

Or have you already done this?

Add the aforementioned parameters, and copy/move the shortcut to the startup directory?

CNPS7700 might not fit, depending on the placement of the socket on the motherboard. Zalman's list says it'll fit, which means that it doesn't interfere with the GFX card with basic cooling. If the card has a plate at the backside, then it might be incompatible. PSU could also be in the way, especia...

I was planning on taking pictures of the swap operation, but I did it during the holidays and due to the lack of time I forgot the pictures. However, if you don't have a clear picture about the Fortron cicruitry (from reviews etc...) I think I can manage to take some pictures by the end of the week...

I'm thinking about changing the fan in Fortron (mine is the 350W model) to GlacialTech SilentBlade, which has performance similar to the Nexus fan. It'd be the only exhaust fan in this system (low-power Celeron Tualatin). How was the original fan attached to the fan circuit? Is there a connector, or...

One more question on CrystalCPUID: How can I make the ramping up/down part of my startup? I created shortcuts and used those in my startup folder, but that only changes it to one setting. I like the horsepower on demand. Add "/hide /cq" (without the quotation marks) to the shortcut. Cheers, Jan

This sounds like MBM changed the divisor during the configuration wizard in MBM. I think that You should have powered off the entire computer to make MBM work alone (maybe resetting would have cured it too). All those HW monitoring chips are initialized on cold boot (some even if the computer is res...

There was an option in the BIOS under C&Q for fan speed, I think. I'll have to check when I get home, but the default value for it was 11/16. That sounds like Asus' Q-Fan. It has nothing to do with Cool 'n' Quiet per se. Jan, what you're saying is that I don't need to have C&Q enabled since I'm usi...

Laptops are the only area where Intel's new model numbers work. OEMs are not afraid anymore to use low end Celeron-Ms in their cheapest laptops. Which means no horrible "Desktop Celeron 2.8GHz" -space heaters for the cheapest laptops anymore. Just make sure You get enough RAM. Laptop hard drives are...

I then enabled Cool 'n' Quiet in the BIOS. I don't really see any benefit from running this yet, but perhaps more testing will reveal something. I think it will slow down the fans, but since I am running F@H all the time, I don't think it's going to slow them down. Cool 'n' Quiet does nothing for t...

Hmm... Isn't Zalman CNPS7000-AlCu way less than $50? Fan is included, as is a Fan Mate.
