    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    I think I'm the first one to try a low profile Radeon HD 5670 in a Slimline so I thought I'd come back and report my findings. It runs quietly and the graphics for Civ 5 look fantastic. In order to make it fit you need to remove the insert for the portable HDD, bend in that aluminum tab on the...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    First, thanks everyone who maintains this thread and answers all our questions. I appreciate seeing Archea and jeremyshaw still here and answering questions after helping me months ago. Second, I read the last ten pages and noticed some people were excited about some new low profile video...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I swapped in an ATX power supply and verified the system boots. I can't power the SATA drive so I can only boot to BIOS but it looks like the problem is the power supply died. Does anyone know if bad motherboards are capable of killing PSUs, or is it likely just...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    I have an unmodded s3600t that will not boot. When I press the power button it is as if the power cord was unplugged because I get no response, not even a blue light. I live in an old house, built in the 1900s, and I rent, so I don't know what the power in the house is like beyond that my power...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    My unmodded Slimline failed recently. It doesn't boot and I can't troubleshoot the problem until I get at least that 20-to-24 pin ATX adapter. So I ordered a Sparkle SPI270LE 270 watt and the ATX adapter and I'm crossing my fingers that it's just the PSU and that it didn't take anything else...

    The highly rated HP Pavilion Slimline PC thread

    I'm trying to figure out a few things I wasn't able to find (or missed) reading this behemoth of a thread: 1) Is there a low-power, low-profile version of the 9800 GT? I see low-power, low profile, but I don't see a card that has both, like for the 9600 GT. 2) I see the 9800 GT is...

    C1/2/4E, what's the deal?

    Simple answer, C2 and C4e are progressively more power-saving idle states. C1 and C2 are methods of shutting off the clock, C4e also reduces core voltage when the CPU is idle. Check this page out. I'm guessing you didn't know the right words to search. I just searched "C-states" in Google...

    Gaming with an unmodded MI-100?

    Thanks a lot guys. I'm very excited about that 9600 GT Green Edition. Did they say anything about when it might be coming out yet? Looks like heat is going to be a problem with the MI-100 or if I opt for an HP Slimline. Other than modding my case or getting a bigger case, are there any...

    Gaming with an unmodded MI-100?

    My ideal system will have as small of a profile as possible - size, noise, energy consumption, yet still be able to play Fallout 3 at healthy levels. As a very small case I was looking at the MI-100, but I don't want to have to mod the case. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience or can say...
