    Should I even bother with a SSD on SATA2?

    I would not say it would be a waste. On sata 3gb/s, you will be getting about 2x the transfer speed of a velociraptor, like in your sig, and also better access times. It will be limited to only about 1/2 the speed a good ssd is capable of, but it would still be a very noticeable improvement...

    SATA III for P6T Deluxe

    I'm running a P6T Deluxe V2 with a 128 M4, but it does not show as a removable device for me. Maybe try loading the latest intel storage drivers from Asus if you haven't already? Or you could try the drivers straight from Intel if you want. My drive benchmarks are pretty similar, about 275...

    Local Retailer has Z77 Mobos

    Pic link gives a 403 forbidden error for me. Though if I go to the main site and type the /VvNxY.jpg on the end, it loads.

    Glad you finally got that piece out and were able to do your mod. Thanks for posting the pics, looks pretty nice. :)

    Mac Pro ATX Conversion

    I put a razor blade under the clip on one side of it, and used a very small small flat screwdriver on the other side to get the clip out. It seemed to work best for me to have the case laying flat instead of upright. Both sides of the spring clip need to be "lifted" to release it. Once both...

    Mac Pro ATX Conversion

    mahdiy85, the first thing I did to take the shelf out was remove everything removable from the chassis (brackets, cabling, etc). The first part I removed was the metal divider bracket that is between the optical drive and power supply. It had some nuts to remove, but also some rivets IIRC. So...

    Mac Pro ATX Conversion

    I used this tray from mountain mods in the 2x80mm version. I like the tray and I was pleased with the company and would recommend them.

    Mac Pro ATX Conversion

    In my Mac Pro case there is ~8" between the front mesh and my motherboard. My power supply is about 6.5" deep, and the right angle power plug adds about an inch of depth. I think that it should be workable in a mac pro based on my measurements. I had originally thought of putting the power...

    Mac Pro ATX Conversion

    1) I'm sure you can put the power supply in the lower front corner. To do so you'd have to figure out something different regarding cooling, since that is where the intake fans are. 2) I suppose you could do that, but because the mac pro card slots are further inside the case than the i/o...

    Mac Pro ATX Conversion

    The drive is mounted on the apple tray and does lock in place when the case is latched shut. It's just connected in with a regular sata and sata power cable at the moment. If I felt motivated to do so, I could modify the apple hot swap connector to connect to a standard sata port, instead of...

    Mac Pro ATX Conversion

    More progress on the mod... Finished up the cabling on the unit. SATA to dual 3pin fan adapter and USB to SATA(front panel) cables. Me...assembling while my wife is having fun with the camera. Front panel board installed. Sata (front panel) connection to USB cable...

    Mac Pro ATX Conversion

    Ok, more progress on the mod... I got the "divider shelf" between the top and bottom of the case cut out. I was originally going to use the dremel, but quickly found that that would have taken a lot of cutoff wheels and time. It was harder to cut than the rest of the case, since it's steel...

    Mac Pro ATX Conversion

    Hello all fellow modders and enthusiasts. I got a Mac Pro case for free that was "damaged" (power button came loose, easy fix) and have decided to make it into an ATX pc case, since I think it's a cool looking case. I plan to transfer the parts I currently have into the Mac Pro case when done...

    Scythe Mugen 2

    Sorry, I forgot to mention the specifics. I have HT off, otherwise my max is 3.6ish to keep in the mid 70C range. I also have turbo boost off, but the rest of the cpu features on. I know people say HT off is like "cheating" or "that you might as well be using c2q," but I find I get slightly...

    Scythe Mugen 2

    I get ~72C load under OCCT on my i7 920 @ 4.0 1.34v. I used X23-7783D thermal paste instead of AS5 this time (not sure if it works better or not). I replaced the stock mugen II fan with a scythe s-flex 1200rpm. I will say I hate how the mugen II mounts, it's a pain to put on without three...
