    Just in case anyone is trying to do research & finds this thread, here is the write-up on how I did it. http://www.instructables.com/id/Custom-filter-enclosure-for-250mm-computer-fan/

    Speaker cloth as fan filter?

    I'll put a bid in for industrial HVAC filter media. I've been using that about 9 months now. Works great. Pretty cheap. High flow. Check this out: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/categories/hvacr/filters/trim-to-fit-filters I tried several materials (panyhose, house pleated furnace...

    Custom Filter Holder for 250mm fan

    Tried that. Not enough airflow, but thanks. I think I was trying to find a way to hold the filter material to the case. I can't just put it between the grill & computer as then it's not replaceable.

    Custom Filter Holder for 250mm fan

    I have a nifty little (ok not so little) 250mm fan like this: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=36_327&products_id=21357 It comes with a grill to keep out fingers, but I am using it as intake. I also have a Lian Li PC-V1000 plus with holes all...

    Northbridge Temp on DS3

    No overclocking. A revised email from Gigabyte confessed that there is in fact only 1 sensor (but they won't tell me where it is). I put a 60mm fan on it, just to see what would happen. The best I could get it down to was like 40°C. That's crazy. That tells me even if I put a new HS/fan...

    Northbridge Temp on DS3

    I don' think there's a way. BIOS has a "System Temp" which you can see in Speedfan as well. Mine's running at 65C. An email from Gigabyte told me that "System Temp" was a combination of a bunch of temps, not just NB. But yes, my NB is purty warm.

    Accuracy of Temp Monitoring Programs on Gigabyte 965P-DQ6 DS3 S3

    Sorry, I started a similar thread to this. Here are my findings. I'm running a Core 2 Duo 6400 on a GA-965P-DS3 v3.3 mobo. TAT Coretemp v2.05.2006.0427 reports 45 & 43 on idle (°C) for C State of C0/C1 Coretemp v0.95 reports 43 & 40 on idle (°C) for C State of C0 MBM5 (w/CoreTemp...

    Temp diff: TAT vs MBM5/Speedfan?

    Well, I updated the first post with every temp monitor I though was worth it. There is a consistent difference. I have 2 new schools of thought now. Use the lower, since that is what was recommended by the mobo manufacturer (through email communication), or Use the highest reasonable temp...

    Temp diff: TAT vs MBM5/Speedfan?

    Granted, that's why I was trying to limit the question with those who have the same mobo family as me (sorry I never said that). I think it's a BIOS function. I just want to know which to correct for.

    Temp diff: TAT vs MBM5/Speedfan?

    That's why I'm confused. If it's 28 degrees, I'm okay. Back to my original question, which do I believe? Who's the best outfit to contact? Gigabyte? I have a big ol Zalman 9500 on there with an open case (haven't closed it all up yet), so I can't think it's that hot.

    Watts for a GA-965P-DS3

    Thanks for the advice!

    Temp diff: TAT vs MBM5/Speedfan?

    Thanks! I've been doing a bit of reading, and I think they may both be accurate, but it depends on where they are reading from. So perhaps it might be better to ask these 2 questions: 1. Where is TAT reading from vs MBM5/Speedfan? 2. What are appropriate limits for each?

    Temp diff: TAT vs MBM5/Speedfan?

    I'm having difficulty picking which reading to use. I'm running a Core 2 Duo 6400 on a GA-965P-DS3 v3.3 mobo. TAT Coretemp v2.05.2006.0427 reports 45 & 43 on idle (°C) for C State of C0/C1 Coretemp v0.95 reports 43 & 40 on idle (°C) for C State of C0 MBM5 (w/CoreTemp plugin) = 28 &...

    Watts for a GA-965P-DS3

    Thanks for the great replies! The last time I swapped mobos was about 5 yrs ago, and things were a bit simpler back then. I understand now that north/southbridges will use more power depending on what you've got in your rig. I was just trying to get an estimate for power calcs to guess...

    Did I kill my PSU?

    Bummer. Thanks for the advice. My fault, my consequence. Lesson learned. Another PSU arrives tomorrow.
