Heres my crappy pic. got it from zipzoom with the 30 MIR to setup my dads system in. couldnt pass up the deal seeing as it goes for more then 70$ in some places. overall, i like the design and layout, only thing id change is the usb ports on the face instead of the top since the case is...
first off, its not the plastic side panel. its the fact that you had a closed system. a steel, wood, etc solid side panel would have given the same results. the mesh side lets heat escape the system more efficiently since its an open air source. im sure a plastic side with holes ((if such a...
actually, sony tried the plastic idea on one of their older laptops. PCG-XG500 series, which i still have working just fine, actually has a piece of plastic covering the screen. its held on by 2 tabs on the top, and slides in on the bottom of the screen face. it can be easily removed and...
cant say if thats high, but i can tell you my experience with the Ultra-90. i got it stuck on my 3700+ newark 754, and its at 2.8, 1.5v, with load temps ((folding 24/7)) at 38c. its got this on it though http://www.svc.com/fba09a12u.html im sure you can go with a lighter fan and get good...
i got one from Thinkgeek for my gf brother-in-law. first one came DOA and i had to RMA it. took Thinkgeek 3 phone calls, 6 emails, 2 negative feedbacks, and 3 months to send me a new one. Anyway, the lil thing is pretty sweet, and im probably gonna end up ordering me one too. gotta make sure...
i got the U9 and just installed it. been testing to see how it does on my 3800x2 at 2.5 and 1.42v. i got mine from frozencpu and it came with the stock fan from noctua. nice fan, pushes some good air, but just cant keep the heat down. im running about 52-58 load vs 42-49 load with a tornado...
to get it really clean, u gotta take it out of the case. you can use a can of air, just make sure to have it out in an open area. the dust cloud that comes out of the unit will swallow up anything near it. everytime i spray out my psu's i can hardly believe how much crud has accumulated in...
well, my personal experience has been with a few companies products.
1) first stick of ram I ever bought was from crucial for my laptop, back in 01. ((sony pcg-xg-500)) after 1 year of use, it went blahh on me. last year i bought a new chip from samsung. still kickin whenever i turn the...
well, im posting back with my opinion and an update to my psu RMA.
took 36$ for fedex 2-3 day delivery, 1 week turn around time from the moment they got it, and i get new ones. overall, the RMA isnt bad, xept for the fact that i had to put in 36$ to cover shipping costs to them. hopefully...
no idea as of yet. i sent out the box yesterday, ((2x sp-500)) and they should get there on monday. cost me 30$ to get it to them. you basically go here http://www.antec.com/us/support_rma.html click on the ANTEC RMA REQUEST FORM and submit your stuff. i faxed it to them and got a response...
dont put it in the oven, at least i think thats a bad idea anyway. if i were in your shoes, id try either a hair dryer, or nice sunny area. some tweezers would probably help too, i dont think anything should be damaged, just that the plastic is stuck to the bottom. try some zippo lighter fluid...
lol...... ill send him a prayer. on a side note, i just finished my RMA request process through antec and they are going to replace my 2 supplies. Gonna mail them out tomorrow and hope to get them back by the end of this year.
ON TO THE GOOD STUFF!!!. apparently ((from what the antec rep...
just went over to the 'egg and wanted to check my old invoice. i purchased these things on 10/12/05. on antec's site it says they offer a 3 year warranty on PSU's , but im not positive..??.. i thought i would just check if the egg still carried the supply and they still did. i read some of...
same story here....2 systems, 2 sp-500, 2 high pitched whines even when the system is off. neither has burned up yet, but i dont think im gonna be using it after reading this. its been over a year for me though, so i dont think i can be sending it in. seeing as how the manufacturer designed...
i just used this service to purchase a game, but everytime i download and try to unzip, i end up getting a CRC CHECK FAILED for data2.cab; data3.cab. the game was star trek legacy, anyone else have bad experience with this?? ive downloaded the stinkin thing like 7 times already!!!
any help...
just came into this same problem with my sp-500. 1 year old almost, and its squeeking/whining soooooooo freakin loud!!!. im 6 feet away from the computer, and i feel like takin a sledgehammer to it. anyone else got this problem with Antec?? i did a quick search and came up with a few...
lol adidas. i actually "decapped" my first processor a week ago, an x2 3800. heres a HORROR pic :D
i was shakin n sweatin for the first 5 min. i finally got pissed after making no progress and said screw it, if i mess up, o well. i went gung ho on the lil guy and got it off in...
lol. i got corner chips on my newark from several mountings, remountings, reremoutings, etc... shes still runing 38c load with a TRight ultra 90 on her with avid gameplay/folding.
lmao, i thought i was the only one bichin about the 2xx's not droppin. im kinda peeved at not gettin these drops BEFORE i purchased 2= x2 3800. o well, both of my chips clock to 2.5 with ease, so i guess im not gonna complain.
yup, 165 optie at monarch is goin for 150$, hope they overclock decently. g/l for those that didnt jump the gun on the x2 3800 deals when the price drops happen.
dont have a good board, so that would limit me to begin with. guess ill give the 4000 a shot and see what i can accomplish with it for now. im looking more for folding stability than anything else, g/l with yours omega :cool:
any new news on these sticks?? i was gonna pick up 2x512 but im not sure if they are worth it over the patriot/kingston if they die out as quickly as the old stock.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157096 theres also this board on newegg. i think the name screams conroe ;) . dunno anything about it though other than wats on the asrock website.
im not an amd junkie, but i am a fan of my money. im gonna stick it out till conroe and see what kind of savings i make if going intel. haveing 3 systems on 754 and 3 on 940, im in no rush to jump on anything yet anyway. at this point, price/performance in terms of folding are what are gonna...
I highly doubt that to be true, but i really WANT it to be. it would make sense since amd has no mobile dual core chip to compete with intel, and all mobiles are on socket 754. if they wanna keep up with competition, they are gonna have to make a duallie for the mobile market. of course...
i actually have 2 of the belkins you describe. overall, they are great lil backups, and come with their own software. the software is bulldog plus and it also monitors power, and has auto shutoff parameters. i had one of the UPS powering 2 computers and a 24" dell monitor at 68% load. the...
in terms of price protection, check with your credit card corp. many companys offer a 60 day price protection plan with the cards. if you find it cheaper, just give them a call and they may adjust the cost and refund you some cash. of course, this varies with CC companys and is at their...
