No case, and yes, right in front of me :) but it is very quiet now :)

Thanks a lot! Did that, and it works like a charm!!! :) great

Will try that, thanks!

Installed rivatuner. There are two settings for fan control - fixed and auto. In auto the lower bracket is 40% and i dont know how to change it. Any help?

Ok, figured it out... Needed to attach location in DM. Thanks for the tip!

Installed WIn7 on a raid0 array. Then connected 2 new drives in raid1 array. Bios recognizes them, matrix storage manager sees them as well. However, in "my computer" only the raid0 array shows up. :confused::confused::confused:

Thanks, will try that

Building a new rig. Got myself a 295gtx from asus. Dont have a case, running open bench. Before that i had 8800gtx from evga and that was very quiet at idle. But new system is bloody loud. Interesting thing is it is quieter at load :rolleyes: Is there really a need to turn the fan so much...

Also decided to change power supply for Energmax Revolution 1050. Main reason is that they are significantly quieter then Corsairs, as per [H] reviews!

:) Actually they just got listed on meijin.ru... So will go with 2x 2tb greens in raid1 then.

I've read so much stuff on vertex vs intel... My head almost exploded :D Latest gen vertexes are indeed quite good, but all that firmware hassle and initial problems made me choose intel. Want my data system to be rock solid, and im just not 100% convinced vertexes are up to the task. Yes...

Sorry about another "rate my build" thread :) will be buying the stuff in the next few days, just wanted to make sure i didnt miss anything or whatever. Want fast, reliable and silent PC ;) So here we go: i7 920 (oc'ed to 3.6) Asus R2E (P6Tdlux would be fine, but i just dont like how...

Thanks! Interesting...

In the latest xBitLabs article on coolers, Noctua shows similar if not better peformance then 120 ultra.... So.... :p

If price didnt matter... Would you go for P6T or R2E?

Corrected, sorry. If anything, noctua showed an improvement when temperatures went up.

With one fan. http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/noctuau12p_032008133404/16688.png http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/noctuau12p_032008133404/16687.png

Latest Noctua seems to be doing just as well from what i've read.

Asus doesnt wake up properly... And that is a bit of bummer for me :( if not, would have gone for rampage extreme easily. What about EVGA boards? They wake up properly with 180 blck... No one mentions them though :confused: is the fan they use on NB quiet?

Interesting, thanks!

No, not hardcore into silence :) heck, i dont even have a case, and computer sits right in front of me :) but its hardly audible at idle since i use some very good fans. Right now i have 8800gtx and its silent enough for me. I guess 285 will be similar.

I keep reading about all little different problems and glitches with all different motherboards and my head is about to blow up!!! :eek: I want to get i7 920 and overclock it to 3.6. So i dont want the blk to go much higher then 180, but i want it to be rock solid. I want 12gb of ram and i...

Thanks for all the replies! Appreciate that. Will go with GTX285 and then get this cooler for it when its avalible. Will probably install my own 120mm fans on it (i dont have a computer case, so hum is least of my worries). Water cooling... Dont want to for it just yet :)

That is a very interesting benchmark. I want to use those disks for storage. That means downloading files, keeping my music library, watching movies and a lot of photos (editing them as well). I have UPS on my pc, but what happens if computer freezes with cache enabled? Still risk to lose...

Are there acually any disadvantages of going with 12gb? Surely, the controller will be more loaded, so i assume overclocking potential for both cpu and memory will be lower? If so, then what would be better isnt that obvious... Marginal performance gain from 12gb will probably be offset by...

So 2x 2TBs hdds in raid1 will probably be faster on ichr10 then 4x 1TBs hdds in raid5?

Im thinking about using 2x Intels in raid0 for the boot drive and then i have 4 sata ports left for storage. I want at least around 2TBs and i want some redundancy for at least 1 hdd failure. In my current system i use 4 hdds in raid10 (ichr9), and i wouldnt say they are very fast. So im not...

I run 1920x1200 resolution. Will be building i7 system soon and cant decide on a video card/cards. I want the card to be silent on idle and as noiseless as possible when playing games. What would you recommend?

Amazon it seems ships only books to outside destinations. Didnt find any german sites that have 25E in stock. Whats worse... All local stores actually refuse special order for 25E....!!! :mad: Why is it so freaking hard to get it........ :rolleyes:

looked over ebuyer, dabs and many other "consumer" shops, they dont have what im looking for :(

Im building a new system and run into some problems with getting the parts i need. Im located in Moscow, Russia. Overclockers.uk dont ship for some strange reason. Newegg is US only. I want to order following parts: 2x Intel 25-Exteme 64gigs Seasonic MD12 850 Noctua CPU cooler and...

Guys, my audio setup is in my signature :) Makes sense, but did you do any testing to confirm this?

I tried to find an answer to this question a while ago. I dont think i did. So just in case i bought Auzentech Meridian soundcard. When connecting my speakers to Meridian's analog outputs the sound quality was rubbish, as expected. However, what interested me more was the difference between...

Ok, thanks! Just making sure...

The plan is to get ASUS Rampage 2. And setup the drive array in the following way: 2x SSDs in raid0 (boot/applications) 2x HDDs in raid1 (files/media/storage) Possible to do it?

Ah shit... I knew it cant be that simple.:( I got some crap Hiper 580W..

I havent thought of it... Why would components care where they get the power from, even if its a separate psu for each of them?

Currently running Q6600 with 8800GTX, 4gb of ram, 4 HDDs using Seasonic 650W. Got 280GTX yesterday. After about an hour of play time card switches off with red light showing instead of green on the back end of it. Looks like a PSU problem to me, Got another PSU today. I thought i could...

hi guys, Vista updated itself with something it said was very importaint, and now internet refuses to work. In very strange way as well... Like trying to open anything just doest cause any activity at all, in fact even home page doest open. Both in ff and in ie. When i disconnected my...

I moved to another room and i want to get a tv. Im looking at something like Pioneer 50". Setup will remain stereo, since i cant afford a 5 channel DAC and reciever of the same quality as my stereo system :p Im a bit lost how should i arrange everything. Heres my room: I was thinking...
