    moving hot pc air outside

    dust is not an issue. i'm not pulling air in, i'm pushing it out. farm animals are not a concern either. i live about 150 feet up. bugs would likely to be an problem, but i can always put a filter on the other end.

    moving hot pc air outside

    I'm looking to set up something similar to this: http://bpowah.googlepages.com/outsideaircooledpc the person who set that up uses cool air from the street to cool his pc. my idea is to put together a similar setup to exhaust the hot air coming out of my power supply. my pc is very close...

    pcp&c 510sli loud

    my system has been running quite well with this psu. only problem is that it's a little loud. even when idle, the fan runs at full speed and emits a humming sound. i dont mind it too much, especially since it doesnt buzz like my sp400 did, but i would like to control the speed of the fan and...

    antec sp400 suckage

    the noise only started coming out of the psu when i replaced my x300 with the x1900. i assumed that the added load made the psu buzz and i was right.

    antec sp400 suckage

    my pc power and cooling 510 sli came in today. i swapped out the antec, put in the pcp&p, booted up, and no more noise. x1900xt with crappy overloaded psu = chirping noise x1900xt with overpriced psu = SWEET SILENCE! i almost teared.

    antec sp400 suckage

    i didnt have the noise when i had an x300se. i think the noise is being caused by my psu being overloaded. only two more days until i get my pcp&c510sli.

    antec sp400 suckage

    i find it incredibly irritating. my buzzing is also probably a little worse than yours. it's constant in gaming and happens during specific animations in windows. i also have an a8n motherboard though. hmm..

    antec sp400 suckage

    i'm glad i narrowed it down to this power supply. do you think it's safe to run the psu with one fan down for a few days until i get my replacement? i'm still a little worried that the sound may be coming from the video card, but it's unlikely.

    antec sp400 suckage

    i've been trying to find the source of the magnetostriction noise on my newly built pc. for those who dont know, it's that annoying buzzing noise when 3d apps run and when certain animations display in windows. i used to think it was my new x1900xt because the noise only came after i installed...

    x1900xt temp monitor

    in some screenshots of atitool there is a temperature readout in the bottom. my ati tool running on a aystem with a 1900xt doesnt show anything. does the pure ati 1900xt not have a temp sensor?

    What happens if my PSU *can't* handle my new system?

    my 400w antec sp400 makes a buzzing sound on my new system. then again, i have a dualcore 3800 and a 1900xt with 3 hard drives.

    x1900xt + antec sp400 400w UPDATE

    at least it works. i have no stability issues. just this ANNOYING electrical buzzing. what psu should i get if i want quiet performance and the possibility of crossfire in the future? i'm looking at the PC Power & Cooling 510 SLI-PFC 510W. $219 at newegg. is it worth it?

    x1900xt + antec sp400 400w UPDATE

    i think it's more than 17. the specs say 10 and 15. some people say that it's 14 and 15. i'm thinking about picking up a 480 with 18a 12v rails. any recommendations?

    Noise from GPUs

    i just picked up a 1900xt and have this sound. i can replicate it by hovering my mouse over my buddy list on trillian. it also does it during gaming. interesting thing though. i uninstalled the drivers, and i was unable to replicate the noise. comments/suggestions?

    x1900xt + 400w antec psu?

    i'm not too thrilled about seeing my thread get hijacked and turned into a flamewar. all i'm trying to figure out is if my 400w Antec SP-400 will be compatible with the x1900xt that i should be getting in the mail soon. if it isnt, i'll have to order something better so that the card doesnt lay...

    x1900xt + 400w antec psu?

    i should probably note that i have 3 hard drives in the system. two ide and one sata. still, i dont think my system is using more than 200w at the moment, and the addition of 120w at peak should still not put it over 350. antec units are known to supply the power they advertise unlike some other...

    x1900xt + 400w antec psu?

    i was reading that the sp400 has two 12v rails that are 10a and 15a. does that make the total 25? should i even be adding them together? "+3.3V@22A, +5V@21A, +12V1@10A, +12V2@15A, [email protected], +5VSB@2A"

    What happened to "Go ahead and buy that 7800GTX for futureproofing!"

    i bought my 9700 pro in august 2002 to play warcraft 3 at 1600x1200 maxed. it was about $400. i retired it today when i built my new system and replaced it with a much slower pcie card until a fast and quiet ati card comes out (not the x1900xt most likely). one of the things that i noticed is...

    x1900 line confusion

    best buy and circuit city employees can buy the 1900xt for $330. i also think that they come shipped free and tax free. i just built an amd 64 3800 system and i'm about to pick up one of these. what i need is a way to get a dell 2405fpw for less than $700 or at least less than $800 after tax...

    ATI All-In-Wonder X800 XT = $339

    This card is currently $269 through the circuit city employee purchase program. I've been trying to find out how much extra the tax and shipping would be, because it's a damn good deal. I've been stalling because I'm waiting for an aiw card with an hd tuner. My 9700 pro will be hitting 3...

    Sony Giga Pocket Mpeg2 Tv Tuner

    I work at Circuit City, so I can probably get a restore disk, but getting a specific restore disk for a most likely discontinued model sounds like a pain in the ass. If you're sure the restore disk has the drivers, I'll try to find it. If not, I'll probably look for one anyway because I have no...

    Sony Giga Pocket Mpeg2 Tv Tuner

    I took this card out of a junked Sony PCV-RZ44G. I've tried to install it on numerous computers, but it always requires drivers not supplied by the operating system. The Sony website has a few drivers for it, but they dont work. Is it possible that this card may work under XP MCE 2005? I'd...

    amd system not posting and making grinding noise

    The cpu fan spins up fine. The power supply fans look good too. I'm starting to think that it may be the video card because I didnt get a chance to look at the fan on it yet, but would that cause the system to power on and then shut off after a long beep and grinding sound?

    amd system not posting and making grinding noise

    From what I've seen, the system never powers down by itself if the monitor is not plugged in correctly. Resetting the bios via software is not an option because the system wont power on. Also, the grinding noise. No wonder soyo is exiting the motherboard market.

    amd system not posting and making grinding noise

    I disconnected all the drives to isolate the problem. It's between the power supply, cpufan, and video card fan. I'll have to check the video card later tonight. As for the the beep, it's just one long beep.
