Cannot read drive on new computer

Hey guys, My motherboard finally hit the dust so I setup a new machine. The old system had a Dynamic disk on it that was spanned on one drive (long story). Anyway I hooked the drive up to the new machine and booted into windows. Win7 shows the drive as Dynamic Invalid. Anyone have any...

PWM High on IP35-E

Ok for the heck of it, I changed out the powersupply. Now, this may catch some of you by surprise but this change now has my PWM peak at only 85C. Both of the power supplies are Antec True Power 430watt. I may end up tossing both of them and look for a good 500Watt.

PWM High on IP35-E

Could a faulty power supply cause the PWM to raise to high?

PWM High on IP35-E

Ok, I got the board outside of the case and ran the machine...this was a huge Pain in the butt, but I did it ;) Anyway I put a fan directly on the PWM and did notice a small change, however it still climbed up to 100C...this time around it just took longer....about 8 minutes into Prime95...

PWM High on IP35-E

Well I have another case I am going to try out when I get a chance and see if the results are the same. I also have a fan laying around that should be perfect for the PWM.

PWM High on IP35-E

Don't take this as rude, take it as someone who doesn't understand. How is pointing the spot cool directly over the PWM heaksink not adequate air flow, and how is this any different then putting a 40mm fan to the PWM heat sink? Yes I know it will provide a little more air flow, but the spot...

I don't get it. I thought spending the money on a spot cool and directing the flow onto the PWM heatsink would be enough...Guess I can take the spot cool back and buy something else...what a pain.

PWM High on IP35-E

I didn't try running the board outside of the case, but I did throw another fan in and brought the case temp down to 34C at idle. The BT's max cpu has been no higher then 68C during the prime95 run. So it is much lower then PWM. By touch, the cpu's base is what I consider warm and the base of...

PWM High on IP35-E

idles at 72C with heatsink off and fan directed at it. I took a look at the heatsink and it appears to have made contact with all chips...the middle chips appear to have less contact, but they show slight contact. I am now putting the heaksink back on. SerpentRoyal: I am running 12 bios.

PWM High on IP35-E

OK, I just ran the test longer and it did hit 100C with the case closed. With the case open it hit 100C as well...seemed to hit it quicker this time around. I am about to take the machine down and check the PWM heatsink.

PWM High on IP35-E

My case temp is around 36C, no idea what the temp is in here...but my guess would be around 24-25C. I am running a TruePower 430Watt. In the bios under PC Health Status I see the following: CPU Core voltage: 1.25V DDR2 Voltage: 2.00V

PWM High on IP35-E

Ok, I just installed the spot cool exactly how everyone suggested. Just a FYI this is a G0 Q6600 with $15 HP 667 ram. My idle for PWM is aroound 54C or 55C. I just ran Prime95 and it went all the way up to 85C before I stopped it again. I think the spot cool helped a little, but not much...

Will do. I will post my results after this is done tonight. Thanks for the help again. Whats a healthy PWM temp I should see with my q6600 at idle and load?

PWM High on IP35-E

Ok I went out and bought a Spot cool on my work break (staples next door). Should I direct the fan at the blue heatsink to the left next to the Optical Out, or the blue heatsink next to the ram?

PWM High on IP35-E

Yes Abit IP35-E. The case temp shows 35C, but I am not sure where it is reading this. Maybe I should reverse the fans in the back to blow air in instead of sucking air out. The tower has a fan at the top sucking air out, 2 fans in the back sucking air out and 2 fans in the front blowing air...
