A friend ordered the 9200 dimension with E6300 chip. It arrived about 7-8 days after ordering. The onboard sound did not work and they are sending him a new computer instead of sending someone out to his home to replace the motherboard. Although this was a screw up, Dell did the right thing...
More advanced computer builders are familiar with the need to be cognizant of power requirements . Add up the total voltage requirements per rail for your components and add 15% (or more) is a good idea. Good clean and accurate power supplies are not cheap as a rule. The less expensive ones...
AMD tech support states both are 4 heatpipe heatsinks, just differently configured.
People assume that the newer model, with the 4 heatpipes stacked on one end, is better but I have not seen any head to head comparison. Accoustically, the Delta 80 mm fan on the newer model is quieter at max...
Yes. I have used MAC address changers, such as A-Mac Address Change, with perfect results on a variety of machines. I have not tried it when reloading Windows operating systems since it has not been an issue for me. Of course you would need to record the MAC of the previous motherboard/NIC to...
Using an 80mm to 120mm adapter. Never tried it but it should work in principle, given there is plenty of room for a taller and larger HS/fan in my case.
I have several Yate Loon 120mm RPM sensing fans from a previous good buy with NexFan. They will do 47 CFM at 1350 RPM with 28 dB. That...
According to the reviews of the two heatsinks/fans referenced by Navid, the AVC Z7U7414001 (older model and the one I appearrantly have) with a 70mm fan runs 48.1 dB at 3500 RPM (idle?) and increases to 63 dB at 5400 RPM (full load?). The newer model heatsink/fan has a Delta 80mm fan (not...
How are you measuring fan size?
The fan is in an asymmetric plastic casing. Without removing the fan from the heatsink, measuring top outside edge to outside edge the fan is 74mm X 80mm. I'm assuming this means I have a 70mm and that the extra mm's are due to design of the fan fitting on...
This is a 4 heatpipe heatsink. There are 4 copper heatpipes, two each on opposing sides. Why do you say it is a 2 pipe version?
The reason I ask is because I am trying to figure out what I have. The heatsink has 4 heatpipes configured as the heatsink you link to. My heatsink has a 70mm...
Ok. Just talked with AMD tech support. My retail X2 4800 for socket 939 has an older version 4 heatpipe heatsink. Mine has 2 heatpipes on either side of the heatsink for a total of 4 heatpipes altogether. The newer version has all 4 heatpipes located on one side of the heatsink. The tech...
Yes. The DVD optical drive was/is a $70 upgrade when ordering/customizing a machine. My friend will get it for <$60 and I'll install it (instead of Dell).
Pretty good deal for my friend!
My friend decided to go with the recommended DVD burner, # 313-4309, costing $57 and change shipped. Comes with all cables and screws needed. Didn't ask about software since he already has burner software.
While they did not say who the manufacturer is, I'll bet it's a Samsung.
