*** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

Ah, I see. I think I'm actually just going to not use the Fan Mate 2 at all, since ATITools controls my fan speed depending on my GPU temp, so thanks anyways! =)

*** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

There IS a connector on the video card, but the manual also states for you to plug into the motherboard if you want to connect the Fan Mate 2, which would be ideal. Here is it's manual (go to step 8): http://www.zalman.co.kr/Upload/product/vf900_eng.PDF I was just wondering if it's ok to...

*** Official ASUS P5W DH Thread ***

Quick question: Just bought a Zalman VF900-CU for my video card, and the 3-pin fan connector for the cooler should go into which 3-pin connector on the mobo? CHA_FAN1/2 or PWR_FAN1/2? Or none of those? =P Thanks!

Sapphire X1950XT Temperatures?

Wow, that's hot. It's just that 3D View in ATITools alone brings it up to ~90C, but FFXI goes to 71 highest. Those Zalmans are sounding nice, but I'll try the housefan method first.

Sapphire X1950XT Temperatures?

Hmm, yeah the temps do worry me. I shut down my PC, took off the side panel to my case, put all the case fans up to High (from Medium), and it's now idling at 61-63 heh. =( I opened 3D View in ATITools and it went up to 90, so I'm not sure exactly why it's getting so hot. No OC, no tweaks or...

Couple P180 questions

1) Hmm, plug it in where, though? I included the picture of the mobo to hopefully have someone point out where. =P This is now the only thing that is left to be done. 2) Yeah, I came back up here to edit my post because I figured it out (didn't even see the bag of rails heh), then I saw your...

Couple P180 questions

Currently building my PC, and I'm almost done all the hardware assembly, but a couple things are stumping me. I just can't seem to find where the audio mobo connectors that come with the case go on the mobo! Sure, I guess they're only the front two audio ports which I won't be using, but I...

Oh wow, so the thermal compound actually spreads itself out heated? That's good to know, I guess!

Scythe Ninja Installation

Hey there, I'm currently building my new PC, and as I was about to attach my Ninja to my CPU, I saw the tube of thermal compound out of the corner of my eye. Sure enough, my E6600 stock HSF comes with a pre-applied substance, however the Ninja does not. Unfortunately the instruction...
