    Pentium M CPU speed dropping blow what its supposed to

    That's interesting to hear roguerower. Did the new mobo help? And was your problem intermittent like mine? Mine stays at full speed 70% of the time, but it often drops down to slower speeds for extended periods of time. I'm on my 2nd year of a three year warranty, so I'm wondering whether...

    Pentium M CPU speed dropping blow what its supposed to

    Thanks for the reply. :) However, I don't think it is a problem in reporting, since CPU-intensive tasks such as playing videos start lagging when the CPU reports 310-460mhz. They run fine when the CPU reports 600mhz. As a result, I believe there is actually a CPU speed decrease going on here...

    Pentium M CPU speed dropping blow what its supposed to

    I have a Dell Latitude X1 that has a 1.1ghz ULV Pentium M processor. The Speedstep on this processor is supposed to jump between 600mhz and 1100mhz by modifying the multiplier between 6x and 11x. However, now I'm starting to get speeds such as 330mhz and 460mhz. The processor is not supposed...

    Need help finding a quality non-bling PSU

    For a fanned PSU, the most silent you can go is probably Seasonic. Wayyy too much SilenX in there for my liking. It also looks like you're using the marketed dBA levels from SilenX and Thermaltake. Quite simply, they're lies. A 21dBA Nexus fan is quieter than a "14 dBA" SilenX fan simply...

    s12-330 enough?

    Contrary to the previous poster, I believe the PSU should handle that just fine. The calculators that are floating around are terribly inaccurate. The most power hungry thing you have in your computer is a 6600GT, which is far from being a beast by any measurement. Athlon 64s also use up a...

    Which takes less battery?

    You'll have a significantly larger file size with mpeg2, which means more hard disk usage. This can counteract potential decreases in CPU usage by using mpeg2 over divx. This means that there wouldn't be any advantage to using mpeg2 over divx. Divx would probably be a better idea since you save...

    $1300 Computer

    If you're looking for quiet, I would suggest doing something about your motherboard choice. The DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D, if I remember correctly, has a Northbridge fan that spins at 7000 rpm. You're either going to have to replace that with an aftermarket heatsink like the Zalman NB-47J or...

    Toshiba ships 'perpendicular' disk drive..

    I don't get it. 60gb 1.8 inch drives already exist using the old "non-perpendicular" technology (just look at the iPod Photo 60GB Edition). This 40gb drive sounds like a failure to me, you'd think Toshiba would release their new technology with a bang by breaking some existing storage barriers.

    850W POWER SUPPLY

    To Psychocow: I didn't mean to direct that message at you as much as correcting the estimates on that website itself. Sorry if it sounded like I was trying to say something against you. I just quoted your post because it had all the numbers conveniently laid out. But yes, I reiterate that...

    850W POWER SUPPLY

    The PC Power and Cooling 510 should be more than enough. It was most likely a problem with the motherboard, not the power supply. Let's take Psychocow's estimates and analyze them. 110W for the CPU <-- AMD's "maximum" numbers are very conservative. The CPU will need hit 110W in any real...

    MSI offering "free upgrades" for K8N Neo 4 Platinum/SLI users?

    Skiguy411: I don't see why they would do it for non-SLI boards. It's just a chunk of hardware that helps video cards get more ventilation in SLI mode. It's stupid to have that on a non-SLI board. The Pentium Guy: When MSI says it "fastens the SLI bridge" I'm thinking "fasten" as in "connect"...

    Would these be Yate Loon fans?

    I don't think that one is a Yate Loon. I haven't seen Yate Loons come in any colour except for black and orange. I would suggest www.silentpcreview.com forums if you're trying to find hidden Yate Loons, they go searching for these all the time.

    SeaSonic S12s

    I have one and I can't hear it unless I put my ear right next to it. It's quieter than almost any fan you'll find on the market. Think Nexus 120mm fan running undervolted and enclosed in a cage. It's the quiestest power supply you'll ever find short of going fanless.

    Wich would be quiter, a Panaflo L1 or a Panaflo M and fanmate?

    The L1A should be quieter than the medium (M) speed fan at low RPMs because it was designed to run at those low RPMs.

    antec slk 3000b or p160?

    If you're an SPCR reader, I'm guessing you want quiet above all else, then by all means, of course buy the 3000B. If you're not a silence enthusiast, then the decision gets a bit tougher. The P160 has other features such as being an all aluminum case or whatever, that aren't as attractive to...

    louder: PSU, CPU HSF, VGA HSF

    You have to stick a pencil into each of your fans to see for yourself which is loudest. The best way to have a quiet computer is to use quiet components, not to try and muffle the sound using foam blocks or whatever. Buy aftermarket heatsinks/fans for your CPU and video card...

    Soltek K8T Pro 939 or MSI K8T Neo2 F MB?

    If your pocketbook is that important, then by all means, go with the Soltek. I have the Soltek K8T Pro 939 right now, and it's running fine. It really depends what you want to do with your CPU. I can't get my CPU (which is supposedly a good stepping Winchester) to go above 250 HTT, whereas...

    How much supply do I need for an a64 3400+

    That 100 watt peak number was made with dual-cores a great amount of headroom in mind. You will never push the Athlon 64 3400+ anywhere near 100W.

    Which PSU??

    You can power that just fine with a high quality 300W PSU. I'd take the Seasonic S12 430W, unless you're planning to do SLI in the future (which I doubt, since you're going with th X800XL).

    Thermaltake Thunderblade

    I find that most people say that it's dead silent have other really loud components in their system that just cover up the Thermaltake fan noise.

    120MM Fan

    Don't trust any manufacturer that states noise levels below 20dBA. SilenX "13dBA" 120mm fans are louder than Nexus "22.8dBA" 120mm fans simply because SilenX lies and Nexus does not. Another company that does this is Papst. The quietist 120mm fans you're going to find are Nexus or Yate Loons.

    Newbie : Is WinXP 32 bit worth it on a AMD64 machine ?

    justly: You cannot compare two different cores by reading their MHz. That's just like comparing Intels and AMDs using MHz. The Athlon 64 outperforms the Athlon XP at equal MHz. vinayag: Your new machine is faster, you just probably have not stressed it enough to see the difference. When...

    What is the best way to portition my hard drive ?

    The problem with this method is that if you reformat, you lose all your MP3s/videos etc... Or you'll have to burn them all or something problematic like that.

    What is the best way to portition my hard drive ?

    That's the biggest waste of space to stick 30GB for the OS. I'd say use two partitions. One for OS/apps, and one for storage. When you reformat, you'll have to re-install your apps anyways, so you might as well keep them on the same partition. It probably decreases the amount the heads have...

    Less then $1600 Gaming/College PC

    Two problems with your quest for quietness: That motherboard has an 8000RPM northbridge fan. You will have zero luck trying to quiet your PC as long as that thing is in your computer. Buy a Zalman passive northbridge cooler, and check SPCR forums for workarounds to the northbridge heatsink...

    Dont they make any non-assy cases anymore?

    Get the Antec SLK3000B and buy your PSU separately. It's very rare that a case comes with a good PSU that fits your exact needs. It's always better to have choice anyways.

    Orange fans?

    Orange fans are either Nexus or Thermaltake. Nexus are extremely quiet and run at a low RPM. Thermaltake fans push a lot of air and will make you commit suicide after going mad from the noise.

    120mm or 2*80mm fans?

    Decibels is a logarithmic scale. Each doubling of noise is approximately a 3dB increase. And yes, shabby, you are correct. I added wrong. :)
