    Some of the new Antec cases are in at NewEgg

    The side panel is the same one as the SLK3000B. The front panels, however, leave somthing to be desired. I'll wait for the P-180 or save a bit more for a Lian-li...

    Anyone who owns a Gigabyte GA-k8nf-9

    For some odd reason, I'm just not comfortable with a NB that's too hot to touch. Take a look at my ghetto solution to get some air over the Passive NB HS. This also solves the problem of what to do with all of the stock AMD HS fans I have lying around. Now if only I could find something...

    Returning DFI Ultra-D

    Mobo gurus: what do you think is the most stable 939 mobo out there?

    This is merely apocryphal, but over the past 2 years, I've built over a dozen systems with the MSI K7N series and haven't had one complaint. Most of these systems run in office environments, 40 hours per week. I'm not a fanboy by any stretch, as I choose my builds based on research of...

    MSI Tech Support -- Kudos!

    Perhaps I did. Your post regarding them calling back seemed to portray them as inept, since they did not understand an issue which was clearly defined previously. I'm glad that you've had a positive customer service experience with MSI. I've built many systems on the K7N2 board and they've...

    GIGABYTE GA-K8NF-9 experiences

    I've had many problems with the N-vidia hardware firewall on both the Gigabyte (NF4) and Epox (NF3) boards. The configuration options are limited, the interface is cludgy and hard to set up and it has many performance and compatibility issues. I'll just stick with the DLink 804HV hardware...

    Ultra-D - how to install 2 drives (CD + DVD)

    Helpful post, there tripp 17... Leepark, you'll do fine with both drives on one IDE port. Performance wil be indistinguishable from 2 ports and you'll save on cable clutter. Just set one to slave and the other to master, ensuring that the master goes on the end of the cable. Also ensure that...

    MSI Tech Support -- Kudos!

    No experience with anyone's tech support whatsoever, as I've never even attempted to use this "service" and have always assumed it to be entirely useless. I've always gotten excellent responses from forums through the years and rely entirely on posting and googling for all technical issues...

    A8N-SLI Motherboard

    I would suspect that this problem is unique to the A8N, as I've built several Nforce4-based systems on other boards (non-Asus) without encountering this problem. The installation sequence mentioned by babyjocko may be required for only the Asus A8N, as it is contrary to the sequence I have...

    DFI Lanparty Ultra-D, ports...and GIGABYTE GA-K8NF-9

    Strictly apocryphal, but the last system I built, which was based on the Gigabyte board with an A64 3000+ and Corsair value select PC3200 RAM, was a breeze to set up and (even though you mentioned that you've no interest in overclocking) overclocked beautifully. Performance and build qualtiy...

    any Dual CPU & SLI boards out now?

    Man rpsgc, that is one sweeet board! I've been waiting for Tyan to release their Nforce Pro boards for quite a while now and now that they're out, I must say that they've exceeded all my expectations in terms of the specs. Although Tyan is not much of an overclocker's board, with this much...

    Finally down the MotherBoard Stretch

    The BFG is an AGP card; "Bus Type AGP"- The PCI express bullet is simply wrong. All sites use the manufacturer's boilerplate text, thus the proliferation of this error.

    GA-K8NS-939 + Winchester 3000

    Whoops, sorry K8NS, K8NF, so close... In terms of settings, I'd say that the NF3 chipset should overclock just as well, as I've set up many Epox boards with it and have had similar success. As I mentioned in the previous post, this is a very mild OC for this chip. Folks are getting much...

    SLI and the Scam behind it

    Actually, I've found PCI graphics cards inferior in terms of text clarity, color saturation and hue accuracy and overall 2-d performance. Even the better matrox cards have never held up well compared to even mid-range AGP cards. Since, in my work environment, a given monitor in a span may be...

    SLI and the Scam behind it

    Say what you will, bash as you may. I'm with Nanobaud on this one. The enhanced productivity I'll realize by running 3 monitors over 2 video cards will pay for the cost difference between an SLI and a non-sli board within one hour. Terribly wealthy? Hardly. I don't think US$100 equates to much...

    Gigabyte(nForce4) GA-K8NF-9 Review

    Just finished building this system, and I have to say that I'm impressed. Had to research a little bit, as I couldn't at first recall the ctrl+F1 bios trick, but after that, overclocking on this board was very easy: CPU Model Number: ADA3000DIK4BI Core Description: Winchester Current CPU...

    amd 64 versus 32 bit boards

    Not quite true. There are several other features as well including 10USB 2.0 ports. Most of the features, such as SATA II are "future proofing" but given the relatively small cost difference between NF3 and NF4 boards, I would consider the NF4 the better value. Insufficient emphasis is...

    amd 64 versus 32 bit boards

    The neo plat is a good NF3 board, but I still maintain that you should go for an NF4. You'll get a much richer feaure set plus support for pci-e. Unless you've recently upgraded your video card, this will provide an opportunity (or excuse if you prefer) to make the transition from AGP.

    amd 64 versus 32 bit boards

    You will see a noticable improvement over your current setup The 64 bit extensions aren't the issue as much as the overall architecture. With an on-die memory controller, massive memory bandwidth and a much more efficient overall design, the A64 processor is able to seriously outperform the...

    VNF4 Ultra & A64 3000+ Overclock (Stable at 290 HTT, 2.61GHZ), BUT.....

    Your math looks correct as fasr as I can see and 2.4 should be a realistic overclock for this chip with adequate cooling. I'd go with some twinx ram if I were you, however. The cost is not that much more (using Corsair as an example here), and you'll likely have better luck with xms if you're...

    AGP vs. PCIe

    I can relate, kouch. My AXP 2600+ @ 2.4 ghz with W/C, a Tyan 9600 Pro and 15K cheetah still performs quite Satisfactorily, even though it's almost 2 years old. It's just the promise of a three-monitor setup that has me salivating over the NF4 chipset, and with the news that ultra boards...

    GIGABYTE GA-K8NF-9 Please Help!!!

    First, what thermal paste are you using? If you are using a metalic paste like AS-5, keep in mind that it is conductive, so you need to be sure it does not get on any components. If you're using the stock white paste, it's not such a problem if it gets on other components, but I'd recommend...

    GIGABYTE GA-K8NF-9 Please Help!!!

    There should be a jumper for clearing the CMOS; you'll move it from the default position and then back again afer you've removed the battery. Please consult your users manual for location and procedure.

    GIGABYTE GA-K8NF-9 Please Help!!!

    So let me get this straight... Did you not use the standoffs (the hexagonal brass units) when you first mounted the board? Are you using them now? If you just screwed the board onto the tray with no standoffs, then you shorted the board and cannot ethically return it, as the board would...

    AGP vs. PCIe

    I'd predict that within 2 years AGP will have achieved that same status that ISA enjoys today. The extra cost is, IMHO, well worth it.

    DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLi-D Motherboard?

    I've not used the Antec P160 nor the sonatta, but I've built dozens of machines using the Antec SLK3700AMB and BQE and have found the case design excellent. The last 4 machines I've built have an overclocked socket 939 Winchester 3000+ with a Thermalright XP90 HSF. I use the stock antec...

    Problems with AMD64 Zalman 7000 / Antec P160 install...

    Your case temp is a bit high, but that alone probably does not account for the temps you're seeing on your CPU. Try removing the heat sink, cleaning both it and the cpu thoroughly with acetone, then apply AS5 as per the directions. Generally, if your CPU is >20F above your case temps, your HSF...

    Elastic suspension of hard drives.

    The machines I build using the antec SLK3700 series cases (rubber drive mounts) are without exception without discernable drive noise. At around US$53 for the SLK3700AMB, it's a very inexpensive upgrade, as you also recieve the noise-reducing benefits of 120mm case fans.

    Does anyone run an NF7-S with the northbridge fan unplugged?

    FWIW, When my fan started making noise, I disassembled it (no need to remove the m/b) and put a tiny bit of SAE30 motor oil on the ends of the fan shaft, reassembled it and it's been running quiet and happy for the last 8 months. You may wish to try this until your new one comes in.

    IDE vs. SCSI reliability

    One option I've not seen suggested in this thread is the WD raptor 72G drive. It is an enterprise-class drive with TCQ, 10,000RPM rotational speed, a 5-year warrantee and is approximately 1/2 the cost of a SCSI solution. With the savings realized, you'd be able to afford the requisite SATA...
