New Silverstone LC13 HTPC

Does anyone have an idea when this case is due out in Europe (or the UK specifically!). Seems to have a good price in the US and looks highly desireable!!!! http://www.silverstonetek.com/products-lc13.htm Cheers.

Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI DPS (Dual Power System)

Anyone know if this actually adds anything to the Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI, apart from to its acoustics.... (I know what the blurb says, but with a decent PSU cant really see the point).

Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI Easy Tune 5

Does anyone actually use Easy Tune 5? I've installed it, and it seems like its a decent interface, however the buttons for CIA MIB and SMART FAN are greyed out? Manual says enable in the BIOS, but they already are. Anyone have a similar issue?

New nForce 4 drivers released

Update on the NCQ stuff, although I posted earlier I'd installed it, but not enabled. Just checked my device settings and its enabled by default.... Someone at nvidia must have some confidence in this version then.... nothing broken as yet!

New nForce 4 drivers released

Installed them an hour or so ago. Havent enabled NCQ yet (need a stiff drink first.....) on my Seagate NCQ drives, but have noticed that the problem I had with NAI not always starting on bootup has gone away. Alongside NVraid crashing a few mins after boot up (raid 1 system).

How To Install GA-K8N9F-9 + WinXp SATA, It Is Possible!

From a lot of posts i've seen, the current nforce4 drivers have some NCQ issues which eventually leads to corrupt data. I did have it enabled, but now removed because of this. Waiting for Nvidia to publish some nforce4 drivers on their website (which they havent done yet for some odd reason....)

Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI vs. ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe

I'd go with the gigabyte. Had two Asus SLI boards, both with problems, and you need a hefty power supply (about 18w on the 12v) for the ASUS, otherwise you get all sorts of problems. Now got a gigabyte SLI. very impressed. no issues at all. & chipset fan is quieter than ASUS!!!!

Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI & NCQ

I'd be interested to see if anyone who hasnt got NCQ drives, has this check box 'tickable' in their device manager (and they also have a NF4 ultra or sli board). Checked BIOS, nothing under Integrated Peripherals to turn on AHCI..... Sounds like there's something different between AMD /Intel...

Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI & Ntune 2.0

Anyone found the official location of the ntune drivers for the motherboard/chipset? Cant find v2 on the nvidia website, and on the gigabyte website. Best so far is the softpedia site, but its hellishly slow.

Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI & NCQ

It seems to be the same for a lot of the Ultra/SLI Nforce4 motherboards. The chipset man. talks about it in details, yet the motherboard man.'s dont seem to touch on it. Have two NCQ HDD do hope it does!

Not exactly the kind of thing that inspires you with confidence. I think I'll be moving away from ASUS and RMA'ing my boards.

New (?) problem with A8N-SLI

Tried the motherboard with an AKASA and also the TAGAN. Tagan seems to be a very good power supply. I think when the motherboard was having problems with the akasa it didnt have the current (rail) to keep going so it shut down (even though other people have it working with this board). The...

New (?) problem with A8N-SLI

How about this. Bought a new power supply, Tagan 480w (28a through 12V) so should be quite sufficient!!! Anyway, plugged in, switched on, same thing again. Though, reset CMOS and try again. Tried again..... Motherboard, near to where Cha fan connector plugs in has a resistor there, this...
