Vantec Nexus Fan Controller NXP-201 @ Xoxide

Mine makes absolutely no noise. Even if i put my head right up to it I hear nothing. I do have a loud system but even so. The one thing i do notice is it only cuts down my system noise a little bit. however, if i crank up the power my fans actually get louder than they used to be. Is this...

Case and fans question

As far as a simple answer: yes you really should get 2 more case fans. The fans on your power supply are really only for the supply itself. The standard layout is at least 1 fan in the bottom front (blowing in)with the other in upper rear(blowing out). The heat sink fan on your proc wont do...

Asus P4S8X and A7N8X (asus 648 and nforce2) when?

Yea the atacom thing was a big stupid mistake. I decided to go with the VIA p4pb X400 bc i have to order my board now. I think im going to get the VPSD bc i havent been able to find out much about any differences between it and the soltek board other then slight differences in price and that...

P4S8X worth it?

Sorry misunderstanding. None of these boards (from via or sis) can run ddr400 w/0 ocing. Although they never claimed to officially run ddr400 they hyped unofficial support with their reference boards at stock speeds. However none of the retail boards have been able to run ddr400 stock. Its...

P4S8X worth it?

Where did you hear this? I just assumed that none of either the SIS or VIA boards could run DDR400 bc it was just a marketing gimick, not a tech problem. In any case it prbly doesnt help me much bc my dad called me from the office and told me i have to order one tonight. Damn i wish i knew...

P4B-533E onboard sound vs soundblaster live 5.1 OEM?

Based on ur newest post i think you have already figured out where but if ne one else sees this, they have the board at ATACOM.com. Be sure to check out resellerratings though cause these guys do not come highly rated.

P4S8X worth it?

Im in the same boat as you. I think im just going to go ahead and get the p4s8x on the hopes that it will be better then the sr7-8x. I really want to have the 8x agp bc im planning on getting an NV30 or 9700 at some point and the extra bus speed should future proof me somewhat. NE way, why...

P4B-533E onboard sound vs soundblaster live 5.1 OEM?

Bump for a similar question. I believe I am getting the P4s8x tomorrow (thnk god someone has it) and i was wonder how its onboard 6 channel sound compares to my dell SB live value that I was going to transplant. Im pretty sure that a value sucks but i have decent speakers (altec ada885 4.1's)...

Asus P4S8X and A7N8X (asus 648 and nforce2) when?

Who fing cares lol i want my damn board. WOOOT. Uh, I mean how do we know that this board will be any better than the SR7-8x? I mean it cant be worse lol but does asus have a generally better record for OCing? The 6 chnl audio is nice though i wish it had raid too. Is the 6 channel better...

Asus P4S8X and A7N8X (asus 648 and nforce2) when?

Well hardocp.com put up their SR7-8X review and it didnt come out that well. Good performance at DDR333 but no OC'ing at all, AGP8x doesnt freaking work, and DDR400 is of course either non-functional or slower then DDR333. Well crap, i dont know if i can wait for the p4s8x bc of going back to...

Abit SR7-8X?

jkresh, look for the past 2-3 pages in the mainboards forum. We have a 30 some odd post long thread about the sis 648 boards that includes several posts from people who actually purchased the board. What the consensus seems to be is that the board is fine for general use, has pci/ agp locks...

Questions about the Aluminum "Antec 1030 clone" in the YELLOW Color

I got the blue version of this case from newegg. Very light, good paintjob and damn good looking. I havent used it late as i am still deciding on a mobo. I also bought one of the black steel ones that are basically the same thing for my gf's brother's comp. It had a dead PSU which took...

SIS 648 motherboards?

LOL. Sorryfor the miscomunication Evan Lieb, when i pointed out the amd3d review as positive i should have said "generaly positive". I was just trying to help people out by pointing out one of the few other reviews out there and that they liked the soltek board (other then the lack of DDR 400...

SIS 648 motherboards?

Evan thank you for your response and your article. Unfortunately i was originally planning on buying an IT-7 mobo from abit so I have all my parts purchased except for a mobo and processor. So basically I am stuck with my Corsair cas 2.5 XMS 3200. Thus I have three choices (in a macro sense...

SIS 648 motherboards?

Just a little help and request for some for myself if anyone out there is in the know (or very opinionated). The abit SR7-8X went out of stock at newegg but they just posted under the "in stock" option that they are expected to have more of these boards as of the 9th of this month. This is...

Corsair XMS 3200 CAS2 Shipping Tomorrow

Damn Cas 2. I got my 2.5 XMS 3200 a few weeks ago right before the prices skyrocketed from 175->230 for a 512 mb stick at newegg. Of course now none of the retail sis 648 or via p4 X400 boards will run in DDR 400 and no one actually has them in stock :( . Oh well im sure youl have youll have...

Abit Sr7-8X or Asus P4t533

Based on early reviews I would recomend the sr7-8x. Originally I was waiting for the via x400 but when the reviews of the sis 648 came out they showed great potential. Running at DDR 400 (which the x400 is having problems with) the sis 648 performs very close to rambus equipped rigs and in a...

VIA P4PB 400 MB

The features advertised on this board are very attractive. DDR 400 support, agp 8x, USB 2.0 etc. However I have been unable to find very much out about this mobo outside of the initial press release from via and 1 review posted on legion hardware. It also has been nearly impossible to find...
