Don't be rude. That goes for the other thread too (which is more about delivering useful information and less about asking questions like the other threads). Maybe if I had 12.5k posts on a tech forum, I'd be on the cutting edge of technology and could start calling other people idiots for...

K8V SE Delux + Hitachi SATA II HD's

As some of you have seen, I've done a couple of posts asking questions pertaining to my struggle.. well.. I've FINALLY made some progress and figured I should consolidate a few things and toss out some useful info. I have a K8V SE Deluxe motherboard (with 2 VIA SATA ports and 2 Promise SATA...

PCI Bus, Southbridge, and PCI SATA Adapter Card

Okay. So I have the ASUS K8V SE Deluxe motherboard. It has 2 Promise SATA ports and 2 VIA SATA ports. In my research I know that the VIA ports connect to the Southbridge and the I've 'read a lot' that the Promise connects into the PCI Bus. People are saying to use the VIA ports because...

SATA II on a SATA I Motherboard

So I've lucked out on having a Hitachi SATA II HD with a SATA I motherboard. The Hitachi HD's apparently require you to use software to lower the speed and that software first requires the computer to detect the hard drive which requires the software to get it so the computer can detect it...

Turning Off Raid 0

So I just discovered that my LaCie 1tb HD (32mb cache) is actually 2 SATA HD's raided together. My questions are... - When a raid is established, are the hard drives changed in any way? Specifically, if I pull the HD's and just have 2 standard 500gb HD's, will they work just fine or do I...

Normal processor temp?

What heat sink and fan are you using now? What's the ambient temperature like? What's your motherboard and what program (and version) are you using to get results? Do you have any case fans in your computer and if so, how are they set up?

SLK-800 ($45) with a cheap $5 80mm case fan. You will NOT regret it! SLK-800 is one of the top heat sinks.

SLK-800 vs Volcano 6cu+

Yeah, heh. To say the least, I'm very impressed <grins> I have the fan blowing air onto the heat sink. I also swapped the 50cfm fan with I think a 38cfm and the only performance loss I noticed was a few more degrees of heat under load. Seems like the HS is what does all the work here.

Guys, I know it's a no contest situation ;) ~~~~~ The results are in! Volcano 6cu+ (60mm 5000rpm fan) -> 54-57c (61-63 under load) SLK-800 (80mm 50cfm fan) -> 41c (44 under load) Yeah!!! I lapped the heat sink a little bit, though the best I could find on a Sunday at 7am was Home Depot with...

SLK-800 vs Volcano 6cu+

Welp, got in my SLK-800 today :) I'm currently using a Volcano 6cu+ with a 5000rpm 60mm fan on it. I also think I put a little bit too much AS3 on the core. I'll be putting an 80mm 50cfm Sunon on and I'll let you all know the drop in temperature. I'll probably then test it with an 80mm 32cfm...

Thermalright SLK-800 vs MCX462+T Thermoelectric

I have an idea of what you're talking about, but I'm at work so I can't check my BIOS. You can always try connecting up a 2nd power supply devoted to just them :P

For $60, I got an Antec TruePower 380 watt power supply. It does what I need it to do and I haven't had any issues with it. What you want to look at with power supplies is amperage for the different rails (look over AMD's technical docs on recommended power supplies). Also, it's better to go...

110 watts? Yikes! I'd look there for the reason on why your computer isn't powering on. There's nothing harmful about integrated graphics/sound on a motherboard, just don't expect the power you can get from a device devoted to it. If you're wanting to save money, you could probably get by with...

Motherboard is giving me problems!

The best way to troubleshoot this is to go barebones. Strip it all down until you have just the essentials required to see POST (meaning.. no hard drives, CD-ROM drives, mouse, keyboard, scanner, camera, home audio system, etc. heh heh). Another thing to watch out for is if the motherboard is...

More thoughts on HSFs... ThermalRight SLK-800 vs Alpha PAL8045 vs Swiftech MC462 Thoughts all? My thought is that I really wouldn't see much difference between any of the three. What are good fans to use? Is the competition between just Sunon and Delta?
