I'm not too fussed about forcing the ram over 250MHz, more importantly I'm trying to overclock to 3.0GHz, so will use the memory devider of 166 if my CPU will go that high. If I understand what everyone is saying its better to use the DDR500 because that will have less issues on an overclock as...
I'm looking at G-Skill ram;
DDR500 3-4-4-8 or DDR400 2-3-2-5.
If price is a determining factor then the DDR400 is better but will it give my higher overclocking? The problem I have, is my board will have to use either 166 or 133 memory divider to try to get to 3000MHz. At the moment my...
I'm going to resurect this thread in the hope that I get some answers as to why my Western Digital 250GB Sata 2 drive constantly runs at 48-50C with ambient 19-22C. I spoke to a techie and he asked how am I measuring hdd temperature? My answer of course was using Speedfan. Howerver I couldn't...
specs are;
MSI K8N Diamond SLi
Opteron 170
2x 1GB Corsair value
250gb sata hdd
X800 Radeon 256 ddr3
Noise specs are dubious to say the least, my PSU is rated at 19dBA at 3000rpm which utter bullshit. Some of the PSU recommended are higher at 23dBA so what am I really getting?
I currently have a Thermaltake 680W PSU it has 2 80mm fans without any manual control. Its the noisest component on the PC. Choices may be limited as some of the quiet PSU's I've seen have fans mounted on top but I don't have a blowhole so this type is probably not suited and no I don't want to...
I get 32C on idle with ambient 22.5 on stock hsf. Note, i had to dissable bios fansmart so that I could have manual control over the fan speed. This is at 100%, even after dropping speed to 70% it was 33-34C.
I was having some serious problems with controllling temps when I first got the PC...
Go to the TT site, they list a 4vr controller looks like a good option to be able to control 4 fans independently, they also make another style which isn't listed on thier site but I have seen it on reseller sites.
I need to replace the oem fan or even the heatsink because my oem fan screams, its so bloody load I can't take it anymore. The fan runs at 2766rpm and overclocked 15% it can easily go to 3500rpm. Even at 2700rpm its too loud.
Is there a quieter fan available as a replacement or should I...
Yes commendable work, makes deciding on a heatsink a little easier. Now how about a similar thread on water cooling, I know I'm aiming for one one of those fanless water tower's.
Yes it does have a heatsink and fan on the chipset and even an active heatpipe cooler for the mosfets. In particular to the video card and its memory chips I would imagine a little added thermal dissipation from heatsinks sitting on top of each one would aid in cooling.
I'm even thinking of...
is it worth providing some extra heatsinks on all the motherboard and vga cards on board chips and modules? I've seen kits availble for video cards and motherboard that stick on to provide passive cooling but are they worth it if I decide to overclock.
I will have 2x 120mm case fans to move...
