I have a Seasonic S12 600W as well and it's as quiet as a grave. My Nexus fans on low speed make more noise. By far the loudest single component in my computer are my HDs
That sure sounds like a dead power supply. At least that is what mine did when my PS died. I know that FrozenCPU sells power supply testers. Last month they were giving them away with a purchase of a PS, but I don't know if that deal is up anymore.
I think the moral of the story here is that die shrinks take up a huge amount of development resources and time without any boost in performance. You have to shrink the die to get better performance, that's true, but the shrink itself doesn't do it inherently. The time last year when NVidia...
I use a Nexus silent on my Si-120. Yeah, it doesn't have great airflow, but at max speed, it's dead silent. That's the nice thing about the Si-120. A little airflow goes a long way with it. I idle below 30 and peak out just over 50 when stressing.
Kae - ishi - waza. Not so hard. really.
I posted clearly and concisely why I responded to Rollo's thread. I believed (and still do) that him posting NVidia benchmarks is inappropriate without him making the strong caveat that he's on NVidia's payroll. No, I'm not a mod and no it's not my...
I'd vote for the X1900XTX as well. I've noticed that ATI has been improving the performance of the Crossfire setup via drivers since it came out. No, it still doesn't match SLI, but my gut says that with the next few iterations of drivers it will probably come close to the 7800GTX SLI...
I had overheating problems before. Every time the system rebooted due to heat it was because either the RAM or the video card fouled up and gave a HALT command to windows causing it to shut down and reboot. The 'Blue Screen of Death' if you will, but windows doesn't show you that screen any...
