I'm planning to use one GT 1150. Given your requirements, and not knowing anything about what an acceptable noise level is for you, I'd recommend Gentle Typhoon 1150, Nexus Basic D12SL-12, Gentle Typhoon 1450. Check out this sticky.

Are you talking about this issue (scroll about half way)? If you are, they say it is rare but theirs wasn't a Rev. B and they were working with 1366, not 1156. However, if your issue is the same/similar, maybe Prolimatech has troubles getting the hole size right in general...

Thanks for the info. I actually just finished reading some stuff about the Cosmos S side fan and tall heatsinks. I'm going to see if I can rotate the fan frame after I disassemble that side door. If not, I'll wait to get a heatsink and see if I can "shave off" some of the fan frame because from...

Thanks for the replies. So megahalems, with a decent fan, should be both quieter and cooler than stock @ performance? That's a huge fan comparison there, I found a bunch of candidates!

I'm currently using the stock heatsink and fan on my i7 965, and the fan is set to the "performance" setting. I am looking for a replacement heatsink/fan that will achieve the following: 1) be significantly quieter (~10dB or more) 2) improve cooling (lower temperatures) My system: CPU...

Yeah, I edited my previous post I found it. I'm just looking for a different potential solution, because the only restore option I have is from a year ago. If I can't find anything, then I'll go with that and see what happens.

Where is the Registry Restore Wizard? I obviously missed it, but I think I've gone through all the menus (on UBCD). EDIT: I was using UBCD. Now I switched to UBCD4Win, and found it. However, it can restore my registry from 2/14/2009, which is over a year ago. No other options. If I do this...

Heh, yeah, but there's nothing in the minidump folder. I've tried looking at log viewer and that didn't show me anything, only showed things after booting into safe mode. No errors that I saw from the failed boot up attempts.

Thanks. Here is the BSOD : A problem has been detected and Windows has shutdown to prevent damage to your computer. PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA If this is the first time... (paragraph telling me to restart) Otherwise, follow steps below: <Paragraph about checking new...

Here's my story... I was running Windows XP Pro x64 with SP2. Made a new partition, installed Windows 7 on new partition. On boot, I could pick Windows 7, or older Windows OS (XP Pro x64 SP2, basically Server 2003 SP2). Worked like this for a few days, rebooted plenty of times, no problems...

Thanks for the info! Informative discussion... I kinda forgot about this thread and followed jdjbuffalo's link. Did some more investigating, and the only option for me, right now, is the Hauppauge HD-PVR, as Fallen Kell mentioned. This is because I'm in Canada, haha. No cable card from any...

DCT = digital cable terminal (set top box) Sorry, I thought it was a common term. I do want to record programs on my HTPC. Right now, my PVR does it. I plan on replacing my PVR with a plain STB. My cable company does not (to my knowledge) support Cablecard, so as far as I know, I have to use...

Thanks. I'm still a bit confused with the Ceton card. If I have a DCT from my cable company, and already get HD programming through that, and it is hooked up to my Receiver (with HDMI), can't I simply take the HDMI cable going from the DCT to the receiver and redirect it to the card I linked...

Heh, how much is a lot? For the card, couldn't I do something like this? Then I could connect my HD DCT to the card, and the card to the AVR?

I've stayed away from HTPCs for a while, but after thinking about it, I've decided I want one. I have a million questions before I start building one... Here are my goals: 1) put in a blu ray, watch it 2) put in a dvd, watch it 3) watch dvd/blu ray images from hard drive 4) record HD &...
