There is an option with the latest version of the BIOS now. Thanks for all the help.

I've set up a new computer that uses Nvidia's forceware NVFirewall as a the hardware based firewall. Now other computers on the network are having touble conecting to the new one. I've used the wizards to make sure the correct ports are open for the Windows Printer & File sharing. The...

Thanks for the help. I'll give it a shot.

Can information like the drive letter be edited somewhere else?

I need some help going about installing an image I made of a fresh XP Pro Install as a 2nd OS in the same machine. I know I can install in the image another partition on the drive, but how do I manually modify the boot ladder so that both OS'es are accessible upon boot? I know I can just...

Thanks for the help. I was thnking the same thing but this is in my bedroom and so noise is an issue. That was the reasoning behind the humongous HS. Guess I'll have to get another fan and many a controller to shut it down when the system is not under heavy load. Thanks

Why? Based on the temp monitors everything is running within the acceptable ranges while the system stays pretty quiet. I have tried gaming on it yet though so we'll see if I need another fan at that point. If I do need anther fan though, am I better off sticking a fan on my Very Large...

The rear exhaust fan came preinstalled in the case with the PSU. In order to get at the connector, I have to take apart a fair amount of stuff which at this point I'm unwilling to do. The psu also contoller the fan speed based on load, which is kind of useful in keeping the whole thing quiet.

ASUS has a basic configuration for PSU requirements. I also used this calculator http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/ They came out about even at 390watts Now I know that this is at full load if everthing is being used to the max, but I'm unsure of the margin I have. Maybe another...

The case fan is tied to the PSU. Case, case fan, and PSU came together

So there is no danger from underpowering components? I know the calculated specs for PSUs are conservative so when what I currently have for a system came in over by 10 or 20 watts it was not a concern. Adding another 6600gt though should add another 75watts at full load. You guys don't think...

The first thing I did was check the Bios. I have an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo. The only options I have are to turn QFan on or off and set the temp for the cpu. I still get the error message when I turn the Qfan off.

can't the case, fan, & psu came as unit and the fan is tied to the psu
