Well that is interesting information. So the next question from a novice in the area is how do I undervolt it? What voltage are these fans running on? Or is the installation of a pot-meter the most flexible way to go? Stephen

Room is appx 20 C, System temp shows 34 C, and CPU 40 C /SSO

Thanks for your prompt replies. So the Nexus 120mm Real Silent Case Fan D12SL-12 is a viable option? Cheers Stephen

Hi, I am in general very satisfied with my Thermal Take, Tsunami Dream case ... except the noise from the 2 stock 120 mm fans. I have read multiple reviews recommending changing these and now it is time. I am therefore looking for replacement alternatives to the installed fans that will...

A number of boards including ASUS A8N-SLI/Premium implements the NForce4 SLI chipset. On this board there is a NVidia RAID Controller with a theoretical transfer rate of 3.0 Gb/s. The controller can manage 4 SATA drives, and also IDE drives. With 4 SATA drives in a RAID 0 config, one could...

Thanks for pointing out the obvious to me. Thank you also for pointing me to a great site. Loads of information there... I now see that my chase of 150 MB/s (1.5 Gb/s) vs 300 MB/s (3 Gb/s) is rather irrelevant, when the best SCSI drive (Maxtor Atlas 15K II) only delivers a peak of 97.4...

I am in the process of building a new system for extremly Graphics and File intensive operation, and finding the best RAID setup for reliable data transfer. In connection with this I have been working on debugging this system. After intensive discussion with WD we have now concluded that...

I have on the above board for a week now tried to get a stable RAID 0 boot array functioning with only very limited success. I have tried both the onboard NVidia Controller, and the onboard SiI 3114 controller, but with out managing to getting a stable system. A number of errors are shown...

Have reinstalled the system now on a single HD connected to the NVidia SATA Controller. Tried subsequently to create a full image of the drive using Acronis True Image. This reported a readerror on the HD. There really seems to be a problem somewhere between the MB and the HD. Anyone...

Further info... It seems that one of the two disks drops out of the RAID 0 array from time to time. Any suggestions to why this would happen? Cheers

Hi, Just built PC with the spec below. The two SATAII HDs are set up in a RAID 0 array on the NVIDIA RAID Controller. The bios has been updated to 1007. no problem, although I had the "BS_DEF.DLL" error with the 1006 bios. NVIDIA chipset is updated to 6.66. I am running NVIDIA...

Hi, I have just finished building a new PC, amongst others with a 2x236 GB =472 GB RAID-0 C-drive. I will be installing XP32 and a few applications on this, and will thereafter use the diskspace for videoediting and TV recordings etc. The installation it self should not be more than a...

Hi, I am setting up my new PC with the above MB, and a bootable Raid 0 SATA setup. On the board there are two Raid controllers, NVIDIA and Silicon. In the manual there is nomention on what the difference between them are, so which should I choose for the setup? Any explanation and...

JEDIYoda - Thanks for your reply, but could you be more specific. After all the "peeps at AMD" have actually managed to produce quite impressive processors, and thus should know a bit about processors. I dont think they can be considered jolly amateurs anymore... Stephen
