    AC Freezer Pro 7 High Temps

    You're very welcome. Also, check out this thread where it discusses the "bushing". The 4 chrome feet on Intel's stock HSF are NOT designed to touch the motherboard, but are elevated above the motherboard by a white bushing. Sidewinder's bolt-thru-kit does not appear to come with...

    bolt thru kits

    This bolt-thru-kit does not appear to have a 1-to-1 replacement for the white plastic bushing that is directly beneath the chrome "feet" on Intel's stock HSF. See: Sidewinder There are more photos ... here ... specifically the white bushings beneath the 4 chrome feet on Intel's...

    Different Raid channels?

    This may or may not help: http://blog.wired.com/27bstrok...8/revealed-the-in.html I cite the above, because my office is currently investigating certain accomplices suspected of scrambling air traffic control systems on 9/11, so they clearly would have a motive to retaliate. Thus...

    Please help with Backup solution

    > I like your idea very much, but what else I need to buy? For a fully functional backup server, you'll need: inexpensive chassis e.g. CM 690 (if you decide to expand) low-wattage power supply e.g. Antec Earthwatts micro ATX motherboard, LGA775, integrated graphics, GbE LAN lowest...

    Wierd BIOS/HD/CD issue...

    Isn't there an "LBA" feature that must be enabled before a native BIOS can address more than 137GB? That number -- 137GB -- sure rings a bell from my past. Update: I just used Google to search for: "137GB limit" ... and it found a TON of documentation! Sincerely yours...

    External Raid Disk Arrays For Video Editing

    I'm not familiar with the bandwidth specs of Expresscards, so bear that in mind as you continue reading ... Addonics is a good company: their Expresscard RAID controller supports 2 SATA/3G ports: that implies a MAX HEADROOM of 2 x 300MB/second = 600 MB/second: However, that bandwidth...

    WD 640 (2 of em) vs. WD/sam 1tb (1 of em)

    Maybe I just lucked out: our production XCOPY tasks run a LOT faster with RAID 0 arrays, particularly when we choose the incremental update mode e.g.: E:\> xcopy supremelaw.org F:\supremelaw.org /s/e/v/d > losing all data if 1 drive fails is not something I can live with: If...

    sata 2 controller card

    The ICH10 is Intel's latest I/O Controller Hub. I believe it must have an "R" at the end e.g. ICH10R for it to support integrated RAID with Intel's Matrix Storage Technology. Sincerely yours, /s/ Paul Andrew Mitchell, Inventor and Webmaster, Supreme Law Library All Rights Reserved...
