    Pics of my new Antec P180!!

    Hey guys I'm sorry I haven't posted my pictures yet, but I am having some technical difficulties with my system right now. It seems that my new RAM doesnt work well with my motherboard, so right now I'm in the process of troubleshooting my system to see what exactly the problem is and if I have...

    Pics of my new Antec P180!!

    To be honest I like the Ninja because its definately the best heatsink to use passively, but its downfall is the size and installation process. The Ninja is huge, and takes up alot of space inside your computer making it difficult when you are working around inside your PC. It get in the way...

    Really? I have had many Zalman coolers so far, and I haven't had any problems with whininess from any of them. I agree they are loud when running at 12v, but once you lower them to 5v they have never been noticable to me, unless my ear is right by the case. I guess I'll find out tonight...

    Well of course... but I will be hooking up the Zalman to my fan controller and running it at 5v all the time except for when I'm gaming. So it shouldn't be too much louder than my Ninja with the Yate Loon (orange) running on it.

Well to all the fans of my setup, I am sorry to announce it is changing a lil bit as of tomorrow. I have gotten a few upgrades, and of course once it is all set...

    Question abou Dual Channel RAM abilities

    I am considering purchasing this new OCZ Platinum EB ram, but I want 2 sticks (2GB) in Dual Channel form. I was searching Atacom.com which seems to have the cheapest price. But my question is. I noticed that a single stick is $146, and the dual channel set is $308. I wanted to know if I...

    New ThermalRight HR-01?

    well according to there benchmarks, I dont think so. On page 5 they show 63C @ 1.4v and 1.8Ghz A64. 65C is the max temp listed on the AMD website, so I would definately say this is not recommended to use passively. If you want passive, I say go with the Ninja. I am running 2.6Ghz @ 1.55v...

    The fans are hooked up to my fan controller... So I adjust them accordingly.

    Pics of my new Antec P180!!

    I had taken pics with the sidepanel off before, they are somewhere in this thread. First I had CM LED fans, I went with the Yate Loons to replace all of my LED fans. The Yate Loons are an excellent fan, but I do not like the fact that they are orange, and even more I don't like the fact that...

    It's a Scythe Ninja... And depending on the ambient temp of my room, it usually gets between mid 40's to mid 50's running fanless, and I am overclocked to 2.6Ghz @ 1.55v

    Pics of my new Antec P180!!

    I never considered painting... Not really something I wanna do cause I like the color it is already. Although it would be cool if the aluminum was polished or something so it would be shinier. But I doubt I will modify it. And that would be nice to get a job @ one of those companies...

    Pics of my new Antec P180!!

    If you were worried about the wires being scrapped and possibly causing a short, then i guess you could always sleeve the wires that are ran underneath the mobo, or even use electrical tape to cover them up for added security. But I don't really think its an issue, cause its not like ur moving...

    Pics of my new Antec P180!!

    I was pretty shocked myself also. And you are right it does go to show how well the P180 does for cooling. And hitting 2.6Ghz at 1.55v and still hitting under 50C sometimes under full load (if the AC is on). If the AC is off I gett around 3-4C higher which is still in the low 50's. I can't...

    So which part is ricey? I would assume your talkin about the LED's. But if you are then I guess you need to take a look at my most recent pictures. In those pics I have no LED's or cathodes at all.

    Pics of my new Antec P180!!

    I have the 4pin extendered installed, but i havent had any time recently to take any pictures. I promise as soon as I get some time i'll get around to it. But for your information the extension does not fit under the motherboard. The connector on the cable is too thick to sit the...

    I didn't get the extender yet. It'll be here on Tuesday. And yes I'll take some pictures after I get it installed. :)

    What is the quietest case fan?

    15CFM?? You might as well not even use a fan then. That is horrible airflow. You couldn't cool anything with that.

    Antec TP-II 550W with messy cables!! I'm so angry!!

    Yea well I'm glad I got them detangled, cause spending $230 on a PC P&C woulda killed me. I was trying to save money. And the Antec was only $80 after rebate. So I can't beat that. The PC P&C might be a great PSU, but its wayyyyyy more than the Antec.

    Antec TP-II 550W with messy cables!! I'm so angry!!

    Actually it wasn't hard, it was just long and annoying. I wish I would not have had to do that. But I guess I should be happy since I saved so much money since I didn't send it back and get a PC P&C 510 SLI. That woulda broke my wallet.

    I notice alot of people need help, and are PMing me with all kinds of questions. To make things easier just PM me with your AIM, Yahoo, or MSN name, and I can contact you on there. It makes it easier to explain, rather than typing out a whole long msg in PM's.

    I switched because I needed a PSU to support my future 7800GTX SLI Setup. And since the Antec was on Sale I decided to get it now. I got it for $79.99 shipped AR. And you didn't miss anything in this forum. I posted in the General Hardware forums about the Antec, and how pissed I was...

    Hey I went ahead and ordered that Athena 12v extension. Since I didn't really need the ATX 24pin extension, I decided not to get the Silverstone, even though its nicer since it has black connectors. And I guess if you want more pics, I can take some later on, or I can just take them after...

    Okay well after all that bitching, I managed to get the power supply untangled without ripping the seal on the case to the power supply, so my warranty won't be voided. I got all the cables to come out neatly, and in a straight forward fashion like how it should be. I installed it into my...

    Antec TP-II 550W with messy cables!! I'm so angry!!

    Yea I was already well aware of the Seasonic's short cable lengths. Thats the reason I didn't get it. And thanks for the compliments on my wire job. :) The fans in my case are Coolermaster 120mm Silent UV fans. You can get them at www.SVC.com for $6 each.

    Antec TP-II 550W with messy cables!! I'm so angry!!

    It's not that long to me... My Coolermaster RP450 has some LONG cables. And I love it because its perfect for hiding cables, and completing excellent cable management. If I had a full tower, the cables in this Antec would be even harder to manage since the case would be taller.

    Antec TP-II 550W with messy cables!! I'm so angry!!

    I know everyone here will probably disagree, but I think I'm going to get the Coolermaster Real Power 550W. It's the only power supply that is closest to all my requirements. It has enough power for an SLI system. Even though it does not have two PCI Express connectors on board, it will...

    Antec TP-II 550W with messy cables!! I'm so angry!!

    I guess you didn't read my original post thoroughly. I already know that Seasonic has good ones, but the short length of the cables is an issue for me. Also I don't really like how the cables are twisted, but thats not as big of a problem as the shortness of the cable length.

    Antec TP-II 550W with messy cables!! I'm so angry!!

    Well I didn't get a bad power supply as mine isn't defective (at least I don't think. I havent even plugged it in yet.) It's just the cables are a hot mess, and I have to reorganize them all in order to have it neat. Antec really screwed this power supply up big time. I feel like a bunch of...

    You do realize that SLIzone.com is nVidia's site designed specifically for SLI updates. Which means you are saying that nVidia is putting invalid requirements for there products on there own website. Also you do realize that amps and watts are different. The Antec TP-II 550W has more amps...
