    SI-120 and Core 2 Duo motherboards

    Hi all, I hadn't planned on moving along from my S939 FX and Opteron-based systems, but I may actually build at least one C2D soon. If I do I'd like to be able to use a (Thermalright) SI-120 in the C2D system (using a S775 RM of course). Without me having top wade though all the posts in...

    Netgear WN311T antenna lead length

    I just upgraded to the NETGEAR WNR854T and the Netgear WN311T Draft N PCI adapter. While I wanted the best performance from pairing the router and the adapter, at first I wasn't sure if I wanted to get the WN311T, because from looking at the photos of the adapter on the box and the Web the...

    PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 1K $399.90

    I went to Fry's the other day and saw that they have the Turbo Cool 1KW on sale for $399.90 without any rebates. Its' an in-store unadvertised special. I noticed that PC Power & Cooling have removed this model from their web site, as well as Newegg, so they are probably discontinuing the...

    Scythe KAMA Bay vent-hole diameter

    I know this is sort of off-the-wall, but WTF, I might as well ask... Can anyone out there who owns a (Scythe) KAMA Bay tell me the diameter of the holes on the face of the unit? I have a (Lian Li) V1000 Plus II and I'm considering getting a Silver KAMA Bay to match my case and increase the...

    "NEW" A8R32-MVP BIOS 0502

    Sorry if this has been posted, but I didn't see a NEW thread on it so here it is. Although it is dated 0502, I just saw it on Asus' web site this morning. For some reason I cannot create a direct link to the A8R32-MVP download page, but here is a link to the main download page. From here, you...

    A8R32-MVP Temps?

    I am curious as to what mobo temps you people are getting on your A8R32-MVP. I am running BIOS 0404 and typically idle at about 43C. I live in Los Angeles, so unless I have the air conditioning on or it is late at night and I have my windows open my ambient temp is usually around 75-80F. It...

    Catalyst 6.5 with ATI Control Panel!

    I saw this yesterday and didn't see where anyone else posted so I thought I'd link it: http://www.ngohq.com/showthread.php?t=6306 I never liked the Catalyst Control Center, so I downloaded NGOHQ's patched Cat 6.5s' to try them out. I had been running Catalyst 6.3, because the 6.4 drivers...

    A8R32-MVP & SI-120 ARE COMPATIBLE!

    Anyone out there running the ASUS A8R32-MVP with an SI-120? Now that I've gone with a fanless mobo I'm considering swapping out my XP-90/L1BX for a SI-120/L1BX. It is a close fit by the capacitors on the K8N Neo4 PE and it looks like it will fit on the A8R32-MVP, but the A8R32-MVP's VRM...

    A8R32-MVP Deluxe + Adaptec 29320R Compatibility

    Hi All, Is anyone out there using the (ASUS) A8R32-MVP Deluxe and the Adaptec 29320R (Retail) SCSI Host Adapter successfully? I say "successfully" with the caveat being that the PC POSTs and boots consistently. There is a serious incompatibility issue between the (MSI) K8N Neo4 PE (non-SLI)...

    K8N Neo4 PE NO POST STILL CONTINUES!!!!

    NEW EDIT 3/13/2006 Well, I am about to buy another board (ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe) in the hope that the Radeon 3200 chipset will not have the same compatibility problem with my (Adaptec) 29320R Ultra 320 Host Adapter. I haven't been able to find a nice Test Report from Asus like MSI includes...

    ATI Omega Drivers v2.46 (Release date 6/27/05)

    OK, not looking to get into a flame war here (seems many forum members have nothing better to do) but in the Halo timedemo I got a 17.5% increase in framerates from the numbers I achieved using v2.6 of the Omega Drivers.

    Temp Sensor - where to buy?

    Does anyone know where I can get a thermal sensor that I can use to monitor my GPU temp? I know this is the CPU/Processors and OC'ing section but I figure someone would use the same type of sensor for a CPU (assuming you aren't going to use the mobo CPU temp readings). I just need a temp...

    Anyone using MBM 5 and MSI NF4?

    Is anyone out there running one of the MSI NF4 boards using MBM 5? As most people know, MBM 5 is no longer supported, but MBM 5 works well on the K8N Neo2 (S939) when the version of MBM 5 for the MSI K8N Neo Platinum (S754) board is used because the boards use the same (W83627THF-A) sensor...
