[Kottre]

i just put my system together and i am still working out the bugs.

antec 1030/1040blk w/330ps
msi k7t266 pro 2-ru
amd xp1800+
maxtor 60gig hd
plextor 24/10/40 cd-rw
lite on dvd
geforce 3 ti 500
audigy gamer
512 crucial ram
windows xp os


the lite on dvd is pretty loud and when it spins up fast it sort of vibrates. has anybody experienced this?

this is my first home built compiter. how do i bench test my system to see how it running?? Also are ther e any tweaks i can do to improve performance??

I have had horrible experience with LiteOn DVD (not CDRW), if it makes a crunchy sound its bad. If its just a loud but turbine like whine its ok.

 

[Kottre]

it is a turbine like whine

Sorry man, I know their CD-RW's rock, but haven't heard anything about their DVD drives. Maybe you should return it if you can and get a Toshiba or something that is known to be good.

And nourdmrolNMT1, do you have ANY idea what you are talking about? His case rox, and the board is a good board.....I have one myself and haven't had a lick of issues.

Is it the 16X DVD? (LTD163)


That's the best DVD drive along with the Pioneer DVD-106S/116...

the 52x CD-rom does the same thing except for the vibrating part well maybe a lil bit but there is a hydro bearing or sumpin that is what makes the high pitched part!

Any other terms that sound like the "crunchy" drive? Mine makes some very weird noises and I would not be surprised if it was bad.

I just recieved the LTD 163.......it's very quiet and runs everything fine , without any "whine" or "crunchy" noises.


It could be your model, but just going by the one I have , it doesn't make that noise.

I replaced the CDROM drive by "Memorex".......now THAT was a loud drive. The Lite-on model I have is MUCH quieter.

I've put together 2 systems w/ it lately and I can also attest to it being a loud drive. Can't really complain about hte performance though...great drive and would definately recommend it.

I have a Pioneer 16x DVD, Toshiba 16x DVD, and two LiteOn 16x DVDs that I work with. The LiteOn drives are much quieter than the other ones.
