I just meant I'd like to see the comparison between your old scores and your new scores...

 

[THUGSROOK]

oh!
well the benchmarks arent much different.
i didnt go the cas222 @2.9v route cause diminishing returns make it not really worth it over 2.5-3-2 @2.6v.
im also running 80agp/40pci so i couldnt really give it an apples vs apples benchmark comparison anyway.
(that means i didnt bother to keep the old results)

as for my "scorecard" ~ i went from 223 stable to what now looks like is going to be 225 stable.

 

[Mikki]

Gotcha...no worries, I was just curious... 225fsb, huh? You're killing me Thugsrook, you're friggin killing me...

[Mikki]

Thugsrook, have you finished stability testing yet? Good at 225fsb?

 

[THUGSROOK]

ummm, as usual i got side tracked playing around with a new stick of ram

 

[Mikki]

<CRACK of whip> Get back to work!!

Hehe...care to fill us in?

 

[THUGSROOK]

those results will be posted in the "XMS 6 (7) stick shootout" thread......

[Mikki]

[THUGSROOK]

p4g8x ....eventually

if it ever gets a 225fsb bios ill have 7600mb of (potential) bandwidth :Q

Just curious to how quiet your fan is to a Panaflo L1A?... or have you ever tried it with an L1A?

 

[THUGSROOK]

the panaflo M1A is barely any louder then a L1A.
L1A doesnt quite push enough air for me.

L1A = 24cfm 21db
M1A = 32cfm 28db

the M1A is worth 2*C on my system.

 

[LastRide]

I run a Panaflo "High" 39cfm.Its runs fairly quite.The only problem is it doesn't support fan monitoring.

 

[THUGSROOK]

the panaflos are really nice cause there is zero motor noise.
the only noise you hear, is air

(which of course is only half as annoying as motor noise)

 

[SinfulWeeper]

Currently I use a Vantec Stealth. But I want to get more CFM's without the noise, but dont know of any goos alternatives... well maybe if I throw out that western digital drive things may quiet down...

Well just wanted to thouch base, I keep this conversation up it it may be moved to the cases/cooling forums
