Over the last 4 months i have been doing incremental changes to my 2006/07 PC (MSI K8N Dianmond/4800+/X1900XTX) to silence it, without water cooling. This was from realising how loud it gotten since using my quad core PC i built in November, 8 fans its virtually silent! So i first replaced...

Yeah i have never overclocked the 4800. would be nice to completely passive cool the CPU, but the Orochi is more expensive than the Noctua NH-U12P which i use for my Q9550! thanks for the info.

Hi, my old PC 2006/07 is still used regularly, but sounds like a hair dryer compared to my silent Quad Core PC i built last November. I replaced the NB fan a few months ago with a passive low profile cooler. Now i want to replace the stock cooler on the X1900XTX with a Zalman VNF100...

ah, great thank you.

hi, I bought a mains to dc power supply with 6 different connectors. While all the connector plugs are marked with - and + each side, the female connector just has "TIP" on one side. Does anyone know the correct way round these should go? I dont want the wrong polarity wrecking my circuit...

Well i put my X1900XTX Graphics card from my old box into thenew machine, then played DOOM3 for about 45 mins and Obliv for 40 mins. No crashes or artifacting. Although that has only the single PCIe power connector, rather than the duel one on the HD4870. It does seem that the problem is fairly...

Hi Chaps, the two 6 pin power cables run off seperate rails, and have nothing else attached to them. I did try DOOM 3, alas it crashed too. Latest Vista patches, latest firmware revision, second update of Obliv and updated the ATi to 8.11 or whatever it is :(

oh cool thanks for the link, i would rather keep the NB passive than buy an expensive block. hmm i might just unplug that system fan see if it really has that much effect. cheers

I have recently upgraded and built a new PC, but i am going keep my old PC and possibly watercool it. On the K8N Diamond board <Click>, at the top right hand corner there is a long rectangular heat sink with what looks like a sink heat pipe, and attached to the end of it is a small fan...

hi I want to soft code a file path, in case the path changes later. So at a later date you can edit the xml file and change the path to point to where the file has been moved to I know you can create an xml file in aproject which can pass it to the VB code. some pseudo code jibber...

ok great thanks.

am i right in saying that pal / ntfc encoding is irrelevant on monitors? so ntfc encoded dvds should play correctly? (forgetting about region locking etc) i have a dell 2407WFP.

im hoping some good at electronics :rolleyes: can help me with this, why is good linearity a desirable in VCOs? ok so i know the frequency and voltage are inverse proportional but that's not really an answer.. thanks for any help :)

heh £330 i wish. yeah thought it would be something like that. should have ordered mine this morning, have to wait until Monday now! thanks :)

i just bought a Dell 2407WFP (och my wallet), but i only noticed on the order complete form that its "Midnight Grey". is it the same as the product picture, ie black? thanks.
