I know it's kind of strange to post question about prebuilt systems here but I cannot find other place with more knowledgeable people. Plan to buy a new system with well known brand, but want a raptor as primary hard drive. So the nature choice seems to be Dell XPS 620. The problem is, I also...

You need a cable with two devices connectors, like http://computergang2000.stores.yahoo.net/rounfddcab24.html http://www.mcmcabl es.com/cables/83-3435/CD-ROM

Can you share what's your voltage setup, vcore, vdimm, vMch, etc or anything else. Thanks a ton.

Re-applied AS5, now delta between coretemp and P5W is no more than 15C, 12C average.

I found that coretemp report 15~20C higher than CPU temperature reported by P5W DH Deluxe on my rig. Coretemp idle at 40C, load at 57~60C (2.9GHz, 320FSB), while P5W reports 27C idle and as high as 41C under Orthos (Prime95). I'm using Thermaltake tower112 +AS5. Many others report only about...

For those having this unit, can you feel any air outflow outside it's Honey Comb vent? I can feel nothing at all not sure if it's because my 120mm chassis fan is sucking out all the air instead. I do see the fan blade rotate just fine. Not sure if it's a defective unit.

I do have one and with medium fan setting idle at 48C and load max at 65C for X1800XT. Both about 10C drop compare to ATI stock cooler auto fan. Have a slot fan under the video card, that is, at the same side of heatsink. The slot fan sucks air out immediately. Can't remember clearly but when...

I got it at ajump, which I found from Asus's formal reseller list. They seems to use order on demand model for this, take 1~2 week to ship. I got mine right about a week. Price is lowest with free ship.

silentpcreview gives a pretty bad review for Kuformula. I thinks that's probably they installed it wrong. Myself have pretty good result on that. I also have a slot fan under that vga card. IT helps blow the air out of case, very effective in keeping your case cool.

Some argues that RAID0 doesn't increase performance because it doesn't help seek time, only transfer rate. So Raptor will help better. Anandtech has a review on this years ago. For myself I do notice the improve at least during Windows bootup and like it. Much cheaper than Raptor solution in...

Thermaltake Tower112. Big and very heavy, all copper, but it is standing well in my P5W DH Deluxe. Seldom get over 35C on my e6600. No overclock yet. But my motherboard temp get between 45~50C under load. Plan to remove the cap and put 40mm fans on NB an SB.

Checkout how people do here. Best solution is probably put 40mm fan on NB/SB. Look at the post in page 11 by Jimpo. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=106563&page=11

It's correct that Retail provides far better warranty vs OEM. But ever since there is an IBM PC, I did replace hard drives and other components for PCs a few times, but I don't recall replacing a CPU. Note that most of the RAM has life time warranty. CPU has, from my point of view, similar...

My e6600 with Samurai Z cooler in Tsunami case, I also enable SpeedStep that put multipler to x6 instead of default x9 when not loaded. 30C idle 42C under load. It's in a cool morning. If ambient temperature is higher than both might increase about 3C.
