I agree. If fanless were a real solution, silentpcreview.com wouldn't have a whole site dedicated how to silence a computer.
Sounds like a messy procedure if you have to change anything. :D
I'm gradually getting to the point that I may just have to do that. Water cool that other computer, and stop it's noise, while having a silent...
Granted the computer wouldn't need water cooling for trading uses, but if you factor in trading into what else I'm doing, it changes the...
Hardware is my primary use of ET, and discussion of charting tools etc. I don't come here to talk trading tips, nor on any message boards for that...
The Intel's may remain stable to higher temps though, I've heard people run prime95 tests at 80c on i7's without lockups.
Yeah I was noticing this. On my current Asus board I have a firepro plugged into the other X16 speed slot, and it doesn't seem to slow down the...
As a side note, I tried to run a 7850, a 7970, and a 5450 in the Asus board, and it wouldn't work right. I pulled the 5450 and it worked ok, but...
Yeah, the monitors are running, but no room left to install a sound card. I'm pretty unhappy with the onboard sound. I want to add a sound card to...
Interesting. I haven't RMA'd my motherboard, but the single PCI slot died already, one day it stopped detecting my sound card that was in it, and...
Before I built this computer I had a nasty experience with AMD. My nice computer that did everything I needed wouldn't run certain new programs,...
As I suspected, Asus doesn't make a 6 or 7 pci-e X16 board. You have to go intel for that many slots. I guess in the money saving AMD market there...
I built my computer with an AMD processor, not really thinking about it since I've used them in the past. However, I've encountered a few glitches...
Yup, removed it from control panel for me too. Tool really works :)
I might also add that a FirePro 2460 should work fine on a 250W power supply. Four monitors reliably, unlike usb the adapters. Let me know if...
Here's a picture of it: [img]
Well, I ordered the biggest heatsink you can buy pretty much. The Thermalright HR-22. Hope it fits on my motherboard ok.
This should help, run it from DOS though, open cmd.exe and put the file where you can find it (I used the main C: drive). Then change directory...
Well, I decided to order a Thermalright HR-22 heatsink instead. That should keep the processor cool, especially if I push-pull it with 140mm fans.
I have a self-contained water cooler on my cpu... after looking at the risk of leaks I'm thinking even this could be a bad idea. Trading is...
