Count me in too, please!

Just the thing to counter the overheating problems I've asked about previously (I'm changing my mobo to 775)!

Please, please count me in!!

Me too on the ASUS P5GD2-Premium Motherboard !!

Wish I had gone with LGA before - I'm having nothing but overtemperature problems on the 478 (the board, not the Prescott).

At least I'll be able to xfer the SATA drives across!

It's interesting, isn't it....I reckon the SP-94 looks really good and wish I'd known about it earlier. Zalman CNPS7000-Cu P4 HSF claim 0.20 deg/W at full noise (still pretty quiet) - 0.22 at nearly silent, whereas a reference link (testimonial) from where I purchased it suggests test figures are no...

Looked up the Koolance & Corsair - look good. But, also saw a review/test/comparison of the Corsair setup vs several others (Tom's Hardware?), which suggests the Zalman Cu fan system I'm using is not at all too shabby regarding cooling, and certainly one of the quietest! The only thing is - the ...

Thanks, capper. I'm running 'Intel Active Monitor' to keep track of fan rpms, temps, and system voltages, and kept getting over temp alarms until I did my mods. With Zalman's cpu cooler, the cpu generally stayed ok, but it was always the ambient that went offscale (exceeded Intel's spec.). When I st...

Thanks infinitevalence - Please re-direct me elsewhere if this is off-topic! Water cooling seems the best way of keeping heat out of the case - I agree with eric m. And I see no good reason why this shouldn't be incredibly quiet, if designed right. But like capper I suspect, the idea of feeding wate...

No probs, and thanks! Being early semi-retired, still working as a consultant, I'm lucky for having the time to build my own PC from the ground up (incl. flashing updated bios, firmware, etc.). Now looking for SATA 300 & NCQ upgrades! FYI, I've had some (limited) military experience. Hope Antec ...

Yes, I also don't generally recommend fiddling inside the PSU - certainly leave the HV stuff alone - you must be VERY CLEAR about what you're doing as the potential for very serious outcomes is just too great. As it happens, the 480 has an altogether separate fan drive board fitted to the main board...

Oops, sorry - I wasn't challenging your review, just putting forward some personal observations for the possible benefit of others. Perhaps more info will help? 1. Yes, & herein lies the problem of 'non-integration' for certain applications. 2. Again, I agree - but I'd prefer to know about a pro...

Whilst the NeoPower 480 is no doubt generally good, in my application (fitted in a Sonata case) I've been disappointed on several counts. 1st, the PSU and any attached fans often idle along at only about 850 rpm. OK for sound, but the low airflow results in high ambient temperatures in the case - an...
