New 120mm thermaltake fan and some cold cathode lighting. The fan was supposed to go on the side panel of my case, but that monstrosity of a CPU cooler wont allow it. So I velcro'd it to the psu... eh..

bottom? oh, i think i see what you're saying. you have the TRUE mounted horizontally, right? so that a fan can mount on the bottom and the top? i was going to mount mine vertically...although now that i think about it, horizontally might be best. that 200mm fan should do a pretty good job. damn though. i was hoping i could run a push/pull config, or at least a push instead of a (double) pull.TheEternalPessimist wrote:

Yeah, horizontal is deffinatly best in a 900, the 200mm does a great job with it and the rear fan is really close to the side of the fins so it helps a fair bit too. I tried it with a fan on top to pull air through but it did literally nothing and it was a 70CFM fan, temps didnt even drop 1*c, would still like to put one on the bottom and push some more air, it gets quite warm under stress testing, it's cool enough during gaming though, about 50*c @ 3.2Ghz, stress testing it hits 65.
You'll probably want to lap the cooler, they tend to have quite poor bases, I didn't bother with mine as I have no intention of going for a high OC, 3.2 still beats 99% of people loading into the games I play.
EDIT: Quick tip for it too, find some med sized washers, put them under the mounting clip on top of the base block, gives it a MUCH tighter contact, you can spin it around otherwise due to the sprung screws it uses not pushing as hard as they really need to.

i did in fact lap mine to 10 micron. that's disappointing though. i don't think the rear fan being close to the side of the fin array will help, btw. in fact, i've seen a couple TRUEs out there with metal shims on the side to prevent leakage of air through the side, keeping airflow strictly front --> back. i might ghettomod something up, whether it be a way to mount a pushing fan, a couple shims for the side of the TRUE, or both.TheEternalPessimist wrote:

edit: right, i've heard about the washer mod. everything's ready to go for this weekend.

Air through is air through, I've tried with and without fan, there is substance in that argeument though, if you have too much airflow at the side it does disrupt things, I had that 70CFM fan I mentioned earlier on the back and temps were 55 or so while gaming, undervolted it and they dropped to 53 or so, so I replaced it with a much prettier but less efficient ~44CFM fan and it sits around 50*c. With no fan it goes back up to 55.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
This is the E5200 of monitors. If it breaks after 3 years I'll just get a new one. If it breaks before that, I'll RMA it. No need to spend double on a Samsung that I'll replace anyhow in a couple years

I'm guessing with a USB monitor you need to install drivers for it with a standard monitor before installing then it just kicks in after windows loads from there on it, or does if have a DVI/RGB cable and the USB is just for the touch screen capability?Scratch[USA] wrote:

I love my car to bits, but it is getting old, fitting a PC in it may be a bit of a waste of time, I've almost sold it 3 times to get something newer, can't justify selling it yet though, there's nothing wrong with it, I just want new and shiney stuff
