    Old news - VIA KT400A confirmed

    Since the nforce was released and gained popularity I put VIA on the backburner, and reserved them for "budget" boards... meaning I'd probably get a kt266(a) and forget the 333 and 400 even existed. The kt333 and kt400 really offer little benefit over the kt266a, however boards based on them...

    bah! i see the STR option, however I can't use it... my computer suspends to RAM... but doesn't wake up... I guess I'll have to stick to Power On Standby or Suspend to Disk.

    Hardware innovations you'd like to see become mainstream

    No problem with that, the exiting air of a case is the ideal place to tell how hot a case is getting... you just have to make sure you make adjustments for whatever heat the PSU creates in addition to the heat that is inside the case so that you dont over or underpower your cooling. This can...

    2 Nforce2 or ¬ 2 Nforce2

    unfortunately there are still alot of boards using dual phase circuitry.. i would love to have a 3 phase power circuit... but i'm sure Asus saw that their board already cost more than the others, and had to cut corners somewhere... most people will never realize the difference.

    One summer, while backpacking at the national divide in Colorado, my father sat down in a grove of 3 or 4 coniferous trees. I had forgottem my hat about 1/2 mile back, so he waited while i retrieved it. When i came back he was wearing his mesh "bug suit" and was literally covered with...

    Ah, I dont think my dragon plus supports suspend to RAM... it does have hibernate(suspend to disk?) capability in winXP. Maybe my SB51G supports Suspend to RAM, however it's operating as a linux server.... so no go there... not sure about my AK32L... probably not. But even then, STR only helps...

    PSu fan death... what to do?

    Since the fan was connected to a relay I figured it might have some sort of sensing that would act as an auto cut-off switch if the fan stopped spinning, however it doen't look like this is the case. I was realy surprised that the PSU did not overheat after operating for atleast 8 hours without...

    well, after reading this page I had decided to goto Microcenter and buy a new fan for my psu... while there I started talking to a salesmen, he seemed interested in helping me, so he talked to the guy at the service desk. Aparently it had been a slow day and they had nothing better to do than...

    Holy Orangutan batman! I just looked at the back of my PSU to check out the fan and the fan was not moving! it could have been stopped all day long! I blew on it and it started rotating again... not very calming though... I'm lucky that current weather has kept it below freezing outside, and...

    I've replaced fans before.. even done a 7v mod on a noisy PSU before.. no worries. I was wondering how the Antec unit worked... it has the smart fan RPM adjustment that changes the fans RPMs automatically. I don't know if it changes the RPMs by temperature, load on the PSU, or both... And I...
