There will always be a market for shipping many copies of static data to lots of people cheaply. Granted, online delivery will replace many of the traditional uses, but there are many it won't. What will kill disposable media won't be hard drives, it will be 500GB USB thumbdrives for <$10. That...

Yup, I agree. And I also agree that if noise isn't an issue, your configuration makes the most sense. I'm still aiming for that "silent" thing.

I've put in three calls in the last week. The only questions asked were "Is this your first time activating this product" and "How many machines is this installed on?".

Thanks Mark. In my case...er...situation, the fans are farther away. There is plenty of air velocity, but it is more important for the fins to be farther apart so that the lower pressure air can still move through it.

It is cooler this morning, so all the temps are lower, but the discrepancy is significant. Speedfan 4.35b24 is reporting Core0 to be the hottest at 67C, while Real Temp 2.7 is reporting the same core to be 62C. The coolest (Core2) is at 57C and 52C respectively. Any ideas?

Considering the numbers I was hearing started with a "B", that will buy a lot of lawyers. I don't think a recall will happen.

P5-133XL, it shows my TJ-Max as 95C in Real Temp 2.70 (new version BTW). I'll keep an eye on it next time I load up the system and see what happens. Mercutio, When I'm gaming the system sends way more power to the 8800GTS, but fortunately, that has a separate air supply to the CPU (there are...

Playing with her while she is trying to sleep means you don't get to keep her. We both have to work tomorrow. Crap.

What I read said that the mobile parts were failing first because they thermally cycled more often and had less competent cooling solutions. That just means the desktop boards will take longer to fail. If it is long enough to exceed the average lifespan, than that is fine too.

Mercutio, which CPU temp sensor hits 62C? Because my "CPU" sensor gets about that hot; only the core sensors go over 70C.

Yeah, I'm not really happy about it. Right now the HSF is a Zalman 9700 with the fan removed, I think a Scythe Ninja would work better with the more general airflow I have in the case. Is there something better than the Scythe Ninja Plus for passive cooling?

I'm running some stress testing at the moment (Encoding a movie using AutoGK while running one copy of RTHDRIBL on each monitor and a 100GB file copy from the Raptors to the large array. Power draw is around 600W sustained. Now that things have stabilized, here are the load temperatures: CPU...

I'm redoing the cooling for my system and am hoping for some feedback on my setup. Speedfan 4.35 Beta 24 is giving the following temps at idle: CPU: 40C Core 0: 49C Core 1: 48C Core 2: 42C Core 3: 43C HD1: 39C (this is actually from some part of the Seagate RAID-5 array, not sure how) GPU: 50C...

I actually read that the Inq was predicting bankruptcy for nVidia. That wouldn't be good for anybody (except Intel).

Oh, I had forgotten to turn on the "performance" mode. Make that 170MB writes. Reads are the same.

Tannin reported the same result 8+ months ago on these forums. I wouldn't be surprised. Unless a key is used hundreds (thousands?) of times, I'm sure it won't go invalid on WGA. I have experienced a single key be used 110+ times without issue.

Loving the new 10-drive RAID-5 array. Only 100MB/sec writes, but 280MB/sec reads. I'll take it.

It is still missing from mine, though I had to do a forced refresh of the page for it to take effect.

Interesting, I've eaten from roadside stands and street vendors in just about every Asian and eastern European country, but there is no way I would trust food in Mexico. ;)

That sucks. Where did you go?

I'm getting a super-speedy 4Mb down and 512k up...exactly what I'm paying for.

The only minor/permanent injury I can think of is what I deal with (my teeth). What did you manage to do?

That I didn't know. I haven't driven through there in years, and hadn't heard of any new projects.

No idea, but it did. I always have task manager running on one of my other screens to see what is using what. I wasn't watching the processes screen, but when I closed Photoshop, it dropped back to 1.2GB used (some other stuff I had open).

I'm running CS3 on Vista x64, so...maybe?

That one was very, very overprocessed in Photomatix, I kind of like the effect. The second one is more subtle.

I got your shadows right here ;) Full Size

Yup, I really need to work on queuing things for the night and then going to bed. I don't have the workflow sorted that well yet. And Photomatix choked on the 75MP image (even in "preview mode"). I'll look into working around that when I wake up. Oh, I really like this one. Or check it out...

Sure does. Stitching 32-bit Radiance images into a 76MP image burned through all 8GB and then started attacking my Raptors. It was undoubtedly disk-limited.

Sorry Handruin, I didn't know about this place when you were out. A friend just showed it to me tonight. Sweet.

I need more than 8GB of RAM; Photoshop is kicking my butt.

No new posts in 17 hours? WTF?

OK. Yes, this programs works with the settings named above. It does still show the error message when pressing either button, it isn't saving it's settings, and I'm still nervous about powering down a mounted drive, but the rest is working perfectly. Thank you so much!

Can't sleep. This sucks.

Additionally, does anyone have suggestions about what to do to be sure there is no activity to the drive when I power it down? 3Ware suggest removing the drive letter, but it would still be shared, no? How do you unmount a drive in Windows?

Yay! Have some error messages! Situation: launcher.exe copied to c:\Program Files (x86)\ Ran the app from that location Entered the following lines to the "Settings" Tab: C:\Program Files\AMCC\CLI\tw_cli.exe /c0 rescan /c0 commit Then I pressed the "Prepare to Stop Array" button and...

That's nothing, imagine a Beowolf cluster of these...it will sound like a swarm of bees from hell...

Thanks for the tip CougTek.

It doesn't max my cores on minimize, but it does consume about 12MB of memory. Not an issue (the desktop window manager alone is taking 260MB), and I have plenty, just letting you know in case that wasn't expected.

After my Russia trip, I will never again be carrying only one body to something important. I will have two bodies, likely one with the 10-22 and the other with the 75-300 as the default configuration, swapping primes and a midrange zoom into the one least likely to be useful for a situation.

Yup, but it sounds like a chainsaw.

Sounds like XP is the OS for you.

You got it Handruin. I have the CLI installed at that location, but they won't give me the API. Your application ran fine, so no need to optimize for 64-bit-ness. Everything sounds great so far.

Oh, and the CLI lives in it's default folder, at C:\Program Files\AMCC\CLI

Unfortunatly, I can't have the API. But the rescan looks to do exactly what I want, and the commit and flush commands are darn useful as well. It will probably be broken down into a "start" and "stop" sequence with a prompt "Please turn on the array" before a rescan and an "it is now safe to...

Synergy seems amazing...I'll have to check that out more.

Thanks for the heads-up Gilbo, I'll be getting on that upgrade as well...

I use a sledge, 12lb (5.5kg). One shot per drive is enough, and it effectively convinces the client that their data is secure.

Sweet, thanks Handy. It even has a right-click menu from the system tray (very cool).

That would be in a public restroom? A 'stall' as I believe they are called? In that case, no. I have, however fallen asleep in the shower and split my head on the hot water knob before hitting the floor. Nothing better than waking up in a pool of blood ;)
