Asus P3V4X w/ 384MB PC100 RAM P3B 1000Mhz/133 w/ Alpha heatsink (NEW!) Voodoo5 AGP (NEW!) Linksys Gigabit Ethernet (NEW!) LSI i4 MegaRAID w/ 2x 15GB Deskstars in RAID0 TB Santa Cruz w/ DB50XG 56x CD-ROM + 1.44MB Floppy Fearfully, though I think I need a new PS since my fans are warbling a little bit. I have one more thing I'd like to change WRT the HDD's, but at a cost of $80 it will have to wait until my other projects get roundabout finished. The elliptical fin heatsink is on the i4 card b/c the chip gets HOT!!!

The Core 2 machine in my sig has 2 250GB Barracuda 7200.10s in RAID0, it was a speedy little setup. For some reason we have 2 old PCI raid cards in the house; I should grab a matching pair of old 10GB drives or something for my Win98 rig... _________________ Pegasus: 3.5GHz Phenom II X4, 8GB DDR2, 1GB HD6870, Watercooled Prometheus: 3.8GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB DDR2, 2x512MB 8800GT Daedalus: 2.8GHz Athlon X2, 4GB DDR2, 512MB HD4870

You could fix the fan by pulling it apart then cleaning off out with some rubbing alcohol and re-lube with some air tool oil. I've done it to alot of fans and works great. Also while you have the supply apart you can check out the caps in the supply for buldging capacitors which means either fix it or replace the supply!! Do make sure to remove power from the supply for a couple mins so the caps discharge so you don't get shocked!! What OS are you using? Assuming some 9x variant. I have to ask why Raid0 with such old hardware? I'd hate to lose my 98SE setup of months of customizing by losing a drive. Running in Raid 1 (mirror) still should up the read rate while creating redundancy in case one of those old drives die!! _________________ > 98SE . P3 1.4S . 512MB . 3Dfx V5 .

They came with retail boxed Xeon CPUs in the Willammette days, possibly after that too. _________________ VogonsDrivers.com \| Link \| News Thread [retro swim] \| Link \| Release Thread What the hell are you talking about, Max?

ProfessorProfessorson The Professor Professorson Joined: 2011-06-21 Posts: 327	Well, I mean I have seen some coolers with fans placed in a similar way, with the access spot to the internals on the outside for easy access, but the fan rotation was still set to blow air down onto the heatsink, not pull it through it. I guess it wouldn't matter much with a low heat generating cpu, but that's not something I would want to do with a high heat one, especially with the north bridge close by and everything else generating heat on the motherboard, since that is ultimately the area where your airflow would be pulled from. _________________ http://theprofessorprofessorson.blogspot.com/

The RAID 0 was accidental, I originally intended to run a system + games volume separately but for some reason I did the setup wrong and wound up with 2 in RAID 0. I will change it soon, after I get it "where I want it" I'll boot to linux CD or something and dump/re-copy correctly. _________________ Will pay $$$ for: caching ISA I/O-IDE controller Ensoniq Soundscape ISA PM me for my list of trade-ables...

I bought a bunch off of eGad and use them whenever a nice 60mm fan is required (and I have space). _________________ Will pay $$$ for: caching ISA I/O-IDE controller Ensoniq Soundscape ISA PM me for my list of trade-ables...

I just thought that seemed to make more sense to me....kind of like the engine fan on a car, I guess. _________________ Will pay $$$ for: caching ISA I/O-IDE controller Ensoniq Soundscape ISA PM me for my list of trade-ables...
