Running 3 degrees cooler thanks to tighten up cables ;)
Hello,
A few days ago I decided to finally tight up the cable in my computer. The motherboard now runs (at least 3) degrees cooler ! =D Bye, Skybuck.

Now what are you wittering about? His cable was loose. Now it's tight and the PC is way cooler. It's like how people used to say things they liked were "cool" and now they say "tight". Apparently this is based on an actual physical phenomenon that causes a temperature drop in things under great tension. -- ybbxvatyvxrnobeantnvayvivatyvxrnurergvpyvfgravatgb neguheyrrerpbeqfznxv atnyylbhesevraqfsrryfbthvyglnobhggurveplavpvfznaqg urerfgbsgurvetrareng vbaabgriragurtbireazragnertbaanfgbclbhabjohgnerlbh ernqlgborurnegoebxra

So presumably you meant you tidied up the cables and the airflow has improved, resulting in a slight drop in temperature. SteveH

So presumably you meant you tidied up the cables and the airflow has improved, resulting in a slight drop in temperature. Yup. Three degrees could be significant, it might be the difference between Asus' Q-Fan control deciding to spindle or not spindle up the fan to higher rpm and thus higher noise. I am not sure if the end-user is able to changing the variables/parameters of the Q-Fan control algorithm. The asus pc probe II software does have some thresholds and such but I think those are only ment for the warnings/alerts and not so much for the Q-Fan algorithm/software ? Bye, Skybuck.

Wow something scary happened :)
Hello,
I was viewing a replay of my first multiplayer game of Company of Hero's when I used Asus PC Probe II to turned off Q-Fan control. I did this because the soundblaster/sound started to crackle... I thought maybe the computer is getting to hot. As soon as I turned off Q-Fan control to increase the CPU fan speed the computer shutdown. I thought no problem... I ll reboot the computer and I ll go eat and later I ll return etc. Then after I was done eating the computer was not responding. I pressed reset button, nothing happened. I shutdown the computer, restarted it and I walked away and then I heard beep beep beep beep. I was like WTF. I walk back and the monitor is still all black no boot screen. I try reset a couple of times... I finally decide to hold in the power button 10 seconds to shut it down. I tried two reboots or so but nothing. Now the computer start sounding real weird. I notice the rare case fan is not spinning. The computer is making a really weird sound. I am getting really worried... I was thinking "Oh my god, is my motherboard half dead or something ?", "Was there a voltage peak in the power ?", "Maybe this is a result of a power surge a month ago ?" Man I was worried ! I opened up the powered on PC and I noticed the CPU fan wasn't spinning. I thought: "Oh my god, that can't be good ?!" "Maybe it's stuck or something." I tried to get both fans spinning but no luck. I thought: "Maybe there is something wrong with the power supply." So I turned off and on the power supply. Still no luck. I knew I had tightened all the cables recently. So I thought I better check all cables, maybe some cable is kinda loose. And yup ! It turned out the power cable was kinda loose ! It probably was half in, half out. The computer wasn't getting enough power. How this happened is kinda strange. I didn't notice it when I tightened the cables. Anyway I rebooted the computer and now all is working fine. It's kinda amazing the system was not damaged, ofcourse I can't be sure yet, time will tell Anyway... this should ofcourse have never happened in the first place ?! Normally the power connector "clicks-in"... but maybe the asus a8n32-sli is missing a little edge on the power socket. I noticed the little clip on the connector is not "clicked in". Maybe it's not problem but still. I am too tired now so I better not mess with my computer. Tomorrow I might investigate further into this almost-would-be-nightmare. Bye, Skybuck =D
