Even with the power supply at the top and that exhaust fan below the power supply, you will end up with a nice big pocket of hot air building up near the top of the case. I've done test in the past with thermal probes as well as modified almost every case I have had for the past 20+ years to make …

Well, as with any advice, you have to reconcile theory with evidence! :cool: Although, in this case, I suspect the benefit you're seeing is from brute force. You might do better with less if your approach is based on thoughtful engineering of the thermals. But ultimately you get there either way, …

I already have a 120mm fan in the front but it's centered, the air goes through the CPU\northbridge and upper GPU, i don't think i should go lower, for the PCI slot i will print vented covers next week ( the audigy is on the lowest slot so it doesn't really interfere with anything) Regarding the fan …

Surprisingly the athlon is pretty cool with the case fans, after 3 hours idle with XP it stays at 40-41 degree celsius, the fan is just barely audible but i will probably use a noctua of the same size in the future, for the other fans i'm totally fine since i'm using a regulator, everything is …

I'm recharging the Gopro now, i did a really fast sketch in 3d of how the fans are set and what i would like to do near the AGP and PCI slots. https://imgur.com/a/Wz5AE9C With the case open it's not really that warm, but closed every GPU i tested was just too hot, now everything is fine, my advice …

I'm finally almost finished with one of my retro rigs (athlon XP\9800XXL\1 DDR\Audigy 2 ZS) which i have been working on since early autumn, most of my time has been spent into cable management, fan positioning, setting up a voltage regulator for the case fans and modding the case, boy was this case …

I modded a stock LGA 775 cooler to be used on a geforce 4 TI, the stock cooler of the geforce 4 is totally not up to the job and the fan is noisy as all hell so i took an old unused stock 775 cooler and used a dremel to drill holes and cut the feet used to attach it to the motherboard, then i …

I was searching for a 9700 pro and i happened to buy this and other cards, i'm pretty satisfied, the downclocking is ridiculously low to the point where i asked myself why they even tried to shave off those few Hz and the features are the same, it gets pretty much the same result of a 9800XT; it's a …

Lately i bought a GPU batch, the ones i was interested in were the 9800 XXL and the 4200 TI, the problem is that i have a really bad feeling about the heat sink used for the XXL, it's really damn thick and flat and it doesn't strike me as a good way to conduct heat away from the chip. https://i. …

I solved the problem, windows 3.11 was already working like a charm the problem was in linux itself not being able to use General MIDI playback. I used this guide and everything worked even better than on windows since the instrument are all the right ones: http://macilatthefront.blogspot.it/2010/05 …

Oooooook what i will write now will either make you laugh or make you curse me for a good hour. I was using my linux partition all this time, so i decided to use my windows one just 10 minutes ago and surprise SB16 Ext MIDI actually works. The problem is that EVERY single sound is associated with …

In the MIDI mapper options i had only Sb16 alternatives, i had to create the MPU401 Ext MIDI setup, the driver setup is the same as mine and this is my sierra INI http://i.cubeupload.com/ZLSnM8.png For example now i'm using this option for the MIDI mapper but i can't hear any MIDI sound http://i. …

I did that, now there's no MIDI audio. For the quality differences in the audio. Sb16 what i hear normally in Dosbox\win3.11 http://www.filebox.com/fcxygm6p90nu SC-88 what i would like to hear http://www.filebox.com/mbb8weuy8pzn

Everything works with the Sb16 setup, i was curious to see if it was possible to use the roland mpu-401 drivers.

I'm trying to use the mpu401 drivers in windows 3.11 to archive better midi sounds in KQ6, but even if i install the driver and change the midi mapper options in win3.11 i can't hear any midi sounds; using the Sb16 everything works but with a downgrade in the midi music. I'm using Dosbox 0.74
