A word to the wise... When useing a Rheobus or volt mod, never have the fans set at or under 7V to spin slowly when you know that's not enough power for them to start spinning again <g>

Left out of town today and had my 120mm set a 'lil bit under 7... Well it's ahrd to hear over the northbridge/ gf3 fan...

Unfortunatly when I got home the comptuer had decided it hard run long enough at one time and rebooted... Obviously the fan was stalled or I wouldn't be writing this.

No damage done. Thank god the case fans were on high or I'd likely be out a record 3rd cpu in a year's time exactly <g>

Moral of the story, if you're leaving the computer; turn it OFF or turn it UP!
 
ahh...... thats why i never like reobuses....... but my panaflo dont seem to have a problem starting at 5v ;)
 
Yeah... my high speed Sunon has real problems spinning sometimes at 7... I think i'll stick to over that from now on LoL!
You know how some things just aint obvious the first time around ROTF!
