who knows if my box will come back a 4th time. its a safe bet if you send it in now it will come back with a lite-on drive ;) yah for sure! my friend just got one... May 2008 manufacture date on the drive but 2006 date on the actual box. everything inside the box was new. Falcon chipset w/o HDMI in...

Just to let you know Sess, when I did the x-clamps on yours, I used AS5 for the thermal compound. Thats not saying that it couldn't have lost its vescosity and hardened up, but in that short amount of time, its doubtful. I didn't realize it was fixed recently so maybe its not the paste I used ceram...

yah good luck to you.

Honestly, I think its something getting to hot and its freezing as a result.

let us know what happens!

If you are looking for the 80mm fan that moves the most air, I went through the depths of newegg and came up with these things: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999612" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I ordered two a couple weeks ago. Be forewarned, t...

I added a USB fan for now.. its an 80mm not 70 my bad. its just to test stuff out / make sure the box works and is stable before I drop some more $$ on it.

I know it looks like hell right now... but it works

Hmm, well I was playing DBZ Burst Limit a couple days ago and it froze in mid game. I tried loading it up a couple times and the game would freeze during a fight each time. I thought maybe it was a bad burn so I tried my backup of GTA IV and it froze as well. I redid this a couple times and it woul...

i think you will disturb the channel of the air flow as you are suppose to keep the air flow in one direction for maximum cooling. thought adding the fan on the bottom and top may help and help but possibly not by much and if the bottom is getting hot then if you add the fan at the bottom then you ...

soo I had a RROD 0102. I fixed it. did the x-clamp replacement. 12v fans, air shroud mod.. added heatsinks to the southbridge / ana / and ram on the top of the board. AS7 on the dies. the bottom of the board I had the white foam pads that I kept on. It workd fine for about 5 months. I got the RROD a...

the card worked perfect! thanks for the recomendation! 1st try. all systems go!!

yah I bought the card. now waiting for it. I think the mobo has (ICH7 family) controller. guess I got lucky on the Hitachis.

thanks for the response. now I wait.

that makes a lot of sense, I can see that happening. but the box is brand new just put a disk in to make sure it wasn't DOA. but I did take it out previous to attempting everything

that was a quick response!! much appreciated. I'm not at the comp right now; at work ATM. So I can't check the controller. I do remember I had a few diff options in iprep and 2 or 3 said they were MTK and dos flash compatible. I'll try building another boot w/ the other devices and try dos flash tha...

I did read the other posts with similar issues. I'm using a gigabit mobo on XP. I have flashed the Hit drives using slax w/this board in the past, so the SATA can work When booting iprep from USB I get either 0xFF > which I understand means its not reading it, or I get 0x7F : I'm not sure what that ...
