Post by: Dark Mantis on May 15, 2011, 04:39:22 pm: Yes Pierre is always coming up with some adapter or other that makes life easier. I would imagine however that it must make the back panel offset at the same time. I know not all boards even have a rear outlet port but some might be a bit awkward.

Post by: Dark Mantis on May 15, 2011, 10:25:45 pm: Yes an excellent idea. It is a shame that Gigabyte don't supply one of those in every motherboard box. That top PCIE x1 is mostly unusable because of the heatsink.

For Aussie Allan ...

Sometimes i have a good idea ... you can read this :

http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,2559.msg15396.html#msg15396

And good because after the NorthBridge & MosFet's are to a correct temperature

Also my little computer :

http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,2373.msg31941.html#msg31941

Running ,cool, Virgin air for the CPU has always been the way to go for those in the know running air, It just makes good sense!

Your computer is what I imagined you might have complete with SAS storage........I'll have to get the studio lights out this week and get some photo's up for you guy's.....it's only fair, but unlike your server I won't have to use the wide angle lens.

Post by: Dark Mantis on May 16, 2011, 09:35:43 am: Allan did you count how many hard drives Pierre has there. I did when he first uploaded the pics and I think it was about 36 and if they are all 1 TB drives that is some real estate. :o

Post by: Aussie Allan on May 16, 2011, 10:09:46 am: Yes! I think runn3R could contact Pierre about some backup server space in-case of an outage of the main web-site........Does make me wonder how many levels of Raid he has going under the hood?

.......Gotit!...Seriously though..... had one for a couple of years now ...really handy for El-chepo backup and cloning, onto 2.5 or 3.5.

In fact you don't even need the power supply if you connect two USBs to them

When i plug the esata cable , i have the sata disk OK

When i unplug the eSata cable i have the 2 * IDE & SATA disks --> YES the TWO DISKS

Push the red button in same time as i power on and miracle the 2 * disks are discovered !!

Bad doc , bad doc , bad doc and doc is write also with microscopic characters !!

Post by: Dark Mantis on June 02, 2011, 08:32:02 pm: Hi Pierre,

It is really annoying when manufacturers make a good product but fall fatally short when it comes to decent documentation. I just reviewed an Alphacool Heatmaster that was the same. Good bit of kit once you could discover how to install it.
