hey guys just wanted ad something about my limited experience. My asrock board started crashing on me about 3 days after setting it up. Iwent into bios and noticed that my memory which is 1600 was set at 1033 anyways i had asroch set to auto and no problem. i went back in later on and manualy set it at 1600 and it started crashing again so i set it to auto and havent had a problem sinse.

Witch power supply you are using?

Mine was also at 1033 or 1333 .... its in manual mode at 1866..... ummm ill test it to stock....



My build is my sig. Not the same build but same maker of motherboard. Your symptoms are identicle to mine which made me think to let you know about my experience. put it back to auto and hopefuly everything shoud be fine

If you set it to "Cool N Quiet" and set CPU and case fans level to 1, it is probably as good fanless......Nod

How about this better rating, lower price, better air flow and lower noise level case fan- ENERMAX UC-8EB 80mm Case Fan....

That's the fan I ship with the ATX picoPSU mounting plate on my site. It's a very quiet fan. It's the only 80mm fan I will use.

For using the picoPSU with the 4-pin mini-DIN connector in the Antec ISK300: this weekend I am going to try to make a half-height slot cover with the right mounting holes. I'll let you all know how it goes. Then there's no wires hanging from the back. The slot is taken but at least it looks nice Smile.

BTW, lots of recent reviews at Newegg with power supply issues. Sad

If that's the case, then Antec totally failed :lol:

As i wrote, I have a Intel Cedar Trail Motherboard (D2700 2.13Ghz + Gforce GT 520) and the PSU it's not powerful enough (and my CPU has a 10w TDP)
That isn't exactly all-in-one 35W CPU isn't it......the discrete GPU might have something to do with your PSU failure.....

Sorry to read it.....with proper PSU (extra cost ofcourse) in it, you will be fine my friend....you learned the hard way, but it will be easier for you next time around....Nod

He cannot RMA his case....it's already modified to fit the big Shuriken 2100 CPU fan.......

Would recommend ITX-Warehouse if you're looking for a UK reseller - that's where I got mine from Smile

Plus they seemed very helpful by email if you need some help working out which is the right one for you.

I will do some further testing with Hi10p 1080p encodes this weekend.
I will also download the first bluray disc of fate zero (Fate Zero Blu-ray Disc BOX I (2011) AVC 1080p)

I never tried to run a PCI GPU......

jack0w I am not the only one with this problem.... several people are experiencing same symptoms as me.

CpTHOOK

Don't worry I will update my guide as soon as I figure out what is going on.
Yes the ISK 300-150 would be an option.....

But hook with the 300-150 you have to stay with the stock cooler? right? because you said the power plug it's in its way? so any idea what other after market coolers to use?
If people want to use an aftermarket cooler?

I will conclude my tests later on today.
