Juan, Could you please remember me how to lower the processor speed to such a low values?. I never told about this and officially it can't be done. But I seem to be able to do "many" things these days which can't be done, and this is one of them. Can be much lower still. People, please don't start to do/try this right away. It needs a new XXHighEnd version (I'm always the first who has that somehow  ), and there's quite some more for "reasons" why this can be for the better. It's not finished yet. Peter |

I found the TeckNet USB on Amazon but it's priced in Pounds and it says it does not come with "molex splitter". Do I need that? You don't need that anyway as long as you have a free molex connection from your PSU (and I guess you will). Otherwise if you click the link "see more product details" someone explains in the comments near the bottom that it is not needed anymore to outboard power the card. Still I would do that, I think, when the option is there (SQ). Lastly, I don't want to interfere much, but the USB3 card as Juan uses it will be for the NOS1; if you don't have that (or don't plan to) you won't need this card either - unless there's no USB3 on the MoBo (but I'm fairly sure it will be there). So this is just about from which interface the NOS1 sounds best and general consensus is from these cards (with NEC chip I think - I didn't investigate this one). Kind regards, Peter |

Kind regards, Peter Bob - The X58 Sabertooth has its own USB 3.0 ports, so as Peter said the PCIe card is to communicate the PC with the NOS1. Maybe you want to buy the card but then you´ll need to order the NOS1 if you don´t want to waste 9 pounds  . Juan |

Bob - That case wouldn´t be my first choice, too many fans, very big, etc. I´d look for something that take care of the noise like the Fractal Design Define R3 ATX or the Nanoxia Deep Silence 1: - http://www.silentpcreview.com/fractal-r3- http://www.silentpcreview.com/Nanoxia_Deep_Silence_1Take a look here http://www.silentpcreview.com/section9.html I´ll try to investigate further and let you know what I find. The idea is to get a case built with some kind of noise isolation but with enough room to put your components and with enough ventilation (fans) or with the possibility to refrigerate by water but not with "more of everything".

Bob Juan hi,
I have two of the fractal design cases in the link from Juan above. One is used for my main audio pc. The are very well built and tick the boxes for an audio pc that Juan mentions. Very nice kit.

Nick - The Fractal Design Define R3 ATX can be a good candidate to help Bob, more even if you have a direct experience. Thanks for your opinion.

Juan,
I didn't see any instructions on this...
What optical drive do you recommend?
What is the best ripping software?

Bob - I´m using two CD-Rom: an old Plextor PX-230A and a Plextor PX-L890SA. The first one is very fast and very good ripping cds that can have some problems (scratches), this cd-rom is hard to find second hand at ebay, is expensive (around $200) and it is considered by some people as the best one ever built. The Plextor PX-L890SA is a modern cd-rom and has FUA capability important (not so sure) to avoid ripping errors. After using the CD-Rom I disconnect it to get better sound. The software to rip cds could be any of these two: - EAC (a little softer sound that could be appealing to someone): http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/- dbpoweramp (it rips faster than the EAC). This is the one I use: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/cd-ripper.htmBest regards, Juan |
