RE: E7xxx processor all have same basic specifications (3MB Cache, Dual Core, VIDs, FSB) but different frequency




Ok. I was just curious as I had an E7300 processor available (it's in my ripping PC) and could change it pretty easily.

On the harddrive, I had it in the 3.5" bay with a homemade adapter that provided some vibration isolation (see attached picture). But when the drive touched the sides of the bay instead of being isolated, I noticed a SQ reduction. So I went to the setup in my picture in my previous post... the HDD is mounted to a bamboo block which sits on 4 isolators and has a damping weight on top. This works well as long as it's not pushed against the standoffs... which can happen when I am changing between the GD dirty supplies and the linear dirty supply and don't remember to check it's position.

Also, I figure anything that's not in the case won't be able to vibrate and possibly affect SQ.
