d8b Forum

hello all. my friend gave me the D8B. the problem is that the CPU unit is very noisy. I want to do a silent upgrade

I put two of these RAM?

for the power supply can replace it with this?

on the motherboard I have seen that there is a 20 pin molex connector. I can use the molex connector instead of the old?

for the hard drive, I can put a 32GB SSD IDE like this?

Thanks to all

With regard to point 1: The max you need is 256 so you don't need two of those. It's widely accepted that 2 x 128 is safer but at that price who cares? In other words you only need one stick of 256 if it works.

Point 2: The power supply is 3 sections. I doubt the one you've linked to will work but it may. Wiring may be more of a hassle than it's worth. Hopefully someone else can comment here.

Point 4: The stock is a 3.5" HD. You have the right giggage (did I just make that up?) but that is a 2.5" drive so if it does work you're gonna be adjusting the mounting conditions.

I've left the molex question since I have no idea.

Further, the silly little fan over the processor on the motherboard is the main offender in the noise department. There is a post in the database that addresses this.

You should make your next port of call, the database. There's a link at the top of this page. Many questions answered there.

Welcome

thanks peter. I will do a test and then I'll tell you. I have another problem. no longer find the floppy disk installation. how can I do? I can copy the contents of the old hard drive on the new hard drive that I give him? or should I contact mackie?:)
