ShuttleX: SB65G2, a few questions

External Since: Oct 17, 2003 Posts: 1

I bought and built this machine up over the week-end and all it running
pretty well.

I installed a 2.6Ghz P4 and wanted to use 2 sticks of Kingston HyperX
KHX3200/512.

I have two immediate problems. The machine will not run correctly with 2nd
DIMM installed. I have checked with Shuttle and their tech support says my
memory is fine it is simple that my SPD and DDR voltages need to be
adjusted. I get all sorts of weird errors when I add 2nd DIMM. I have tried
them separately in DIMM1 and all is well till I add 2nd stick. So, I am sure
each of the DIMM's are fine. Hyperthreading is enabled and appears to be
working just fine.

Second problem is a bit more dicey. The fan on this machine has a very nasty
whine. When I move my mouse around or any general activity, it actually
increases the whine of the fan. If this was a sound card issue (read via
chipset) I could understand, but I can't figure out how simple I/O activity
causes the 'shreik' to increase. Also, related, when I am on my cordless
2.4GHz phone near the machine, the phone gets really heavy with static. The
wirelss module is disabled in WinXP, so I don't know why the two would have
'issues'

Anyone who can help me on the above is much appreciated. I have run some
standard Sandra benchmarks and all seems fine
