doesnt move much air???????

my 4412FGL from directron is great, its smooth, its not silent, however, it moves air. it doesnt like move a lil air, it has a strong push. This is why I wouldnt go Nexus 120 in a performance setup with only one big exhaust...

The pabst paps

that looks about right. I bought water wetter though. It looks like it works very well for many setups so that means it should work fine in a non-oc'd setup with a Resserator rig. anti-bacterial is my quest now. I think no one has an answer for this. Like ever/anywhere. blech. I also bought Poland S...

WOOT! I just bought a 350 PHantom :D looks neat. impressive sucker. Also just bought zalman Reserator, that thing doesntt look impressive, it IS impressive. holy 3000 lbs of aluminum batman! Don't worry, chum! Fortunately, my utility belt always includes a can of "Bat-aluminum-repellant!" :D lol ye...

Eh, well, if i had to make one with case fans and a phantom (my phantom is in its box I just bought it) ... I would put one 120 in front and one in back. I would get 2 nexus fans. I would put the back one at like 5-6 volts and the front one at a more obvious push. This would create a lot of air flow...

I just called the tech people of Zalman. Normally, in months/years past, every time they gave me advice or info it was accurate. If this is, then well, there you go... I asked if there should be some sort of additive used in their Reserator. The tech was very happy that I had one and asked me to tel...

Never liked water wetter. Smells like something that the word filter on here would block. Leaves a residue on the majority of systems Ive seen people use it in. My vote goes for Propylene Glycol AF, Distiled, and iodine. Iodine.... I think that loves to react with metals. Its a non-metal. I think i...

It's not my place to say whether it would be better or not for the Phantom (perhaps AntecRep can answer that question), but having a Nexus in the back as well as a Nexus in the front will give you a pressure-neutral case (neither negative pressure nor positive pressure). By only having one Nexus in...

hm, so water wetter has some anti-microbial tendencies? This is good. Yeah, I worry about alcohol and rubber/plastic in a heat situation.

thanx. I hope this does it.... i live in an area by the ocean that has an enormous amount of possible bacteria that might infect the system of anything/anyone.

hm, how was it the adapter?

I also believe i can hear the hiss comming from the router internals itself, but I have no idea what causes that.

Hi, I am all giddy with my new reserator and vga block all raring to go. Now i must get Water Wetter. from redline right, only one type right? eh? Ok, well, I searched for wetter and for bacteria in the forums. Found stuff mentioning it, found stuff saying i should get some bacterial-cidal sort of t...

hm, well thanks much for the warning. yeah, i duno, router should be silent, its has a really loud hiss, well loud for no moving parts or speakers :) i dont think its coil whine, its like air being let out of a valve sounding. freaky. on all 3 routers. I like only linksys so that might be my problem...

I have 3 Linksys routers, the blue boyz with the 4 port/switch/firewall. The ol' classic types. i have a few versions of same bfsr41 or something like that, spanning several years of purchases. They all hiss at a high pitch, its so obvious and irritating, a large blanket sits on it. I am like confus...

well, um, why not? I am assuming your board has a minimum setting for fan speed, some sort of one. Zalman's at like 1400-ish rpm normally dont tip off the bios to say IM GOING TO DIE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and shut down on you. you just need an rpm meter from that fan to connect to the motherboard, I beli...

Not many amd64 mobo's support undervolting at all. ??? Are you kidding? That's one of AMD's major marketing devices for the A64, Cool n Quiet. My Athlon 64 is currently passively cooled at .950V, if system demand rises, it'll bump itself up and the fan will kick in. thats not undervolting it. your ...

WOOT! I just bought a 350 PHantom

looks neat. impressive sucker.

Also just bought zalman Reserator, that thing doesntt look impressive, it IS impressive. holy 3000 lbs of aluminum batman!

thats all pretty ingenious. hm.

I have always thought of running a 15 foot copper pipe just bare as a radiator for the system. puttin a pipe into the water of a system would make it ice cold.

that hd, im guessing, is creaky and noisy.

go for a notebook drive, I say, and then put it on a block of foam.

I can say with all honesty that a front fan is a wonderful thing. But not in general. I so am looking forward to positive pressure in my next setup (p180 where are you....) The recommended seasonics do not do as well when you have a large draw near them, they actually ramp up more. Someone said NO I...

Socket 754 means AGP which kindof sucks! Any PCI-e s754 boards out there? This is simply a rev. E0 winchester core (with single channel s754 1 MB cache etc) right? PCI-e has absolutely no effect on anything besides being, um a different slot. There are no conceivable vid cards out there that gain a...

that would be a heck of a rip off for a case without a power supply and that isnt made out of aluminum.

I think they are jacking you buddy on its rarity. Someone will cut that price up when it comes out.

hm. ok.

yeah the 3700 is where im heading. i just realized how cheap it is compared to others and cheaper than the 3800 which would just heat up more really at load (i keep things at load for like 4 hours plus at a time so its a concern for me.)

wow, good info thanx. Now two questions: 1. Is he san diego 90nm ? (i think this is a yes) 2. What particular computing functions does more cache above 512k do better? I am considering more cache vs more speed. The reason being that in tests past, at least for gaming, the 0.2 ghz increase in speed d...

HAhahaa nice all !

Well, quieter yeah, in a small way. 2-3 watts isnt going to break the bank compared to all the other heat makers in the box. Hm, ok, so no 1mb cache. I kinda wanted that. However, theres one thing I dislike more than not having that, and that is spending a lot of money. Also, at monarch, I dont see ...

Well, tin snips are needed for the grills. I dont know if this would effect the structural integrity of the unit. There is a bridge/junction of some sort of metal/metal on the back. Looks rather nice though with its extra breathers in the side and near the pci's which I find nowadays to be a good pl...

I cant figure on what chip is more uber. I see theres not a heap of price difference in them, yet, I just cant figure on it.

I want a 2.4ghz with 1 meg cache and call it a day. What the heck is it called? (venice core)

OMGOSH j00 N33DZ 800 WATZ n00b !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I agree with that, we should have 2 quality aluminum cases that already are in the quiet category tested fully. Sometimes, people test ones with 3000 holes in them, or they are small, or they dont use new spcr rated fans in it. I for one think that we should have all cases reviewed that are stri...

yeah I know. monarch is da bomb.

i duno if they are nice people but they sure get some good connections and prices for these chipz

Also note: if you go too small like 5000 btu's for an ac, its normally made by a smaller company and all will sound as loud, which is rather loud. you need to hit like 8 to make sure that the brand is really that brand. (opposite for GE, panasonic makes some of the smaller-ish ones for it and can be...
