Suspension is the way to go. Antec has finally caught up with this well known secret and built suspension mechanisms into their latest P150. Many SCPR members have long been buying the SLK3000B case because they can suspend the entire hard drive cage in it. Suspend your hard drives if you can. It be...

Armed with his knowledge, I went to HomeDepot bought both green (M2) and red (M1) ones, and made the first mod to my SLK3000B. The r...

Hi Mike, Thanks for the compliment. I have learned so much from SPCR that I want share what I have learned, especially the effective techniques.

No offence meant, but I can't for a minute believe that from one metre away you can't hear anything. My PC has one 120mm Nexus and when that's at 12volts (1000rpm), I can definitely hear it, nevermind the 5 fans you are running! My computer is also about a metre away. If you read carefully, you sho...

Just out of interest, have you had any problems with the paper clips (bending etc) I can't find the plastic clamps they use in aphonos' method - so I thought I may give this a go instead. I assume you still used the grommets when attaching the hard disks to the cage? I have two hard drives in the c...

A passive 6600GT will become very hot, so you still need a fan to blow at it. My Zalman VF700 is very quiet at low rpm. At high rpm during gaming, it becomes loud. Then if you are gaming, the game sounds will be far louder than the fan noise. You can either put a Fan Mate on VF700, or you can progra...

It's a A64 3000+ @2.4Ghz, 1.65v. 1) 1.65v! :shock: I have a 3000+ (1.8GHz, 1.4v, Winchester 90nm) and Zalman 7000. The CPU idles at 30C-32C. When I undervolt to 1.1v, the temp dropped to 26C-28C. Drop the voltage. 2) Your CPU is overclocked to 133% of its designed frequency. Do video recording real...

Ah, HTPC. So the root cause of the hot CPU problem could be: 1) Pentium 4 processor. These CPUs are hot. Use a Ninja, Xp-120, or Zalman 9500. 2) Inadequate air flow. Is your HTPC enclosed inside a cabinet? Allow bigger openings to let air in and our. I think the heat is building up inside your HTPC ...

Mathias, is there a wattage calculator that you want to recommend? No. If you don't want to bather to calculate it yourself, then your no worse off just guessing.

I also noticed that it doesn't include nVidia 6600 and 6600 GT there, and there should be an option for a Second Video Card. Still, I think the program gives a pretty good estimate. It will be useful to people who are not sure how many watts they need. Mathias, is there a wattage calculator that you...

Nice PSU wattage calculator
If you are buying a PSU but unsure about the wattage you need, try this wattage calculator. http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/ The only flaw I noticed is that it rates all Athlon64 CPUs at 89W. There is no option for the new 90nm Athlon64 CPUs that are rated at 67W. Besides this, it is a nifty...

I have a simple idea. I haven't tried it, but it might work for you. 1) Remove the stock 92mm fan from Zalman 7000 2) Mount the Zalman heatsink, with fan removed, on the CPU. 3) Hang a 120mm Yate Loon there. The photo below shows you how easy it is to hang a fan with two wires. I am using a Panaflo ...

Lay your Ninja PC down?
Here is a thought: Laying a Ninja equipped motherboard parallel to the ground may make this heat sink more effective. Heat pipes have liquid inside, which turns into gas when get hot. The gas goes to the top thus takes the heat away. When it is cooled, it turns back into liquid and flows down to the...

Ignore temp3. My temp3 is at 127 too, and it stays fixed even when I just turn on my PC on a very cold day. I think there is no sensor for temp3 on Chaintech VNF4 mobos.
