Adding 2 more HD's makes it more interesting. Also it depends on the number of fans, pci cards, etc you have.
I just spent a lot of time doing the wiring as I have seens some catastophic cases

Quieting the loudest pc you have ever heard Part II
Hey All, A few weeks ago I posted this: http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=26137 . Well after being put on hold by SVC for a few parts for 2 weeks I canceled my order and am awaiting the following from The Heatsink Factory: -Fan Controller -Zalman VF700 ALCU -Scythe Ninja Alas my syste...

Not to intel bash as I have a 2.8C @ 3.22ghz right now (mobo limited) but why that processor? I am inquiring in regards to the power usage/subsequent beefier & louder cooling apparatus required, and poorer dual core performance (especially on the Extreme Edition). Why not just get a X2 4400+ and o/c...

It wasn't off topic. Now that you mention it when music is playing in the background I am able to ignore it much easier than "absolute" silence. I just never paid any attention to it. And it more than likely hasn't gotten better but instead you have learned to ignore it. Our brains are odd like that...

[quot Sigh...so is this the beginning of the never-ending struggle guys?? thanks all for the help! never again will you sleep in the same room as a 5000 rpm fan,not because its too damn noisy,but because of the principle of the thing. you will find yourself explaining heatpipes to a really good loo...

Trying to make that Northwood cool + Quiet seems to cost enough that I'd say screw it,get a Venice 3000 or 3200 and a basic mobo like the Asrock. The Sonata is fine and if the fans you have can undervolt to get around 700 rpm,that works. I advovate Coolmax CR PSU's,nice price and there is a single ...

Well yesterday I did the following: -Antec P180 -4 Yate-Loon D12Sl-12. Same thing as the nexus (well 350rpm higher) at about a 1/5th the cost! -Scythe Ninja -6800GT (so now this system has longer legs than 6months. This is coming from a 5900/9700PRO so it is quite an improvement) -Zalman VF700-ALCU ...

Somehow what I wanted to say and what I wrote were 2 separate entities :oops: You are very right; It is not that I am wary of working on the pc, it is merely that I would hate to break a 200+(normally I just get the highest end model and keep it for a while) video card as I have never modified one. ...

Thanks for the continued advice guys. -I bought the 947-U back when it was the one and only option. I later bought a XP-120 because I wanted to mate it with a slower speed 120MM fan but alas I could not fit the XP-120 in my motherboard. -As for just swapping my Heatsink fan I am already running the ...

Thanks for the response guys. Yes, 9 more months will be unbearable. This pc can be heard upstairs. About the load...This pc is always at 100% load with 2 instances of Folding@Home running in the background. The XP-120 does not fit on this motherboard. I am unsure if the Xp-120 will, however. This i...
