I was just looking at the same fan. bizarre. thanks for review.

I decided to stay with the hack I made (very quiet and heavier than normal) old traditional sleeve fan, 3 pin.
and change the front fan to a thermal operation from dells leftovers.
I will put that in another thread now.

wow.

my first build was an athlon 900, oc'd to 1ghz, and it died, lots of noise, crazy case.

nice setup you have there. The temps are amazing. I have never seen that, unless that is just started? not warmed up yet? nice build.

My APC ES 750 works just fine with my Corsair PSU. There's a bit of PSU noise when the UPS has a powerline noise/voltage event trigger it active, but that's it. I don't think the simulated sine wave will hurt the PSU. Buying a used UPS: it's the replacement battery costs that add up. APC battery li...

wow. I am glad to have found this, I forgot all about the ups. I have had some weird things happening, unlikely squeals with power out etc. I upgraded to active pfc not all that long ago. The UPS cost is ridiculous, my old back ups es 500va was over 100 dollars, has a thicker cord than a new one, an...

I spotted the post of bumpy whale flippers aiding in fluidity. I was bored and popped some .25 inch aluminum rivets in my ailing pc fan, which is not a zalman underneath, it is something else. http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd255/soob87/pcfan3.jpg the extra weight stopped the buzzer in the duct,...

http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd255/soob87/tempsvolts.jpg for logging purposes, I forgot the volts temp photo. The locale this time of year is headed for brutal on anything machinery. In fact I made a part for my car that does not exist, just for weather extremes recently. This keeps my eyes o...

http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd255/soob87/HDTune_Health_WDC_WD800JB-00JJC0.png it is before fall, but 37 degrees, headed for the fulfilled freeze warning this AM in my location is before fall weather too. :cry: therefore early update. I have the main cpu fan making a bit of noise sometimes, a...

I get it in seasonal changes, related to steel. I applied it pc builidng, I choose secc2 metal, It is quite obviously a winner. it is in many electronics, electronics has many frequencies, the correct metal needs to stop it. From the late 90s for several years afterward, you could buy the worlds big...

Would it make sense to use the slot blower as an intake to blow cool air directly on a passive graphics card? I've always thought, that placing exhaust fans at the top of the case made more sene, it aiding natural convection and all. As always, nice review! great review, the honesty of side vents, ...

if life were like a hollywood movie, and hollywood movie was of real life...who would watch it. It always needs an extreme.

simple to say, and mostly known..

Mybe I know I am getting old, when I want to watch a documentary instead of a hollywood movie, but thats another thread.

I do have one more update.. my locale has intense physics, its the weather. I forget the year round cycles of my pc. Recently a hurricane came through on the shoreline, for maine, its like hot and warm at the same time, a dewpoint function unknown to man, and hho gas building in old subarus. I am in...

the same thing that wastes my time is an imprtant one, the computer. I am still enthused, as if to be 10 years younger and just hearing "the pc is the future of all entertainment". I you tube, only to find real characters are my favorites. market based stuff is like an abuse I am running from. So I ...

if older is 20 years from where you were... I must say. I am getting quite hairy. Skinny hairy old man at 36. if i stayed in the woods for a year, I wonder what hairiness i would emerge. ya know. my mother said this would happen. I never believed it. :roll: This thought brought about my opinions on ...

this subject has bothered me a long time. My first realization that someone was making fun of reality tricky enough not to anger anyone has been my only hollywood winner. Comedy in general is narrowing down as I get older, life is like that for all of us. markets and "everybody" stampedes are the bi...

GPU is the longest running experiment making the world an expendible guinea pig. keep them removable in a different realm. A different plane of perpendicular is no complaint from me. Physics of pipes on coolers have reversed cooling even dangling an accelero upside down on GPU effectively...no error...

I cannot do any overclock. figure that one out. I learned years ago, the outside power source is lucky to give enough for my standard hertz in my locale.... so rather than oc, I went for 3.4ghz and left it ethere. ther eis still spells I bet I could find 40 something hertz off the wall. My locale is...

nice. this is the stuff I like to see. furthering this to thin painted aluminum one could choose the case fan to hel hold up the 800 pound heatsink and keep the northbridge in the draft. I see the memory has alot just by the way it is. ducting is the original atx standard. I had one from compaq in 1...

no shame in that build. any parts that are reusable is the opposite of shame. I too run a compaq monitor, I believe it is a late 1999 version (never run until recently). A flat screen would make my head concaved. (I think flat screen is a shameful faker.) I like to see this stuff. the qc stamp. my a...

You can have mine. it will be snowing where I am by july 10th. we've been in the clouds for like 380 days of this year. my car exhaust billowing white like its 40 degrees in march again. :( a/c is going to make noise. they vibrate to function. the tougher the wall and window frame is the louder or q...

after popping a ups breaker after several hours, and windows visata logs catching the vid card as a source of sudden reboot...I kept going. This is after I could not run the air conditioner and computer on the same circuit (the same error I repeated for several years now) and hot swapped a 15 amp br...

I left off in january, I am still at rank 328... decided to light up the older 3.4 ghz prescott and ati 2600 on gpu. Try out the ic7, and this is after fixing a house fuse box problem (my pc knows it now no doubt). I am slow in comparison to the new stuff, but will leave it on at nights. 20k hours a...

nice, except for the axe. I have a rash looking at it..if one needs deodorent in the first place..well, lets not go there...

I have never tried the glass side boxes, plexi or whatever, it is like wanting to look at a nuclear bomb..I am non-deodorent strange like that.

I listened when his strange ways took off in the 1980s. I was preteen. I knew not to think much of it, there were other unique acts at that time. I still wonder if his mission just simply got railroaded...eventually hacking his own health. The accusations about kids. One doesn't go that far that lou...

http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd255/soob87/pcpainted1.jpg big day for the 6 year old antec 2600 amb. I took 10 minutes out to paint it, in the seemingly 1 hour of sun I have seen in the past month. (my locale has a record this jun 2009) 1 year paint code for a 1987 subaru. the paint is 22 year...

it has only been a month since my last post, added one for the diamond ic7 test. It has been good, better than what I was using. http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd255/soob87/old%20subaru/pcjun21.jpg I took a blurry photo, but it is the updated duct, now seeming very hardened (anodized?) with auto...

the internet gets me. For some time i was certain to be witnessing an anti'd existence...like someone beating an 80s subari to death, and spending 35k for a WRX. the word "the" has been swiched around.. I see it "teh" or whatever else on purpose, and the word "pwned", that came from gaming. I am a g...

it really is that bad. :( If to think of reality instead of just stepping up to jobs that can have dropouts really earning specifics of a location,, you could really challenge yourself with a military tour as an officer...and then some undoubtable guarantees may happen after just 4-6 years. It is br...

Do you believe that the Theory of Gravity is correct? Or, do you believe in Intelligent Falling? Intelligence fails, and as for gravity changing, we lok at ourselves more than anyhting to comapre to. Cavemen were short apparently, I am taller than a caveman and do not wolf down raw mammoth to susta...

my memory of computing is odd. My first pc was a compaq 5600i with reverse cooling, extremely quiet. that was in 1999. gigantic atx board now called EATX, then it was just ATX. I have mimicked it ever since. It took 5 years to catch up to the silence that one had, with a fan bigger than 120mm and fu...

hey I like it. I haven't said that since reverse cooling on an xp90 thoroughly and precisely ducted. Very common sense to look at, no sharp fins as we stab at memory sticks with heatsink installed, solid for thermally stable, vortoxed for different angles (at and atx)...I would use it just looking a...
