Q-Fan is the suck. I have a P5B deluxe and Im considering a fan controller. You simply have the choice of 'silent, optimal or performance' and it then does something opaque for target rpm/temperatures. On silent it runs my S-Flex 21E at full whack on the CPU when its perfectly cool. The CPU pin is a...

Well, Im posting here to ask if I made any mistakes ;) I have the intake fan disabled at the moment, but its there with an eye to providing airflow over the GPU area once aftermarket coolers are available for the 8800GTX; thats by far my hottest component, and an in-case heatsink is going to be much...

I dont think the GPU cooling situation can be improved till a decent aftermarket cooler comes out. The stock heatsink is inside a sealed sheath with its own fan onboard, venting out the back of...

I cant hear the drives unless they're accessing. I can hear airflow, and Im thinking now I might have to cut out the bloody honeycomb over the fans, which is sad, because I bought the P180 to avoid having to dremel a 150 to fit the GTX in ;) Idle temps are: case 42c, CPU 44c, Drives 37+40c, GPU 74c....

My system is in my sig - its quiet, much quieter than my girlfriends computer with the snazzy LED fans (and by the way, are there any quiet blue LED fans out there I could sneak into her system when she wasnt looking? Please?), but it is audible. Im hoping folks here can help me with it, but Im thin...

Hey, So Black Jacque over at arstechnica infected me and I've been playing; running new cable paths, wrapping bundles in spiral wrap, cable tying things down and trying different fan arrangements then monitoring the temperaturs in the case and audible noise levels (by ear, rather than DB meter) I ha...
