I've done many improvements to my rig over the past years. The motherboard is now an Asus P5KPL/1600 with 2Gigs of DDR 400 Ram by Kingston HyperX. Using 2 1TB Samsung ecogreen HDDs. The modified Thermaltake Sonic Tower now cools an Intel e5400. The grapicscard is now a passively cooled Ati hd4670 by...

hi, how much fans you need depends largely on case and airflow design. I've designed my AMD Semperon 2800+ desktop PC to run on only one fan, a 120mm Nexus fan @7V in the PSU. The power output of your system is higher, so I couldn't recommend running on one fan alone. Sounds to me like you could red...

my general use PC has only one noisy component left, one of those small hsf's on my Radeon 9550. other than that the two 120mm nexus fans @7V and soft-mounted HDD's make a pretty silent system. HTPC's are usually a different story, since the wife, family and friends expect it to be as quiet as any o...

thanks, thejamppa will try that. Never got around to test ducting, but I noticed that ducting sure is needed to force the airflow in the correct way. basically air goes from the high pressure zone at the CPU to the low pressure zone at the PSU. hardly optimal for any of the hardware especially the P...

Thanks for the replies. Rotating 90deg. isn't possible because of the shape of the heatsink foot and the mounting system. well I did a test run yesterday, running the system for 12 hours, at idle and playing games. CPU temp fluctuated between 39-48 deg. without ducting. I will test this weekend if d...

It's been a long time, but here's an update of the project being mid-build... still test fitting ;) Case: I used an Aopen HQ95a case as a donor case mainly because the full ATX form factor and the 43 cm width. The depth of the case was to much to fit in my Hifi kabinet so I had to shorten it by 5 cm...
