Thanks for the informative posts Whiic! After going through the articles I was thinking the same on the Ninja's temperatures being different in one review to the other. It makes the Ultra-120 look so awesome I wonder why they are so different. :? I have another look at the heatsinks, every time I re...

Cheers for info Shmanky really useful to know, I did make sure to read your thread as it was fairly similar to what I want to build. Is yours up and running yet? I am tempted to go with the E6850 for the extra 40 or so pounds, I was going to go with 667 MHz ram also, but the price difference was aro...

New P182/E6750 build could really use some help and advice.
Hi everyone I've had a terrible time of late with my pc's. My main one (P4/IC7-Max3 build) decided to die on me, so what I thought was a few months before my next build got moved forward. So I hit one of my favourite computer related forums in search of some good components and ideas. Usage - Lots o...

CPU Temp - 54 Idle / 65 Load SYS Temp - 32 Idle / 33 Load? PWM Te...

Your case is much tidier then mine :) I have been trying to find a SI-120 or a XP-120 but with no joy, so I've decided to go the way of the 92mm Arctic Cooling fan as you suggested ;) With the Zalman Northbridge cooler, hopefully that will help lower the numbers. I will update when they arrive, than...

Thanks very much for your input, I think there must be some problem with the Zalman CNPS7700-ALCU possibly has a fair bit of dust on it, which I have cleaned. I was testing it earlier by stopping the 120mm case fan and then the psu fan and noticed that the Zalman didn't seem to be shifting much air ...

I've been wondering on the same subject... Apparently the DL writing (as well as overall) performance of the Samsung Writemaster isn’t exactly going to win any medals, but I have heard good things about the noise levels. It's currently on my list for my new PC, but there hasn't been much other talk.

No joy on the ebay front damn :( I have found the XP-90C, only problem now is deciding on a 92mm fan... Noiseblocker XE1 Nexus DF1209SL-3 or even the Acoustifan AF92CT From the round up, there are question marks over the Nexus' ability on a hot processor which has me concerned a bit. As well as the ...

It really does look great! I was just going to ask to see a picture of the Reserator 2 beside the P180 for size comparison, but you have already done it :) I might have to use the idea of a fan in the lower section, I was thinking of putting my 2 raptors down there. Currently mine in my Sonata run a...

Quieting/Cooling my 3.0 Prescott on an Abit IC7-Max3
Hi there, I have been reading these boards for a while and thought I should really register and get posting before undertaking a few projects which require the expert advice I see on these boards. As the title suggests I am looking to make my current PC a bit quieter and provide a bit of extra cooli...

Great work snq! I am hoping to build a PC in the near future very similiar in spec to yours, I was going to wait for the P182 to come out, but your case does look great with superb cable management. Does anyone know what the "technical" name for the rubber thingy used to protect the molex coming out...
