What is the correct orientation of Golden Silent in the case with top PSU mount? Should the heatsink be oriented up or down? If mount it with all 4 screws, then the heatsink is turned down.

Please, post here CPU-Z screenshot, after you install this CPU. I think everyone wants to now it's Vcore.

Seems like this (WD10EADS-00P8B0) is 5000rpm (not 5400rpm) model. Is there any improvement about noise level? Also does it make load/unload all the time?

Hello. I wonder what is the noise difference between HD103SI and HD502HI. There is an article from THG , but there is a mistake on sound level measuremnts diagrams. Idle: EcoGreen F1 1000GB - 42.2 dB EcoGreen F2 1000GB - 44.7 dB "Database-Type": EcoGreen F2 1000GB - 42.6 dB EcoGreen F1 1000GB - 46.4...

Redzo If you are looking for a good downstyle cooler the Enzotech Ultra-X should be on your list. Just google and read reviews ;-) I know that Ultra-X is the best, but It's impossible to buy it in my country, also the same situation is in Russia. Also the tester on russian overclocker's site, who t...

Aris as for that russion site, it appears they used different fans for different heatsinks, which negates the validity of the entire test as its no longer a fair comparison. One fan may have slightly more CFM at 800rpm etc. heres the review SPCR did of the Scythe ASM: http://www.silentpcreview.com/...

NeilBlanchard Hello, I think that you are misreading the chart: the Ninja at 800RPM is 0.35, while the Andy Samurai Master is 0.36 -- which is slightly worse. This already takes the dissipation area into account -- it is the overall efficiency coefficient. 0.35 is result of Ninja rev.A with less si...

Aris ninja is hands down the best cpu heatsink for low noise applications. I saw a big test with Ninja, Infinity, and ASM for 150W CPU http://www.ixbt.com/cpu/scythe-coolers-shootout-may2k7-part2.shtml (it's in russian but you can see results on flash). And at fan speed 800rpm ASM is better than Ni...

Variants: 1. Aerocool The Dominator - $39. 2. Scythe Andy Samurai Master - $49. 3. Scythe Ninja Plus Rev.B - $51. Wich will be the most silent and effective cooler for this system: Case: Chieftec SH-01, CPU: Athlon X2 3600+ (will be overclocked), MB: Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H, PSU: SeaSonic S12 500W? We...

Who has exactly 61169 model - where is "RESET" button?

I have one more question about Chenbro PC611 and Chieftec SH-01 cases.
In Chieftec case air from hdds doesn't come to VGA and CPU, this means that it also doesn't come into PSU. PSU regulates it's fan speed depending on temperature. Can hot air from hdd cause higher PSU fan rotation speed?

Ok, think I will buy 500W model - it has more fast fan on default voltage, but as I understood from reviews it has less aggressive fan regulation than 350W model.

I want to buy new pc: Athlon X2 3600+ Brisbane Aerocool The Dominator Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H 2x1GB DDRII 667 Hitachi 320GB 16MB SATAII 7K500 DVD-RW SATA (I'll choose later), CD-RW Samsumg SW-252S In future I plan to add some graphic card (2600Pro/XT, 8600GT/GTS, 1950GT or 7900GS, or maybe something l...

What do you think about this solution for hdd (I red about it in topic about Chieftec cases, it's made by one guy for LBX 02-SL-SL-SL):

I need time to read all of this.
Now I want to conclude all what was written before about Chieftec vs Chenbro:
1. By default they are the same, or Chieftec is a bit better.
2. It is easier to create silent PC if I will buy Chenbro.
Did I miss something?

Thomas Are your prepared for some DIY suspension, or will you use the case as is? Depends on what to do. I have good "hands.dll" :D but I don't want to destroy case, because if I will find a way to buy P150, I will need to sell this case to somebody. About PSU. Here are reviews of different SeaSoni...

Ok, you say that Chenbro is better (as I understood 1mm steel is not much better than 0.8mm for vibration reduction), but it costs less than Chieftec. Which case will be better if I will decide to add 2 hdds in the future (for RAID)? One more question: I think that in SH-01 will be better to use Dom...

Thomas
Here is SH-01 wich is avialble:

Do you think that 92mm front fan will be enough?

nick705
At least I found P150 in Russia for ... $340 .
So, again, now I have to choose between Chenbro PC611 and Chieftec SH-01.

Thomas I didn't buy anything yet. I know that Seagate hdds are very noisy. I considered Hitachi HDT725032VLA360 and Samsung 321KJ and decided that Hitachi is better, because it has 2 and Samsung has 3 disks. Also I spoke with people on the most reliable russian computer forum and I was told that 32...

thejamppa Thanks for the answer. In future I hope to change to something from Antec, I like P150 desing very much (it is so simple :) ). The last question: what do you think about Chenbro PC611 ? It has only :) 0.8mm steel, but it uses standart fans configuration (1 front + 1 rear). What would you ...

I wrote before - Antec cases are not available in my country now. Also, P180 has door.
So, I just want to know: is Chieftec SH-01 the best choice in it's price bracket?

It will cost too much to ship it to Ukraine. Maybe in future Antec will decide to work on our market (about half of year ago we didn't have Sea Sonic PUs, but now I can buy it). I'm sure that cases which are available now in our country are unofficial. Also I couldn't find P150 in Russia. So, I have...

Here are all Antec cases which can be bought in Ukraine:

I don't like such design. I saw P150, it's nice but I just can't buy it.

Can you just tell me, can I buy something better than SH-01 for similar price?

I want to choose case for my new PC. Configuration: 1. CPU - Athlon 64 X2 3600+ (Brisbane). 2. Cooler - Aerocool The Dminator. 3. MB - Abit KN9S. 4. 2x1024Gb DDR2-667MHz RAM. 5. HDD - Hitachi 320Gb HDT725032VLA360. 6. Video - Palit X1950GT 512MB 7. Sea Sonic SS-500. Now I think to buy Chieftec SH-01...
