Ok so I got the 212+. It seems to cool very well. Only problem is the fan is extremely annoying. Even at 800rpm it has this really high pitched annoying bearing sound. I thought it was electrical noise from my power supply at first but I narrowed it down to the fan. The noise just gets louder and lo...

Any LGA 1156 HSF's?
Are there any good quiet HSF's out for this platform yet? I couldn't find any, including adapters.

Silverstone FT01
Has anyone tried this case? It has two 18CM fans (in the front and top) and has sound damping material on both side panels. With the fans undervolted I think it would cool a powerful gaming rig quietly. http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_contents.php?pno=FT01&area=usa http://www.silverstonetek...

I haven't found my GTX 260 to be as "silent" as this article suggests. At idle @ 40% fan speed, it's similar to a dull roar and is easily the loudest thing in my system, and my computer is far from silent! When gaming this thing really starts going and sounds like a vacuum cleaner several rooms away...

Quiet gaming system?
I have an E6600, overclocked 320mb 8800GTS, 1 WD2500KS hard drive, etc in a P182 case. I got rid of the 3 tricools and replaced them with 2 Scythe Slipstream 800s, one on the top rear and one as a middle intake on the top HDD cage. While it's relatively quiet, it's still not where I want it to be. T...

It sounds like you have a very rapid change in temps in the aquarium, which is harmful for the fish. Comets are coldwater fish so I'd imagine they won't like high temps. From wikipedia: "Goldfish may be coldwater fish, but this does not mean they can tolerate rapid changes in temperature. The sudden...

How to eliminate P182 top vibration?
I only have one hard drive, a WD2500KS that's screwed into the grommets, but the top panel vibrates and often turns into a hum, even though there is no fan mounted there! Pushing down on the top eliminates this humming, but I'm surprised because practically no other part of the case is vibrating and...

When you use an exhaust fan at the back of the P182, YOU HAVE TO block the top opening, else there will be a "air short" : your exhaust fan will draw air from there and not from your case. I actually kept it open. I had it sealed but I'm using the stock intel HSF (piece of crap), and it was way too...

Scythe Slipstreams - clicking
One of my Slipstream 800rpms developed a clicking seemingly overnight. What seems to happen is that as the fan is turning, it slightly moves in and out, creating a noise. You can recreate it easily just by moving the blades with your finger. It keeps getting worse and worse, and now I can sometimes ...

40C // 60C Uh, no? It would be very hard to get those temps on stock cooling unless you turn the fan up to 100% or something, which obviously increases noise. The guy just asked for good GPU temps.
