In my experience the v.3 cooler is a great product. In a low airflow case it does make an impact on the case temperature compared to the passive Zalman, which I previously used in the system. I would say somewhere around 3-5 degrees improvement. I run it on a ATI9700, that is overclocked, on the low...

Nice. How about Komplett.se and Datorbutiken.se?

I just bought a 4090, unfortunately it gives off a slight electrical buzz which is not loud but definately both more irritating and louder than the 120mm fan. :( I read somewhere else in the forum that the buzz could be unit dependant? Did I just get unlucky or is this a common problem? What gets me...

:shock: Cheap! How can you say that? How much does it cost where you live? It is horribly expensive here in Sweden, in fact so expensive that I've ruled it out for use in my PC, even though it seems to work just fine. :( I don't know where you draw the line for expensive... but here are a couple of...

...or you can mod it. Remove the 80 mm and replace the stock 92mm with a quiet fan of choice. Run it of the 80 mm fan header if you like. Then you still have the temperature control for extra safety.

Worked wonders on my old box. Had no option for RMA.

The Papst 3412N2/GL is a great improvement over the Zalman.

Wow, nice work dude. Let me know your findings. Hmm, I've contacted them now. They do not sell the whiteline melamine. They can however get them from Illbruk. If I order 25 square meters. :shock: Would cost a fortune... Hmm, maybe I should order and remake my whole appartment. Quiet style... :wink:

Now from theory to practice. ;-) I bought a PSU muffler to test it and to try avoid breaking the PSU open to replace the fans and thus the warranty. All of the above posts may still be true, if you have an already quiet PSU. The one I have been testing it on is an Antec TruePower. The sound differen...

I wonder what the shipping to Sweden... <snip> Illbruk, the maker of the foam, actually have a reseller in Sweden. I received this address from their customer support.

Maybe we could make a group purchase and have it shipped to Sweden?

They are both running of the fan only line from the Antec Truepower (gotta replace it soon, to loud) PSU

It seems like its real random, some Papst 4412 click and others don't. I have two of them, one clicks quite badly and the other runs smooth. The clicking one is somewhat older but haven't been run all that much more. No experience with any other 120mm fans except for the Antec stock fan that came wi...

I've recently silenced my old P2 350

1. Replaced stock HSF, with a passive heat sink. Much like the first eBay offer above.
2. Modded the Enemax PSU; Removed the 80mm fan and swapped the 92mm.
3. Suspended the hard drives on foam

Very quiet. I can only hear it at night.

And another one: http://www.envynews.com/review.php?ID=426&page=1

Not really focusing on the stuff for us silence nuts, but still a few nice touches in the review.

They have the 300W in stock now: http://kylning.com/info.php?products_id ... 42c2fce765.

Thanks, I'll see if I can track them down here.

I've actually tried running a Thunderbird at 99°C+ for 15 - 30 seconds and it survived.

I was fiddling with the heatsink and didn't place it correctly. The BIOS reading was 99°C. I assume it was the maximum that could be displayed. Works fine today.

Yes, I have lined the case with bitumen, works to some extent for the vibration. Not entirely when all my drives spin up (4 of them incl. WD, IBM, Maxtor and Seagate), even with them in the built in grommets of the SLK3700 case, they can cause some irritating vibration in the lined case. It does go ...

You will probably loose some of the natural airflow. Hot air rises...

The Antec Sonata is somewhat smaller maybe it will fit your needs/space?

Kylning.com claimed that they were working on getting a Fortron PSU with 120mm fan when I emailed them last week.

OK, great. Would be even greater if someone like gtek.net or datorbutiken.com would start selling them since they tend to have lower prices than Kylning.com

The falconrock has been covered in another thread as well: http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=3272

Anyone know if Fortron is available in Europe? Preferably Sweden.

http://www.overclockers.se sells Panaflo for 125 skr.

If silence is the top priority I would also go for the single drive setup. If performance is desired then I would go with the 2 drive setup. RAID or non RAID two drives is faster. 2 heads to read and write your swap & temp files. Its a huge difference. I've tried single drive, RAID 0 and two drives ...

On the Antec 3700 and I image on any clones (D8000), there are actually some space to drill the holes. Right next the plastic fan holder screws used to be. No need to rotate or move the fan sideways.

Hmm, update. Now I HAVE noticed the clicking.

Should stop reading this forum never would have noticed it otherwise...

Anyway it is not really bothering me because there are still other noises present from my computer that drowns the clicking.

I recently bought this cooler, Spire FalconRock II, after reading that review. When first installed it performed 10°C better than my old ThermalTake Volcano 9 (manually turned down to low) when idle and 5°C better at load. I though great cooler! This was however in an open case. Now in a closed case...

Haven't experienced any noticeable clicking from the 120mm Pabst 4412FGL undervolted, or is it outgunned by the TruePower PSU fan? Which is the preferred low noise/non whining 80mm ~25cfm fan? The Pabst 19dB, Panaflo others? Since I would like that much airflow from this particular fan (CPU) undervo...

Yes, I have burned a CD at the same time as using other applications. Not heavy duty FPS games mind you. But normal computer use like 5 - 10 browsers windows, P2P application, Office programs. No problem. Never had any issues that I can track to the PSU. The Athlon Thunderbird is one of the chips th...
