Thanks guys!

So... is it quiet at minimum speeds? All reviews I've read say it's silent, but I don't trust any hardcore OCer reviewers, because they call LOUD fans QUIET. Their "silent" may not be that quiet...

Bah, perhaps I should finally give up and get SLK-800 with Papst NGL.

Heh, not too sure actually. No mention of it on Coolermaster's website, but Jimm's PC-store, a Finnish netstore sells it. It's 2€ cheaper than Aero 7+ and apparenly doesn't have adjustable fan. The fan is 80mm, though. Might be an unofficial product, because Coolermaster says there's 70mm and 80mm v...

Has anybody had any experiences of these? They look very promising but how's the noise? Apparenly 7+ has a variable fan but Aero 8 hasn't, but on the other hand, the Aero 8 is bigger, 80mmx80mm. Also, is the cooling good at min? Thanks.

Many thanks karmasalad. Might pick it up someday.

Huh? Can anyone explain me why my HDD is 25 C while my system temp is 40 C? [/offtopic]

Nice to hear you like it Pjotor. Might consider about getting it.

Abit KG7-Lite
AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.33 GHz
Kingston 768 MB DDR
ATI Radeon 9700
LG CD-RW 48x16x48x
Liteon 52x CD
some floppy
Maxtor 40 GB
1 60mm fan on CPU
1 120mm fan as exhaust
Sound Blaster PCI
Asuscom ISDN adapter
some networkcard

All this on HEC 300 W. Needless to say, I'm very satisfied.

So you think, but we ATI fans are NOT quiet.

Sorry I couldn't resist.

Damn, I guess I'll have to get a new heatsink then. I'm just worried about the installation...... especially the cleaning part.....

Thanks. What were the fans' specs? dBA? RPM? CFM?

How do they perform? MY Volcano 6cu has a "31 dBA, 32 CFM" 60mm fan, but after some research I've come to the conclusion that the fan is actually only 21 CFM and is spinning at 5400 RPM (!). So, I was wondering if a 19 dBA, 26.5 CFM fan spinning at 2050 RPM would be much quieter and also provide muc...

I just ordered the P80 120GB hd today from Newegg (managed to sell my old 5400rpm Maxtor so the upgrade to this was pretty cheap). :) I should be getting it in at the end of this week or early next. I'll report back on how it is then. Cool!:) Please tell me how you like it when you get it, ok? User...

Thanks everybody, I think I'm gonna get the P80-series SP1203N (120 GB), as it seems to be fast enough and reasonably priced (120 €). I just hope it's as quiet as it claims to be.... my Maxtor's driving me insane....

Thank you.......

Too bad I can't find the 8 mb versions... how much would they cost? I don't really need that much performance (my oooooold Maxtor is perfect performance-wise) so would it make any sense to get the 8 mb version?

So, the P80 is a good investment?:)

I was looking for a new, quiet HDD and came across this Samsung drive. The shop lists it as "NEW" and it's fairly cheap. I've read the review here in SPCR and Samsung's SP1604N got very good scores. Well, using my brains, I deducted that the SP1203N would also be very good. So, is Samsung SpinPoint ...

Gee thanks guys!
You've been really useful. Gotta convince my dad to loan me his credit card, though.

Thank you very much! Think I'm going to order one or two.

Hey thanks a lot kork!
I'll have to take a look at that. So it's just that £6.49 and nothing more? Free shipping? What about taxes? Also, how long it took to receive the fan(s)?

Hello! I'm currenly having problems standing my Thermaltake Volcano 6cu and its horrible fan, and I've finally decided to buy Thermalright SK-7. After many weeks of research, I still haven't decided what fan to use with it. I'd like to have as good temperatures as with my Volcano (45 C idle, 53 C fu...
