Hmm.. I was going to set it at 3V, but I over resisted it. I'll fix it sometime, I guess.JazzJackRabbit wrote:So far I counted two fans: one CPU fan and one exhaust... So which is it, one or two? Also, it's a really bad idea to run PSU fanless as they fail easily.

I only have one working fan in my computer. What do u think?
So basically I'm a freak on silence. I use only Nexus fans because Vantec Stealth suck, and Nexus is even quieter than Panaflo. The only ones that come close are Papst, or SilenX. Anyways, I have a 92mm Nexus on the CPU. That's it. The PSU had a 80mm, but I stuck some resistors in it and I guess I g...

That sounds pretty good. Actually the lct20s have 128KB of buffer...not even 2MB. What if I got a 120GB 8MB and partitioned it into two drives... C: for OS, Program files (40Gigs) and D: (80Gigs) D: would have personal documents, etc. Could I have one 40GB lct20 in a Raid 1 for the first 40G of D:, ...

Help me choose a nice silent yet well performing HDD setup.
I currently have two 4500rpm 40.0GB Maxtor/Quantum lct20 Fireball drives. 128KB Cache. C: has system files and OS. Usually below 20GB. D: has documents and music, videos. Everything that I need to save for a format. Almost at capacity. The D: is running out of space, and I'm thinking of upgrading. W...

Re: Need Help: I have 4 Exhaust Fans... Suction? What to do?
My HDD's do NOT have SMART-HDD Temp ability. So I have no HDD temps. Don't ask. I tried 4 programs. You'll want to try enabling SMART in the BIOS, then they might work... I checked the Specs on these HDD's. They DO have SMART, but not the temp sensing ability. Back on Topic.. how would I position t...

Well, from my other thread, I do have a lot of exhausts. Unfortuately this case is not designed with intake in mind. As of right now, I only have 3 exhaust fans - one on top, one on the back and on for PSU. All are silent - either at 7V, or are Nexus (real 18dBA unlike the Vantec Stealths which lie....

you'd end up either with air being forced backwards in through any lower cfm/pressure exhausts, I think this is what's going on. Since my fans are grommeted, they have about 1/3" space away from the case. I presume the air is going around the sides of the fan, pulled in by suction, then expelled ou...

Hey, so you probably know me from the other System Advice thread (http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=15753) about the computer. I have 3 exhaust fans (case, top part, and PSU) and 0 intakes. This is alright, but I also sealed up all my extra holes, so there are virtually no holes at al...

I guess this thread is coming to an end. Turns out I could mount a 92mm exhaust on the TOP of the case. So, I've got a 7V Nexus (thanks to fancalc) in my PSU, a 12V 92mm Nexus on the top of the case, 12V 92mm Nexus on the CPU, 80mm Nexus on the Exhaust, and an 80mm UV CCFL Sunbeam @ 7V just for show...

I might be in another deal for them. Just let me know how much you'd be willing to pay. I have Heatware under simms (55). Should I take the SilenX? I heard about the scandal that was here on SPCR a while back.... and I'm not sure whether to try them or not. I also believe it's the 14dba version. Simon

I just got a deal, my two Vantecs (80 and 92) for a 92mm SilenX. Should I do it? I just bought the 92 Nexus yesterday though. Yes, I'm aware the SilenX makes fans anywhere from 9-14dBa (I emailed him to find out which one it was). Should I do it? What should I do about the 92mm Nexus then? And also ...

The L1A that's in your PSU? I'd let the PSU take care of that. Heh, if you can hang that undervolted steath by the exhaust, it might do some good. I bet that L1A is louder than a 5V Stealth right now. By the way, err, how much quieter was the Nexus than the Stealth? heh, diffcult question to answer...

Short on cash. I did get the 92 Nexus today and it is MUCH quieter. I'm gonna start sealing off the outside of the case with saran wrap. Temps are about 2C higher with the Nexus. I didn't get the 80s today. No cash on me, and probably not for a while. I might as well use the 5V'd 80 Stealth as a cas...

Awesome. Will pick up the 92mm tonight. I plan on using the Stealths (92 and 80 @5V) as my exhaust fans. Better yet, I think the fan covers snap off, so I might not even have to dremel. If I use teh 92 and the 80, which should go up top? The 92, or the 80? I think the 92.. but your input would be ap...

Thanks for all of your replies, much appreciated. I'll unplug the 92 Stealth and get back to you on how much of a difference it makes. The PSU is actually an Enlight pull that I've had since 00 or so, I pulled the cheapy PSU out. That L1A in there, I probably don't want to mod because I don't feel l...
