Just got my Enermax 420W noisetaker....

This PSU is much quieter then my Antec 430 True.. IM also getting much better 12V readings.. My antec was giving me 11.7-11.8 on the 12Volt side and the Enermax 420W is giving me 11.98-12.04. I have 3 hard drives two of them are SATA raptors, Geforce 6800, and a Plextor DVD burner along with 3 case ...

My first Silent setup...

Ive been an overclocker for a long time so the term Silent and overclocking never seemed to work well together. Seems to me heatsinks, fans, and controllers have come a long way and I can now get the best of both worlds. Here is what I have done to my rig so far.. Vantec Nexus 3.5" bay 4-fan control...

I just orderd the Enermax Noisetaker 420W to replace my antec 430W true.. the main thing im looking for is less noise a...

I had planned on giving these a try

http://www.directron.com/noisestrips.html

Will they fit between the drive and drive cage on my lian li 6070B? I have two raptors and a 200 gig I will be using these on.

Thanks for any advise!

Ok I read up on it... pretty neat idea. I think what I can do is use some pieces of silicone strips I have and lay them between the drive cage and the case.. there is a metal tab that fits into a slot that I can remove to eliminate a contact point. Two screws hold the drive cage down but I can use s...

Advice on my 6070B....

I purchased a 6070B about a week ago and need some help making it a little more quiet. I did use vantec stealth fans which I would have gone with panaflow or something else if I had joined this forum earlier. I do have them on a Nexus fan controller so they are quiet when turned down and still seem ...

I got the 35db 57cfm fan and SI-9 on order.. im going to put it and my case fans on a nexus fan controller so I have the adjustability if I need it. I think I need to dampen some more pieces inside my PC6070B as they dont dampen the floor of the case and only parts of the front are done.

Is this fan for real? My Stealth fans are 21db at 27cfm and 14 db at 28cfm is incredable.

The panaflow I listed is the one Thermalright recommends on thier site. Ive used thier 57cfm fan on an XP90 for a friend and it was just a hair louder then I want.. but overall wasnt to bad. Where is a good place to buy the SI97?

Ive been reading the SI-97 is better at cooling then the HT-101 but cant find a good comparison betwen the SI-97 and the SP-97. I plan on using the Medium 92mm panaflow fan 48cfm @ 30db which should be much quieter then my 38db Aeroflow. Any opinions?
