I have an Ati Silencer 5 rev. 2 on my x800gto and i''m desperate. :cry: From day one it clicked like mad when connected to the card. I have no idea how Arctic Cooling tests those fans but PWM is turning them into clicking beasts. I somewhat reduced the PWM clicks by connecting it to an analog fan co...

Double enclosure is probably overkill, but i bet would make even the noisiest drive dead silent :twisted: 187x118x38 as the first box placed with gel packs around in a 222 146 55. The best size without wasting space has to be like this : First box without middle screw mountings :170x120x35 Second bo...

I think this place is where all the enclosures come from :lol: http://www.industrial-enclosures.com/html/al001-aluminum-enclosures.html http://www.industrial-enclosures.com/html/al002-aluminum-enclosures.html The perfect size would be a 180~185 x ~140 x ~55 as nici said. I have mailed industrial-enc...

Thanks alleycat! If The answer comes from the "mind" then i rest assured
I was thinking though... what about the power and SATA connectors?
146mm hard drive + ~ 2 cm the SATA connector = tight fit

Sorry for bumping such an old thread but i need some opinions. Standard hard drive dimensions are 146 x 101 x 25mm. What do you guys think, will a SATA spinpoint fit in a 171 x 121 x 55 Aluminum Die-Cast Box Sealed with some gel packs around it? I plan to use two of these on my slk3000b's floor, one...

Before i've seen your pics a saw the atached image here and i foolishly assumed the board limits the single video card mode to the lower PCIe slot.
Am am assured it works in any of the two now

Nice rig Darxus! I was thinking of getting the same mobo as a replacement for my Abit an8 ultra (I need extra space in the lower part of the case to place 2 hard drive enclosures.)
Can only one video card function in any of the two PCIe slots?

jermaink, please read this - http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=163220 Direct link to guide It doesn't take more than 3-4 minutes to set up like 10 thresholds or more.

15.8 has new features that make it easy to set temp controlled fan speeds.

:lol: Expert tool compared to rivatuner is like a gf2mx400 near a 7800gtx :lol: (yes i've tried it) With either of them you can set the fan to separate values for 2d/3d and exit the program and even have that values automatically aplied after loging into windows. Thats about all expert tool can do. ...

It's not by nvidia, it's from a russian guy Alexey Nicolaychuk aka Unwinder. I'm surprised there are people who don't know about rivatuner yet
IMHO it's the most powerful tool for nvidia users. (ati cards suported as well )

I had it at 7v and manual control from the Akasa fan controler. The problem is that sometimes i forget to turn the fan @ 12v during 3d games and probably the core gets quite hot. :oops: So recently i started experimenting with rivatuner's capabilities of setting the fan speed acording to core's temp...

Well, what is it? 6, 7 or 8 minimum voltage for the an8ultra.
In this screen i see 6v for low

AC acknowledge the problem with the ram tape with the NV5 rev3 and thats why they backordered all the stock and the release date was reschedule and its being re-worked. ETA is Nov. 15 Well, what was it? The "3 pin" or the "ram tape"? Coolguys says "Back in stock!" http://www.coolerguys.com/84055603...

I would certainly be interested to test that one! Anyone...

Nexus has a good reputation and based only on that i don't think they made a product that doesn't deliver.
I stiil have to see a serious review though.

The reference drive that we used to evaluate the reduction in airborne acoustics was the noisiest drive we could find in the lab. Its identity will not be revealed to protect the innocent. Suffice to say that it has seen over three years of daily use, and is no longer being manufactured. Well....i ...

the toshiba and samsung notebook drives are very quiet, i wonder if it is possible to lower the rpm of an HD from 7200rpm to say 4200rpm only when desired -- not permanently. when, for example, reading text or listening to music or watching dvd. it should be even more silent and cooler running at t...
