I have that setup in my system, it works perfectly..

No fitment problems at all

i have never figured out why hard drives are not vacuum sealed. If they operated in a vacuum it would reduce the friction, hence lower the temp of the drive. they could then increase the rotational speed and while i am ranting. why are we still using 1 head per platter ! 2 heads would be twice as qu...

I have always had good luck with Samsung drives. so we now replace the duff drives we get in our IBM T series laptops with samsungs.

their quieter and seem a lot more reliable

The problem is that those HDD's will only use that power when they initially spin up, after that they use very little power. It's a shame none of your hard drives support staggered spin up, as you could easilty get away with a 350w psu i would say the 550 is more than enough. can i ask why do you ha...

i have a dual 2.8 xeon system, with the same 3u passive heatsinks. I found it was safer to fix a 80mm nexus fan to each heatsink, and run them at 5v, this pushes just enough air though to keep my xpu's at room temp. I do however have 2 120mm nexus fans on the case, 1 in (on side paned feeding the cp...

I have my raptors in silentmaxx hdd enclosures, and i cannot hear a thing from them. no seek noise or bearing noise.

the temps hover around room temp.

never though i could have a silent pc with raid 0

i couldnt turn my tv on with the remote, when i used a plexi case... lol had to bin it in the end

i think i was just unlucky, as i havent heard of many people who have had that serious a problem

I also fell into this hole. I have 6 sata drives running in my server, and i cannot read the temps of any of them You have to buy a decent raid controller that supports it, my supermicro card was cheap at $160 so it doesnt support smart. I have several temp probes tapes to the drives now, just to ke...

Ok for anyone in the UK looking to buy from mcmaster look at the smallprint

i got my credit card bill today, and noticed that i was charged $92 shipping !! doesnt show that on the order confirmation

yup arctic cooling are useless. their customer service is non-existant and their products do not live up to their marketing

i will be removing the fan from mine, and mounting a 80mm fan with a thermaltake ducting mod. should be quiet and move more air.

Damn that 12v reading cannot be right ?

they didnt charge me a penny for shipping ?

2 day shipping with DHL for free. fantastic

this stuff makes a nice difference as well, the idle noise from my hdd's is very nearly gone, i just need to make a box to cover the exhaust fan and it should be silent

i got 10 sheets for $31.60

I ordered 10 24" celing tiles from McMaster. 2 days delivery to the uk is fantastic.

i hope it makes a difference

Hey Mike i took no offence, and appreciate your advice.

Doesnt CWT make PSU's for antec, so wouldnt that make antec's psu crap as well ? :wink: it may well be a poor psu, but most the reviews i saw when i bought it 1 or 2 years ago said it was identical to the Antec units ! if i rememeber correctly Epox reccomended it to me as well, and i trusted them......

the 12volt rail seems to take most fo the current draw on my system as i watch it drop to 11.7 volts and then my PC reboot's. it's fine at moderate overclocks but when i push it harder then the current draw increases My processor is capable of doing 3.9ghz, but the PSU isnt :( My pc's isnt exactly c...

cheers guys.

i will check out the mcMaster stuff.

sorry bout the long link. thats the trouble with a wide screen monitor

In my search for acoustic foam that is not at a ripoff rpice i found this foam It is semi-closed cell acoustic foam. it has a high density backing for extra sound proofing !! shorter URL so the damn thing doesn't scroll sideways halfway to Timbuktu What do you guys think ? Edit by mod: Watch the lon...

Artic cooling have said that they will replace my cooler free of charge with their new version when it becomes available as they have admitted version 4 has problems with excessive noise on the majority of X800's although mine does it with 5,7 & 12 volts. might be worth emailing them to see if they ...

have you got any idea how long we will have to wait for them get a finnished case out for review or sale ?
