Replies: 18

I have 3x80mm nexus fans undervolted. They're quite quiet, more so than my stock adda fans. I compared them side by side both undervolted. I find that the 80mm case fans define the noise floor on my system. They're not very loud, but i think a 120mm undervolted would be quieter obviously. Unless you...

xp-120 w/ nexus - better way of mounting?

I just finshed installing my xp-120 and nexus 120mm. Is there a better way of attaching the fan instead of using those clips provided? Though it's not coming off, it seems flimsy to me, as the wire clips are so thin and it's not "scrwed" securely to the fan. I thought about using zip-ties, but i'm t...

A couple questions, would the TNN be substantially cooler with an AMD? And, if i left it on for a week doing 24 hour downloads, with the occasional gaming, you think it'll overheat?

For the 160GB model, the IDE version is quieter (according to WD specs). I just got the 160GB model. It runs well. Gonna suspend it in a week or so. Not sure if it'll make a huge difference.
