Well, the PS2 can be mounted horizontally or vertically

My Samsung CDRW/DVD doesn't have mounting clips but my sony CDRW does

Don't know if this has been posted before but its available in the UK for about the same price as the 300W fanless

£117.44 at Overclockers UK

The only fan i have in my system has closed corners and its a stock fan that came with my case

Everflow one with a silverstone case

The case actually makes an enourmous difference to CD Drive noise. I used to have a dell case and now i've gone to a solid metal silverstone. CD drive noise is probably about 25% of what it used to be, really amazing

Sorry, wasn't aware of that rule

Will resize them now

EDIT: now smaller and thumbnailed

That reading could be totally wrong

Only way you will really know is by putting a temperature probe on it

sucking off heatsink and blowing out the back

Sorry, was really tired when i posted them.

Resized now

They dont have to be so huge, i took them at about 1am and couldnt be bothered to resize them at that time in the morning

Glad you liked it

Well, just taken some pics of my suspension: Overall pic: http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/2489/end4tb.th.jpg Side on: http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/5679/sideend5ph.th.jpg Joining the elastic: http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/3163/mounting1as.th.jpg The initial idea was to have a massive X ...

Thats what i needed to hear Thanks, cant believe how much difference it makes! Can you show us a picture of what you've done? Well as promised i just took some pics, chance to test out the camera on my lovely new K750i. All pics taken in a pitch black room with night mode and flash on phone. Macro ...

Best to play a game or something for a while before removing a heatsink, softens the thermal paste making it easier to remove

Thanks, looks very english to me

Says my drive is already on lowest setting, thought it had it turned up to full. Ah well its fairly quiet anyway

Thanks
Ben

I would have thought the samsung 250GB would be a better bet. Ive got a 160GB and the new bigger ones are meant to be quieter.

Should be very quiet

Not got a floppy disk drive on the pc and i want to enable AAM. I know i had some software that had a slidder on it to set the AAM level but cant find it on my system and have no idea what it was

So whats out there that will run on a windows XP system?

Thanks
Ben

You could make an X and either turn the hard drives upside down or remove staple and restaple with it on the other side

I can bet you that getting a fanless gpu will take the noise levels down hugely!

I have an arctic cooler on my radeon 9800Pro and its the noisiest component by far

So your XP-120 has no fan of its own?

Thats right

Glad cardboard should be ok

Thanks, looked up the IT8712F which should show 3 temps (As it does).

LM75 should show 1 temp which it does but everyone who's commented on speedfan site says they got bad readings (like mine)

Didn't see ACPI on there though, whats this?

Ben

Well, the first temp1 and temp 2 are both just above ambient at the moment and the last temp 1 is below ambient temp.

I guess that means the last temp 1 can be disregarded aswell.

That leaves what? A northbridge temp? A motherboard temp?

Regarding the first post, you could try the xp120 without a fan. Thats what i'm doing at the moment and my temps are low. I am however using a lowish power cpu, P4 2.26 with 533FSB. Its meant to give out 67.6W which is quite low.

Just made a cardboard duct....was bored! Well it works and it works very well! Case fan is at 7v and temp in the warmer UK weather today is 29C whilst im using it so a bit more than idle temps. CPU is a 2.26Ghz P4 which draws 67.6W apparently. So what i really want to know is, are cardboard ducts sa...

Yea i wondered what the 2C reading was, no fridges in there! Don't think the BIOS has the temps in there, just tells me CPU temp and fan speed. Will have a look though System specs are: CPU - Identified Samsung Spinpoint - Identified Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 Pro-G Sapphire Radeon 9800Pro (None of the te...

Welcome to the Forum!

I only need the card for games.

So looks like fanless will do. But obviously its still safer to go fanned but quiet ie vf700.

Will have a look around

Thanks Melon, anybody got experience with the thermaltake schooner?

Just found out that ATI Tool can take Radeon 9800Pro temperatures.

Idle when underclocked is currently 59C and load was about 70C

Seems reasonable. Thats with ATI1 cooler, not sure on fan speed

Got a load of different temps showing in speedfan and no idea what all but 2 of them are

Any ideas?



Thanks
Ben

probably by connecting the red and black wires but wait for someone else to confirm

Are you using the same hard drive as you did with your previous setup?

Think i had that issue once and a 'repair' install of windows sorted it
