Upgrade time...P180B still viable?
Hey all...haven't done much with my pc in several years, built a quiet C2D rig 3-4 years ago and loved it, over the years its gotten dusty and a little louder. I'm looking forward to purchasing a i7 2600K in the next few weeks and have a few things undecided, primarily which case to use. I have my P...

sounds like you have case cooling issues, fix that and your g3 ti500 should be able to run passive. I could disco the fan on my 6600 and it ran fine, i had a 120 in the front with free flowing air from it to the graphics card though so that definitely helped. if you are that lazy, just go buy a new ...

haha! actually for now, im satisfied with the setup. I'm going to let the AS5 burn in, because right now with all the fans running at about 6-7v (rheostats) The system temp is 39C ~ 10C drop with the ambient temp pretty much the same. The FB123 is great - but doesnt fit over the zalman VF700-CU with...

there are many. The Artic Cooling Silencer 5 rev 2 should fit on your 6800gt, they're large, quiet, and vent heat out the back. Also another good choice - the one I made is the Zalman VF700-CU. I got it for $32 shipped 2day(in the us) from zipzoomfly.com came today. This thing is sweet. The "silent"...

woohooo, my zalman vf700-CU and fb123 came today. The Yate Loon's came yesterday. I get to spend another 2 hours re-wiring my case! Hopefully I can get the fans to fit, and maybe even fix my old fan controller. I'll post pics when i'm done :) I like this cooler weather. With ambient temps of 74F my ...

wow... THats actually pretty cool. The link is bad, extra url in there. but before i saw the price i figured "i can make one myself" but my time is worth more then that!

Yeah, they are definitely intended for use in 2u servers with flow through design. I'm sure I could get some pretty good results if i could make a duct for the rear 120 to pull air through the heat syncs from the front. For not, they have cooled off to around 45c idle, still not perfect, but for the...

Thanks Mike, I am going to try to find a fan controller - but The last one i had, a baytech I think, Had 4 SUPER BRIGHT blue LED's on it. Worked great if i was afraid of the dark or something :) But for now, this rig is sweet, much quieter then my old watercooling setup, but thats just because my Hy...

I was in the same boat as you. I decided on the TP2 550. I did a lot of research, and while the seasonics may be quieter, i wished SPCR would do a review on it (hence my poll :D ) The main reason i decided on the TP2 550, simple, i got it for $80 vs the $120ish i was going to have to spend on the S1...

Thanks for that nici - i didnt have my volt meter handy and it was late so i figured typing was easier then opening the case again :) As far as my temps go, i havn't had a chance to do any benches - it seeems like it is idling kindof high though.

I am using the "fan only" connector for all the fans, they have to be set on high to even run. Is the "fan o...

Bring on the critics! My P180 Dual xeon wiring

true, but they are on the same 'power line" and the fan that is "closer" to the power supply is the one that is stopping first. Even after switching them, no difference. and as to the second one, these are outside of the case, sitting on top actually. less friction maybe it'll last longer too - not ...

2 Antec 3ways - 1 spins longer after powerdown
Just checking my thinking.
I have two of the antec 3tri cool fans, the ones for the bottom compartment. If one fan spins longer after being powered down (and being set to high) its a better fan correct? Spinning longer without power means less friction.
Thanks for double checking my thinking.

Is this something that is being considered? Possibly done in the near future? I don't have the money or time to buy two different power supplys and do testing myself.

Antec P180 came - but the top is scratched!
I suppose i should take this up with the place i orderd it from. But i havnt been able to figure out whethe ror not it is possible to remove the top of the P180? Looks to me like its riveted down pretty solid. If so maybe i can just get a part from antec directly, probably faster, as return shipping...
