thermalright sp-94 + 92 mm fan or 120mm fan via sunbeam pci

yes the 80mm fan on side is an exhaust fan, in the LC11 cool air is sucked into the case from bottom, then exit here at the side, but you give me a good sugggestion in terms of providing some ducting between the current heatsink and this exhaust fan can improve cooling originally the heat sink use t...

Anyone know of a low profile (<75 mm with fan) heat sink that can use a big fan (120 mm preferred) that I can put in this case ? http://avbuzz.com/bbs/av/av-uploads/2008/09/07/122079712802.jpg http://avbuzz.com/bbs/av/av-uploads/2008/09/07/1220797128.jpg Currently using Silverstone NT03 but headroom...

Upgrading cpu from 2.6 to 3E GHz Northwood and want to make sure I have enough cooling, currently using Silverston NT03 and thinking about going to the Shuriken... but wondering if this type of cooler might work as the airflow of this case is inverted : mobo/cpu is on the top ceiling of case facing ...

32 C and 29 C for rear and cpu temperature for my board, simply amazing ! ... I'm using a 80 mm Scynthe fan at the intake side of Ninja Mini to improve push-pull effect, hugh difference in terms of fin temperatures by touch (this cooler is awesome), cannot feel ANY heat. This blow fan may need to be...

Final finding is even a small two-wire 12V fan can permit the system to boot, still fan does not move though. I wonder if just shorting the wire or put a resistor in would do the trick, because apparently there is no voltage check, just continuity check from the mobo - any opinons here ? pop winxp h...

not sure how much money can be saved by cutting out the fan connector and cmos reset jumper, it is curious the soldered fan connector needs to be there (with fan attached) to boot to BIOS, but then at the same time the fan does not spin ! From a circuit point of view, the circuit needs to be connect...

well, might as well help myself; soldering the fan connector back & attaching a fan allows system to boot, but no fan I tested (60, 80 mm) turns on power up.

anyone knows how to make the fan turns also while adding different source of 12V ?

so system wont' boot - but the mobo was bought from ebay in US and now I'm in Asia. :oops: I did get into the BIOS by jumpering to CONFIG mode and also disabled the fan control, but cannot get rid of the fan error message. Maybe I should try recovery also - however the BIOS does indicate things are ...

Well yes it seem i got a lemon unfortunately, but the mobo was bought from ebay in US and now I'm in Asia. So I'll try to solder a connector back I did get into the BIOS by jumpering to CONFIG mode and also disabled the fan control, but cannot get rid of the fan error message. Maybe I should try rec...

after reseating things and clearing up cable connections/turning all fan controls to max, front LED, PSU and Scythe fan both turns on, CDROM working,RAM tested, mobo now POST but stuck at a fan prompt screen 1 Gateway [F2 Bios] [F10 Boot Menu] screen 2 BIOS version; RAM, keyboard, mouse, CDROM, ATAP...

Good question - didn't test that first as I worked on each piece separately and then assemble together.

friends building my NSK2400 following this forum's suggestions; all new components but not getting POST, what to check first ? :oops: NSK2400 + following changes - Case fan swab to 2 Scythe 120mm (connect to CPU fan connector) Swab PSU fan with Nexus 80 mm fan with Zalman 2 fan control (connect to r...

all reading this sticky including the links it made make me think the next advance would be suspending links that are heat conducting, e.g. metallic Stretch Magic ... IF an inexpensive solution can be found, that is in my Panasonic Toughbook, the 2.5"hd is very tightly covered by a metal casing (fo...

yes that's the tradeoff but one can use a small fanlike the Nexus Frisbee to blow at the drive maybe that the optimal solution (instead of encasing inside 3.5) -

Hi friends

I have an old motherboard with 20-pin connector, does that mean I can get rid of the 4 wire plug end ? This is not the same as the other 4 wire plug to the mobo, is it ? Jus that the wiring can be cleaner if so ...

thx ahead

Any friends figure out if the white color hi-lo fan switches can be reused in my 120mm Scythe fans ? Would like to save another fan controller if possible ...

thanks ahead

Read thru other threads w.r.t. suspending drives. But in the NSK2400 the drives are side-way up. What methods have people tried to suspend 2.5" Hard Drives ? I'm using Samsung 120 GB 2.5" drives ... not overeating would be nice of course


thanks

With a CDROM and real CPU like 3 G Prescott, this case has serious overheating problems. But I just found a fix after almost a year : http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=375532#375532 problem of the design is insufficient negative pressure to remove heat buildup (of course for a Pre...

got 48 C from XPC, 43 C from Speedfan, don't know why they're different but both are stable baselines from many runs

Honestly I have been fighting the heat problem of this Prescott 3G machine whole of last year, after it cooked & killed 2 Seagate 200 GB Sata HDs. Problem is no air flow on top space to cool the drives. Not able to cool it sufficiently I have moved all the drives outside for 6 months. But in the pro...

can you provide some temperatures at the graphics card side ? Because blowing in, they will have much hotter in-bound air ...

friends what would be a good quiet and cool AGP graphics card that fit this case ? Have been using the 6600GT so would like something better (for video & HD). I'm using an Intel mATX board with 478 socket and probably the Ninja Mini for the mobo. I don't need passive .... The PSU fan swap seems a bi...

Read through most of the NSK2400 threads and I'm now totally confused due to info mix-ups :) I'm using a Intel D865GLCLK S478 mATX to rebuild an HTPC using older chips/ram (2.8 or 3 G), but want the most quiet performance (without buying another PSU), as it is sitting next to my bed - is the Thermal...

I have been using Compro USB 2.0 Live external TV box .. while the picture performance is not bad, the driver and power issues left much work (and they're not fixing it) Basically it needs additional DC power from additional transformer after the USB driver is initialized in WinXP, so one has to man...
