Since they didn't sell the backplate any more, I decided to go with the Swiftech APOGEE XT Back Plate for Mounting On LGA1156 http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=49258&promoid=1294 and the screws from the Zalman ZM-CS5A Clip Kit for Socket 1156 / 775 http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX27261 I had...

the s1 clearance space is just above the video card power plug. judging from the picture, no it will likely not but you with a little bending sure.

What if you leave the PSU so that it heats up a bit and the fan voltage is ramped up? Does the Scythe fan then start and keep running, even when the PSU has cooled enough to lower the voltage to its lowest point? Otherwise, you could just try one of the faster 80mm Scythe Kama fans (hard to tell wi...

Hi everyone I purchased a scythe Kama Flex fan 1500RPM (should be the same as the kama flows i think) to do a fanswap with the ADDA inside the NeoHE. After putting it back together i found that the header inside the PSU doesn't put out enough voltage to get the fan started.... Before I shell out mon...

I would go for the arctic cooling accelero s2, it passive and at a good price
i just got it for my friend yesterday
the installation seems a bit flimsy but secure enough

mine is about 45C with a ninja with a YL running at 800rpm
sounds fine to me

i have them and unless you got a really fast unbalanced fan they won't do really much

you better have a look at the space avaliable inside your case
yes the ninja would be good IF it fits

viewtopic.php?t=39819

go there
p180 case and the corsair psu
plenty of give left as you can see

i built the it in an antec 900 case for my friend
i was able to wrap the cable along the side and edge of the case to get to the plug
there there was still a bit of cable left maybe 2-3 inches

the cables with the corsair are a bit tight but they will fit
i would go for that

btw don't double post, it isn't nice....

lol nice
reminds me of how lucky i am for buying teh ninja just before they revised it

i bought my brand new for 35 canadian!

don't double post. first question: prob not since no room second question: yes but you gotta cut up your case to accomdate that third question: most likely but since you can't replace the 60mm fans with 80mm fans don't even think about it a little note, thermaltake cases tend to be made of thinner m...

the cables the came with my asus p5w are quite stiff. i think it's so stiff that it's causing vibration after i tuck away the cable in my p150. are there softer sata cables that are more flexibe?

the fans you get don't really matter
what matters is your heatsinks

92 nexus don't use ball bearings.
and they will do you just fine

i don't see any pictures!
where are the pictures!!?!?!?

i have one of those
best drive i've ever used
in fact mine is still in use and it hasn't failed me yet

it's not quiet in today's standards but it was quiter than my maxtor and quantum fireball

oh i forgot to add a pic of the screws


so from left to right
the difference between screw 3 and 5: 5 is larger than 3 in both threading and size of the head
1) hard drive screws for tray

when i first built my first comp things were simple. only a few types of screws and that's it. When i got my p150 it came with all these other screws that i've never seen before.... can someone tell me what they are for???

NCIX is going to sell them soon for about 9 dollars

though they are a bit expensive

i also have one spare

thanks i guess that answerd my question

i'll leave my case alone then...

Will removing the frame of a case fan improve airflow or decrease noise?

I don't care if you don't buy an antec case again. Your loss. How you trashed the button is beyond me. But have you ever thought of contacting Antec about a replacement button pieces? They have excellent customer service you know and they usually give and ship out small parts like leds and the rubbe...

3. I have bought an Apacer AE161 internal card reader (see http://www.apacer.com/en/products/Internal_Card_Reader_AE161.htm ) which I intended to mount in the 3.5" slot where the disk drive otherwise would be placed. However, the position of the screw holes in the 3.5" slot of the Antec SOLO case d...

1) It don't matter 2) you either use the trays or the rubber bands not both. Though some peoople leave the tray in to catch the hd in case the bands fail. As for the tightness, it should be one twist in tightness, no more, no less for a 3.5 inch HD 3) not sure about this problem as i have not encout...

here's the rule: use as little as you can to cover the die so that you can't see it anymore

most video cards use about .5 grain of rice or even less

i tried this cooler on my thunderbird 900 and compared it to my ac copper lite at 5v the copper lite is about 52 degrees the gt1000 at 5v using stock is pretty quiet and was 43 degrees if you don't already have it don't buy it cause thermalright si-97 probably preforms better also the gold plated fe...

It's thin, light and easy to work with.
Has anyone tried lining their case with it?
