Do you ever have any problems with SATA power cables disconnecting from the drives? I've found SATA power cables to be horribly unreliable. I prefer the solid connection you get with molex connectors, but IDE drives are gradually disappearing...

... but so few low-profile cases???

<--- obviously impatient for the Micro Fusion...

My temps are okay, but I'm always looking to go lower. What can I put next to my video card that will *quietly* push air out of the case?

They also sell a Thermaltake A2329 Silent Cat.

The Nexus is for people who either don't know about fan controllers, or who don't want to know. Avoid the "Silent" Cat at all costs!

Ummm... what if you have a Nexus and undervolt it???

It's a very good footrest.

It's a very bad motorcycle.

Really.

quiet enough 4 me.

That's a nice temp! I guess it just depends on your priorities... I used to have a VF900, but I found it too loud. *shrug*

Now THAT is a hot card...

I notice they've placed it in a new product category, "Veris." Also, it now includes an IR receiver (how they missed this originally is beyond me).

Now they just need to add the Micro Fusion! Please please please!!!

I don't know if saxxon is still around... my most recent PMs to him are still in my "Outbox"...

My Gigabyte is in a Solo. You can't go wrong with that combination.

From what I have heard, this thing runs SCORTCHING HOT. But that is all I know :D That is false. Most people are getting excellent temps with this card. Mine is idling at 46C currently. I've heard reports of some "squealing" sounds coming from it - I'm waiting for some time to go by for more report...

The absence of the Micro Fusion is very disappointing... but the new Overture looks interesting. Any word on release dates?

It's not a trend if you only have 2 data points and one of them turns out to be false.

Well, I'm an idiot. My 120mm Nexus was running at 12V. Things are much quieter now. I do remember stopping all the fans, but I must have done that before I switched the voltage...

Didn't say it's annoying or that it's making a racket... just that it's the loudest component. In my SOLO case, I also have a Nexus 120mm @ 5v, a Scythe (Ninja stock fan) @ 7v, and 2 x Nexus 92mm @ 5V. The video card is a passive Gigabyte 8600GTS. I can stop all of the fans at the same time without ...

How can I get it quieter?

Not gonna help much with the Fusion

Ah, I see.

Uhhhh... why did you link to a review of the NSK2400 when you're talking about the Overture II? They are VERY different cases...

For anybody who's interested, I got a reply from Antec's Director of Channel Relations:

I'm sorry, but I don't have that information at this time.

Anyone know when it's coming out?

*chirp chirp chirp*

Anybody know when the Micro Fusion will be out? From what I've seen, that would fit my needs perfectly!

Note that I said "quietish"... I know some sacrifices must be made in these cases. That said, any fans smaller than 80mm are out of the question. Anyway, I'm looking for a low-profile case with either an IR receiver, or a 3.5" bay that can accomodate one. It will also need to accomodate an optical d...

Never had any "squealing" from mine...

... except that the SOLO cools better than the P180 -- in my experience, at least.

Ninja.

I agree with others that actual temperature READINGS are needed. My passive Gigabyte 8600GTS idles below 50C... I love this card.

Re: What Max Slowik said, you can use Ntune to get the temps, if you're not already using something else like Everest.

Catapult wrote:Can someone who has the the accelero s1 post how long does it add to the length of the card. In mm please.

I don't know the exact measurement, but when I had the passive X1950Pro, the S1 blocked the 2 SATA ports closest to the PCI slot on my MIS K8NGM2-FID. This cooler is long and tall.
