if only there was a (small) case with space for BD/DVD drive so normal people can actually use this

interesting...

i got 2 of the fractal design 140s ... and tested against the antecs
they're placed in front intake of Fractal Design R4 case

with the Fractal Design fans while the CPU & system temp is lower by at 5 deg celsius, the HDD temps are up 1-2 degrees ... not the way i wanted it to go...

got this to replace a fractal design r2 140 (included in the R4 case) which broke a blade when i stuck my finger in it-by mistake ... it worked it just wobbled if speed was low. antec twocool seem to have some whine/more noise at highest speed- compared to the FractalDesign ones, but what im wonderi...

first thoughts: not as quiet as cooler master silencio 550 it replaced but much nicer design, in and out* the hdd isolation things dont isolate that much vibration airflow doesnt seem that good with the included fans(front and back, at 7v, which seem to blow more than coolermaster case fans did), au...

hate ads, commercials. i block all visual ads i see. sorry.
text links dont bother much unless stupid popups arise from them.

does audio work over hdmi?

+1 on limiting the read speed of your drive with Nero DriveSpeed

i just installed this, and scanned it, chkdisked it, smart info looks all good, but every some minutes it makes like a "click" sound maybe like its parking the head or something... (i'm noticing that after i dont use the computer for a couple minutes, go back and browse its directories it does a cli...

hehe, i think its kinda cute, looks like a fat little pig

so... how can you stand gaming then? .. even more: how can you stand those noises right in your ears when using headphones ?
just curious

i got a paperclip and cut 3 parts about 3/4 inch long,
plugged 1 fan in fanmate, the 3 paperclip parts in the top holes of the connected connector, then plug the 2nd fan into the paperclip,
fits like a glove

maybe you should try on another forum, like where mac-heads chat, even on dslreports.com they have a mac forum, try there.

its hard to search thru these many posts,
is it ok to connect more than one fan to the zalman fanmate? (i have the first version)

i just hooked up 2 zalman 92mm, and the fanmate is at minimum
seems to be ok (no fire yet), but i'm wondering if adding another would be too much?

it was connected to motherboard, and in windows slowed with speedfan
so i guess the mobo is PWM, speedfan is just software?

so all this time ive been living with a clicking sob fan controlled by speedfan,

and then today i stickit in the zalman fanmate, and look!
no clicking!
to think of all the hair-pulling clicker moments i could have avoided...

really. autoverifying? is that why a new seagate died 1 month later without notice... seems to me this feature is useless.

was going to get one for the case and one to try to fanswap the 92 on the zalman 7000alcu,

they'll need to be undervolted- i dont know how much the cpu fan is at-with the fanmate but maybe between 7-5v (its not 5 because the zalman starts clicking at lowest fanmate)

heh, none of those features running either

too bad, the guy on ebay doesnt have the 92mm yl anymore.

have 2 seagate 200gb and 1 maxtor i think its the seagates that keep seeking or something every minute on the system drive its the stupid firewall software that uses registry and config files, but on both theres activity that does not show up in Filemon, but i hear them moving and couple seconds lat...

theres a windows freeware that reads SMART data,...found it: hddscan http://hddguru.com/content/en/software/2006.01.22-HDDScan/ in IDE features (i guess i dont know if it does SATA) theres a buttons for spin up, down, and power management with a 'idle timer' i dont use it but i remember it worked to...

googled for like half hour, cant find a store... someone know any?

hi

its a 550VA belkin ups with AVR, got it because previous psu had no power correction and where i lived a brownout busted my hdd.

case is bad, bad airflow, i forget the make/model

this thing is indeed very quiet, now, i need a quiet case fan: the zalman 92mm doesnt blend in the noise anymore :) the zalman cpu fan i think 7000AL? on my p4 2.8 is very quiet at low speed, no clicking no noises. the corsair hx520: if outside the case, my ear within 1/2 meter i can hear an electro...

i think u should start your own topic, so more people will see it

hey, look at this: msi media live svid, hdmi, dvi, component, spdif coax + optical vfd display remote newegg's description also includes wifi, bluetooth, and the dvd drive (but im not sure, might be a typo) ~380$ incl ship. + cpu +mem it would be all done!... too bad cant find any reviews on it... t...

they cant be quiet because laser printers use a high intensity lamp 300W? to heat a roller that fuses toner to paper.
i think usually have >1 fan also (usually seen NMB fans)

maybe someone tries a fan swap

recently find the ahanix 301/302 ... but almost no stores sell them... i will put a mATX am2 mobo with DVI, svideo tv-out, optical out, and an AMD processor that will be capable of playback dvd, hd mpegs 1080i. no tv tuner plans. no gaming. video/audio playback only are there any efficient coolers i...
