well i am sure this has been discussed a lot already but i am having trouble finding info on notebook drives. speedfan and dtemp both show my fujitsu notebook drive at 40C at idle after a few hours... I think this is safe but i am not sure... if it was a 3.5" drive i would def be concerned just beca...

just something simple like system becomes unstable or will it ruin your psu and or other hardware?

so i decided to use some old comoputer parts and build a quiet(hopefully silent) pc. For now it has a wd2500 hard drive which is loud but will be replaced with a 2.5" fujitsu most likely and a ultra psu which is loud and will also be replaced ----> http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?...

oh yeah, only needs the 20pin atx and 2 4pin molex... no fdd. I would be willing to build one if it would be cost effective but i think it probably wont be.

http://www.silverstonetek.com/images/products/lc19/lc19-v5.jpg Or something that would work for the setup below. maybe a small case with an external psu(needs to be silent tho) if such a thing exists. It is from an lc19... It just needs to power the mobo(m7ncg 44 biostar)/cpu(amd 3000+) one hd and ...

yeah i will look into that...

have any of you guys seen a cube case for a full atx mobo... needs 7 pci slots

ok so i have an old ultra case and i just installed a big typhoon and now there is only about 1/4 to 1/2 inch between the case door and the fan. when the door is on temps go up at least 7C so i just run it with the door off... but i dont want to cuz with the door on it is more quiet. any ideas on a ...

yeah the hd suspension is all but pointless but i really didnt have any other way to mount it... didnt really want it lose in the bottom or the case.

I am fine with cutting out the fan grill but a passive heatsink scares me... Correct me if I am wrong about this... (In a very quiet room) My HD is 2.6 bels which is 26db.(I think) I can barley hear it when psu and cpu fans are stopped. Fans like nexus 120 run around 22db so even with 2 of them it w...

yeah I guess I think I will go with one of the thermalright ones and a nexus 120mm on the HS and maybe another on for exhaust. I might just get like 2 or three 120s that have the best cfm i can find and put them on an external switch for when i have my cpu under load. i dont know, I just bought the ...

nah. your post wasnt too long. i will look into all of those.

as for overclocking it would only be a little bit... not squeezing every bit outta my cpu. i oced it from 2.6 to 3.4 and idle temps went up to 4-6C. that doesn't seem like much temp difference to be concerned about right?

Im not really worried about the size of the heatsink but its effectiveness. I dont wnt high temps when running a quiet (which will probably mean a lower CFM) fan. Hell, if I could mount a quiet fan on my stock heatsink and it would stay cool I would but I dont think there is any way to mount one w/o...

oh yeah, whats a good place to get nexus fans?

Ok so I want a computer that can run while i sleep. That means it has to be almost completely silent. Anyways this is what I have so far. https://oncourse.iu.edu/access/content/user/jbrowe/Filemanager_Public_Files/Pictures/mb.jpg https://oncourse.iu.edu/access/content/user/jbrowe/Filemanager_Public_...

I hate how loud my comp is... have wd caviar that is so loud... louder than anything else in the case. think ill get a scorpio to replace it. other than that the only fan (minus the 0dba psu which i cant hear unless the hd and cpu fan are off) is the cpu fan. it seems a little noisy for my taste. st...

The samsungs dont exceed 35C without any metal to metal contact? if that is the case I would almost certainly go that way.

my wd caviar is idling at 36C and its mounted. with both sides touching metal.

I just want something that is as quiet as possible without risking damaging the drive.

Ok, so my 250 gig caviar from at least 3 years ago but could be more is the loudest thing in my computer by far. i just built a new comp that has a 0dba psu passive colled vid card and the stock cpu is the only fan that runs. it reuns cool and quiet but the hd is too damn loud. I mounted it using bu...
