m1k30rz, I am running a very similar setup to what you are proposing (specs in signature). I think you'll have no problem with your proposed setup. The difference between your E5300 and my E6300 being the clock speed (2.6Ghz vs. 1.86Ghz), FSB (800Mhz vs. 1066Mhz), and process (45nm vs. 65nm). They h...

The 4670 is also a good card, but the reference cooler is not nearly as quiet as the 3850. It is factory set at 50% and I didn't fool around with it too much prior to changing over to the Accelero. It seemed tolerable around 25% if I recall. It certainly doesn't take a lot to cool the card though. M...

With a single slot configuration you won't be able to have it exhaust outside the case, so I'm assuming your just referring to exhaust to the rear of the case. In that case, I used an HD3850 for a little over a year. It ran a little warm under load (still within manufacturers specs but 80C and above...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139008 This one will be hard to beat for the price and it comes in just over $50 with the promo. Of course, depending on your needs, you may be able to get away with less power and save a little more coin. Stick with reputable manufacturers l...

Why is it that neither side can present their argument without resorting to insults? It's the science that we are interested in, not "Nah Nah Nee Boo Boo. I was right and you were wrong." What happened to civilized debates? This behavior seems to predicate all political arguments. Now it's creeping ...

I think you could probably fit the HIS card in an NSK2480. It uses the Zalman VNF100 and the heatpipes are clamped into a block. You should be able to bring the heatpipes down so they touch the top of the card and that should give you just enough clearance for the lid. This is assuming that the heat...

Thank you for your replies. Slowing the drive speed has always been my method in the past and looks as though it will be for now as well. I just hadn't purchased a drive in a while and thought it would be worthwhile to check. I may give the Asus drive a try and report back if I can discern any diffe...

I've been thinking about modding an S1 to run on my HD3850 in an NSK2400. I think I'd just remove some of the fins and go for a 90 deg bend a t the top of the card. The remaining fins would go over the top of my TV tuner card since it sits low. Anyone try this mod (I know it's been asked before, but...

Recommendation for quiet SATA combo drive
My IDE Lite-on DVD burner is beginning to fail sporadically, so it's time for a replacement. Could you give me some suggestions for a quiet SATA replacement. Thanks.

I suspended one 3.5" drive vertically in the original location. I removed the factory drive cage hardware and tied two pieces of vinyl screen spline across to create a "hammock" for the drive. I then used one screw in the side of the drive that is facing up and tied off another piece of screen splin...

I just purchased an HD 3850 and I was astonished by noise produced with the the reference cooler. At idle it's inaudible and at full load it's still fairly quiet. Of course, I would still like to add a passive cooler in the near future. Possibly the VNF100 if it will do the job adequately. I'll have...

Here's a 92mm PWM fan from Scythe. It shouldn't be too noisy if it doesn't ramp up too much.

I have a similar setup in an NSK2400 and I think it makes a great desktop case. The cooling in this case is great and it's also easy to keep it quiet. I think the max height for a heatsink is around 105mm in the NSK2400, so a normal regular Ninja will not fit without modification. I would like to tr...
