Thanks. I really appreciate the feedback. Let's say (for now) I'm stubbornly keeping the sound card. I'd like to eliminate stock cooling options before considering something that requires another purchase or modding. You both mentioned getting even some air flow on the cards. My pics in this thread ...

Dave, I am slowly putting together a similar build (Core i5 on a P55M-UD2, in a Mini P180), and I ended up purchasing a Corsair HX-520, a Xigmatek HDT-S1283, and a Nexus Real Silent 120mm fan to replace the stock Xig fan. I'm not suggesting you do the same, since I haven't finished the build (ran in...

Mini P180, HDT-S1283, PSU, 120mm fans: wrong airflow?
Hello. I started putting a system together. I'm thinking I had better ask some basic questions before going any further. Here are some relevant components: - Core i5 750 - Gigabyte P55M-UD2 - Xigmatek HDT-S1283 HSF - Corsair HX-520 PS - Antec Mini P180 - three Nexus Real Silent 120mm fans Here's how...

I've decided to hijack this thread since I'm going to get/order the parts for my i5/Antec Mini P180 build hopefully next week. (My other thread is a bit old now.) Build components: - CPU: Core i5 - MOBO: Gigabyte P55M-UD2 - RAM: 4GB; something OC friendly - HD: Seagate 7200.12 1TB - PS: Corsair HX62...

figuring out fans/airflow/cooling for Mini P180 Core i5 box
Hello. I'm trying to finally spec out my Mini P180 performance build. I bought the case three months ago, so it's about time I start trying to fill it up. I've read a lot of good threads and reviews here, but everything's starting to blur. Could use some good feedback! This is going to be an i5 perf...

Thank you, both, for the answers and advice. My main issue was that I'm shopping for a motherborad that's compatible with the i5 / LGA 1156 socket, and is mATX form factor. From what little choice that's currently out there, there are fewer fan headers on the mobos than the larger ATX counterparts. ...

drive-bay fan control = bypassed motherboard fan headers?
I'm half-embarrassed to ask this because it just "feels" like a really ignorant, smack-worthy question, but I can't find the info I'm looking for, so here goes nothing. If you install a drive-bay fan controller such as the Scythe Kaze Master Ace / KM02, you can independently control four fans. If yo...

preliminary guidance for Mini P180 performance build
Hi. I'm quite new when it comes to silent builds. I want to build a new rig, and I could use some general guidance to start things off. All I have right now is the Antec Mini P180. I've been doing some searches at SPCR and have seen some posts for more modest builds; what I'm interested in is buildi...
