Just found this video comparing a tradional fan and asus fans, what do you think guys ?

Anyone tried these fans here ?

samsung spinpoint series are quiet

I have a nzxt sentry 2 since 3 good years, tested with many fans/brands and i haven't noticed "buzzing noise" unless it's a high speed (+1200 rpm) they make noise( no buzz though) For your gpu there are encased fans that you connect on a pci bus they exhaust the air behind, i've never tried but it's...

I have asked the same question to a guy who made a neat mod (cut a hole on aluminum) a while ago and he advised me to use a this tool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iMiH8wYTDY (cutting hole demo at 2.46) You cut a small hole first and then at the right diameter it's easier. The sharp edges can be ...

Perhaps you have a software that's causing all the trouble, a defrag app or a health status app that checks the drive restlessly but if you say the drive is suspended i don't know

Sentry 2 for me, you can disable the beep noise it does when you press keys, can disable the lcd altogether, control 2/3pin fans (4 pins fans are for mobo only anyways), has worked reliably thus far, 1year of use.Don't show rpm's but i don't think that's very useful. has more options like temp max r...

psu at the bottom/fan on top i've tried in a hot summer day with a GT220, result: it's a no-no, temps get high ~ 50°C .I have a PC-B10. I have the fan at the bottom now the max temp inside the psu reach 40°C (37-38 is the norm) depending if i put the other fans on or not. I use this pc daily to watc...

Got this psu since one year i have swaped the fan and control it with a rheobus, totally silent now.You might try that.

Better, i show you:

If you click on manual > 60% the fan will run at 60%..simple. It only work for 4-pins (pwm) fans indeed

Speedfan i hear u say ? Never worked here

On the contrary i have good experience with CPUID HW Monitor.
I rarely use it though i prefer hardware

I don't know which part is more prone to whine but i know one thing: PSU do whine. I did a very simple test with my previous psu some time ago. First i plugged the old psu and controlled its fan with a rheobus: What did i hear ? Some kind of strange hiss.I turned off the fan, still the hiss. I plug ...

I suggest you consider buying (or at least try) a Zalman psu.I have this model No whine, i certify it.The fan inside was quiet at first then made some noise past the 4 months mark, i have replaced it eventually (had to cut the wires though), everything's back to normal. Also, you might wanna have a ...

For video editing you need either the latest cpu ( i7 kind) or a dedicated board for real time editing , Canopus HD storm for example. A small GC like a low end GT2xx will not help you in any way in most high end softwares (NLE kind: Vegas, Edius etc..) It's only ok for playback hd video that's it. ...

I've made a topic about the pc-b10 i own a while ago. The front panel makes a difference regarding noise, i have the pc in my couch running daily.If i leave the front panel open my ears catch the hum. Regarding the properties of aluminum i believe the "better dissipation" is a myth also. The advanta...

I have a 250mm fan (controlled with a potentiometer originally) that make noise when i use it with the nzxt sentry 2. All other "normal" 2pin fans work normally (Lian-Li fans 120-140mm) or even zalman

I have the Samsung SH-B083 which is of the same design than B123L as far as i can tell. It was ranked among the best combos for writing/playing speeds and price about 6 months ago.It's a good drive but like most newest optical drives it spin the dvd/blu ray at full speed so you will need a software ...

1. If I buy a regular non PWM fan, will it have the equivalent 3 wires, which I could wire up to the case controls? The fans you have are non PWM it seems (PWM = 4 pins), yours are only 2 pins.3pins is also non pwm 2. Are there any elegant solutions, or am I left to cutting and twisting various wir...

Yeah, i'd need HQ pictures to have the confirmation of such assertion. By the way, i have already pointed out the major problem of such "MacGyverism": the temps sensor. Assuming you only got 1 pwm-able header (more often than not the cpu header) it read the temps of the cpu only . So based on that o...

I see, that's some kind of MacGyver type of work with wires cut, other parts half-open, hanging in the air lol.This don't sound appealing to me but i suppose when it's cheap one has no rights to question such design , eh ?

Well, that was easy :) I just plugged the two case fans into motherboards 3-pin case fan headers, and then i split the pwm-signal from cpu fan header into these two fans. I don't get it Once the two fans are connected to the 3pin fan headers how can you connect the "control" wire from the cpu heade...

It depends of what you wanna do with the Ir : turn on /off the computer. I recently bought a system that allow me to do that see here It works with 99% of the remotes. Then to control my softwares (DvbViewer > for HDTv, media player, else) i use the integrated Ir that's on my USB stick HDTV which is...

Are we talking about premium / deluxe version motherboards here ?
Someone's confirmed he's fried his when he played with the fan header, i wouldn't try on mine for example (standard mb).

Yeah very interesting

I'm looking for a fan that would be 10mm thick (and 80mm or wider) , my idea would be to build a graphic card cooler (I have a GT220, not a monster) on one single pci bracket such as this http://www.lian-li.com/v2/tw/product/BS-08-i.jpg except this one use two and it don't suit my needs. I got one 1...

with built-in optical trackball :shock: I wonder how does that feel within my fingers but i guess i'll never know considering the price 700 bucks ! On the same register (noiseless keyboard) some time ago i wanted to buy this one It's water/dust-proof, flexible, and keys are silent since it's made wi...

I have a Zalman ZM600HP, it didn't "whine" at first and then over the time a lil buzz could be heard, kinda annoying. I checked, double checked and found the culprit: The fan .Lots of vibrations it would make! The son of b*** What did i do ? I have cut off the wires (yeah i know but there were attac...

I'd suggest a Lancool case, i've never bought one but when i was looking out for cases 6 months ago this brand stood out along with Lian-Li. I've chosen Lian-li (more expensive) because they have aluminum cases. The model i have considered to buy at the time was the K62, see here Lian-Li and Lancool...

Lol strange and you keep it "as is", not affraid of dust or water ?
