Will this upgrade increase my heat much?
I know this is probably a stupid upgrade, but was looking at going from a: 1700 XP amd to a 2400 XP amd 7500 ATI to an Ultra fanless 9800 PRO ATI – I know the 9800 produces X 4 the heat of the 9600 but I really want it bad for gaming. and perhaps an upgrade on better ram – I just have cheapo generic...

Well I have ran the gambit of modding and start ups at 5 v and 6 v dual or in line wire ups and have found because of the mass amount of dirt in my systems, I guess?, fans began to lack a consistent start up, so I am always craking the case to see what fan is locked up. I had no idea I lived in so m...

I have my hd mounted via a bungie hanging from loops up in the upper bay and the hd is hanging in front of the open end of the case and I used elastic to tie it across the bungie cord....

Yes Wedge it is a loud hum, I cut out all grills all over my cats are smart enuff to stay away from the holes. :) Another culprit was an nmb over the SLK800, i'd forgot, oh duh, I'd used that on the cpu, I replaced it with an 80 L also and now actually managed to hang a 80 L above the ghetto mounted...

Some greatest things that helped me besides fan replacements were hanging that hard drive in a bungie and tied on top with elastic cord, using ear plug foam for spacers/washers on fan mounts and roofers tape. Roofers taper really made a noticeable change in sound, maybe I am missing some high pitche...

Thanks Guys, the whole idea is just a nostalgia trip and anti-Doom3 upgrade. I hate how we always tow the line to the latest ID creation. Now it is up to convincing my gf two computers are not bad, I pretty much got her convinced my current athlon is saving so much money now it is near siletn, some ...

Build or Buy?
How far back do you Guys/Gals suggest going to get a real silent pc? What I was thinking was some K6 amd or so and am pretty lost as which way to go. What I want is buy or mod an older machine, just for low end gaming nostalgia. Something that is silent, or almost totally and that I can run like Q1,...

Thanks for the replys - I got my hd suspended in the weirdest manner. I looped a cloth style bungie cord - using the hooks to hang from the crosstied bungies in the upper 51/2 bay drive and just wedged the Maxtor in the loop - then I tied it across the top with elastic sewing ribbon. Voila - I notic...

Thanks for the reply - I will try tonight or thursday to go with using that fanmate on the exhaust side/or/& replace it with a 80L and undervolt another 80 L below and watch temps. The hd temps do have me a tad concerned, not the cpu though - plus if I suspend that hd should help airflow around it t...
