Only second hand information (as I'm interested in this model too) It sounds awful on max, and yes it turns the fans on and of in a very annoying manner. But from what I have read, it supports i8kfangui (Google!), which helps to reduce the problem somewhat. But even in idle the fans need to spin (sl...

Going back to main topic: I tried 3 fans (ADDA, Globe, Panaflo) until I went for the Nexus. What a waste of time! Why didn't I start with the Nexus? Anyway, it seems to be the perfect companion for the vf-700. I've had my system untouched for the last 6 months, and I'm very satisfied with noise leve...

That’s 50W AC. Subtract the inefficiency of the PSU and you are closercotdt wrote:The 7800GT uses 50W less power than the 7800GTX. I think you can passively cool the 7800GT w/o worries.

First, search other forums for OC related stuff. (like anandtech forums or ocforums) 1. Zalman fanmate, any type 2. You will never know until you try, but as a rule of thumb: If your CPU doesn't overclock decently using the stock cooler it's no good anyway. More exotic coolers can be used to lower t...

Seems to cool very well but it'll probably be pricey compared to a VF700. And heatsinks for the memory chips seem to be almost impossible to attach. Good initiative by Thermalright though and it'll look good beside their other products :) And if you'll decide to make a fan swap you'll probably get ...

Why do you think you need more power?
How did you locate the source of the instability to your PSU?
Your system is in the 120-130W DC range, I can't see why
a 300W PSU shouldn't be able to handle that.
I have read some complaints about Tagan, search the forum!

Successfully replaced fan in ST400
I just replaced a slightly clicking D12SM with a Papst 4412F/2GL in my Super Tornado 400 A3. I first intended to install a Nexus, but since it's a low speed fan I didn't like the idea of powering it from the PSU's fan regulator. So I tried the Papst instead, with a similar spec to the original fan. ...

The performance improvement is neglectable, despite replacing the 15mm thick fan with a 25mm L1a. However it's much easier to your ear. My problem is that I simply cannot find a good 80mm fan here. Bought a few chinaflows but were not impressed, tried a few other fans (globe, papst) but ended up wit...

Changing multipliers on the fly works fine, but voltages remain at ridicules high levels 1.65V!!! max/ 1.35V min. I have 'enabled voltages' but nothing happens.

I have another concern about the choice of a potentiometer: Carbon potentiometers can usually only handle 0.2-0.4W, making them not so good for fan regulation. Cermet potentiometers are almost as inexpensive and can handle 1-2W. Good enough for low speed fans. Wire wound potentiometers have the high...

Welcome to SPCR!!! I don't think that particular video card is common among SPCR members. It's hard to say if you can safely swap the fans on your PSU, -it depends on your other components. But you will probably be working in the 150-200W (DC) region where most PSUs start to get noisy. If you can a...

No tilting or anything, it just rotates a bit the same way the fan rotates. I did the mounting very carefully, the tim(AS3) is just fine and the screws ...
