Cutting wires and such are not exactly my forte. I was hoping for a simple converter. Is there a diagram of which wires need to go where?

Is that Zalman even available yet? Does it cost some crazy amount of money?

No one has ever encountered/solved this problem before?

No one has ever seen one of these adapters before?

Just got my new artic cooling 3 for my 9800xt, installed it with no problems, but it seems to have that clicking problem people have been talking about. Assuming it is related to the fan controller on the 9800xt itself, has anyone found a 3-pin (video card size) to 3-pin (motherboard size) converter...

Did you try plugging the artic cooling fan into a normal fan plug instead of into the video card?

I had a sapphre 9600xt with that noisy fan, put a zalman on it, no problems. The 9600xt's run extremely cool due to being on the .13 process. My zalman didn't even get warm.

The 9600xt is on the .13 process, not the .15. It runs VERY cool, the heatsink that came with mine was TINY! I upgraded to a zalman and the thing does not even get warm. It also consumes less power, it does not use a power connector like the PRO cards.

Still waiting to complete my order. Ralf and shunx, I never said "HEY! This is the greatest power supply EVER!" I just pointed out that SOMEONE finally took a look at it. I've been trying to find ANY information about it, and overclockers was the first to even discuss this power supply. The specs so...

Looks like overclockers.com wrote up a review of the superflower 350ss 140mm fan power supply, they seemed to like its quietness quite a bit..

I'm going to pick one up for $40 in a couple of days, i'll post my experiences vs my antec sonata power suppply

Generally, from what ive read, its usuallya combo of the ps, hard drive, vid card, or motherboard. In my case it was the motherboard whining. But in other posts its the seagate hard drive. It can be really hard to narrow it down, but a new power supply almost always fixes it...or so i'm led to belie...

I had the same problem with my Sonata. I had a shuttle an35n motherboard with the atx 4plug connector, and i was sure it was the power supply making the whine, but it turned out it was the coils on the motherboard...i got a new board (without the atx 4pin plug) and now the whine is gone. Not sure if...

I've been looking for a good review for awhile, this one is on overclockers.com

I got the samsung dvd, not the combo drive..its fairly silent, but the combo drives are quieter for some reason...

I have one on a 9600xt...a sapphire..works great, barely warm to the touch....but the old sapphire heatsink was ridiculously small

thanks for the info, i think i'll just find another board since my whole computer is silent except for that damn whine!!!


thanks,

I have an AN35N and seem to be facing a similar whine problem...its driving me nuts

I just got myself an antec sonata...and i have the same problem...i have been fighting this noise for awhile..first i thought it was a fan, then a hard drive, then the nic...yeah...so....i'm pretty sure its the power supply now....but it only happened after i added in my maxtor diamondmax 9 hard dri...
