thanks for the replies... more so, if anyone can tip me on whether I should blow the cash on a 35W sempron instead of a 65W and just use Cool'n'Quiet? the cpu will be mostly idle anyway. Or will the difference in wattage even out in the electricity bill in the long run? (the pc will be on 24/7). Che...

PSU with 120mm mod idea
I thought about it.. looks kinda logical :) unfortunately I don't have a PSU with a 120mm fan and this mod does void warranty.. anyway.. take PSU, flip it inside case, open the PSU and flip the fan so it blows our out of the PSU and make a nice duct. Close off any other intake vents. http://maxx.web...

Poll: Does your raptor 36GB whine?
Hey guys,
I have a raptor 36gb version that seems to make a high pitch one. I've googled and found out that many people have this whine and was wondering if this is considered "standard" or if it's something that I can RMA and get a new drive?

Wooden HD box with paraffin wax?
Hey guys, Was thinking of making a wooden box for HD's (gotta silence that friggin raptor!). I was thinking of melting down some candles and coating the box in some wax, 1-2 coats. Do you think that the wax would melt due to HD temps? Will this have any impact on the high pitch whine that the HD mak...

Watercooling component recommendations
Hey guys,
Im a w/c noob and I wanna make a w/c rig but I want it to be (of course) silent. Please recommend what parts I need + where to get them (viable CHEAP options from USA/UK).
Or if any of you are Israelis, from Israel
Cheers,
maxxy

Help! Sunbeam Fanbus problems :(
Had one imported from abroad... I hooked up 2 fans (chinaflos) to one of the controllers and it fried after ~2months of use. It refuses to go over 3volts and just stays on the red led no matter how much I turn the knob.. I can use the other controllers without a problem but I wanted to hook up some ...

1. Kill Fan Grills 2. Organize your cables... it's a real mess.. hide them behind the motherboard or something.. Just make sure not to reduce natural airflow. 3. Put VGA Silencer on Radeon. 4. Kill all intake fans. 5. Put better HSF on CPU. The stock one doesn't perform so well at all. Back in the d...

Why is it best advice not to try software? It doesn't do any harm and is x1000 cheaper. Data recovery companies RAPE with their prices.Jan Kivar wrote:If the drives spin up, there is still hope. Best advice is NOT to try any software recovery programs, if You really need the data. Take it to a recovery service.

I think it's a waste of your time and money. You *could try* something that I heard allows the HD's to run for several minutes before croaking out again... put them in the freezer?

How "dead" is it? I mean, does it start and the data is corrupt or it makes noises and doesnt start at all? Does the BIOS detect it? Perhaps run a low level format on it with Seagate Diagnostic tools and then try to recover with EZRecovery? Recovering info from an HD will cost you a FORTUNE Edit: BT...

Remove Shimmy... Not so hard.. and just keep it around in a plastic bag somewhere in case you need to RMA your card.. put glue and stick it on.. good as new ;) Use a thin sharp knife blade to slowly cut into the shim glue from the corners and push it gently with your fingers forward. After a bit of ...

Fan filter alternatives?
Hey guys,
What's a good material for an air filter? I was thinking about pantyhose after reading the forums over at overclockers.com
Is pantyhose restrictive? Im thinking of having quite a bit of exhaust fans so I dont want the whole pc getting filled up with dust.
