Nice job Warrior. I was going to email them next week and ask if they were coming out with a new revision. Good timing too, I was just going to buy an NV silencer to replace my Zalman.

It will fit but it's pretty tight. I've got the S12-500 and the A8n-sli premium and it just barely fits. Actually I think it's putting some tug on the 12v board connector. You have to snake it under the PCI-e lock and around the passive heatsink.

Would an 80X25 fan work? I've got an L1a sitting around doing nothing.

Would a graphics card with an Arctic Cooling Silencer put in the top slot, be in the perfect position to aid with cooling the northbridge heatsink? I've got almost the same setup as the OP and I'm having the same problems. I think it stems from the VF-700 recycling heat back into the case. The NV S...

getting the layer of TIM thin isn't the problem. It's keeping it that way. When I clip on the first side of the Ninja and lower it down the heatsink invariably smudges up the TIM. I can't seem to manage it without getting the TIM smugded. I'm on a 939 if that matters.

Did you have any issues with the vertical mounting? Did you have to string up the elastic any differently?

How the hell are you supposed to apply an even layer of TIM when the Ninja pressures on the CPU like it does? I'm having a bitch of a time trying to keep my application untouched and install the Ninja without bending the fins to high hell. Did anyone else have a problem with this? How about a soluti...

I just don't think the grommets are providing an adequate level of dampening. Seeks are still loud and so are idle's. I figured it was worth a try to see if there was any improvement. I'm just worried about weight load and balance since they won't be sitting horizontally. Anyone having an issue wit...

I initially tried the included silicone rubber grommets on my P180, but no matter how loose>tight I tightened the mounting screws, I was left with an audible hum from my Samsung SP1614N HDD. My solution was to mount it on two 3/8" Sorbothane strips, sitting on top of a drive sled in the upper 3.5" ...

Just curious if everyone is using the rubber grommets or if anyone has tried mounting them with elastic.

I asked this question a couple of weeks back. The response was tepid at best. Basically the best option is to get an all aluminum unit. The problem with those are that most of the drive tray's don't make proper heatsinks to transfer the heat to the case. It just kind of builds up and overheats. I ha...

I had problems applying to my 7800 with the VF-700. since you can't lay it flat during installation (damned back plate) I kept smudging the nice flat plane I had made. I ended up just putting a dab on. Now I kind of regret it, although my GPU runs about 52-55 @ 5-7v.

Thought I'd piggy back on this thread since it deals with the same topic. I'm setting up my system and after a week I'm concerned that my temps are too high. Here's my specs: X2 3800 w/ Scythe Ninja BFG 7800GT w/ Zalman VF-700 CU Seasonic S12-500 ASUS A8n-sli premium Maxtor 300GB DM10 SATA in bottom...

Sunbeam - cheap, simple, and very very effective. Plus it doesn't use PWM and you can control the entire voltage range.

Well that's a bit vague there chief. How did you have it installed? When did you get the noise: during idle or seek? Was the noise constant?

So has anyone installed one yet? How's the noise? Have they fixed that damned clicking fan?

Well I've been reading up over at SR and the Maxline are supposed to be enterprize class. I wasn't sure it that lead them to being noiser, or producing more heat, or both. Kind of wanted to hear from anyone who had one to see some first hand results.

Was just wondering if anyone had one or two of these and how the sound/heat are. I think I've decided on this to replace my stupid WD 3200.

Count me in as interested. Especially in the higher power 550.

Woah, that's not good. Get on the phone with Antec ASAP. Looks like you got yourself a lemon.

I just put a VF700 on my BFT7800GTOC and it's running very cool and quiet. Haven't had a chance to drive it home yet but it's doing good in normal operation so far.

I'm actually going to end up with more than 1, probably 3. They are going into the bottom chamber of a P180. I recently got 3 bad WD 3200JS drives so I'm not exactly excited about going back to WD. I think the Samsung 250GB is nice but I know that it won't be enough space, which means that I'll end ...

Is the tray actually part of the case design or does the HD sit on it seperate of the aluminum?

Stay away from the Coolermaster's. I just got 4 of the blue ones from SVC and they have the most annoying grinding noise I think I've ever heard. It's even worse @ 7v.

My BFG 7800GT is a screamer. I've got a VF700 on the way and hopefully it will be able to solve the problem. I'm disappointed that the Thermalright V-1 doesn't fit because the Zalman isn't the quietest solution out there.

I'm getting the same heat venting issue with my S12-380 in a Sonata case. It makes the top of the case warm to the touch and keeps my optical's nice and toasty. I'm emailing Seasonic about a replacement.

I've currently got a model with a fan and its way way too annoying for me. I was thinking about an all metal unit but most of them don't really conduct heat very well. I was hoping some of you guys might have experience and could lend me a few recommendations. Thanks.

Yeah I ended up getting in on one later. They're the only ones with them in stock at the moment so if you guys want one I suggest you jump on it fast before they sell out again.

In case anyone's curious, SVC seems to have them back in stock. It's on their front page now.

EDIT - Shows as out of stock when I try and put it in the cart. Damn.
