how to measure the temperature of these 7200.7 sata drives in raid 0?

i can't work it out!

think they may be really hot suspended...!

well i've spent the night suspending them in rubber bands.

looks beautiful! if i may say so myself.


a LOT quieter but still louder seek than the old single ide. still - love the speed and it's totally worth it!

wouldn't that insulate the drives and make them hotter?

They're identical drives. I can't run them individually now because they are in a raid 0. I have taken them out of the case to see how noisy they really are - they appear to be only a little louder than my previous ide hdd - which is reassuring. however in tandem inside the case they cause havoc. i'...

Hi, I just upgraded (well, downgraded) from one ide 120gb seagate barracuda drive to 2x120gb sata drives. they're in a raid 0. I cannot describe how loud they are! I never had a problem with the old ide drive, so beautifully quiet, but these ones are terrible! It's fine when the computer is in idle ...

hehe that's great advice

i want to buy a sapphire 9600xt ultimate

but i can't find anywhere in australia

or anyone that ships to australia!

Hi, I'm happy with my computer (it's silent enough for me) but it's only got an old fanless gfx card. i want a really good one (not really really good just decent) but i don't want to compromise on noise levels. everyone seems to say the 9600xt is my best choice budget wise but you guys are the only...

haha that's a great idea, turning the case upside down

seriously, who uses that stuff anyway though?


p.s. fair enough, stupid idea

anything to stop my turning my motherboard around so the cpu is down the bottom of the case where it may be cooler? pci slots wouldn't really line up presumably, but anything else?

how do i get my fan to 4v?

should i just order two 92mm panaflo fans, one for the cnps7000a and one for the psu?

sound good?

hi my specs are below

i know it looks like my zalman psu would be the loudest in the list but i actually think the cnps-7000a alcu is the loudest thing in the box atm

should i swap the fan?

anyone noticed a big improvement?

I've got the bug.


Anyone want to buy a Zalman 400a PSU? It's f$%@ing loud.

Right, sorry forgot we were talking about the NF7-s, not MY board.

i think the physical constraints of the board aren't the reason they don't list the 7000a-alcu as compatible - i think it is because the uguru chip on the board (software/hardware monitoring) doesn't let you put a fan on that spins at less than 2000rpm by default. don't worry, you can get around it ...

okay (solved) just in case anyone with the same problem does a search and reads this post: open your registry, goto: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ABIT\HardwareMonitor\an7Preference\FAN2] set "Enable" to 0. No more siren on Northbridge fan. If you want to change your fan speeds to speeds outside the ...

Hi Got me an abit an7 with the uguru stuff... Want to remove my northbridge fan and stick a passive nb32j heatsink on instead. Which is fine, except every time I stop the nb fan the computer sounds like an ambulance because the urugu warnings cut in. How do I stop this? I've figured out how to lower...

i fitted it on my abit an7 fine

you just have to slice part of the clip off. if you have some power tools you'll be right

thankyou

i guess it doesn't hurt to try

is it okay to use a fan adaptor like this http://www.pccasegear.com/prod724.htm (only black and not so ugly) ? the hole on my case is only 60mm but i want a quieter fan (i've ordered an 80mm panaflo to run at 5v. it will be sucking air out from under the psu and from the cpu and then blowing through...

P.S. I can't seem to find the exact 80mm panaflo reccommended on spcr -is this the right one? (Australian site) http://www.pccasegear.com/prod233.htm This is a low-speed fan already (1900rpm) so will I need to undervolt it further to be virtually inaudible? It will be connected to the 60mm fan adapt...

so sorry for the long delay, been working I have a no-name case. there is space for an 80mm fan but only with a fan adaptor... what are fan adaptors like noise-wise? do they act like a funnel and add to noise? or are they okay.. if they are okay, then i'm really excited about installing a lo-speed p...

Hi, Sorry if this is too newbie... I'm about to buy a fan for my case to go under the power supply so that my psu doesn't overheat all the time at spin at maximum speed... (thanks to everyone for reccomending this) i think a 92mm panaflo will fit, so should i get that? or will the 'dead zone' be big...

thanks that's both advice from all of you. should i try and open that 60mm hole to 80? or just put the fan somewhere else.. like at the front or down the bottom? the place where the 60mm hole is is the best isn't it oh and when you say 80mm is the best is that quieter/more efficient than 92 or 120? ...

thanks, i'll get the panaflow i think... cheers.

now i just have to suspend my hdd ha ha

put the case fan at the top back area? even though there's only a 60mm grill hole in the case? cut a bigger hole? hmmm..

if i mod the zalman psu with a panaflo, will is still be auto controlled? eg. if it need more speed it will give it more speed?

and also, case fans, which is the most recommended? papst 120mm?

p.s. no case fans is alright isn't, i undervolted the chip to 1.438 and am getting temps of about 40-50c with the cpu fan turned right down.

p.p.s. has anyone been able to control the zalman or any fan using uguru's fanEQ on an (only on abit mobo)

haha thanks :lol: well i guess i feel like i should share where i'm at then :oops: i have a old, but pleasant looking tall thin tower. bought an abit an7: put a 2500+ in it with a volcano 11 it drove me insane so i put in a cnps7000a (sooo nice). had to chop it with power tools to fit in it which wa...

Before SPCR I had a perfectly functional, noisy PC. Now I have a very quiet(-ish) PC, that is still too noisy for my liking, a pile of fans that are too loud, several power supplies that don't cut the mustard, and whole lot less cash than I had beforehand. Also a heap of other stuff which is yet to...

Hi I have a cnps7000a on an abit an7.. i want to silence my northbridge by using a heatsink only option. i want to buy the Zalman ZM-NB47J (that cool, blue one) but i don't think it will fit under the heatsink of the afore mentioned cpu fan... i have bought the old ZM-NB32J... good enough choice? an...
