Re: Weird Hush modification
When it sits on a lower shelve, you don't see the fan. It's still far enough in the back. I'm afraid that creating new aluminum blocks that actually fit is more than my DIY skills would allow. For this setup I would then also need to move (as in tap new screw holes) the block that attaches the heatp...

Weird Hush modification
For the last 2.5 years I have used an Asus Eeebox ( 4) Eee Box B202 | N270 | Vertex 32GB ) for my daily computing. Over time the fan in that computer has become louder. So it was time to build a more quiet system. When looking at the pile of computer parts I have, I noticed that I didn't even have t...

Re: Fan Roundup #6: Scythe, Noiseblocker, Antec, Nexus, Ther
Looking at the second picture in the review they obviously have at least one Noctua fan. According to this review http://www.silentpcreview.com/Noctua_NH-L12, it performs worse than the Nexus fan.mikeclueby4 wrote:Among your untested fans, are there any Noctuas?

I must be getting old. Then again 2003 is a long time ago, when silencing your PC was still a craft, in stead of picking the right components. In case vatan007 still wants to know what it is (at least was): http://www.silentpcreview.com/AcoustiPack_delux.

Re: Serenity Mini, SPCR Edition by Puget Computers
1 . What exactly is that ‘acoustipack’ dampening material? Is it the egg shaped foam? Or is it something else? If it is foam, I know where to get it. However, if it is something specific, I hope you guys know about some alternative since I can’t find any place in the Netherlands to buy it. Any alte...

Re: Asus Eee Box B202: An Atom-based mini PC
A while ago I bought an Asus Eee Box B202. Sometime later I swapped the 160GB harddrive for an OCZ Vertex 32GB SSD. And now finally I made it almost completely silent by using something better than Q-fan to control the fan: lm-sensors In Debian/Ubuntu they split lm-sensors into several packages: # a...

Re: FSP300-60GLS mATX PSU: a pictorial & a fan swap
Last month, after five and a half years of daily use (approx. 5 hours a day), the narrow vents near the top of the PSU had become clogged with dust. Consequently something in the PSU fried :( Now I use an Asus Eee Box with an SSD for the light computer work I used to do on this system. 2) P4R800-VM ...

The heatsink is warm, heat radiates. The amount of heat that is radiated by a heatsink in a PC is fairly small. (The big radiator part of a heatsink is <40°C in a typical setup. Almost all heat transport is done by conduction.) The part of that radiation that actually manages to penetrate the plas...

Typical airflow pattern with the 92mm fan on a tower style heatsink in a tower case: Intake -> HD's -> Fan on the heatsink -> heatsink itself -> case exhaust fan or PSU fan The fan on the heatsink is in the airflow before the heatsink itself, the case fan is on the airflow after the heatsink. So the...

If you would put the fan speeds of a typical PSU review in a graph, then you get a flat part and a sloping part. If the temp rises high enough the fan speed stabilises somewhere on the sloping part. With SpeedFan you have to set the temperatures and speeds in a such a way they are on a flat part, be...

I've used one of those sunbeam kits (loooong ago). The tubing doesn't create or increase noise in it self, but in your case it might indirectly. Your current setup uses 120mm fans. the sunbeam kit only works with 80mm and 70mm fans, so for the same airflow you will need louder fans. The iner diamete...

Some of the newer motherboards offer the option of PWM or DC control on some of their headers. One example is the P5W DH. IIRC, some of the high-end Gigabyte boards also offer this. Sorry if this sounds cynic, but have you attached a scope to the header and then measured the signals that came out o...

If you just remove the 60mm fan, that leaves you with a 120mm fan that blows air in the general direction of that hole from the front of the case AND another 120mm fan inside the PSU that blows air in the general direction of that same hole too, but from the other side. So how much air will pass thr...

Re: Thoughts on the 92mm Nexus fans
but haven't I somewhere seen something that looks like doublesided carpet tape with adhesive applied to both sides of a foam sheet?
