One note, the CPU fan is at 5V. I haven't measured the temp at 12V.

TIM = thermal grease?

Thanks for all the the replies. To answer your questions, the CPU duct is included with the case. (not a bad deal, $35+shipping) Quite a bit of air is getting sucked in here, as a piece of tissue paper (kleenex) will stick to the grill fairly firmly. What's interesting about the CPU temperature to m...

Well I just downloaded HDD Temperature from the web site listed above. I launch the .EXE file, it says "checking hard drives for temperature monitoring support..." and then it just disappears. So I assume this means I have no temperature sensor in my HDD.

Hi folks, I just got done putting together my first quiet PC and I'm thrilled by the results! :D My old computer was like a noisy server by comparison.

I don't know how loud my old computer was, but I'm guessing...

Why should I dump this HD though? It is about 2 yrs old and has been totally reliable so far. Are new ones much quieter? Faster?

Thanks!

Hey, glad to hear the great reports about hard drive string suspensions. I have one question though. Typically most elastomeric materials (eg rubber bands) stretch out over time. ("creep" is the technical term) This is the only potential downside I can think of for this type of suspension. So my que...

Hi, here is a newbie sort of question for ya. I have a 60 GB WD disk and I can't find a temperature reading for it. It's fairly new so this seems odd. I have SpeedFan which can access the SMART info for the disk, but no temperature values are listed anywhere. Instead I just have "raw read error rate...
