I had no problems putting the Scythe Ninja Plus Rev. B on the M2N-E.

Here's an old image of my case:

To solve my problem I bought a ZM-MFC 1 controller to control all 4 fans. Now, wouldn't you know it Nexus 120s won't start whatsoever with this controller until I give them a little push manually with my finger. Even if that were the case though, I still can't control the speed with this particular ...

3.5" fan controller/y-splitter

The Abit KN9 Ultra only has one controllable fan header and what I'm trying to do is undervolt all 4 of my Nexus 120s. Here are some ideas I hope could work: (1) Buy around 3 y-splitters and plug them into eachother along with the fans and cross my fingers that my mobo doesn't fry with all that curr...

I'm not sure it would work but having like a fan dock in the front of the case that the fans connect to, which in turn is connected to the 1 fan controller that works? Or maybe if there's some kind of 3-4 fan splitter adapters.

I'm sorry to bring back a dead topic but what other means is there that I can resort to? The KN9 is an ABIT mobo but I hear some of the Gigabytes are having the same problem though. Any advice would be extremely helpful. I'm tearing my hair out over buying this board when my p180 has four Nexus fans...

The reason I ask if upside down is because I'm not quite sure either of those coolers will fit between my card and the ninja. Also I have the back panels taped up only because I've read other people's positive results while doing it. From what I gather it keeps the air flow in and out of the case mo...

With one of those would I need to worry about the northbridge getting hot w/o a grill on it?

edit: also forgot to add would I be able to use that updside down with the notion that heat rises and won't go 'down' the pipe to the heatsink?

Thanks for the replies. I threw some as5 on it a while back and it seemed to improve slightly but still burnt to touch. I'm not quite sure what you guys mean though by removing the top cover off the chipset heatsink. NyteOwl: thanks for the tip bud, I was never certain how to mount the fan onto the ...

KN9 Ultra won't control fan speed

The KN9 has 4 fan connectors which are the CPUFAN1, SYSFAN, and AUXFAN1~2. For some reason I can only control the speed of the SYSFAN whether it be in the bios or speedfan. Is anyone else with this board or a similar one having the same problem? The good thing is the rpm of the fans shows up properl...

Cracked Nexus 120mm & XP120

While pulling the tubes out with pliers after I hacksawed some grooves, I cracked through 2 of the sides about a quarter of an inch big. So far there's nothing strange like whistling sounds, etc. Should I just buy another one or won't this be an issue? :(

VF900 vs 7900GT stock

Is the VF900 much more quiet/cool than the stock 7900GT fan? I just feel sort of guilty buying a new $400 card and ripping the hs/fan off of it. At the moment it idles at 41 and generally goes up to around 50 under load. The thing I hate about the stock though is it ramps up the fan speed under even...

Looks like the Nexus I'm looking at is the 4000 shown here:

I can get the 4090 from another site though. What is the difference between the two?[/url]

OK after checking some sites and reading more threads, what I have to work with is the NoiseTaker 425, NX-4000 and ZM400B. I've read a couple things about people having to mod their Enermax's for it to be quiet enough. And as far as the Nexus and Zalman 400W they seem to be pretty tied, even on the ...

Thanks I'll try the Noisetaker. My current psu is the 350w Antec that comes with the BQE. I've heard that it likes to rise in voltage rather quickly. That's good news though, maybe I don't need to be looking at 400-480w psu's.

I'm thinking of going 460 in the event I upgrade my 9700 pro to a 6800GT later next year. I have an amd 64, so my guess is that my 350w is too low because whenever I do intensive games the PSU just screams to the max. The weird thing is everything inside my case is pretty cool except for the psu :(

SS 460W Alternative

The Super Silencer 460W is only available at FrontierPC in Canada, which has been out of stock for quite a while mind you. I'm looking for an alt that's just as quiet and within the 460-480W range, but if all else fails, 400. The Tagan 480W looked like a good choice, but then I read a couple posts o...

Thanks for all the input! A little off topic but how do you guys like your stock AMD 64 cpu fans? I'm using the one that came with the 64 3200 because its a lot quieter at low loads than my SilentBoost on my old XP 2400 (because of Cool N' Quiet?).
