I have a panasonic floppy drive, it's a quality drive, but sadly not that quiet.

I don't use it that often, but packing some foam around it helps.

I bought one of the slim panaflos when I read about it here to replace an OP1 that had suddenly decided to start clicking after about 3months use, it is a little better than the OP1 at 5v (and hopefully will last a bit longer!). The OP1 would spin up as low as 2v though, which was awesome quiet (I o...

The same thing happened to me yesterday evening, I opened the case and sure enough it was the OP1. I'm pretty dissapointed with Zalman for this, although I know their reputation with fans isn't great, I didnt expect it to start failing so quickly (approx 3 months). I think I'll just live without a f...

That was my guess too , but MikeC disabused me. Rereading that topic, he says it was 19-24%! Whooa. After reading that I bought some sheet metal nibblers and cut the hole-punch grill out of my case, I made a bit of a mess of it, but just put some rubber trim over it and it looks okay :) Anyway, the...

yeah, the visual representation is very nice, but looking at two different but similar graphics you can't really tell which one will annoy you most. Sorry about that, it was my post but i removed it at the last minute in case the images bothered anyone :) I think you're right it's extra effort to m...

Wouldn't it be a good idea to remove your fan grills? I think someone on SPCR staff worked out they reduced airflow 15-20%. wow, really?! I had just assumed the impact was negligible, I'll give it a shot. Not that you need your temps to go down, and you may already be running your fans at their low...

That is very good news indeed! Thanks :lol: Just one more question, where did you get your XP-90 from? I saw that one as well, but couldnt wait for the stock :) I got mine from overclockers.co.uk, for £27.50 + £4 (I think) p&p, but I can't reccomend them as they sent me a package with missing parts...

I have an AMD 64 board, so I will have to remove the existing CPU heatsink retension bracket and replace it with the one provided. What are the dimensions of the retension bracket that is provided with the XP-90? Hi there, I've just measured it and it's exactly 90x75 mm :) Reason I ask, is my mothe...

Hey, I'm normally just a lurker here, but I thought I'd post about my experiences with the XP-90. I've been in the market for a new HS for a few weeks, I havnt been totally satisfied with my existing Zalman 5700 model that I've had for a while, I was leaning towards the 7000B-AlCu (there's no way I ...
