Yeah, I was thinking, oooh Hexus did something good... But from what I managed to see - during the great Slashdotting, it seems the review was off the usual Hexus quality. Lot's of sensationlism, the old standby of British tabloid journalism.

By the way, how much would that PSU tester you have cost?

The Smartdrive actually works quite nicely. I'm running the system in a P180 with a Seasonic S12 600 and a Nexus 120 @ 6v on the heatsink. With a search of my HD for all files containing the work "Slack", I can't hear the HD (Case is on the floor, under table. I'm sitting at the table). Distance fro...

My new 250GB SATA Samsung with a Nidec motor isn't particularly quiet - at least compared to my old 160 PATA samsungs. I've mounted the drive in a NoVibes, which is placed in the bottom of a P180 on the supplied grommets. No different to normal P180 mounting. I've got a spare SmartDrive so I'm going...

Depending on your motherboard, the cables might not be long enough. The S12 600 in my P180 can barely reach the 12v aux power connector at the top of my Asus A8N SLI premium.

But with a Silverstone cable extension, it works fairly well. Haven't done any formal listening tests yet though.

KoolnQuiet.co.uk might sell them. But then I don't know - I [just] ordered two Super Tornado's from them and if they make too much noise I'll be returning them straight away.

I always found the Zalman to be louder than I liked - Does this panaflo modification require any soldering, cutting wires etc?

What model is the panaflo?

Thanks

The biggest problem is, that most fridges aren't designed to run continously. If you study your fridge, you'll notice that the pump switches on, and switches off after a while. You can set the thermostat to force the pump to stay on for longer, but not indefinatly - The pump would die. <br> <br>A co...

Hi, sounds like your chipset is running fine. I'm not sure what the max is, but I'm sure it's way over 60C. The chipset fan is mainly for overclockers.

<br>What is your ambient temperature? Pretty warm, I'd guess, if you're in Spain.
