Mescaler , some temps on the passive Noctua please :) I'm planning on buying one and go passive on a C2D. Don't have it yet, unfortunately... I don't know when you're planning to buy your gear. Iwill probably do so in 3 weeks or so (going on holiday first and stuff). When my setup is complete I wil...

I decided on the Noctua NH-U 12F. My line of thinking about the Ninja was exactly the same as yours, BTW... The Thermalrights are certeinly good, but you have to buy the bolt-thru retension kit additionally (correct me if I'm wrong) or you'll probably face the same problems as with the Ninja. The No...

Any chance of giving the Sharkoon Silent Eagle 1000/2000 120mms the full SPCR workover? I've heard some very good things about these fans, and they are priced very nicely in comparison with the likes of the Noctua and S-Flex (in the UK at least, not sure about the USA). I also vote in favor of a sh...

Yes integrated cards can run Aero because they share your system memory. But when using a discrete graphics card you need at least 128MB of RAM. That's what Microsoft is saying. Support for DirectX 9 graphics with: WDDM Driver 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum) Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware 32 bits ...

The problem is I haven't seen an Antec or CoolerMaster or Lian Li in real life and there is probably no way to do it in my country. I noticed you wrote "ohne Netzteil" in your list in the 1st post. So if you're in Germany or in a neighboring country, you can order alle the Antec products (PSU, case...

The standard answers for your 1st PC are: Case: The Antec Solo, it has build in HDD suspension PSU: The Seasonic S-12 are pretty godd, a 330W or 380W should do. And I would get Samsung Spinpoint HDD instead of the Hitachis. The Samsung HD321KJ are supposed to be much quieter. For fans and and CPU co...

Angelkiller, he said he wants to sped less than 500 (I assume USD) I think you're set-up is well above it. On the other hand you can't get much cheaper without sacrificing performance and increasing noise. You could save something by going with a smaller HDD, the Samsung Spinpoints are pretty good, ...

Ok, to clarify: german is my native language and learned English first in 5th grade, French in 7th and Russian now in university.

To repeat what I've written many times before: The DTS (digital thermal sensor) in a Core 2 reports a negative number relative to the (secret) throttling temperature of the particular chip. Is there a way to display that number directly? Because honestly, knowing the space I have left until my CPU ...

Conclusion: C2D's are most definitely concave to some degree. Are really the C2Ds concave or are the Ninjas uneven? In the first case, this problem should also be present with other HS, I can't believe they all add a lot more pressure to the chip than the Ninja. I was planning on buying a Ninja, bu...

Hi, I hope this thread is ok here although it's not about silencing. I know there are a lot of experienced users here, so I figured I could get a good answer here.

Enough Cooling power? (C2D in Antec Solo)
Hi, I'm quite new to the silent front, although I have some experience with computers. I want to build a new system and I need some advice on how much cooling power, hence how many fans are really needed. This is the hardware I'm going for: Antec Solo C2D E6300 Samsung HD321KJ (suspended) passive 76...
