Trip, I just had a flashback and the product was called Bleem. It actually may be all software based. I'm not sure if it's available anymore. Here's a link I found about it: http://www.megagames.com/psx/psx_bleem!.shtml GamingGod, Yes is kinda insane isn't it? When I tell my friends that I modded my...

I just spend like twenty mintues typing out this great response, and now the SPCR server didn't take it and when I hit back it's now all gone. :evil: So anyway, it's late and I'll have to make this short and to the point. Wedge, the M1A @ 12V is way too loud (as I've tested it at 12V on my PC before...

Well, now I've got good news: SUCCESS!! :D Things changed on my brother's birthday party. He invited a bunch of guests, one of which was a really nerdy/smart kid. Anyway, I showed him my system and he offered to help. He came over one Saturday and was able to get everything back together (which is d...

I just got a supposedly "2nd Production" Super Tornado 300 and upon installing it, it still gave out the siren whine and the fan failed to start.

This is not good. I'm sending mine out tomorrow as an RMA to Seasonic. I wonder if it will do any good?

Funny you should mention September 21 because that's exactly the day I placed my order. I got it from Silicon Acoustics. I have nothing bad to say about them though, Jonathan has alwasy been great to deal with.

Hello all, I just installed my Seasonic Super Tornado last night, and found a nasty surprise. Here's the story: > Hi there. I just installed my Seasonic Super Tornado 300 last night. > Unfortunately, it sounded like a small mamal being tortured. After a few > minutes, that eventually stopped but now...

Well thanks Ralf for the info. I'm a little disapointed to hear about the Intel board. It seems like there is no 100% trust worthy company these days. They all seem to have their shit products, some just more than others.

Please note that those products are not available outside of the US. If you look closely at those pages, you will see, "not availabe for export". I called them regarding this, since their shipping policy states they do ship internationally, and the CSR said it was a restriciton placed by Seasonic. I...

grandpa_boris wrote, you are trying to go from 3 pin fan controller to a 4 pin fan, right Yes, you are correct. I'm going from a 4 pin terminated fan to one of the 5V connections on a Zalman Multi-Connector (ZM-MC1). I could always rewire the 4 pin fan to line up with the 5V pins on the power supply...

grandpa_boris,
Yes Directron does ship to Canada. I've bought a few things from them before. However, they only have a 3->4 power adaptor, whereas I need a 4->3.

I've been looking for one of these for awhile, and in a previous thread someone mentioned that SVC cable. Unfortunately, last I checked, they didn't ship outside of the US.

Excellent idea dago. Of course I signed it. One thing I did notice however is that my local computer store is selling the Centrino chips as Retail boxed. It says they are 479-pin Micro-FCPGA. So maybe there is a way to get this to run on a desktop, or else why would they be selling these as Retail b...

Good to know Ralph, thanks. They should make some wire covering that is also engineered to reduce EMI. I guess there probably isn't enough EMI though, otherwise they probably already would have. Still, it's nice to have a nice clutter-free case, and anything that helps with that is a welcome addition.

Rusty,
Now I get what you mean. Thanks for the clarification.

Gooserider,

Something that I'm still wondering about myself is what sort of airflow resistance a NON-running fan creates

Interesting question. If you ever find out, please let us all know !!

Wiring details. Main PSU wire bundle is covered with gray Flexo-pet from SVC.com. Other PSU wiring is covered with black Flexo-pet from Fry's

What are the benefits of this?

I think you'd probably be better off moving that intake to an exhaust Unfortunately, I don't have two 120mm holes in the back. Just one in the front of my D8000 and one at the back. Or do you mean use both as an exhaust? If so, since they are blowing in opposite directions (albeit very far away and...

Actually, this helped out a lot. Thanks for the time/effort.

These sticks are long !! However, they are thin and rubber, therefore their whole length is not useful. As a matter of fact, in the Verax instruction manual, it says to trim down the excess to desired lengh, which I have done. How do they work? That's kinda a tough question to answer. Basically, in ...

Rusty, The way I see it is this: Capitalism is based on competition (invisible hand = lowers prices etc.) -> competition leads to advertising -> advertising leads to lies / manipulation / "statistics". Yes, our culture is part of it too, but here we get into the chicken and the egg thing. Anyway, I ...

Good discussion. I just want to voice my support with Mike's boycott Intel idea. And yes, the Athlon64 does look like it has the potential to be the next generation CPU of choice for Silent PC enthusiasts, especially once a lot of 64 bit software gets written for it (or at least the stuff that needs...

Anyone tried the "fan sticks" from Directron? These fan sticks are actually made by Verax. I have both the EAR isolators and these Verax rubber sticks and I could only get the rubber sticks to work. Then again, I have a modified D8000 from Coolcases.com. This case has rubber grommets through the me...

I decided this weekend to install an intake fan, in order to create positive case pressure, so that my low RPM Panalfow L1A on my PSU doesn't have to fight against negative case pressure to cool my PSU (as per Katana Man's suggestion). However, this led me to think of a question. How do case and fan...

As seen here: http://www.fronet.com/exec/products/product_spec_head1.asp?page_index=0&menu_id=01-195801&mode=1&item_code=11343&edit=disp_item&edit_mode=view Anyone heard of this? Is this anything to get excited about ? :?: NOTE: Server doesn't seem to be working right now. Hopefully it works for you...

Guess I have to research these more. Sorry.

Yeah, that's a good point. However, I think my SLK-800 isn't what it used to be. My hypothesis is that because I've taken it on and off so many times (we won't get into why) the clip has somehow bent out a bit and therefore it isn't pushing down as hard onto the CPU. I've wondered if I should try an...

Do you really need another 42 Celcius component in your machine? With its low 30C temparature and its 12cm fan, the Fortron FSP350-60PN may be the winner. Yeah, but it blows it's exhaust back into the computer case !! To me this totally negates the lower temp of the unit itself. Who cares how hot i...

Sweet !! Now there's an SLK-900 that has the classic clip style retention mechinism that will work with my Tualatin MOBO !!
Now the only question is, do I want to fork over the change for the upgrade from an SLK 800-A

Bluefront,
Where can you get a Super Nibbler ?

The Plastic ducting hose is from Rockler Woodworking store. It is meant for dust collection systems. Is this a 120mm duct ? Because I've been looking for a 120mm duct at local hardware stores and I can't find them. They're standardized for clothes dryers which use something else - I think 112mm or ...

Hi Katana Man, RE: also can't stress enough what an improvement it is to use modder's mesh on the front. It doesn't seem to sink in to people who read about it. I guess some people feel it lets the sound out, but it doesn't. I just wanted to say that I still think it would let out noise through the ...
