I'm not sure if they are permanent or not, but I'm sure you can remove them with some innovation.

www.3dgameman.com has a video review on this as well.

Even if it is quiet, that thing is ugly!

I've got the exact same setup in my V1000. I haven't tried reversing the fans but everything seems to be working fine.

Yes, it would.

I've held this and an NV Silencer 5, and the NV Silencer is much heavier. I was surprised when I held this in my hand because I was expecting it to be much heavier. I believe the weight on the Cu version is 270g, and the weight on the AlCu version is 190g. Since I had a 6800 with a NV Silencer 5 whi...

I got this today, and even at 5V it makes a noticable motor noise. Not recommended.

Just slapped on a VF700 on my X800Pro. It's nice and cools better than stock, but it has some bearing noise, which is unfortunate.

One big downside is that media pad display works ONLY with M$ software - WinMediaPlayer & MSN Messenger. Personally, I use other software Winamp & MirandaIM which are not supported.

My MediaPad works with Winamp. I can control Next, Previous, Stop, Play/Pause with it as well.

>> 1°C seems not a great improve, but I have to be more precise : the cpu is running passive while it didn't before the swap. That's a huge improvement from an actively cooled heatsink to a passively cooled one! I remember when I ran my 3.0C passive, it was 42C idle with the XP-90, whereas now with ...

could you explain what the USB-key looking-like-thing is? I'm confused. This is the reason why I said it was great for notebook users, as you can disconnect this hub and take the mouse, or even the whole keyboard with you. Just plug this USB adapter in anywhere you want, and presto, you have functi...

I got this diNovo keyboard and mouse setup today due to a recommendation from Edward Ng. This is the non-bluetooth version.

Where is this available? I can't find it anywhere.

The 2001FP and the 2005FPW are sub $600. Pretty good price for 16ms 20'' LCD's.

Of course, if you go buy an Apple Cinema Display, you're going to paying a lot.

Nice! Probably runs cooler than my fanless 8500LE that I just recently modified. Do you have a fan on there at all? I saw your 8500 and I used to have that exact same heatsink on mine. Then I stumbled across this NB-1C courtesy of Sizzle and found a great use for it. It was either this or the south...

I've had strange buzzing noises in my at PC one time, turned out to be the mosfets ( the doughnut shaped things with the coils around them) in my PSU. The coils around them started swinging under certain load, used some high stable hot glue and totaly covered them up, noise gone. Those aren't MOSFE...

Updated with pictures.

Actually my idea is for the heatpipe to come out from the PCI slot opening, make a 90 degree bend going up, and ending to around where the case exhaust is, and use the exhaust air to cool down the fins. For mounting, it'd need to come in two pieces. The heatpipes are inserted from outside the case,...

Thermaltake has already developed a passive VGA heatsink using the ideas exchanged in this thread. Thermaltake Schooner http://www.thermaltake.com/images/coolers/cl-g0009Schooner/enlargedView.jpg It is also being discussed on the boards here . Oddly enough, I can't seem to find it for sale anywhere ...

I'm trying to debate whether to pick the Cu or AlCu. Reviews say ~2C difference in performance. But its a nice 90g difference in weight. Anyone got any advice here?

According to that German site, Zalman VF700 produces 37.5 dBa at 5V. I wonder how far they are measuring from?

I went to the store and played with the LX500. It's not really silent at all!

For more than a year now, Coolermaster also ships a notebook style (and fairly stylish) keyboard thats pretty good as well: http://www.coolermaster.com/show_pic.php?picname=http://www.coolermaster.com/product_common_images/4c8ba4d6f9e1e4ad69fdea9a538bf907.jpg Had it, still have it, trying to sell r...

I'm getting my X40 in about a week. My friend has one and the notebook is extremely silent. Most of the time, the heatsink fan doesn't even run because the processor underclocks itself to 300Mhz.

I can't find the exact link, but someone managed to put a Aerocool Fanless VGA cooler in their SFF. It is possible; tight fit, but possible.
