What you have described sounds to my uneducated (in power supply design) ear like the noise an MRI makes (I've had quite a few MRIs). If you do trace the noise to the PSU, you may well need the advice of someone seriously into PSU design, because the issue is not just finding a "good" PSU, but findi...

The surest way to isolate the problem is to remove the PSU from the case, reconnect things and fire it up. You won't have any problem isolating the noise if it comes from the PSU, which seems likely.

The 140 [sic] mm fan may be one of the LEAST interesting new things on this PSU. It comes with software that shows voltages, current, watts, fan speed, PSU temp, etc.

The ever-vigilant Hexus has a brief report

A few more details are available from Gigabyte.

Looks like it might help damp vibration from my injet printer. My system is on an old Steelcase table, with CRT, case, and printer. When the printer runs, depending upon what it's printing, the table vibrates. All caused by the printer carriage motion, and what appears to be a resonance. Even the CR...

A question - have you determined if the fan on the HDD cage can be replaced? None of the reviews to date have addressed this, or measured the noise from the stock fan. I've long hoped that Lian Li would come out with something along this general line - a 6077 without the ugly slits in the front pane...

Also, where did you see a silver case with black on the inside of the door? Newegg shows the same color for both cases on the inside of the door. All the ones I've seen locally (Silicon Valley), at various Fry's and some local computer stores, have had black inside panels on silver p180s. Of course...

Two questions about color on the p182-shipped-as-p180. 1. It's hard to tell from the photo if you received a black case or the gunmetal case. Which is it? 2. What color is the inside of the door? (Up till now, on the p180, they have been a different color than the outside case color - silver cases h...

WOW!!!

I have 4 drives, and use two Nexus 92 mm up front at full speed. They are somewhat soft mounted with 5/32'' bungee cord and a silicone fan gasket.

I'm more concerned about cooling than quiet, but even if quiet was my principal concern, I'd be happy. The Nexus 92 mm fans are very quiet.

As I'm sure you've figured out by now - It Depends. It depends upon how many drives you have, how hot they run, which fans you use, how quiet a system you want, etc. It Depends. For my part, I have four Maxtors in sleds, with two 92 mm Nexus fans running at 12V, soft mounted with bungee cord, and th...

I tried attaching wheels to a P150 that was sitting on carpet. I used 3M double sided tape. The friction of the carpet was high enough that moving the case in any direction exerted a bending moment on the wheels that was strong enough that the wheels ripped off pretty quickly. Part of this was becau...

A possibility is that the HDD temperature sensor is not calibrated correctly. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about that if that is the case. I have 4 Maxtors in a P150 drive cage, with 2 Nexus 92 mm fans running at 12V immediately in front of the drives. Of these - and they are all...

The link to YCC takes you to the original manufacturer, but this case has a complicated history. It was sold in the US as Global Win YCC-61F, and is no longer available in that form. It is still very actively sold in the UK as the Akasa Eclipse, and is one of the UK's more popular high end cases, ju...

Why in the world did Antec make the black p180's door silver(ish) on the inside? When opened fully and stowed on the side of the case, as shown in the picture, the "all-black" appearance is gone. As to the P150/Solo, yes, Antec listened - sort of. The Solo's silver and black configuration got 18% in...

Standard P150 blue HDD light works fine on my Asus A8N SLI Premium / P150.

To tame the light, just cover it with a single sheet of paper. I used regular ink jet printer paper (20 lb).

The Ninja definitely fits in the P150, with room to spare

As you can see from my sig below, I have a somewhat similar configuration, given that a Solo is apparently a P150 with no PSU and black paint instead of white. I run at 155 W with all disks banging away under Burnintest. Doing only 2x CPUBurn, and no disk activity, it's 174 W. The temps are just fin...

I think the Atlas is the left-most case in both photos in the next to the last row on that CES report page. It looks all-black to me. The internal drive cage looks the same as the one in the P150 pictures above, except the large holes in the side appear to be lacking the hard drive suspension holde...

I've had no problems with my recently setup A8N SLI Premium. I find it odd that though I'm logged in, I'm unable to respond to the survey at the top of the thread. Am I just not seeing a button / link somewhere? I'm seeing the same thing. Presumably the poll is closed. My wife's new system (see sig...

As fine a piece of work as I've seen in 45 years in computers.

Bravo.

Works OK with ASUS as per sig, but requires minimum load on each 12V rail. I voted in the poll as "OK, but..."

Have you tried using Qfan with all these other utilities un-installed? Yes, at least using Qfan in the BIOS. With Qfan enabled in the BIOS, all fans run at full RPM with CPU idle, either while looking in the BIOS or with DOS loaded. I'd really like the Speedfan site to explain more about what all t...

I'm having the same issues with an Asus A8N-SLI Premium. I get the mysterious 3rd temp that behaves as described above - spikes on CPU testing, goes back down. I have 2-92mm Nexus fans (on a 3-pin y connector) in front that are reported correctly in all programs and the BIOS (1500 RPM), and are conn...

The Lian-Li PC-V1000 and PC-V1100 have a separate power supply / HDD thermal chamber like the P180, however, the power supply is inverted. Therefore, there are no power supply cable length issues. The Lian-Li's are a little pricey, but the quality is very good. Those particular Lian-Lis have invert...
