Yes, xp-120 will fit on a8n32. You cannot put mem in dimm1 (near to cpu socket). One other thing - do you know if "normal" height mem modules will fit under the XP120???? When you install the XP-120, it blocks DIMM # 1. The heatpipes almsot make contact with the module in Dimm #2. So as along as yo...

BTW - Does anyone know if the rivatuner tool works with the Asus 7800 Arctic cooler??????

installing a zalman yourself is quite easy if you don't have fat fingers. evga 7800gt boards maintain lifetime warranty if you use another cooler if you keep the original one and there is no board damage. Thanks, but just too bad that eVGA is not avaible here in Scandinavia :( I really consider get...

Thank you warriorpoet,


I look forward to reading your "report" in a few months

a lot, in my case.

Thank you - but are u sure that this is the same cooler that comes pre-mounted on the Asus ???

I am also curious about how much the Asus being pre-overclocked affect the minimum noise levels

On the this site, the XP-120 gets an 8, while the smaller Xp-90 got a 7+. Now I wonder if the all-copper of the XP-90c will make up for the smaller surface area of the XP-90 compared to the XP-120 and give equal or pherhaps even better performance.... I have heard some claims of it being possible to...

After reading the P180 review, I have become really interested in getting one. But I am actually very happy with my "no-name" (I think the brand was "yeng yang" or something ) that has been fitted with Noise Control Magic Fleece absorption materials, 4 mile long URL edited for space by moderator I h...

In the hothardware.com review they - as many others (reviewing something based on the Arctic Cooling), praised it for being quiet - but just how quiet is it - is Silentpcewiew.com quiet? (any plans for a review???) I am curious to know that if I get a Seasonic S12-430 or 550 - would I be able to hea...

Yes, xp-120 will fit on a8n32. You cannot put mem in dimm1 (near to cpu socket). Hey! Thanks for replying. I do not know how the mem banks are arranged on the A8N32 - but I plan on getting 2x1GB modules for video and photo editing. I am not sure if the A8N32 will be able to drive/handle 4x1GB mem m...

On the Thermalright website it says that it "will" fit. But also that it will come in contact with some parts: "*****The overhanging fins from the XP-120 will slightly come in contact with motherboard’s chipset & North Bridge heatsink near the I/O ports. This will not affect performance of both heat...

I have several of the "12dB" Papsts and one "19dB" model, both are louder than the 80mm nexus and both have bearing/motor noise wich the nexus doesnt. The Nexus is always a safe bet, you can get good Panaflos too but they can be bad too. I bought a L1A nd it clicked liked nothing else.. Nexus fans ...

I currently have 2 x Papst 80mm 12dB fans in my case, but to be honest - they sure at not as quiet as they are supposed to be. I have had them for about 2 years now and for the last 6 months they seem to have gotten louder. I have tried to clean them again, but no change really. So I wonder if the b...

good job guys! :D This is what I am looking for. to bad they are not possible to get yet here.... But still the upcoming 90nm nVidia cards should be more interesting.. BTW - Anyone have any experience with the ASUS 7800 TOP Arctic Cooler powered GTX? How loud is it? Or will it be compared to the Gig...

If you re-read the 430 review, it was not much quieter than the 500/600W versions (1dB less I believe). Also, the 430 is an updated design of the Super Tornado I believe, and the 500/600W versions are based on an entirely different circuit design as they integrated the PCI-E power cords. I did read...

I recommand the Seasonic S12 500W (not the 430W, which is not a real S12...). How is the 430 not a real S12? YES... PLEASE EXPLAIN!! :? Yes please do so - I would like to know too - I am also considerign the 430W - it is supposed to be slightly quieter than the 500/600W versions, right??? (even wit...

Hey guys! Thanks for replying. Does anyone know when the 90nm versions of 7800 series will be out? That should be promising for easy cooling. Or maybe the 7800GS... I have considered just going with a passive 6600LE until then. I like the idea of the Arctic coolers blowing air out of the case, but t...

as I am moving to a passive cooled Nforce 4 mainboard this xmas, I am also on the lookout for a very quiet 7800 series based board. I think the Asus 7800GTX is over my budget and I am hearing conflicting reports on the Arctic cooling noise levels. Are there any 7800 based board with Zalman VF700 CU ...

bet the pricetag is huge as well.....

the problem is - there are no A3 here in Denmark. I cheched with the distributor and dealer. They only have A2s. My unit seems to be stuck at ~1800rpm.... no power up or down..... I am going to remove it from my case tonigh and try out the Tagan 330w.. should be even quieter than the 380 and 480w ve...

bummer... Are all A2 units affected?


I am just happy that I still got 13 days to return the dreaded thing....

:( I decided to try out a Seasonic Tornado 350W despite being unable to obtain a Rev. A3. I got an A2. When I turn on the Pc, it is VERY quiet at ~690rpm, but before my PC finisheds booting into Windows XP, it has reached ~1800RPM. Is this normal or is it the "ramp" bug everyone has been talking abo...

but if I can not get an A3 - should I go with the Nexus 4090????

Dear all,


I am considering both a Nexus 4090 and a Seasonic Tornado.


I have seen a pro review of the Nexus and have always been reluctent to buy early batches of a new product where they might not have ironed the bugs out.


So, will a Tornado still be a good choice, despite it being a Rev A2??

I did take a look at that article, but the model looks very different on the back than mine. My Enermax EG651P-VE is bluish color and it has got a fan control for the rear on the back. I also have a hard time telling from the pics how the fans are connected.... BTW - has anyone ever given a pre-modd...

Dear all, I have been looking for an ultra quiet alternative to my 550W 2 year old Enermax. (i.e. Nexus 4090 or Tagan) But now I have also considered putting some quiet and/or more fans in/on it. I used to have 6 harddrives, 4 optical drives and 5 PCI cards along with my Radeon 9700 PRO and T-Bred @...

Dear all, As the Enermax Noisetaker and Seasonic Super Silencer is not availbe here, my choices have come down to these 2 units. I wrote the dealer of Seasonic here about if they had A3 in stock, but the reply said that they could not tell me, as they most likely have different revisions in stock. A...

just mailed Aria today - they do not ship outside the UK
