Is that yellow line some sort of airflow partition? If so, I'd remove it entirely. All it's doing is severely restricting airflow to the top fan. Instead, move the top green partition to the top right corner of the CPU heatsink, so the "duct" is ducting CPU exhaust to both the rear and top fans. Th...

here we go again :) my last idea , while technically a sucess, did not yield a satifying result for me at least so this time I'm moving up to a NINJA for number of reasons -easier to duct -better performance http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/9527/idea7zc.jpg I can't really show it in the picture, b...

I guess the screws are the cuprit, though I never really had a problem with my Zalman on s478

could be how the metal "bends" or the "effect where the outermost part of the cooler is pulling down (depends more or the clip orientation , vertical/horizontal?)

interesting

more heatpipes for the GPU probably would be nicer

just be glad the (super) cat didn't jump onto the sprinkler and result in this



sometime hardware can survive the unbelivable

last time I checked the VM-102 is a little hard to find in the US (if you are in the US) I have an VM-101 on my 9800 pro 128 works fine, though you do need something blowing on it otherwise it WILL get hot! I currently have mine inverted and it works fine http://img467.imageshack.us/img467/4326/pict...

svc still has their panaflo sale going http://www.svc.com/standardfans.html

though these have a very slight tick

that'd be the thermaltake Schooner

I like the sutble touches, the cloth to prevent metal-metal contact of the case panel

yes where'd you get the foam?

funny, I just read something about this

anyway, I'll sell you my 7000A AlCu
PM me

ah ok, could have told us

then RMA is a good bet, hopefully

heh...that's what you get for buying refurb

joking aside
have you tried running on a bare minumum-CPU, MB, RAM?

your chances of a RMA is very low considering you've voided the warranty by opening it...

some ppl have used hot glue to cure this, search around SPCR

hope it helps

don't worry, it'll get worse

I'd say, since you have a lot of free space up front

perhaps put a bare PSU (so heatsinks exposed) say vertical so it is convection cooled

the only expense I can think of is a higher idle temp


the Vacuum hoses look sexy

nice build overall

yeah it was $9 for time being at overcool, shipping was only like 1.75 or something, so it would have been in the middle

Alas, capitialism struck and price went into the Nexus range

I'm still running mine at 5v, it is unnoticed becuase of the HDD whine

softmounting/suspension is a must!

alright spolitta, you were right I moved the antec 120 to the back and reduced all temps! I was worried about the GPU but nope, it's actually cooler! thanks! And I have come to the conclusion that the cold/hot packs are the wrong type, I need to find the Cold only packs except they are more expensiv...

I don't think Mike C realized Alexa was spyware...

I hope



wait a sec, I just realized I bumped a 3 year old thread!
darn

now that's cool!

perhaps a cool gel pak under the HD (on the logic board) would help?

I dunno, while adding a exhuast fan would help temps it also is more noise besides I don't have anymore quiet 120 fans :) I made some slight changes to my setup 1)the CPU fan or Amber fan is suspended because it was creating a unbearable noise when clamped in with the XP90's wire clips, so it now is...

I thought that you entered the store with a massive calibre gun and shouting to the storeman "I need some silencing stuff!But there's only some $1 in my wallet because I have spent a lot for quietening my rig!Take it,or I'll got some bullet with your name on it" clearly, your perception of america ...

It looks prettier than your previous lego one for sure,lots of cutting 2, bet you'll cutt those back PSU grill 2 in the end... And what was wrong with my LEGO's? :) as for the PSU grill...no don't think I want to accidently miss the power socket when I plug it in and touch a freely exposed capacito...

Aluminum enclosure to make it perfect :lol: come on... do it! My WD's sandwhiched in those with the hot/cold packs, with no fans blowing over, are chillin' at 36C right now. It helps, it really does. hey! $30 dollars is a lot for a aluminum box! besides I'm concerned about my drives that I noted ab...

thanks They are called Rapid Aid Hot & Cold gelpacks I got 2 for a $1 at the dollar store along with the glue gun and tiles my seagate drive runs on the hot side so you probably would get lower temps for my application, it works because I can put melamine closer to it (if I put it directly to melami...

I can't really offer any real opinion on the window besides the smoked one would be cool (or what if you a 2 way mirror so that one second you'd be looking at yourself and *Bamn* a light within turns on, showing you the full glory) :) You could go for the accoustic foam from mcmaster, cheaper and ab...

Suspending the drive helps a lot with motor noise/vibration. Seeks are still there, but for most tasks it's minimal. Here's what I did with my latest setup... http://www.moparextreme.com/img/project/28.jpg http://www.moparextreme.com/img/project/30.jpg http://www.moparextreme.com/img/project/37.jpg...

let's see before I go about this, I'm hoping below $200 :) let's see this is after I read SPCR and the infection goes to wallet, the 3700AMB and zalman cooler bought prior to this doesn't count (though I do recall that I might have read SPCR's reviews on these before I bought them) A sad and early a...

wait is the fan sucking air thru the Artic silencer or is it blowing thru? in the pic, it is sucking or is just that way for reference I would imagine that sucking thru a small opening would be more efficient than blowing which Isaac Kuo explained thru the use of big words :) and is it outside of th...

may I add the Akasa Amber 120 fan to the suggestions

it's different from the rest of the crowd

in a restricted (ex. high impedence) mount, it may not do so well, but considering your needs, it probably will be fine

Slightly cheaper than the Nexus fans

o and nice system

badger, where did you get the aluminum box, if I remember it wasn't cheap

so this was the seasonic you decided not to sell

curious was it a revision 1? so it came stock with the yate loon

only other thing I can recomend is accoustic foam?

nice system!
