Thanks for the additional advice, guys.

Airflow isn’t great in this 1999 case. No case exhaust fan, only a Zalman PSU (80mm) doing the exhausting, plus an 80mm intake fan. I’ll more than likely mod the inlet to a 120mm, making it positive pressure. I could swap to a 120mm PSU, but I’m not convinced, judging by SPCR’s test data, th...

Compaq Proliant

It appears much taller than a standard slot-1 heatsink, which usually takes a 50mm fan, so I’m wondering if this larger heatsink isn't capable of mounting an 80mm fan?

600w test with dB data (translated). Looking good, plus 105c capacitors throughout and 5yr warranty.

RIP Felger, a great loss to SPCR

Nice setup. I've not time enough to read this all now, but I'll be back to read up more, but one interesting point: you've got the airflow in the mobo side, running opposite from what YY intended (IIRC). http://gallery.volvo240.org/images/1/misc_pictures/dator/filserver/img_0285.jpg YY intended the ...

I want to see the heatsink that goes with that!

These people used to make Dell's PSU's http://www.pcpower.com/index.html Don't if they're responsible for those new ones. I believe PCP&C were bought out recently, was it Enermax who bought them?

Well, it is a direct-touch heatpipe design! My 3 year old Akasa Evo33 is the same design, so nothing new about 'direct-touch'. ...does say it is subjectively hard to hear, but they don't say what the ambient noise conditions were. :roll: Yep, no different from most h/s reviews, with no real acousti...

if the data is true this heatsink is astonishing.

It surely is. Existing thread here:

800 v 1000 isn't really comparable rpm, so no surprise the Nexus wins with that comparison. The Slipstream is definitely quieter, but I plan to re-compare when I get in a 12-to-9v adapter for the Nexus. I'm thinking at similar RPM they'll be closer in comparison in both airflow and noise. Yep, I thi...

You can't get hold of Dell 2007FP or 2007WFP? NEC also do 20" S-IPS in 4:3 and 16:10, but more money.

the psu is in the front so it will make more noise. The TJ06? It has the PSU at the back, but on top of the hdd’s (if that’s what you meant) so more heat going through the PSU, so yes, potential to ramp up the PSU fan speed. in the p180\182 the psu is in a different bay so the hdd can be at the...

Silverstone TJ06. There’s a few others, the Akasa Eclipse, if your CPU cooler is small enough, and some of the old very tall tower server cases, and at least one ThermalTake case, iirc.

I don’t think it would make that much of a difference, to be honest.

Thanks for posting

Why the NF-P12 when the Ultra Kaze seems to come tops? Not available where you are?

About the orientation, on page 3 someone eluded that it could go in any direction... I should be getting one in a week or two with a new build. Can I use that kit with my A8V Deluxe (K8 939), to get the HDT-S1283 facing rearwards, towards the exhaust case fan, rather than the PSU? http://img371.ima...

Damn, that's not what I wanted Thanks Floris.

What orientation will the HDT-S1283 be on this Asus A8V Deluxe (K8 939) board?

What's this review got to do with silent computing? Oh I get it: you turn up the volume knob until you can't hear your noisy computer. Genius!

Thanks for the review.

Anyone know what the equivalant FSP model might be, in the UK? I had quick look on their website, but couldn't find a match.

I had the impression that enermax psu's were fairly reliable. Of course opinions change from forum to forum but I`m curious where the bad reputation comes from. My impression too. The only reliability reputation Enermax has ever had, is up there with the very best. Enermax finally builds a PSU that...

Great test, Bluefront. I'd love to see the Sharkoon SilentEagle thrown into the mix. Has anyone compared SlipStream vs SilentEagle?

Anyone try this yet?

Don’t know if its been mentioned, but it’s now available outside Japan with worldwide shipping, HERE.

Mike, I hope you have plans to test these too: Sharkoon Silent Eagle 1000 and Noctua NF-P12.

*cough* What I said *cough*

WOW! Overclock3D.net reckon it's better than the Sharkoon 1000! Nice find, thanks.
