wow nice ductwork!

however I cannot understand where the PSU fan gets air from? the rear slots?

nice soldered? title :) I got my switch to work, I stripped of the HDD LED line and soldered the two leads together, covered it up with electrical tape and mounted it right next to the original switch 8). works fine so far. About the accidently shutting it off, it usually takes it 8 sec of holding o...

well, my idea was to mount it somewhere in the front bezel of my SLK3700AMB. (has to be behind something non-metallic) my understanding of a regular pc switch is that it is a momentary switch, right? so basically I would sweep a magnet over it, so that it would contact (close the circuit) for a seco...

I recently acquired a lot of REED switches. They are: "The reed switch is an electrical switch operated by an applied magnetic field. It was invented at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1936 by W. B. Elwood. It consists of a pair of contacts on ferrous metal reeds in a hermetically sealed glass envelo...

awesome

all I can say is stay safe

wow that's very impressive

screw solid state!

j/k

First off do you know if your MB can support auto fan management? The reason why the T-balancer XL is so hard to find is it has been replaced by BigNG Will you be doing anything load intensive while in Linux? Which brings us to the question of the temp sensor you can configure the T-balancer to read...

would it happen to be this?

It's semi-passive, passive for most of the time, but there is a small fan for emergencies.

what about the micro? :D I think it's cool that they are listening to our insights :lol: and responding accordingly Stealthgirl- what is the best way to contact you? I sent an email on Monday, but haven't recieved a reply. I understand you guys are busy, but I add some of what I said in the email he...

Anyway, I want to thank Asus for manufacturing glitchy motherboards and not fixing the same glitches (hardware monitoring) in two motherboards designed 4 years apart. I want to thank creative (who owns E-MU) for once again prooving that your drivers are the most bloated and most nonfunctional on th...

hmmmm

good or bad sign?

I like it

how much did the foam cost?

the molex connector is "second" after the 3 pin connector, so you would cut off the lead to the molex and be left with a "normal" 3 pin fan connector

the akasa does have a bit of click to it, but mostly at lower voltages

hey, I was looking at logic supply again and I found this

60w for the 5v line!

I think that should be enough, it even includes the AC adapter.

Nice review, I really like the fact that you don't bore us with graphs and such. You tell us what we need to know which is all that matters.

adobian wrote:That would be true if that fans idles all the time at min speed. If the fan stops spining, say at CPU (no load), the copper plate might not be at ambient temp if fan isn't spinning.

believe me, bluefront KNOWS what he is doing

See my website. I hope you don't have a modem ;-) Nice dog....I mean computer :) well, I actually consider myself crazy, so if I vote crazy that's meant as a compliment Very Happy why thank you 8) I think it's awesome you're doing something so different and revolutionary. However I do wonder where ...

BTW that thing humming is most likely either HDD vibrations transmmitting through smart enclosure of PSU fan, I have the same problem and no way of fixing it. :evil: Just fidddled with it, turns out the HDD cable which was somewhat nicely folded up, but the slave connector was closer to the master ...

I see what you mean when you said you did it to prove people wrong

and did you vote that I was crazy? I could have sworn before you posted nobody said I was crazy....

Also seems to flagrantly contradict those that think that complicated pathways are a waste of time!

Bluefront, we humans don't use the same muscles to blow vs suck air, so I can't say the straw experiment is conclusive. And what are you trying to suggest here? :lol: Dream- what size and scope are we looking at here for the case? how much are you looking to spend? would you consider putting each H...

As long as people get the idea it doesn't have to be nice, paint is great for that. AutoCAD is only needed if someone is going to build something for you Wink Indeed, not like I'm going to use sketchup for type of stuff When it comes to the humming try to put something soft under the HDD-enclosure....

Been done for a couple of weeks, but no time to write a detailed write-up.

This system is the most radical I've done, yet it seems to work pretty well I posted the idea her...

the design you show would work best with intake. Exhaust wouldn't be as efficient due to possible backpressure. as long as there is sufficient room for both intake and exhaust (the pathway should be a bit bigger for exhaust), I see no no problem. Much simpler than my design ;) (involves "valves" and...
