Thanks for sharing the mods Tmonte, how do you attach the duct to the fan?it seems just only being clamped by the foam. Aluminium shroud near electrical components is not really safe in my experience :twisted: Nice temp even with single BIP. Just curious,why do you measure the NB temp with thermocou...

I have one(in the storage bin,not in my PC), it's none any new, this blower has been around since 2000 or so,previously was branded by Globalwin as I-Storm II. A cross blower fan for cooling HDD in 5.25" bay,it's not quiet though not as noisy as another 5.25 cooler with 40mm fans,it got dominantly r...

If the case is going to be used in the orientation pictured then you are losing a lot of potential cooling by having the heatsink fins horizontal. They should be vertical for natural convection in order to impede airflow as little as possible. http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4504/orientations5iy.p...

Wow,I thought it was a pic from spcr test setup
Is it always caseless?your house must be free from bugs and another little curious things.
Is there any reason for go 4x256 other than 2x512?

Naglfar-Vittra Dismal Euphony - Et Vintereventyr. The album is not the version with Keltziva on the cover, and the quality of the recording is not very good as Weldingheart said earlier.. The best word i can think of to describe the sound is muted. Or lets be honest and say it sounds like crap.. :( ...

Trust me. WalMart is far more evil than Microsoft ever could be...at least Microsoft pays a decent wage and good health benefits to its employees as opposed to WalMart (as recent legislation in Maryland and proposed legislation in Idaho have highlighted). -Derek Didn't suppose that a company might ...

Good work Hype, you should post your complete system in Gallery section. About cooling the new proc compared to the 2.6 533 Northwood, and also for the FSB, it supposed to be sufficient based on this page if you only concern about how your setup would cool it (Northwood 2.6 put 69 Watt max while Pen...

Antec makes(well puts their sticker on at least) these things.. Saw some at a computer store today, they were blue transparent plastic. Specs should be available at antecs site, i was in a hurry so i didnt stop and examine it any further :wink: Antec V-cool it's not really quiet... http://techgage....

The main appeal, for me, was the exhaust....sorta aids in a nice airflow pattern....the tiny fan, and recycled heat doesn't really make this an appealing alternative.. it is a cheaper alternative compared to silencer series, however Zalman solution also performed very good though do some air recycl...

Im listening to my braincells thinking. Now i was lsitening to excess fuel burning, just refilled the lighter and it always burns happily after getting fresh lighter fluid :lol: Your room(and of course your PC) must be very quiet :shock: , however I remember statement that in very low ambient noise...

Wal-mart will soon dominate the world, enslaving us all. It is known.

Do you mean they have taken over Microsoft & Intel too?

Pretty cool, and nice temp too,the first system with 9500 here :D Do you really need that fan on the side panel? looks like that X850 haven't annoy you yet,so the 9500 is still clearly audible on its lowest setting? You must have conquered the whole Aussie land as Rob/Steve does,so be able to put th...

Rammstein - Bück Dich If you ever get the chance to see Rammstein live, thou shall go. You can feel the pyrotechnics from 200M away :lol: I didn't know that they also use pyrotechnics,it's cool 8) and obviously not dangerous. btw kerosene is not well in taste :P (tried the firebreath and also had '...

Well nice attempt Stephen/Thomas Haxley It will be very nice if you go with that thing to LAN Parties 8) And nicer if you plan to upgrade your components :? ..and in theory an overclocked Prescott could cook french fries...true multitasking :shock: So how about pairing it with Dual Core 6800Ultra in...

Nice. 8) It's clear that these temperatures need to be brought down. The CPU is rated for up to 95°C though, but I'd anyway like to see some cooler temperatures. Therefore, next step is to buy another motherboard that doesn't overvolt the CPU and allows futher undervolting. The stupid PCChips board ...

Neat cabling there,and a "fanatic spcr no grille"
what material the Damptek is?it seems thin compared to another dampening mat's.
I guess that flat grey ribbon cable could be more "Ralf Hutter-ed"

I don't know exactly about the resistance&wattage number of flat type thermistor vs the(green/blue)bulb type, don't know wheter they are really substitutable,but one of my device use the green bulb one(PSU,yes it got one inside for temp monitoring). When I use my digital thermometer that supposed to...

Immortal-At the Heart of Winter Great song, and my favourite Immortal album. Np. Abyssos - Together We Summon The Dark At The Heart of Winter is a perfect album IMO,I got frozen everytime listen to it,no melodic solo guitars,no keyboard,but give a lot of atmosphere. Don't know how can they put tons...

Nice QuietOC, I was also in the crossroad between Biostar and Asus for the 754 mATX I'd like to build.
However I got random reading on temps for my previous K7 biostar mATX board(M7VIZ),is it any known issue on your board?
Btw what's PSU&case do you use for your system

I never really do something that HD intensive,mostly file acessing,copying large file for short period,and sometime defragging. as long as I remember the highest temp for each condition: idle/"load" bolted on 3.5" cage without front fan: 35/42 (I didn't remember my room temp at that moment-but it al...

put it near the GPU core if possible

Yah 8.7 @ 33cfm seems dubious. But sony entering into this field may be a good thing for us. I guess it's a typo, it might be 1 8.7dBA :) ,don't think it's worth for them to give that kind of elephantshit SPL number just for marketing Btw I remember that there was a waterproof fan from Adda,instead...

:D Nice P150, aren't you going to blacken the whole thingie? :wink: It will shorten the super pi calculation time and increase fps :lol: I install it in the case and it works fine, i put the front and side panels on and get ready to take some pictures. Now at this point my fancy freshly painted blac...

last 14 hours were tiresome listening to the whole fabrication yard&workshop activities(ear muffler does not stop all those pounding rhytm,maybe I should suspend all those equipments :lol: ) now listening to the epic: Bal Sagoth-Epsilon Exordium (grandiose piece,but then it also sounds like farewel ...

Yeah the companies taught us well at the philosophy(for me at least):

We live to work,
We work to live

Wow this was posted back in 2004...it's fun to see an old thread resurged it's certainly better than Zalman and could be the best passive HD cooler outhere,the problem is it weighs 600gr with already 5.25" width, so quite a hard job to fix suspend it.I use it before and get lower 3C compared to Zalm...

don't have any experience,but it looks like another Zalman copy,so its performance might be around the D version:
http://www.cluboc.net/reviews/cooling_d ... in_KWVC-3/
but they use the 3 fans on that review....

Cool,(I thought it was made from steel before read)you should mass producing them for people here

I prefer Verena,don't know where she goes after leaving Groove Coverage(best IMO),her voice is more characterized for GC,and she's cute too :D Wikipedia says Verena was only a back-up singer in Groove Coverage and was the lead singer in Dune. Not heard of Verena myself before though. The wikipedia ...
