The hdd and the PSU aren't your problems. UNTIL you take care of the 6800. Well, once you start down the silent path, forever will it dominate your destiny....... You are SO right, burcakb. As soon as you get the other parts quieted down, that constant droning oscillation of the PSU will make you b...

I'll clean my filter right now. I've been putting it off, see...

Yay me! I hit 50,000 today! Please send me gifts.

Thanks everyone who replied. I've got it working again. Hopefully I can tick along at 90% without problems.

Hah! If you read my post a little closer, you'll see that I knew that bit! Ha ha. It's the console version that I'm worried about.

Thanks anyways, unregistered.

I'm gonna have to agree with you. My BQE fans is exceptional.

Well, I think the subject about says it all. How can I lower my CPU usage from F@H. I run EM3 and the console version of F@H. I know how to change it in the GUI version of F@H, but not the console. Any help is appreciated!

I haven't really been paying attention much either since my stability problems and lack of money to fix them. But I passed 40,000! Wow! I remember how happy I was to hit 1000. I guess all those machines out in the wild are still folding!

I have a Swiftech CPU and GPU block and found the Quickconnects to be just that. Took 2 seconds to get them on. I'm curious about what was going on with yours? I put a very thin layer of Vasoline around the plug to make sure I could get them out later. Also, sorry about the pump. I have a Hydor L30,...

I have some shit fans sitting around (thermaltake volcano 9 anyone?). I'll try it on them...and hope it burns them up!

CRAP! Okay, I found a 1700mAmp converter with selectable voltage, and I was about to cut the tip off and wire up my fans, but I have NO idea how to tell which is positive and which is negative. Any way to tell short of getting a volt meter? If I hook it up backwards, will there be hell to pay?

Dang it! I was gonna buy fans today (evercool 120s) but I want these Globes now! Again, does anyone have any idea where to get them in Canada?

Hah. So, I only need to do that 4 times and I'm set! Ha ha. Maybe I will call them. I mean, they should know where to buy their products, right?

Thanks, chylld. Man, am I ever glad smart people hang out here. Otherwise I'd be screwed! :) So I hope by this weekend to have my little "project" done! Just out of curiousity, what would happen if the fans were drawing too many amps? Would the fans burn? Spin slower? Would the power adapter burn?

I have a few questions about fans and amps. The Panaflo 120mm M fan states a rated current of 340mA and a rated input of 4.08. Which number do I care about? I've found a great 500mA adapter that has 6v-12v options. Does the Amp draw stay the same even if the Voltage is lowered? Namely, at 12v it loo...

Okay, I need 4 120mm fans (don't ask, it's a surprise), and I love the 120mm fan that came on the back of my Antec. It's quieter than my ST-400 fan even though the antec is not undervolted, and the ST fan is. :x Does anyone know where to get these fans in Canada? I also saw someone say the Globe 120...

Wow. I notice it's a lot quieter around here when WE pass THEM! In the words of our hated enemy Macaholic, "Fold On!"

I'm going to put the whole radiator/pump contraption into a wood box with carpet all inside it and put 2 fans on the rad. That was the UK GQ (February edition, Gwyneth Paltrow on the front), not the North American one. They are VERY different. In my opinion the NA one blows. Smaller. Less interestin...

I thought LED's produced almost no heat? I don't think that will be a factor. The light keeping you awake might, though!

Your English is helluva lot better than my Italian!

tolietduckuk, GQ had a great article called "How to ruin a Prem club in 800 days." Brilliant. I realize 3 teams go down every year (I was pissed when the Hammers went down) but Leeds was a big club. Champions league big. I think watercooling your HD is legit...at least I plan on doing it, because I'...

Sorry about L.U.F.C., Spod. Must be a tough break.

holistic, can you design me a device I can wear around with me that tunes out country music? I'd appreciate it.

Here you go, Putz. Take a hit on this!

/me passes bong.

Remember kids, just say no to drugs.

Holy crap, people. How is moving your computer do a different room different from putting carpet on the inside of your case? I'm glad this solution worked for this guy. I'm glad your solutions work for you, but why jump down his throat for sharing his experience? I'm a little disappointed in people....

Swiftech itself used to sell barebones kits, but I was just checking the site now, and there was no sign of them.

Koolance offers barebones, check here: http://www.koolance.com/products/produc ... egory_id=2 There are several pages of them. Was that what you were looking for?

It's a slippery slope. Once you listen, you can't stop quieting. Enjoy your respite!

My goal is to get back into the top 30. I started folding for the Mighty 31574 days after it was announced, but my AMD 800 T-Bird quickly relegated me to the back of the pack. I quite quickly slipped down to the thirties. Now I have a 1700+, a 2100+, a 2.8HT, a 2600+, and a 2.4 folding for me. I hop...

I have the Hydor L30, and have been running it for about 2 months now. If it is suspended, it is extremely quiet. My pump is situated outside my case, and I can't hear it over my decoupled Seagate 7200.7 drive.

I had no trouble with that omission, Ralf. :) I used to just not like cats, but my new girlfriend has one. Now I really REALLY dislike them. This cat completely ignores both her and me unless it's hungry. Then it's all 'Purrrrrr' and rubbing up against your legs. So basically it only gives you love ...

I think that having one less down tube may be compensated for by the fact that all the water is going through all the tubes. I'll probably do that one.
