OH MAN. I just installed my VGA Silencer bought from Ed and one of those Zalman NB chips. I have a feeling that that was half the battle. Its so much quieter I can't believe it! Far from silent, but MAN what a difference! Here's what I"m worried about though. The NB temp took a leap from ~45 idle to...

Well my problem with the 120mm fans is that I'm planning on building a duct. Okay, so the fan controller for silence is a negative... So would running a fan line out of my psu and into a fan controller feasable? Or could I just stick a thermistor in there? Any ideas? Thanks for the feedback so far.

Howdy. In my looking for the best power supply, I was really set on the Super Silencer 300w, but the price tag is GLARING. My good buddy Ed said that I should consider getting a Fortron (Not the bottom feeding 120mm ones, but the standard 1 80mm ones) and just modding it myself. I am perfectly comfo...

I'm more impressed with your bi-lingual-ness!!

I never could have told that you lived in Germany unless you hadn't posted all thsoe German websites...

Maybe EMT? Er... whatever that electromagnetic interference achronym is?

Haha put sheet metal around your case??

Or you could verify the squeeling noise by stopping fans one at a time and actually determine WHERE the sound is coming from.


By the way... That is one BEAST of a system...

Hm... Well he went and bought a 550W (!!!) Antec TrueControl... He says that fixed the problem...

But then a techie guy over there said that his motherboard was... "Improperly grounded, and letting out voltage"???

Eh... I think i'll just stick to a Super Silencer 300w.

He's not running much anything else... Two HDs on SATA, a fanless 9600... the crappy one... the stock rear fan, and a DVD-ROM.

My friend's Antec 380w (came with his Sonata) didn't run his AMD64 3000+. I've read here that people have had NO trouble running their 64's on a 300W. I only want to run a wimpy 2.66 P4, but my friend's experience has me worried that a Super Silencer 300w wont have enough 12v amps. Can anyone gimme ...

Maybe its not your CPU cooler making the noise.

For your VGA silencer, you should get them from www.svc.com. They usually have it cheap, and if you sign up for their newsletter they have these 9.99 deals. Save yourself the money on rounded cables; just get flat ones and learn how to fold them. There are much cheapter 80mm fans. www.bestbyte.com h...

You could use Modder's Mesh.

That SLI thing is AWESOME!

Noise aside, they could end up attaching more and more and more video cards together! Oh man! On a dual AMD64 board (when they make it) could be the new definition of a powerhouse machine. Wow... Awesome...

"If we wanted to quiet it down even further we’d need to remove the two 10.000-RPM Raptors"

...

I wonder how quiet that computer could REALLY be.

Got it.

I really liked the ninja idea, and this was the first cute cartoon ninja I thought of. I remembered it from a game review like last year. (The game is I-Ninja)

http://www.km.ru/images/game/001/INinja_75.jpg too.

Wow... You're gonna be one strict dad...

Real cool but ick what's with the double grills? (On the Globe in back)

ACK!!! THE PICTURES ARE BROKE!!! FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT!!!!!!!

You're right; it was a brash decision and I now regret it.

Dont get shot!

By the way, i'm the farthest from a socially intolerant person you'd ever meet.

Well if you read his project closely, you'll see: "Just felt the heatsink now, its in the high 40s (50 = pain, i go by that *g*) (yes CENTIGRADE you american fucks)" My "social intolerance" was meant to emphasize his social intolerance. You'll notice there are no "*g*"s after that statement, and for...

Lopedogg:

It's spelled "Acronym", you non-"American fuck."





Shithead.

Am I the only one that thought that was hilarious?

Wait... the v2000 places the PSU below the main components, right? Therefore the heat should naturally rise, going right into your CPU etc. I think that the SilverStone was designed to be at the top of the case, thereby allow convection to do its thang without interrupting everythin else.

Antec Smartfan is an awful fan. Not smart at all.

hmmm a 120mm rated at 18 db? Awesome, let's test it.

If you want spectacular performance with the Zalman I believe you'll have to replace the fan and decouple it. There are a couple threads floating around about how to do and what the effects were.

Why cant an EE student just DESIGN a quick, crude little fanbus that puffs up the fans at 12v and then drops to whatever you set it at?? Dayam. Doesnt even seem that hard.

Haha the Nexus?

First page. Under "Recommended."

If he isn't a gamer, then he could go even cheaper. The 5 series is right in that niche of "I want to game", yet, its horrible for that.

For a nongamer, I recommend the MX440 series. Really cheap, awesome for non-gamers.
