I have same pump with alphacool top and res and my pump is fairly loud, loudest thing in my computer....... I go a petra's gell pad to put under it, comming later this week and I am try to buy one the the PWM controllers. Did the the PWM controller (am thinking of a t-balancer) help in controlling ...

I have a new DDC, and cannot believe all the hype I've heard over how quiet it is. "Barely audible at 1 foot," and "less vibration than my hard drive." I can hear mine 20 feet away, and it's sitting on foam amid three 120mm Panaflo M1As running at 1100 RPM. I've had it running a few days, and all t...

Ok the message boards recommend getting the MCP350/Liang DDC with the Alphacool plexitop. Some people say it's still noisy, others say it's almost silent, but everyone agrees it helps. Does anyone know where to buy this? I cannot find the top seperately - the only thing I see in the UK is the Alphac...

I've scanned the messages on the mcp350. Some say it's one of the quietest pumps around and others complain about the noise - it is all a bit inconsistant. Perhaps there are multiple versions. Regardless, I have the latest one from Swiftech, the 12v version that comes with the h2o-120 premium, and I...

Well, after 2 hours of gaming, my CPU is sitting at 33 c while my GPU has shot up to 65c. With less air circulation going, my HD is at 50 which is quite high but ok. That's actually pretty good (the CPU temp, not the others). Too bad about the pump noise... Also thanks for the feedback/suggestions. ...

Ok, I've twisted and turned my whole computer in all directions and managed to get rid of some air and replace it with more water. The noise from water circulation is minimal. I've put AcoustiPack material to the left and front of the pump. The top, bottom, right and rear are still exposed, but sinc...

I decided to try out watercooling for the first time, mainly because it looked interesting. Other than the curiosity factor, I was looking into having a very low noise level combined with a powerful system. So I took the Antec P180 case I use to experiment with (quiet undervolted Papst fans, disk dr...

Thanks all for the replies. I'll be considering the TNN300 since it appears it can handle C2D. With regards to the TNN500, it is a high end case, but probably not for me in terms of looks. With regards to the qustion of looks, I admit I haven't been very specfic. I'm looking for something elegant th...

looking at the spec it doesn't seem to be able to handle the conroe core 2 duo chips. What spec are you looking at? From the review: CPU Cooling: Utilizes massive copper blocks and six 6mm diameter copper heatpipes to transfer up to 150W of heat. Sockets K8, 775 and 478 are supported. should handle...

Would anyone have any recommandation for ultra high-end quiet PC cases? I have an Antec P180 and am reasonably pleased with it but would like to upgrade to a superior case that : (1) Looks nice - I'm afraid that if I'm going to spend money on a high end case it is essential that it "looks" like a hi...

The TNN300 looks great. But looking at the spec it doesn't seem to be able to handle the conroe core 2 duo chips. The TNN500 can be built into a heavyweight gaming system with a Core 2 DUo processor - but it looks ugly.

Can anyone confirm if the TNN300 can handle Core 2 Duo?
