I hope it will be quiet enough

A compatibility test on UPS with simulated wave form would be nice

Today is almost 40°C here in Italy, where is the option for "breath of tornado"?

LOL.. Silence is hard enough at 25C - 27C ambient temp.. I would hate to try at 40C..

Voted for fixed speed, but it's very hard in summer

What would be more silent , a case with good airflow like Thermatake M5 with some Nexus Real Silent fans, considering the PSU and CPU fans would have to work slower or a noise reduction oriented case like CM Sileo 500 ? PS : I can't buy expensive cases like Solo or P1xx. Also I haven't chosen CPU h...

WD5000AADS is single platter, too.

In fact. I will change this PSU whit something better, i like it, but the fan noise is something silly for a premium product...

This is my second 625 Modu82+ in a year, the first I had to send back because the fan ended up making loud clicking sounds, if I had to describe it, it would sound like the noise a HD makes when seeking, except louder. The replacement they sent me is now doing the same thing, so I am done with Ener...

A mini-review from an italian friend on PCSilenzioso.it, the italian site for our quest for silence: http://www.pcsilenzioso.it/forum/showth ... post132528

It seems Samsung EcogreenF2 is more silent under idle, but the AADS have a better noise in reading/writing than Ecogreen F2.

Dreams come true, after all

Well said whiic, is what i think too.
I would pick Samsung F2 500 for same reasons, after all SPCR review is a guarantee.

humm thats y i think its a hard decisiion on which cpu to choose but kinda leanin towards the athlon so far for da price. any more suggestions on cases? For CPU, a cheap dual core will suffice. For case, Antec Solo/P150: nice airflow path, nice hd mounting, good for a silent pc. Does it cost too mu...

Interesting. Show me a 170mm model please, i need a new drive for my P150

Thank you all for the help and suggestions my friends, at the end i will increase only exhaust airflow with the sflex, just for security

For some years the summer has been warm and torrid. Last year, in some cities, it was forty degrees! :shock: Perhaps one day in Italy we can see crocodiles in rivers :lol: I think ascl is right, lower RDS mosfets are heat tolerant, but at this point i think top-down cooler is a good idea. I can sell...

I'm worried about airflow, there's not direct airflow around socket. For example the chipset is hot, i can't touch it. My temps, according to Everest: IDLE Temperature: Scheda madre 42 °C (108 °F) Processore 29 °C (84 °F) Processore 1 / core 1 45 °C (113 °F) Processore 1 / core 2 45 °C (113 Â...

Ok boys, summer is here, so i have a question for you :P My motherboard does not have any heatsink on mosfets & co., see yourself: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2920 Mine is rev. 1.0 Actually i have a C2D E7400, but i want to buy a Q9400 or Q9550, a...

What about other countries? No cheap Win7 for us? No. Euro = makes everything more expensive. I think he's referring to the preorders. I have no idea if more countries will have it, but I doubt it since they haven't mentioned anything yet. I guess you can order a copy from France or UK, language pa...

What about other countries? No cheap Win7 for us?

Nice build, it's similar to mine.
If you read the board sensor with Everest, what is the CPU idle/load power consumption? And what about temperatures?

I like it, well done

Bad news my friends, just checked my local store, i had to wait almost one month to buy this puppy :( Hell, and no review on internet, except this stupid one on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16822136358 "Pros: Good, and Fast 32MB cache.

There's a new drive as well: Western Digital Green 808GB WD8088AADS It's not in the list on the WD website, but searching for it found a page: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=613 I note that the AADS (<1TB) models have Read/Write|Idle specs of 6.0/3.7W, as opposed to the EADS mo...

Terrific! I'm still laughing

Kudos to Lawrence

The WD5000AADS of course! You'll be the first owner here! Can you imagine this splendour?!

Ahahah it's true!

I have the opportunity to buy the HD502HI (Samsung Ecogreen F2) or the new WD5000AADS.
Which one to buy? To decide, desperately need a review on the WD

Excellent, I am also curious

Fantastic review, as always
And congratulations to Samsung, but now i'm curious to see the new WD GP drive

@ dhanson865

Now the WD5000AADS is in the spec sheet

You're a good detective, line
If only we can have benchmarks, especially access time...

In your opinion is it important have a Q9400s instead of a Q9400? A TDP of 65W vs. 95W do the difference to call it greener?
