Hi Bendit
I think that fan running at fix 5v is enough for your PSU,
Unless you are heavy user & your system have high watt consumption

udi, it's a 65w Brisbane ssytem very similar to yours, that never gets pushed hard. btw, I am running my minja passively and my cpu temp is 36c. Granted its winter in NYC but this is ~ 2c lower than my Katana 2 with a 92mm Nexus on it. Great cooler!

Hi Bendit
Do you run your pc in Cool'n'Quiet mode?

bendit · Post by **bendit** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 5:36 am

yes. I have the second generation Brisbane 5000+ and it seems to run cooler and react better to cool and quiet management. Actually things are starting to heat up a bit I will have to watch the CPU temps. It may be that I will have to slap my 92mm nexus on it.

I have the +4400 (65w) on Cool'n'Quiet mode,
With fanless minja & 2 X 12" fan case on fix rpm700
The CPU temp is on 29c-31c idle...

udi, I have a solo with 1 100mm scythe intake @5v and one 120mm exhaust running at 800rpm. I have 1 3.5 drive and 1 notebook. Your case fans are quite close to minja. my temps are stabilizing at 38c for my CPU and if I open my window, it will go a bit lower.

Hi Bendit
If i will let my CPU to go up to 38c, I think I can
Lower my fans speed to 500-550 rpm...

Hi
Just a small update...
I replace the original 4 screws of the PSU with
The 4 original Mounting HDD screws + silicon washers

bendit · Post by **bendit** » Wed Dec 26, 2007 6:09 am

udi it looks like you are still using the black nexus silicon plugs also? How is the fit of these hard drive screws? I have some I can use.

udi13 · Post by **udi13** » Wed Dec 26, 2007 7:00 am

Hi bendit
Yes I am still using the black nexus silicon....
As for the fit of the hard drive screws, it very esey, the have the same thread like The original, as for the silicon washers,
you just need to squeeze them a little bit and the are in...

Happy Christmas

udi why do you need both fasteners? overkill?

udi13 · Post by **udi13** » Wed Dec 26, 2007 11:04 am

bendit
Tell you the truth, I have some very low frequency sound that
I think is coming from the PSU fan vibration...
I thinking to remove the PSU screws & put the psu on foam only...
do you have some advice?

bendit · Post by **bendit** » Wed Dec 26, 2007 12:09 pm

udi if you can hear that you are obsessed! you know it can become an never ending quest. sometimes you just have to focus on other things! you've already gone overboard with the psu. perhaps it's the HD?

udi13 · Post by **udi13** » Wed Dec 26, 2007 12:21 pm

bendit
I think you're right

i am probable obsessed...
Anyway it is not the HD...I will tray thr foam

friends

building my NSK2400 following this forum's suggestions; all new components but not getting POST, what to check first ?

NSK2400 + following changes -
Case fan swab to 2 Scythe 120mm (connect to CPU fan connector)
Swab PSU fan with Nexus 80 mm fan with Zalman 2 fan control (connect to rear exhaust fan connector)
Intel D865GLCLK mobo (478 Northwood, 3G cpu, very old board)

at this point with only one Scythe case fan connected, no fan whatever is turning at all, but have green mobo light (another red light was on before when both Scythe were connected, then one turns for a while, PSU fan never came on)

I was suspecting PSU but maybe jumpers on mobo ?

thanks

pyro2003 -- Was the system working before you did the fan swap?

Good question - didn't test that first as I worked on each piece separately and then assemble together.

after reseating things and clearing up cable connections/turning all fan controls to max, front LED, PSU and Scythe fan both turns on, CDROM working,RAM tested, mobo now POST but stuck at a fan prompt

screen 1
Gateway [F2 Bios] [F10 Boot Menu]

screen 2
BIOS version; RAM, keyboard, mouse, CDROM, ATAPI checks fine

screen 3
system cooling fan not operating properly (front chassis fan), system halted;

Turns out the front fan connector is missing, I only get the soldering points left on the mobo. Cannot use F2 to get into the bios. Any way to bypass this error or do I have to solder the 3 pin fan connector back ? (photo in next post)

Background for this board : this is one of the rare mATX board in 'the known universe with gigabite ethernet built in still support 478/Northwood. Intel D865GLCLK (I have many old spare parts on this platform and had enough pains with a 775 barebone last year that I sold it after I fixed the overheating problem, another post here)

Wow you sir have a defective product. Your clear CMOS jumper is missing as well.

pyro2003 · Post by **pyro2003** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 5:56 am

Well yes it seem i got a lemon unfortunately, but the mobo was bought from ebay in US and now I'm in Asia. So I'll try to solder a connector back

I did get into the BIOS by jumpering to CONFIG mode and also disabled the fan control, but cannot get rid of the fan error message. Maybe I should try recovery also - however the BIOS does indicate things are functional

Sorry I should take this problem elsewhere ... like the mobo forum

I swapped my stock Adda fan that sat in my Earthwatts 380w PSU with the the Noctua NF-R8 with excellent results. Unless I have my ear up in to the fan itself it cannot be heard (at 800 rpm). Just thought I'd let you guys know.

P.s. Since I have now used the 3 pin connector that was used by the stock amd cooler I an running the case fan in reverse. Gives me system temp of 32 and cpu of 37. Should be ok until the Ninja arrives - yes ?

Hi
What kind of CPU you have?
48c is hot for idle, unless you have old amd xp#### CPU...

I have an AMD Athlon FX2 4000. As I mentioned I am waiting for my Ninja and I am running my stock case fan in reverse to get some airflow into the case since the 3 pin plug previously used by the amd cooler is now occupied by the Noctua fan.

NoMoreNoise · Post by **NoMoreNoise** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 1:19 am

There must have been something wrong with the mobo sensor so I checked it out again. My sy.temp is 33 and cpu 37. Cheers

udi13 · Post by **udi13** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 2:02 am

Hi
37c is more reasonable...
Is AMD Coolâ€™nâ€™Quiet enable?

I'm not sitting at that computer at the moment so I cannot check the BIOS but I think it is....I'll check later tonight

After you will enable the cool'n'quite from BIOS ,dnot forget to change the power management to minimal power management....
