With indigestion come nightmares
The entire world buys the new iMacs because they're so quiet. Thermalright goes out of business. EAR goes out of business. No more quiet upgrades, ever. So no need to know how to upgrade. SPCR closes shop.NeilBlanchard wrote:In the hour and half or so that I spent with my brother's new iMac CoreDuo -- it is very quiet, and very cool running (though we were not stressing it), and even the CD/DVD/RW drive was pretty muted.

EDIT: Oops, Don't know if I'm allowed to say this but Welcome to SPCR!
The A8N32-SLI Deluxe is reviewed (thanks!), will the Premium follow (soon-ish)? The difference in power consumption is noted, but I'd still like to see the review of the Premium if possible ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Especially in terms of feature set (I know its SPCR - but I guess both motherboard are relatively silent). I have a hard time finding any site reviewing both motherboards...

I guess you're waiting for the Antec SP2-500 as well, eh? Yeah, I'm being patient as well. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long and a review will be up pretty soon. Until then... reading up on Formula 1BrytaPlanka wrote:Ok thanks for answering, lets say I want to the results of the 7th review on the list, are we talking about 1 months or maybe 6 months?

Re: Upcoming Reviews & Articles
Any preliminary info on this one? Rubbish / viable / good / excellent? Compared to ST30NF?MikeC wrote: Nexus 9003 - 350W hybrid PSU
Just wondering. There is a review of the Intel Prescott stock cooler. How about a similar one for the AMD Heatpipe cooler?
I just bought an Opteron, and I am wondering how much I would gain from going with a Zalman 9500/Scythe Ninja.
(This stock cooler is by far more quiet than my old socket A cooler)

A request for the Xbox 360 cooling article...
Mike,
IMO, a lot of the noise seems to come from the 12x DVD drive. When it spools up full song, you definitely notice it's presence. I was thinking that one could deaden all of drive's mounting points to the case chassis with some rubber grommets or some such thing. Maybe some brown bread on the DVD housing itself would help as well?
Another interesting idea that I saw someone mention was to put the 360 guts into a PC case. Some guy actually modded a PC power supply to work with his 360 after he fried his 360 power supply:

Anyway, the 360 looks ripe for some cooling mods. I'm looking forward to a great article.
