But it would help for a system that's placed on the table, right?

Nice. I've read that thread before, but I never noticed the muffler.

That does answer one of my question. Thank you.

Just to restrict the noise coming out from the PSU. This addon reminded me of the modded pc that Yoshi Deharra made that had a fan muffler at the back. I found a review of this product: http://techgage.com/article/silverstone_psu_muffler/ I think this is a harmless addon that doesn't have any compro...

SilverStone power supply acoustic cover

From a little browsing, I stumbled upon this:

http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/ ... pp02&area=

Is this any good?

I'm planning on buying a P182/P183 Case, so I was wondering if I could mount this with the opening downward.

Also, is there anything similar for the 120mm fan?

Thanks. My cpu's a 2.33 Ghz Core 2 duo with speedstep disabled. The cooler is a Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme. The graphics card is a Galaxy Geforce 9600 GT silent graphics card. I really like it's inverted heatsink because it takes advantage of the case airflow. This if from speedstep GPU: 45C Tem...

How I cooled my passive card

As of the moment, I use the Antec SpotCool http://www.antec.com/usa/productDetails.php?lan=us&id=75018 It's flexible and adjustable, so you can use it to cool nearly anything you want in your case. I use it to force the air through the heatsink that I have on my graphics card. It doesn't break any a...

I installed the casing for my internal drive. I said I would show some temperature results, but unfortunately, I didn't record the before temperature, so I decided it's useless to record the temperature now. I cut a big diamond hole at the side where it's covered and also the feet, then cut the part...

Thanks for the reply.

Honestly, I haven't tried the idea yet. I'm using the computer a lot nowdays.

I think I'l give it a try and post the results, along with some temperature comparison when I can.

How good are silicone casing for silencing hard drives?

I found a silicone case as I was browsing through the computer center last week, and I found this: http://m2.sourcingmap.com/smap/images/item/n/08a/ux_a08032600ux0068_ux_n.jpg From closer inspection these don't seem to be designed to be in the case, but rather outside as an external hard drive enclo...

I just bought the Zaward fans and I compared them with my current fans that came with my Hush case. The airflow of the zaward fans were a bit higher, but it's surprisingly just as quiet. I highly recommend these now. I hope there's a proper review for these fans, as well as the other ones I've menti...

My main question is, which fan can give me the highest airflow/decibel ratio out of the fans that are in the list? I'm still considering the golf fans, but I'm not sure if it's dimples give it a real advantage and I don't know whether it's loud or quiet. I don't trust the numbers that they give. I w...

The arctic cooling fans have fluid bearing. Does it make a big difference?

Hello, Have you run across Yate Loon, or Scythe Slipstream of S-Flex, or GlobalWin NCB fans? I would recommend looking at the articles here on SPCR as they have tested many fans. Sorry, but those fans that I listed are the only ones I can find and buy. I've checked the reviews and forums and compil...

Which fans are the best?

I was browsing the computer center a couple of days ago, and I saw these fans. I don't know which ones have good sound/noise ratio for low noise operations.
