New rig in Antec P182 *56K WARNING*
Hello all,
Thought I'd share my almost quiet rig (will hopefully become near silent once i get a new cpu cooler and in future replace the PSU fan/and Antec TriCools).
At the moment the PSU fan or the PSU itself makes an buzz sound at night i can hear it, and TriCools on low are pretty acceptable but on medium .. i can`t stand them computer is close to me ~half meter
Hope to get in future an Xigmatek HDT-S1283 for CPU, and 3/4 120 Nexus fans to replace the PSU and the standard TriCools
Specs:
Cpu: Intel Core2 Duo E6750 2.6666 MHz ( Stock cooler/MHz )
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3
Ram: Corsair 2 x 1024 MB DDR2 / 800 MHz / 5-5-5-12
Video: Leadtek WinFast PX8800 GTS TDH 320 MB ( Stock cooler always at 60%/MHz )
Hdd: Western Digital WS3200AAKS 320 GB
PowerSuply: Sirtec HPC-430-P12S 430 W
Case: Antec P182
Temps: (idle/load, ambient ~24*C) ( all 3 TriCools on low )
CPU: ~25*C/~40*C
VGA( Core not ambient ): ~55*C/~70*C
HDD: ~33*C/~35*C
MB: ~38*C/~44*C
Now the pictures (sorry for quality and size)
Btw, if u have any ideeas how to improve the cable management let me know
Comments/Critique welcome.

Here you go. Resized, and thumbnailed. I'm not a web expert, but I do believe this is the preferred method?

But is it quiet??
Critique/comments?? Replace those stock HSFs, they hurt my eyes!!
By the way, nice build, thinking of getting that exact mother board too along with a E8x00... Cable management seems all right, perhaps a round cable for the CD-ROM - doesn't look obstructive at all to me. Just out of curiosity, is that the stock PSU or did you put it there??

I have almost the exact same system as you, except I have an E6600 instead of the E6700. The stock cooler isn't that bad actually, usually it will never spin more than 1300rpm or so. Temps aren't great with it but I don't care. BTW, how did you route your SATA cable? The pics don't really show. I have the same mobo so the same SATA cable as well, and I found it was too short to run behind the mobo tray so I just put it through the plastic cable manager.
Between the lower HDD cage and the case ( floppy part ) is a small whole i routed it thru thereEagle156 wrote:I have almost the exact same system as you, except I have an E6600 instead of the E6700.
