It seems that the VM-101 is out of stock @ tigerdirect.ca From SometimesWarriors post about modding the 6600gt, i got a similar plan myself but dont know if it will actually work out. I plan to unplug/remove teh stock fan fromthe heatsinks and place a 120mm vantec stealth (yes i noe, its crap, but t...

My friend has a ZM80D-HP so I'm going to get the VM-101 :). If Edward is using it, im pretty confident in it though like Ed said, i might break it O_O but o well, whats life without risks... edit: the VM-101 is better performance wise right? Cause i have to travel to tigerdirect to get the aerocool....

Thanks for the reply, I've made up my mind to go with the VM-101 for 2 reasons. 1) the Zalamn 80D-HP is heck alot of work to install (took my friend an hour) and i like the VM-101 apperance and performance wise.

THx

i see, it seems that the STOCK heatsink fan is PRETTY efficent... half life 2-ed for over 3 hours the heatsink is barely warm only setback is itS LOUD

anyway, so basically the vm-101 would be a good choice interms of fanless gpu cooler

Edward, I also have the MSI 6600GT AGP card and i find that the little heatsink beside the big heatsink ( i believe the bridge) is hotter than the big heatsink at IDLE and LOAD, but its just slightly hotter than warm i can lay my finger on it without pain. And i have delicate fingers, just to let yo...

it is the NX6600GT-VTD128. It is the one with the fancy heatsink cover.

I am thinking of getting the AeroCool VM-101 but i dont know about its performance.

Compared to the Zalman 80D, is the AeroCool VM-101 better??
Also, would it perform good in my unmodded Sonata (with low air flow)??

I just bought my MSi 6600GT (AGP) vga and unfortunately for me, it everything reviews say but quiet. I have thought about using my existing vantec stealth (not quiet) and blow air at it vertically. The thing is, i dont think there will be any airflows. The other alternatives i was thinking of was ge...

I dont know if i'm talkin about the same thing here, but my Sonata came with a ONE fan PSU and i say its pretty hard to suck in hot air from the CPU because there are those holes on the side that spells ANTEC to give it cool air. Its not alot, but i think it is sufficient to overtake the hot air fro...

Are these white noise generators good at dampening noises? In my co-op placement, we've just moved into a new area and it is ENCLOSED entirely, anyone could hear me talk if i were to raise my tone even a bit. We were going to have these white noise generators installed to dampen the noise so others ...

I could be your monitor. I had the buzzing noise awhile back and i thought it was the motherboard. Whenever i load up 3D games, the buzzing gets worse and after a few checking, I found out it was my samsung lcd monitor that was casuing the buzzing. I turned up the brightness from 50 to 60 and the bu...

ahh *^%$,
The thing is, most reviews say the MSI AGP is the quietest 6600GT on the planet. I shud've gotten the XFX 6600GT and stick a vga cooler on it instead... !!!!

aHHHH!H!H!HH!H!H!
this is HORRRRRRRIBLE.... i am very very disappointed.
I just got my MSI6600GT VTD128 and its LOUD! MOTHER LOUD!!!

Couldnt find any MSI apps that could control the fan speed.
Are there any programs that will allow me to change the fan speed??

MAJOR Help needed

Thx

any idea if the artic cooler silencer's are available in Canada, perferably the Toronto area

downloaded the 1.06 / 2.0 REV .ini file. The temps were exactly as they were before. Still no Diode/Core temperature. But the fan speed reporting seem more ACCURATE. Before my minium fan was at 36xx RPM where as now it is 18xx RPM. I guess I will leave the MBM5 for now and get my hands on the 7000B ...

This is becoming more and more confusing. I loaded up CPU-Z today and i saw that my board was REV 2.XX but on the board itself, it says 1.0. WHICH one should i go with? I am thinking the one on the board would be more accurate?

hdd - potentially
volcano - DEFINITELY part of it
VGA - nope, set the fan to inaudible speed
rear fan - potentially
fan grill - dont think so
psu - not audible unless all fans off

On MBM5, i can only find the A7N8X-E Deluxe rev >2.0. I believe I have revision 1, and then there is the A7N8X-E All revision. Which one should i select then?

Also, there isnt a 'W83L785TS-S Diode" in the list of sensors.

Yea, the SI-97 along with a decent quiet fan is almost twice as expensive >< teejay, based on the pictures of your other thread, I THINK the 7000b would fit because i have about the same amount of space between the mobo edge and the PSU. Also, MBM only reports 2 temperatures on my board, Case and Di...

I have a AXP2800+ cooled by a crappy Volcano7+ inside a Sonata. I have done some silencing but I cant seem to achieve COOL and QUIET ><. How quiet is my Sonata right now if i hear a small hum from about 3.5~4m. Maybe its just my head, or its really something, but the hum is not loud but noticeable. ...

My mobo does not allow me to undervolt the CPU ><. The stock voltage is 1.650 and in windows CPU-Z displays 1.7~v. The lowest voltage I can set it to is the stock voltage, i tried underclocking the CPU and only 1-3° difference in temperature. As for the temperature, I believe it was the Core not the...

First time posting in the CPU Cooling section. :D I currently have a Athlon XP 2800+ Barton inside a unmodded Sonata. As far as i can tell, my Tt Vocano7 is the loudest piece of cooling device I have and it is not doing a good job at cooling my CPU even at medium voltages. I have a Nexus fan control...

When i get my hands on the MSI 6600GT imma give it a try and pray it works. Cause SmartDoctor worked so great with my Asus 9600XT. I could make the 9600xt ABSOLUTELY dead silent (0% fan) and ROAMING loud (100% fan) whenever I want. Theres also a SmartFan feature that controls the fan depending on th...

Hahaha, well as long as its easy and it works I will give it a try. Im not really an hardcore silence obsessed individual, YET. So I guess this is a pretty good solution to it. I havent gotten my hands on the 6600GT yet (unfortunately out of stock) and I'll see how it reacts in my case first. Thx fo...

Does MSI supply a fan speed control and temperature reading applications? If not, are there any proggie that is compatible with this card that can control fan speed/ read temp?

I got LOTs of space below my AGP slot. I saw your post earlier and thought about it too. Since you're here, I might as well ask you a couple questions. 1. What 80mm fan do you recommend using for this simple mod? 2. Where can I get those rubber nails u got connecting the fan to the heatsink? 3. I ha...

I have the A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo along with a Athlon XP 2800+. I am planning to purchase a 7000CU to replace my Tt Volcano9. From reading this threat, it seems that mounting the 7000CU on my socket could cause some risks eh?. What are the risks? Is it likely to happen? Would it still be recommended to...

My friend gave me a couple suggestion. The Zalman 80D or the Artic Cooler. Unfortunate for me, the ZALMAN not compatible with my 6600GT (or so i heard) and the artic cooler is not available within my reach. ><

SWEET, i guess AGP MSI6600GT is my best bet

THE MSI 6600GT is suppose to be the QUIETEST 6600GT offered.. Mariner: I know they have a passively cooled PCI-e, it is unfortunately they are not making a passively cooled AGP version of it. Atleast not at the moment Petrolhead, is ur MSI 6600GT the PCI-e or the AGP version. The cooling system for ...
