hi,

yeah a chunk of it is the cooler, as i use gainward expert tool to turn the fan down and the noise is reduced a lot.

but the remainder is plain air noise that i cant hear with my ear against the fans so i'm going to work round them as described earlier.

mark..........

cheers Jim.

hi,

k, will try that.

Whats the best/safest way to stop fans without damaging them ?

cheers, mark........

hi,

noise is the same with the side cover open or even off.


mark.........

hi,

with that hack make sure u dont actually go into fan control cos it seems to override it all back to 50% when you exit, even if yoiu make the file read only, unless i've done something else wrong.

hi, have nexus 120mm fans front/back, psu (enermax noisetaker) has 80mm by the looks on low settings. aside from the gfx card, which is nigh on silent if i use gainward expert tool and alter the min speed on 2d to 30 (aside from a bit of fan whine), all the noise is definately air. Best description ...

yep, the problem is the back end of the slot, unless the slots are pushed in it wont slot in.

cheers brigitte, i'll try the diy on the front fan, if thats not too successful i'll go looking for those.


mark.....

thx for that, now just got to do some diy on me £12 fans

hi, Got some FM35 Fan Isolator Mounts, and when the fan is out the case i can manipulate the mounts in. But then i put the fan into the case and can push the things into place and cant get to them in the fan to mainpulate them.. Anybody any ideas what i need to do ? I've used the search function but...

hi, slight change, had some paxmate delivered , which has been added to the case but has confused me some what. The base of the noise appears to be the cooler on my chaintech 6800 gfx card but the overall sound is not that, it seems a mixture. Shoved me head inside the case before i put the side on ...

hi,

trying to sort my setup out and there is only a little bit of sound coming out now, but it appears to be an air sound.

I've cut off the back grill for my slk3000b, what else can i do ?


cheers, mark................

Finally got hold of some beer :) And got the dvd drive loaded into the case. I do it was one hell of a job, and if it hadnt been for the beer i'd have been scared stiff i might have snapped something. there MUST be something i'm doing wrong , how do u get the clip to slot into place with the last 40...

had a look but cant find a post i'm sure that said there are some fittings for the xp120 now so they should fit.

hi, tried to suspend my drive using flat wide elastics from a shop, but how do you go about securing the elastic before loading the hard drive ? tried with an old knackered drive first but came across 2 problems. 1) elastic seemed to loosen up when the drive was added 2) The drive tended to lean fro...

lo gr8r-x, i have the same problem with the 3000, if it doesnt have the extension just attaching the small front foot print to the drive rail things in the 3000 dont work, it doesnt seem to make the rails rigid enough to grip and hold into place :( i really do like the sunbeams but no success locati...

Sunbeam Rheobus: http://www.thetechlounge.com/review.php?directory=sunbeam_rheobus Btw, you can remove the leds, if you want to, but i find them useful because it shows me where the 7v limit is (it turns from red to blue). ps: and yes, it fits behind the 3000B door. :) pss: it isn't a PWN device, i...

hi,

looking for a fan controller to fit in a slk3000b case, i have a zalman at the moment which doesnt seem to want to adjust the fans.

only few things, looking to control 4 3 pin fans, from 0v-12v, manual control no need for led/lcd display being as it will be behind a door.


thanks, mark........

mark.......

once they are screwed on is the flat side against the drive cage, and do they screw into the drive cage or just slide in like a rail system ?

sry for all this but tried loads of combinations yesterday and nothing seemed right

cheers

:oops: sorry bout this im either being very slow, very stoopid or both. The brackets i have dont really have "springs" as such, there is a bit of what seems like aluminium on one end but the other is flatish. do i screw the brackets onto the drive cage first then slot the drive into it ? I know its ...

w00dy , now i'm totally confused

thought they should screw on the side of the drives being fitted ???

if poss can you give a bit more detail cos i was ready to chuck the sodding thing out the window yesterday.

cheers

Hi,

what i'm referring to are the slides that i understand are required so that drives can be screwed onto the top level drive bays.

had a look yesterday and couldnt figure them out for love nor money .


thx for any help.


mark..........

Cheers guys.

Red snapper : dont think ui've got the grommets sorted properly as that drive seems noisier than the other one.

No wonder i was having problems with the "drive" rails have to sort them now .
