get the E4300 and save some money, get some pc 667, also save some money, I'm sure 333*9 = 3ghz will be plenty fast for ya.

I'm guessing about 2 watts max on startup (at 0-100 rpm) with the Fanmate turned up to maximum. At minimum, you can expect the power draw to be less than 1 watt for both fans combined. You could add more to that Fanmate and still be safe...as long as power draw is less or equal to .50 amp / 6 watts...

well, I'm running a 92mm low rpm (1400rpm) nmb on the rear, and a tt slow rpm on the cpu (2000rpm) also a 92mm fan I guess they should be under 6w right ? what do low rpm 92mm fans run ? (I'm talking about watts lol)

its as the title says, curious as to if I can control me cpu fan and rear exaust fan with 1 fan-mate ?

edit : fan-mate 2 if it matters between 1 and 2.

I really think 2GB RAM is overrated even for people who think they need it. Run good low memory AV (Kaspersky), manually run your scans, stop unnecessary tray icons, kill services you don't need, etc. You're better off with 1GB low latency DDR800 RAM IMO. 8) dude, av plus anti spyware, plus a coupl...

well, doesnt say on their website, so I'm wondering if anyone has this combo ? coz the s3 has some capacitors pretty close the cpu area...

X-bit Labs review . As Oleg says: In most of its parameters it is a superb power supply (which is not a surprise considering the reputation of its actual manufacturer Seasonic): excellent efficiency, quiet operation, very stable voltages, all the necessary connectors (but you must make sure you con...

As far as i know there is no "contract", it just so happens that seasonic makes thew most quiet PSUs. There might be others out there that are quieter, but it is impossible to recommend anything that you can't directly compare with the competition. Comparing different review sites noise recordings ...

out of the ones mentioned, for some reason I could only find the antec.

Hello, The SeaSonic S12 430 would be a fine choice, with more than enough power. You could save a little money and go with DDR2-533 RAM? well, I want some oc headroom on the ram, and according to anandtech this transcend ddr 667 ram @ 2.2v should do atleast ddr900, also whats your take on the antec...

ok, and is it the general consensus that the ds3 is the best board for my money ? with a price limit upto 130$ for the mobo ? does the biostar suck ? anything from asus I should get ? edit : also off of newegg should I be looking for ddr 667 or 800 ?I need something with a lil room for oc, so Id rth...

thing is I really need 2gb...coz xp as it is w/ av and a couple other programs, is about 200-300mb...once you add 2x fah....your upto a gb....then if I wanna game or encode stuff...id be toast...so 2gb is a necessity....I might be able to go for the e6300...hows this mobo : http://www.newegg.com/Pro...

alright, so I have about 500$ to spend @ newegg, and 160 @ Best Buy coz I have store credit...so I was thinking of getting an nks4400 and a sata hdd from there...and then use my current 7600gs and buy the rest @ newegg...Ram/Mobo/cpu and dvdrw. I was thinking going Amd route with a 65w x3800/ ASUS M...

question for you guys....what If you got a fanmate or any other fan controller, set it to 7 or 9v, and then set the tri cool on med ? would that make it work at like 3v ? would it work ? just a thought.

personally id recomend the antec tri-cools, I have one set on low, I think it spins @ around 1500rpm, pretty quiet, not gonna be a silent solution, like a nexus on 7v, but still, has the bling and is actually decent.

well, looks like a winner, @ 12v its very quiet, no buzz, or hum, quietest fan in my system...

well, need a rear exaust fan to replace this noisy revoltec 80mm that spins @ 2100rpm....how does this scythe look ? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835185031 btw already ordered it, but if it aint that good then I can just stick it in my parents pc and order somthing else....on...

locally or at newegg/svc/jab-tech..... Why are you limiting yourself to these places? There are numerous other online stores to choose from (just don't buy from Monarch Computers -- trust me on this one... :x) well, its places that I know and trust...but if you know other places lemme know might ch...

You might be able to use a VF900 passive on it, most 7600GS cards have a pretty small stock heatsink that runs passive. Is it an AGP card? no, its pci-e, btw I was looking around and just ordered the vf900...newegg had it for just over 30$....stock coler is like 1/4 of the size of this....so lets s...

its about the size of a regular mid tower case, airflow isnt that great, using a 120mm fan @ 800rpm in the front, and 80mm in the rear @ 2k rpm, probably gonna upgrade the rear to a 92mm nexus...anyhow thats it....anything quieter than the zalman ? i guess it would already be alot better than the cu...
