hello, i am using a P180 but i a a bit worried about the case temps and that seems to be affecting my cpu temp. i am measuring the case temp in the upper corner where the original speed switch is and i get case temps of 30 idle and up towards 35 at load. is this normal or high? i have a noctua U12P ...

yes as the title says, i wan't to primary quiet down the grahpic card which is a ati hd2900xt. for the moment ati tool doesn't work in vista x64 so if nobody knowns a anoher good program i need to keep the card under 50 degrees celsius a idle so how do i best cool this card while still quiet. i have...

i am thinking of these three right now: Noctua NH-U12F Thermalright ultra-120 + nexus 120 thermalright SI-128SE + nexus 120 but what i have read the ultra-120 doesn't seem to work as good on socket 939, and mayby the same for SI-128 SE sense it uses the same mouting kit. but if you use a spacer to i...

the temps increased a couple of degrees. my chassi is a antec sonata and i changed the rear fan to a noctua s1200 and my PSU is a corsair hx620. my case temps are around 26-27 degrees celsius. a have a nexus 120 mm fan behind the harddrive cage to. i am thinking of removing the pci slot covers but i...

i am looking for a new cooler for socket 939 because my CPU it getting hot sense i installed a 2900xt cad. it reaches over 60 degrees so i would like a new cooler so i can overclock a bit to and to get it more quiet.

so what are you recommending for socket 939? now i use a thermalright xp90.

i have also noted that the psu is alot colder know. before i mounted the front fan the back of the psu was very hot, now it is only slightly hotter than the room temp.

yes i have read that review to, i didn't think it would give me anything but wanted to test. i run the back fan on low and a zalman 90 mm fan at 1500 rpm on an xp90. i can feel that the front fan is exhausting air were the original airduct is sitting. also my harddrive is 6 degrees colder now. i als...

i have read many reviews and all of them seems to say that adding a front fan in the sonata case doesn't lower temperatures. but i wanted to test it for myself so today i added a nexus 120 mm fan in the front, or behind the hd-rack. i run the fan at around 950 rpm. and it lowered my cpu temp by 4 de...

you only need to change the front plate for the xp-90 to fit. you doesn't need to change the backplane.

has anyone tested to use the duct but to saw it off over the 80 mm and only use the lower part of it to cool the graphic card and to get some cool air in? because then it wouldn't sit in front of the back case fan, and still some cool air could get in. with the duct i mean the included with the sona...

i am running an zalman 92 mm fan now on 7 volts and i find it quiet enough for most of the time but i would like to get it quiter when at idle. So i am thinking of using Q-fan on the motherboard and to put the fanspeed where it want it with a fanmate 2. it this a smart idea or doesn't it work that g...

i am thinking of doing a more soft turn if it is possible, but would it be better to just put the front fan in and use the holes at the back as exhaust?

i have a sonata to and a samsung sp2004C and i think the case is quiet to but i also get some bad vibrations from the hardrive but it is only somteimes, most of the time i can't hear it. it it just when i load it on some special way it vibrates very bad.

does speedfan work on this motherboard? because i can't get it working

i am thinking of building an own duct to cool the graphic card, because it seems that the duct that is included doesn't do such a good job. my ide is to use the plastic part from the original duct and then building a tunnel and put a 80-92 mm fan that blows up towards the graphic card, can this be a...

how much does the front fan help cooling wise, does it decrease cpu temps, gpu temps, harddrive temps? has anyone tested.

i am going to build a new computer with an athlon 64 and i want it to be pretty quiet, so i need i quiet and easy to work with case and i have find 3 cases from the vendor i am going to buy from: Coolermaster Cavalier 3 Silverstone SST-TJ06 Thermaltake Xaser Tsunami what does you think of these thre...
