I have an Ati Silencer 5 rev. 2 on my x800gto and i''m desperate. :cry: From day one it clicked like mad when connected to the card.

Double enclosure is probably overkill, but i bet would make even the noisiest drive dead silent :twisted: 187x118x38 as the first box placed with gel packs around in a 222 146 55. The best size without wasting space has to be like this : First box without middle screw mountings :170x120x35 Second bo...

Sorry for bumping such an old thread but i need some opinions. Standard hard drive dimensions are 146 x 101 x 25mm. What do you guys think, will a SATA spinpoint fit in a 171 x 121 x 55 Aluminum Die-Cast Box Sealed with some gel packs around it? I plan to use two of these on my slk3000b's floor, one...

It's not by nvidia, it's from a russian guy Alexey Nicolaychuk aka Unwinder. I'm surprised there are people who don't know about rivatuner yet
IMHO it's the most powerful tool for nvidia users. (ati cards suported as well )

I had it at 7v and manual control from the Akasa fan controler. The problem is that sometimes i forget to turn the fan @ 12v during 3d games and probably the core gets quite hot. :oops: So recently i started experimenting with rivatuner's capabilities of setting the fan speed acording to core's temp...
