OK, I think I have it clear. Asus M3A78PRO AMD ATHLON 64 X2 4850E 25GHZ BOX(45W) Scythe Ninja 2 4GB 1066mhz Kingston As for the graphics, I'll be using the integrated HD3200. Everything ~300€. Do I need the 1066mhz? Will it mean an increase in performance considering the processor? Is Scythe Ninja...

I don't want go passive just for the shake of it, but for the silence. I don't mind of puting a yate loon exhaust fan, and I wouldn't mind another heatsink fan if its big and extremely noisless (another undeverolted YL). I haven't marked any price, but I don't expect the whole thing going above 300â...

I've been days reading bits from here and there to make the best choice, but there's too much information I can handle. I had an Asrock mboard, athlon 64 3200+ with a Scythe Ninja plus a passive GFti4200. Everything worked fine, fanless, until the processor or the mobo decided to die (I cannot work ...

Well, I chose the nForce cause I thought the chipset was gonna be ok with the stock heatsink, anyway is not the first time I get warned about this chipset. I wouldn't like to loose performance for the chipset (does the Ati, or the other chipsets make a difference with respect to the nForce one?). Ho...

I've checked the post with the list of processors and their steppings, but I still don't know which of the cores (ie Venice will the best temps. I'm looking for the cheapest, the 3000+. And a bit of OT, what motherboard would you recommend me (with passive cooling of course), I was thinking of the A...

the human brain can't distinguish a difference of only 1 dBA...... That's not true. The dB scale (and in consencuence de A ponderated scale) is "designed" if you like to adapt the human ear sensitivity. Usually, at larger intensities, harder it is to identify a fractional increase or decrase in int...

I knew the story about Peter Kim. I was just asking if they are anywhere good as they claim to be, as in that case they would still be better than any other fan (including Nexus) oustside there.

According to Silenx, this fans moves 64CFM with 14dB(A)!!!


Does anybody know the real dB and CFM value it could have? What about motor/ bearing noise?

I'm hopeful a USA source pops up that has the Yate Loon 140mm fans. It seems Silenco in Germany carrys it-but I'm unable to read German so I don't yet know the price in $US,with shipping. I have a German friend and likely could get help,but a basic newegg order would be less hassle. Most major reta...

So, are YL best fans noise wise? Is there any other fan with equal or lower noise with a better airflow?

Here in spain is IMPOSSIBLE to get them, I'm pretty sure here in spain there wont be more than 10YL fans apart from mines. I ordered them to Silencio_777 (quite cheap I must say),

So, do you reccomend XP120 over Schyte Ninja's?

I've already ordered Yate Loon fans but im dissappointed as I've just checked other fans and seem quite superior in both noise and airflow.

Noiseblocker @12V:
22 dB/a and 64m³/h

Yate loon @12V
28 dB/a and 55 m³/h

Excelente rig, that's just what I was going to do, except for a Seasonic PSU instead of the Phantom

Now that I check, Yate Loon 92mm pushes 32.35cfm vs 57.1cfm and the 80mm 25.3cfm vs 39.0cfm of the stock fan. Which fans you used? Also, if the airflow isn't enough, wont the PSU adapt the voltage to lower the temperature back? By which fan you tried to replace the PSU? Anyway, I'm looking forward ...

I'm gonna go for it. I've ordered to Sielncio a 9cm and 8cm fan with 2 pin molex (on top of other things).

I'll keep you informed.

Does anyone have Yate Loons? Are they really silent like the Yate Loon "Nexus"?

I've been told that many people have "crashed" their hard disk when put with the Nexus noise damping enclosure. Is it true? Does anybody know something about this?

BTW, How effective is this enclosure? Does it performs as well as the Molex silentdrive?

I used to use a TP 480w and tried various fan-swaps in that to quieten it down. In the end I gave up as I had to run the fans too fast to keep it cool (exhaust temp under 50C). I strongly recommend that you consider selling the TP and replacing it with something known to be efficient and quiet. Hav...

I was looking in Google for the actual models and.. surprise suprise.. It took me to SCPR!! :D http://www.silentpcreview.com/article58-page1.html The actual fans:DF1208BA 80x25 mm 39.0 34dB(A)@1m 2900rpm 0.20A DF1209BA 92x25 mm 57.1cfm 35.8dB(A)@1m 3000rpm 0.25A I cannot understand why many people s...

I wonder if for Antec's Trupower 430W stock fans (one 92mm and another 80mm, temperature controlled) for Silencio's Yate Loons would make a significant noise reduction (plugin in directly to the 2 pin molex without any resistance), could it cause trouble when the PSU's canges the voltage according t...

According to this review, Thermaltake's Big Typhoon , doens't performe better than an XP120 or XP90C with a Silent Paspt... but is quieter . I'm a bit confused, since the comparision seems quite rigurous. Is the XP120 overvaluated? Or it's just the Typhoon is so damn good. Remember the undervolted P...

I have a TT schooner in a P180 setup, with a passive Ninja just above it. The card is a Leadtek 6600GT. With only one nexus fan at the back, running at 5.5V, top hole unblocked i get load temperatures of 85C. Same setup but with top hole unblocked, i get load temperatures of about 70C. With 2 nexus...

It's the first time I hear about "PWM" What does it stand for? Do the rheobuses out there have this feature? I mean, start every fan at 100% for a reliable start up and then descend the rpm to the desired settings. Also, is it definetely Nexus better than Paspt noise-wise? (compared to an emb-Paspt ...

I meant those silent blocks, or antivibration screws... don't know how to call them :P (pic) so that the fan isn't in direct contact with the metalic screws and thus with the case. They reduce vibration, but if there isn't any vibration to begin with they have little benefit. Nexus fans are suppose...

380watt model should be same fan as well. Yep, that looks like SilentDrive to me; Molex makes them. -Ed Thanks.. Do you know of another model (which could be more easily to find) yet equally effective? I've noticed you didn't use silent blocks, why? How do you control Nexus 120mm rpm (as it lacks o...

S12-330 and S12-430 have quieter fans than their higher powered models. Sorry, I do not know where you can buy SilentDrives in Europe. :oops: -Ed And the 380W model? Anyway, is this the silent drive you are talking about? :D 380watt model should be same fan as well. Yep, that looks like SilentDrive...

I just checked, i have a "white" one, but i can put it down to 480rpm (lower than that it stops) and there is no clicking. I disconnected every other fan on my pc (well all but the ones of my be-quiet! psu) so i can be quiet sure, no clicking. I don't know what voltage does it have when it is at 48...

particularly with the new S12-330. -Ed Do you mean the Seasonic's 330W PSU is quieter than superior models? Also, do you know any store (that ships anywhere europe) where can I buy those cheap "SilentDrives"? Thanks S12-330 and S12-430 have quieter fans than their higher powered models. Sorry, I do...

That's just phreaking crazy! I wish I could do that though... You could also bring the HDs downstairs to have a true 0dB system...
