Would you say the push/pull fan config is a must nowadays? I'm asking this for a TRUE 120

I didn't see that last post. Thank you! It the SE versionof the Noctua NH-D14. I plan to connect both fans to a Zalman RPM controller to tune it up or down.

Wow thanks very much for that quick reply..i'd definetely try the Noctua and checkhow
It works!

Thanks a bunch again!

Hey guys, Its been years since my last post. I'm building a new PC and I'm wondering what cooler to go with. This is going to be a 6 core 3930k intel, sitting in an Asus P9X79 and 8x4gb sticks of crucial ballistix low profile. No tall heatsinks for memory. All inside an old Antec P182. I've just ord...

These guys finally solved the problem of the Geforce Video Cards Squealing!! I'm glad to know that this wasn't a PSU problem at all. It's on the video cards using old analog circuitry. This applies to all Geforce models, and hopefully eliminate that nasty noise while you're playing top notch games. ...

They have something under their sleeve....

55nm GTX 200

And finally DX 10.1

I'm just laughing....

NO FREAKING EXHAUST COOLING. AGAIN! STUPID FIXED FANS. AGAIN! No thanks Arctic. You sold your exhaust cooling solutions to videocard vendors; your partnerships to have your patents only being used with HIS Digital, living us consumers with PURE SHIT. You stopped doing exhaust solutions, and that's ...

Luminair, I kind of agree with part of you said. I take your rant in a good way :-). What I'm trying to understand from your rant is in which way you say I screwed up? You mean that the reason why I could have a problem with the heat when testing the HR-03 was because I did something the wrong way? ...

Thanks Vicotnik... The thing is is that in my case I've tried all the things that you've suggested. a) Leaving the top vent with no fan. My CPU is making about 38-39C Coretemps on Idle. b) Added a top 120mm fan for the top vent. Temperatures lowered only in the CPU. For about -2C. c) Covered that to...

Well done. Another person getting the same point I madeand proven two months ago. I invite you to see this thread: You willfind the why's and with every detail.Pictures included. http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=47716&highlight=oscars After you read, you will see how much the P18...

Agreed OK You have some good points there... probably I was SSIK with my 8800 Ultra... but oh god, I gave mileage to it LOLOL!

I'm not arguing, but sincerely somehow I was expecting something better. This is definetely a rushed thing.... Let's pray for a 55nm version.

I apologize, you're right... I've just read the review more carefully...

But still is a hog...

Thanks for reviving my thread...:-) "This doesn't have to be a budget card, its the modern day 8800 Ultra. Was that crap? No. Was it fast? Could it be silent? Yes." its the modern day 8800 Ultra I only see more stream processors than an Ultra and a 512bit memory controller. Is it a next gen? Definet...

This is awesome research, thanks for doing this....

Nick what can I say, you are fantastic, thanks for your wise reply!

I'll do what you're suggestings once I get back home.

Cheers!

I need to add. The most unexpected thing happened yesterday. This could be answered by the Patrons or the real experts here. I was reading a webpage, and suddenly the computer shut down, period, no warning, no blue-screen, no nothing. I had to unplug the power cord from the PSU, in order to be able ...

I just needed to add...

How to remove the Sticky Backplate of the Ninja?

Anyone has done this? How?

Hi, I'm not saying the Slipstreams are bad, nor getting into conclusions here. By the contrary, I love Slipstreams, they are by far the best fans I've ever tried. My only concern was about using them as an intake and specially on P182 cases. The dust filter is exactly the same as any other P182, and...

Yes I would like a confirmation on this also.

So it is the pressure then, it seems that fans with thicker and flatter fins are the solution then right?

Hi: I have a P182 rig,which has 2 Scythe Slipstream 1200RPM, one as an exhaust and the other one for the CPU. Until today,I used to have another Slipstream 800RM version as an intake fan. And now it has been replaced by a Scythe S-Flex 21D 800RPM. The reason... Last nigh I've noticed a persistent wh...

Hi thanks for the answers... Actually my system is quite new. http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=44219 I've just replace all my fans for Scythe Slipstreams 1200 RPM. In that case I don't really have a cleaner problem. Also I want to say that when I mounted my TRUE 120 on this chip,...

I'm sorry I forgot to be more specific. My idle temps are going around 44C (Cortemp) and during Prime 95 stress it jumped easily to 62C (Load).

What do you think?

And thanks for the prompt responses.

I have shades in the place where the computer is, so no problem with light

Hey guys: Ok. Everything was fine with my machine that I've built on Winter 2007. CPU temps did not exeed 50C on load at the most. (@3Ghz stock) I'm using a QX9650, cooled by a TRUE 120 and two slipstream fans. One on the heatsink and one for exhaust. I've been running it at stock frequencies. Proba...

Hi there: This are some Myths or Truths I'm sure the patrons here can bust wisely here. These are things I've always wondered : I currently have a Quadcore QX9650 with a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme inside a P182 Case. My exhaust fan is currently a Noctua NF-S12-1200 (1200 RPM) The fan attached to...

I knew it, the Slipstream M rocks. I currently have 2 of them in my system.... the only thing though is that I didn't know that they really move 47CFM at 12v instead of the 68CFM Scythe claims. In other words, between the Nexus 120 Real Silent D12SL and the Slipstream M there should be almost no dif...

Hi Modo, yes I forgot to mention I tried to run it fanless. Thank you. It kept the card on idle at about 60C, but then fifteen minutes late it was at about 68C. The motherboard temp went up to 46C on idle. CPU was steady on idle at 40C. Not a very good prospects to run any games, I did run RTDBHL te...

I got frustrated last night. You guys are not going to believe this, but I went back to my original stock cooler for the 8800 ultra. It was a cold night, about 62F ambient temp, and decided to run the card (With the Thermalright HR-03 installed) on RTHBDL for an hour, and at the same time use Prime ...

NO, I've read peopleusing actual 1200RPM fans, even Quiet Yate Loons,same as Nexus fans. I just can't believe I cannot get those temps,with a Scythe Slipstream 1200 hitting almost 66-68 CFM! Yes, if it take that fan out of the heatsink the GPU will probably burn in hell, and I hope it does, :wink: I...
