wow. came across this one after buying a kana and was severely disappointed with the noise level. must say this the instructions here hold up well today. the only other equipment i would suggest in doing this mod is blutack . stick a moderately generous amount to cover the top of the switch. that wa...

sry to hijack this topic, but you know what would be great? if there was a compiled list of some kind of cpu cooler vs motherboard to say whether it fits or has issues could also have cpu cooler vs ram as well and probably throw in cases while we're at it i might have a look into this if i've got ti...

after seeing the kaze maru i was hoping someone would come out with something similar:

thoughts?

Unless you plan to overclock, why not undervolt? As ATWindsor pointed out, you can reduce the power consumption by significant amounts. agreed with undervolting got mine on vcore ~0.91875v and pll 1.3v idling are 39c according to realtemp prime95 + linpack for 1 hour = 64C max (~60C avg) based on 2...

10k rpm though...

with the 9900 and 9700nt comparison i notice a few things the 9900 has a shroud around the fan with exhaust holes anything not easily pushed through the grills is just blown out the sides this would reduce the overall cooling effectiveness the shroud also produces noise (rattling). taking off the sh...

strangely enough it's not so new: http://www.nexustek.nl/images/clodius-inside-grant.gif http://www.nexustek.nl/NXS-nexusclodiusventilationsystem.htm main differences: + noise absorption material - funky fan control knob / temperature indicator + power supply ~ iffy on the fan speeds + firewire port...

might pick one up if it come out to give it a whirl
it won't have the best cooling performance but i still give Zalman props
they were one of the first in the transition to quieter coolers
their products since have been trounced by others
but it's still nice to see they're still about

i may be wrong but i always thought all fluorescent lighting produced a buzing noise which can vary on power provided or environment temperature

with that in mind led backlighting would be quieter

so... any indication when this might be updated?
it's been over a year now...

normal people would contact the shopfront pleading their case (ie. thought the product came with A, instead came with B) if that isn't successful they move on to the manufacturer if that isn't successful they then move on to consumer affairs (specifically small claims-style courts) ..I took the fan...

i'm almost resigned to buy an antec case seems that for the past year there is no decent alternative most other cases i see today are generally just "bling-tastic" but before i do go and jump on the p150/solo/sonata/etc bandwagon, does anyone have any experience with this one?: http://www.nexustek.n...

anyone got one of these?
how quiet are they?

I know, I just don't like green

i don't like you either


generally i don't like these big beefy coolers
yes they cool better for the sound level they produce
but i'm starting to think they're getting a little too big

V1 vs V1-Ultra vs VF700-Cu vs VF900-Cu vs Accelero X1 vs NV5 Rev 3
they use a 7800GTX
unfortunately no sound measurements or different speed settings
