to damp a frequency u need a dampening material atleast 1/4 of the soundwaves length. And the lower the frequency the longer the soundwave is...

Adding another fan in series like that doesnt increase cfm but increase static pressure. so if the fan is fairly free flowing it wont help. On a heatsink or radiatior wich induses a pressure drop it can help since u need more static pressure to push the air through. So dont think another fan in the ...

I bought a few of the 8cm ones a year ago (ish) but wasnt that pleased with them. They all got abit of engine/tikking noise. but maybe mine was from a bad batch...?

Maybe not a valid comparison, but aluminium CPU HS's have been top performers for a while now :? What do u mean? Wich cpu uses alu? Oh wait.. HS as in heatsink, not heatspreader... But look at thoose few coolers wich are made both in alu and copper version. The copper version beats the alu one by a...

Heatercores are more suited to high cfm(38mm) fans like the thermochill HE series, BIX, and other thick dense radiators. for low speed fans the best u can get is thermochill PA series. not really much competition there... PA>rest. for a less expensive rad there is the swiftec mcr series and the new ...

I looked up the nulon ultra cool. Doesnt seemes like someting needed in watercooling. It doesnt really prevent algae from forming. Seemes like its most usefull if u mix copper and alu in the same loop wich u dont wanna do in the first place anyway. I have ran my loop for about 6-7 months now and im ...

did ran for 3 1/2 years :p But dont get me totally wrong, im not trying to be so harsh as i sound. (And sorry about the split post, im surfing on my cellphone...)

this is kinda funny but also kinda sad. Funny because u ran ur system for 3 1/2 years without any maintenance of the loop, and u didnt use anything to protect from algae. On top of that u used some nasty color/uv additive too. hope u atleast used some distilled water... Sad part is that u probably w...

And since i got pretty cool air from my top mount rad ...

Well im soon to try out some CF cards as SSD. Got some cf-ide adapters and a 2(4)channel pata raid card(since my MB doesnt support raid on pata) Also going for a couple of 2gb 150x cf cards. with only 2 cards the transfer rate will be pretty low. 45MBps but the latency will be pretty low. Should be ...

dammit. how can i silence my mx518? does the g5 whine? might considering a change just because of this!
