I have experience of the TTBT on a naked 3000+ at 2500Mhz. In my eyes, the stock fan was too noisy and I replaced it with a GlobalWin NCB, which was mush less audible. Temps were about the same as my Ninja with a 3700+ at 2700Mhz.

My Ninja rev b allows my overclocked 3700+ (2700Mhz at 1.45V) to idle at around 40 degrees with the stock fan at under 800rpm. It's silent but I would like it to be lower, and I believe it should be. However, I think I did damage some of the heat pipes by using the long screws instead of the shorter...

I too am finding the Tri-cool fan on low too intrusive. I am going to get a Noctua to replace it.

I also have some Acoustipack left over, which I will use to cover the side panel nearest me.

I have a PNY Quadro NVS 285 in my computer at the moment, as my X1900 is away for RMA. I bought it for £25. It's passive and runs at about 60 degrees idle. It scored 1100 in 3dmark05, which is pretty pathetic but it is fine for desktop use.

The Zalman VF700 does fit the AGP 6600 series. I installed one on my parents AGP 6600GT. However, the heat sink does stick out over the top of the card so if you have a very narrow case, it might not fit.

I have my SOLO system up and running now. The Glacialtechs in the front are silent when running at the lowest setting my Silverstone fan controller puts out, but they do create some noise running at full speed. However, the noise is quite broadband and low in tone so it is not especially off putting...

I had no problem mounting my fans using the Acousti Ultra Soft Fan Mounts. However, the fans I mounted were not closed corner ones.

Ok, I just received the Glacialtech 92mm's. The label on the back states that they are rebranded Everflow fans, part number F129025SL, and they have 5 blades instead of the usual 7. From spinning the fan blades around with my finger, the motor feels a little "clicky" although I can't hear any noise...

I can comment on this as the X1950XT is basically a X1900XT but with higher clock speeds. I have tried a variety of PSU's with my system, a 460W Tagan, a 400W Enermax Liberty and the one in my sig. The Tagan was too loud when the fan ramped up, the Enermax could not supply enough power and caused th...

In the end for my SOLO build (which still isn't complete) I purchased 2 black 5.25" hard drive coolers from this ebay seller. A direct link to the actual product is here . International shipping was very reasonable, especially when you consider the strong £. I have installed them minus the fans and...

Could you try to make a duct to accomodate a larger and quieter fan at the rear? Something made out of cardboard and sticky tape, a la Blue Peter would be fairly easy to put together

Rofl. This is as much power as vacumm cleaner draws! Stupendous and pointless.

I am adamant that my current PSU is my last.

I have heard good things, overclocking wise about the ABIT AB9 Pro and the AB9 QuadGT. No idea how much they cost in your area though.

Seems like the PSU is going to be hovering up a fair amount of warm air from the CPU. However, if it is not ramping up then it seems good. Do you have any intake fans at the front?

I sit to the left side of my case so vents and fans in the side panel would be a quick way to my ear. The SOLO build I am doing uses airflow purely from front to back.

Where did you purchase your AT1 Khato? I can't use the X1950XTX cooler that I purchased on my X1900XT, as the fan requires a mini 4 pin connector, which the card does not have. I will definitely pick up an AT1. However, I have not seen any in the UK yet.

Hello, Apparently, there is a 92mm GlobalWin NCB fan made, but outside of the Hong Kong website, I can't find it for sale. This could be a very quiet, and durable, 92mm fan. Yes, I have some 120mm GolbalWin NCB's that have been used in various applications. Anyway, I have ordered the Glacialtechs a...

Regrading the vented covers, anyone have a couple to spare? Coolermaster sell mesh 5.25" bay covers from their online parts store and Lian Li also do some. I am in the UK and the links I have found are: http://www.coolermaster.nl/shop/index.php http://www.aqua-pcs.co.uk/index.asp?function=DISPLAYPR...

You could try the Glacialtech Silentblade ( link ) on paper it's good but I've never tried it. Those do look interesting and the specs look like exactly what I am after. However, we all know how misleading they can be! To give you an idea of what I am after, I require two fans to go at the front of...

My Raptor 74Gb has been quieter and cooler than both of my Maxtors from new. All drives are suspended via stretch magic in my case.

The HDD cage is orientated in the wrong fashion for optimal airflow. Is this the case in the old Sonata?

I bought the 80x15mm Zalman fan to use on one side of my V1 Ultra. At 5V it is completely inaudible and shifts an ok amount of air.

Seeing as Silencio has no 92mm fans for sale at the moment (does anyone know when he will?), what 92mm's do you guys recommend that are on sale in the UK? The best seem to be the Nexus and Acoustifan Dustproofs but they are both very expensive. Are there any cheaper options?

Hey guys, It looks as though Thermaltake has come up with some good products, although most likely licensed from Arctic Cooling. They are their TMG graphics card coolers: http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Cooler/TMG/vgacooler.asp They fit all new cards from ATI and nvidia and some of them direct ho...

I have the same motherboard as you with the same Zalman HS. Yes, it does get incredibly hot but I have not had any stability issues with it running with a HTT of up to 280Mhz. Of course, the cooler the better but I already have 7 fans in my computer and don't need any more!

I am also after a HSF unit from a HIS ICEQ3 card, or the stock X1950XTX cooler. However, it seems impossible to find these separately. I wish I knew which OEM's made them...

Well, I managed to create some stretch magic drive holders in the hard drive bay of my Aurora, which I have to say was one of the most testing things I have ever done. However, it was certainly worth the effort, as all resonance has been banished! The thin aluminium construction and hard mounts for ...

I'm really surprised that you decided to duct the Solo. It seems like a large added expense for a small gain. It is all hand built and taped together. I guess that is what the buyers are paying for though, a real SPCR worthy computer without all the work. Actually, once a cutting template has been ...

I received some stretch magic today and should be able to have a go installing it this evening. Will report back with its effectiveness.
