Sorry havn;t been on SPCR lately. but seems you guys already found the wallpaper.

I did stole some idears from a few posts on the forum.
Like the one with 120 mm intake fan.

Which LCD mount are you using? Also, how did you manage to get your fans to hang like that? I'm really impressed with how clean your setup looks. The fans on the Heatsinks are clipped on with the clips that come with the heatsinks. All the other fans are put on with rubber plugs: http://www.ikbenst...

The Myboook heh thats a different story. Indeed it is noisy, but thats mostly because of vibration noise. It can be more silent when it's placed on some foam. But what I have heard is that most external HDD's are noisy. One thing with my version is, it doesn't boot with the PC. It only boots when I ...

The model of the screen is: Samsung SyncMaster 931bw. I do have a link from the company that made it. http://www.vogels.com/detail.asp?ISSAID=549&ParentID=36&ChildID=80&PlineId=0 On the site you'll find every detail needed. Personally I'm very happy with the stand! It can be moved in allot of possit...

Connected it to my new Media PC without a vidcard (hasn't arrived yet) to check it. it worked for 5 minutes and then wen't of by itself. Now if I want to turn it on the orange power light turns red.

I don't know what the hell is wrong.

I'm not sure where you can buy it in your country, but I do have a link from the company that made it. http://www.vogels.com/detail.asp?ISSAID=549&ParentID=36&ChildID=80&PlineId=0 On the site you'll find every detail needed.

Well I reapplied the heatsink AGAIN this weekend, here are the new results. They suprised me, but I have a feeling you guys expected it already: -IDLE- Motherboard: 43C CPU: 29C Core 1: 34C Core 2: 32C GPU: 46C GPU diode: 53C GPU memory: 45C HDD: 38C -STRESSED- Motherboard: 47C CPU: 50C Core 1: 56C ...

Ok...ok... I'll test it one more time tomorrow.
This time with more paste and the heatsink turned.

That photo was from the first applied setup, I used it as reference. I forgot to make pictures with the credit card apply... sorry So yeah I did clean it ofcourse :) Some things I want to mention: The air comming from the PSU hasn't become any hotter then with the other setups, actually there is now...

First some promised pictures of the cables behind the drive bay: http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/1521/01wf5.th.jpg http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/9092/02no0.th.jpg http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/3233/03az2.th.jpg http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/3232/04bi8.th.jpg I made some photo's wit...

I'll post some pictures tomorrow, that should be the best plan.
I should post those promised side photos then too.
I received the new Fans today so I'll place those too.

Indeed I folllowed the site, already once so I'm confused if I should try it again. But could it be possible that when you move the heatsink too much later on you can also get not so good temperatures. I remeberd that I moved against the heatsink allot when I tried to replace an older Papst fan with...

I'm using arctic remover and purifier.

I'm going to use AS5 otherwise I have to buy another tube of paste. I'll use a bank/credit card to spread a thin layer, this worked great on the Geforce. I hope you're right about the Scytje fans, call me mad but I just ordered a pair (1200 rpm) I hope to receive them before the weekend. New temps: ...

Upcomming fridayI'll remove the heatsink and refit it. So how should I best apply the thermal paste then? Last time I followed the instrucions from the Arctic site. should I spread it out myself this time? Does anyone has examples from the amount of paste that has to be applied? On the Thermalright ...

Ok I'll post some photo's for you tomorrow
I tried to place the Nexus on the THermalright....... How the hell can that be done, there are no holes

I removed the upper Nexus intake fan and replaced the Noctua with the Nexus. The stressed temperatures are as follow: Motherboard: 51C CPU: 62C Core 1: 68C Core 2: 64C GPU: 51C GPU Diode: 60C GPU memory: 55C HDD: 40C I'll try to replace the Noctua outtake with a Nexus. I'm now more worried about the...

How about the room ambient temp? The ambient temperature is around the 23C I'd guess that the "presence" you are hearing is a product of the Noctua fans? Indeed, a slight whoosh sound from the outtake Noctua. Anyways....might want to doublecheck the heatsink attachment....maybe not making solid con...

It's summer here so it's pretty hot outside. Like you mentioned; I also applied the Paste like that on my heatsink. But still is it only the CPU thats too hot, or are the other component also too hot? I already had a hunch but I still can't put my finger on what the real heat problem is. I'll wait f...

I also used Artic Silver 5 but I aplied it as Artic mentioned on their site.
A small drop in the middle and then let it pressed out by the heatsink.

I also used AS5 on the GPU heatsink but there I aplied it as you mentioned, no problems there :/ maby I really have to reaplly the paste.

Indeed after I replaced my old PCI video card with the 8800GTX the temps rised allot

The ambient temperature is around 22C

I edited the first post and added the CPU info.
My system isn't overclocked, but I do have e screen cap from some specs:


Thanks for the tip I'll look into it maby it will help to lower the temps.

Doh my mistake I thought I had mentioned everything. The CPU is a Intel Core Duo E6600.
The HS is indeed a Thermalright Ultra-120

I edited the first post, so both are mentioned now.

Well thats the problem. I already mod the case to fit a GTX, even before I bought it :oops: It was easy to do but I felt bad to cut such a beautifull case. But now I'm doubt myself if it would be smarter to go for the GTS. I have a 7800 GTX now with a Zalman on it. It's a bit noisy and not too hot, ...

I used the 8 pin now.
I can't see any difference but if it doesn't hurt I'm Okay with it.
Thank you for the tip.
