Good thing

Stupid cults. I am no son of the devil, but (SEMI-)religions
cause a lot of trouble. Good reason to shit on them.

Hey, I'm afraid I can't help you with the Ninja-choise. But I do know that the S1 is SLI-compatible. That's nice :lol: And take a look at the review of www.xbitlabs.com they tested the 8800GT for wattage. I believe it lay arround 90 Watts. Ofcourse yours is overclocked and may be a bit more power-co...

lol, didno

Indeed, but I really like the looks! I don't know if the weight is that bad. My 650g Rev. B Ninja has no problem beeing carried around, while I didn't even bother to use a bolt-through. Obviously that's a good Idea for this one.. But serious won't you be stupid if you used the Cu-version with a fan?...

I agree Das Saunamies (where did you get that name from anyway?). I'm getting no problems or anoying noises from my S12-430 for years now. It's actually that quiet that my ~180W-rig is virtually inaudible (because the rest of the noctua-fans are undervolted to 5v). So the changes are quite big that ...

George van Kralingen, Dont mess up the good image of the dutchman! Cooler"master" is a company that only builds so-so-qualityproducts (this is a copy-paste- cheaper of the XP120). Example: I've seen and felt the Stacker 830 and while that's a "high-end case" it was not that well finished, to rough a...

So I see many people with arguments here. Some are with me, some are against (or teh other way around) What bothers me is the word "charity". How do you define that? - Is it something like helping other humans out? - Or is it assisting nature by not destroying it? For some who have thoughts beyond t...

Right, so sarcasmic titles are serious.. wow.

Hi folks, After all the news about the "make the world a better place"-thing, I thought many times...yes I do. In points: 1 - Why make the world a better place, then we are social animals. But in the end our basic instincts take over to take care of ourselfs. 2 - Why give the children better educati...

Hey, first off all, it's Europ[b]e[/b].

Second, I'm dutch

Third, I don't know how the penny-mod exactly works, but I would think that 5 or 10 eurocent-coins are OK..

Hi,

i've got an X2-4400+ 939 65W. My system, 2 GB, 1 SATA-drive, 2 fans runs on a calculated 65 idle and 140 load.

These number are max.

My PSU is a Seasonic S12-430 (very good sample!) which is obviously overkill.

Hi I've got one myself... I use an NV Silencer from Arctic Cooling on it at 5 volt, very important! 12v is far to loud! Cools reasonable for a very hot chip: 88 degrees max, summer, Rthdrltdbl (or something like that). According to a test earlier on SPCR, the noise it makes is ~19 dBA at 5v. That wa...

It's best to have the Scythe's FDB-bearing horizontally. They float in any direction over the fan's frame. No mechanical wear measureable. Sleeve-bearings are not built in ANY way for horizontal mounting. They will abrade over the entire area (the hubs made of) which causes them to make grinding and...

hey I've got one Quiet Drive from Scythe myself a few weeks ago, works like a charm. With indirect fan of the PSU only, some 20 cm of, it cools better than the same drive in the same place in free air. Quite astonishing, but better even, the seek noises I had, which were minor, are muffled quite a b...

Koolpc, don't settle the system on the desk. Simple as that.

In my peaceful village (why not war? I should be quite good with weapons after years of "shooting") hangs a pretty low ambient noise. That is why 4 years back I decided to do something about my noise computer. After many HS- and fanswaps and actually a new system, I have got a PC which even at night...

It looks like an old HDD-cooler to me, instead of a silencer.

I've got the silencer myself, helping quite a bit actually. I love it.
But 20 buks isn't much, mine was 30 euro...

Wauf:P

about the PC's cable management.... I've got zip-ties, exellent stuff.

Well, it would be stupid if it's more noisy...

Why the hell should that be the case?!

IF you don't want to die,
don't ask stupid questions in these ub0r-forums.

idiot

I've got some experience with my Seasonic S12-430.. pretty guiet. But it can be done better: Use passive with a unbelievably slow fan, or you could hang a passive a bit OUT of the casing (Bluefront, with the positive pressure-setups has experimented a lot with it). The Zen with mesh upwards is super...

If you use the stock-cooler together with one of the Tri-Cools, that doesn't totally help shit, even worses in some situations...

Mabye a Tri-Cool making the wind dance around an HR-03 would solve the problem

Just try the ATT renderer. I'm not that much of a gamer, but I haven't seen any game push my GPU over 51-52 degrees, while the ATT thingie can heat it up to over 60. 60 degrees isn't even warm for the X1950 or other high-end cards. They take 80-90 degrees with relative ease.. Evreything is relative...

10 min. heating by a (almost only) convection-cooled CPU seems a bit (read: FAR TOO) short.
A minumum of 1 hour to stabilize is neccesary, if it was only to settle a stable
temperature for all components of your system.

I bet it's going higher than 70...

Maybe it isn't that bad a choise, Papst fans are very sturdy.

But you might as well seek out an Panaflo or Nexus 92 if you can find/afford them

LOL I read your reaction - let's not bless god for this coincidence, it's not. But back to what a backplate is. :twisted: It is basically a strengthening plate to reinforce the mainboard around the CPU. With the mass of some high-end coolers being over 600 grams, the mainboard's PCB get's stressed b...

If you install a backplate - the mass doesn't really matter that much.

I guess you'll want the Scythe Ninja Mini to be a tad shorter that 100 mm?


For the rest, I think you'll need to built a costum heatsink yourself

LOL slow burning or idle of my Sony 720A writer is pretty acceptable. For the rest... FUCK CD's and DVD's that's rude, indeed it is. I can't live with games whining (both in figure and literally) for those stupid earbleeding CD's or DVD's. For the good of the world, some acne-glass-heads with a back...

I'd keep my parents in a pool of blood... Not too long of course, otherwise I'd make my own food.

I guess they'll shut up then - for a moment.

And the blood? Where I'd get it? My French *Fraumensch*/teacher I think.
