and would also make great use of the ''Advanced Chassis Air Guide'' system if the case has it

Not done any research on this recently, but yes hozer2k your right. Its to do with the resonant frequency in the coil winding that can vibrate when a harmonic is found in the circuit and is dependent on the number of winds in the coil etc... It can be cured by placing a smoothing capacitor in the ci...

The Damned - The Black Album

Now that is VERY tidy, Like it ! And the Yamaha AV amp is just the job for turning all that DATA into joyful noise

I have just recomended the Seagate barracudas to someone for an audio system, how do you find the noise from these two you have ?

Hi there. My system is mostly used for audio work and I have no games on this system. It is based on an old p4 HT 478 chip and MSI mobo. My complete system spec is here http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36237 I am running most of the time 4-5 music programs with all the plugs and ...

Good luck with the case on which you decide. But from my take on things any case can be made to be quiet with work by adding damping material and so on. It comes down to what you want as far as drives go and the look you want, and also what the fan arrangement is.And your budget ! Im using a cost cu...

Your generic PSU looks like an FSP, which isn't really all generic. :) Yes generic, bad use of word I now feel as FSP is a brand name. You Know your psu's ! Yes, cant say which FSP with out looking, are they anygood ? Just looked, its a FSP250-60-MDN-120 'quiet' ! Cant find much info on this apart ...

Used to use Zone Alarm with no prolems, infact I liked it very much though I am now using the Sunbelt Kerio Firewall which is also a top product with great features. Other software I use is AVG and Ad-aware SE pro and all this together should be all you need. I also use homecall from Trend Micro eve...

Well Ive been round the forum for a bit now and log in often to catch any posts or threads that may be of interest to me which Im glad to say is quite a few ! Thought Id get a reaction on my system as it is with the aid of some rather bad fotos that were taken with my pda, and a list of parts that a...

That 7.1 channel onboard sound will have a very high currant draw caused by the dynamics of the games that will be in short bursts. Lots of effect sounds contain low frequency that will cause massive peeks. Can you turn the gain on the board down independant from the volume ? Also it may be a just a...

very Very noce
Antec cases look so good dont they.............

Mr Bungle !!!!

Now im sure no one see that coming LoL

Exellent weirdness

Oh and Im listening to: Tin Star - Dirtybird

You could always try a modeling amp such as something from the superb Line6 range ?

Nice links, thanks very much. :wink: Though what Im saying is that if these test conditions were met then they would give a base from where to start. Everything reacts different when in different surroundings, but to only say this means that every one is just starting from scratch and would make any...

Ha ha yes Bluefront, with no motor / no rotation, would be very quiet ! But, quote "Oh yes, the question.......simply, what is the quietest fan ! (@12v /) (still quiet if >12v) ? " So sorry the motor has to be connected. Yes the cfm is a major factor as you point out that a 12 cfm fan may be useless...

Cheers Tibors, I did read that yes article yes and then wondered if id missed all the fun ! I must be more patiant LoL
I cant wait for the results personly as it needs a test like that to give a firm base from which others can draw their conclusions on whats best suites them

Ummm, I very much like this !!! Exellent fabrication and lots of thought went into this project. Top one Endosteel !

So this is my question and it seems many others. I have spent days reading through separate threads about various fans but feel that none actually answer the question but do give a good account of all the variables involved. Has anyone yet posted up a test of each fan that I see time and time again ...

Now I did resist at first, but now that headphones have been mentioned I must give some better options. You see those Creative cans are OK.....But, Wher they fail is that they are of the '' open air '' design and therefor will allow sound to escape from the rear of the speaker into the room. What yo...

:D Just fitted the VM 102 that arrived this morning and the drop in noise over the stock fan is so much its now eerily quiet ! Will be posting pics and temps soon. Only thing I have to mebtion is that I`d like to have had a more secure fixing to the card.... Aerocool VM 102 was chosen above the Zalm...

Very interesting as I have been looking at the S12 380w for my own system. Could this whine be cured by adding a cap to help smooth the signal rather than a risistor to load it ? I also have the smae problem with a light bulb running from a dimmer. When the dimmer is turned down the bulb produces th...

I plan to fit the Aerocool VM 102 heatsink to my FX5600 card. I have read that this out performs the Zalman ZM 80 considerably. It will be fitted onto a mini ATX board along with (hopefully) a Scythe Ninja cpu heatsink. I have seen this combination fitted to a full size ATX by someone on this forum ...

WOW !!!!
The price of items will never cease to amaze me. If you really dig you can find out just how much your money is worth, and how much people like to take it !

Now if the two faster fans are undervolted untill they all run at the same rpm then the dba and cfm will all be the same ? Yes, because they are the same fan (same blade shape, motor IC, etc). You'll notice that the CFM for the 800rpm fan is roughly half the CFM of the 1600rpm, CFM is linearly prop...

Hi peeps, Just another question from me in my quest for being able to sleep in the same room as the PC running 24/7 ! Now I sure I know what your gonna say, but. Just to be sure, here is my question....... 3 fans, Scythe S-Flex 120mm 1600rpm, 28.0 dba 1200rpm, 21.1 dba 800rpm, 8.7 dba Now if the two...

I use the Advent keyboard, also badged as Speed Link. I find that the ease in which my fingers now glide across this ultra thin keyboard has good effect of being quiet. The mouse I am using has a nice action and quiet scroll wheel but the micro switches are not that quiet. The quietest mouse I have ...

Great thread ! Because I am also looking at a fan controller to go inside my case. The ones I have been interested in are the, Thermaltake Hardcano 13 / 12 Coolermaster Aerogate 3 Akasa FC 03 Silverstone FP52 Not too many then !! :? :lol: Now that is (for now) the order in which I am looking, with t...

Hi, came across this build thanks to Google. I just had to join the forum and say thanks to KorruptioN for a great post ! I have just built a system based on the NSK6000 and think that its a great case. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v255/13rian/IMAGE_00201.jpg Basic build. Soon to be added are S...
