You can have some bearings problems over the ages. Try with a new fan

You can go with something like that: http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku= ... cture=NZXT

For your CPU, you can go with a tower heatsink, it will be more silent then a Zalman.

with this computer you will need a CPU fan, some low speed model <1000RPM and some cases fan, one intake and another for exaust (again, low speed model) to cool your video card.

For "silence out of the box" it can be very quiet but, for me, all the fan coming with the case have a very annonying clicking noise.

Thats doesn't bother at all because I already have my slipstream.

1st question: In this case there is 2 exaust fans and one intake. There is an intake grill right uner the HDD cage so fresh air is coming from there. 2nd question: This case is pretty quiet I was having a Antec P150 before this one and this is the same level of noise. The metal in the case does not ...

I just made made an update of my main rig. There is the componants: Proc: C2Q Q6600 @ 3.2 Ghz, M/B: Biostar T-Power I45 MB, Video: Nvidia GTX 260 896mb, Case: Coolermaster Cosmos RC-1000, H/D: OCZ Agility 60gig, WD 320gig, WD 500gig, Memory: 2 x 2 Gig G.Skill PI (4-4-4-12), CPU Cooler: OCZ Vendetta ...

A good deal for canadian people, a Seasonic M12 500 watts for 50$ after 15$
MIR at NCIX

There is the solution:

For the case I see 2 options: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112235 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129041 Under 100$ I dont think you can get better than that. For you video card I prefer to put a slow rpm fan (scythe slipstream @ 800rpm) with an a...

I will make the test on my OC to compare with the ocz freeze I use

NCIX build computers, but I dont know the quality of their work!

For your CPU you can look at this product: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php? ... omoid=1055

BTW, nice build

The freezer radiator is a bad idea because you will need a huge pump that will make a lot of noise.

you have to do this every time you wants to remove the front panel.

Personnaly I use an OCZ Vendetta 2 on a C2D e6400 and it run passively at stock speed.

This one is PWM, but with a little mod it is probably the best solution : http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku= ... ure=Scythe

For a case fan, the low static pressure of the slipstream is not a problem. I have 3 of them on my cosmos rc-1000 and the airflow in my case is really good.

Personally I prefer the ninja, beacause it as the same performance with a lighter weight.

For the power supply, the termaltake is not a good choise, you must consider a corsair, enermax or seasonic.

The cm690 is a really good case but for noise the antec is really better. If you want to reduce the noise you must replace the stock cooling of your video card, it is the noisiest thing of your system. Use an accelero s1 or a zalman vf1000. For the processor cooling I suggest the ninja, or the vende...

For the electromagnetic pump I found something that is very interresting. http://www.novamaxindustrial.com/docs/ESX%2004%20Flyer%20NX.pdf This is an existing electromagnetic pump thats have the capacities for computer cooling. Thats to give to the SPCR community an idea of the cooling capacities of ...

you can go with something like that:
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php? ... ROUP%20USA

the formula for caculating the noise of fans is: log10(number of fan)+(dB of the fans)

Example: 6 fans of 15dB

Log10(6)+15=...

dont have a calculator on my hand for the moment.

This formula come from the ASHRAE fundamental handbook

For a silent video card you must go with a gigabyte or an asus 9600gt. Those 2 companies offer fanless solution for this GPU. at approx 150$, it's a must.

I just pass a order for some new pieces, there is a list of it: -Coolermaster Cosmos Full Tower ATX Case : $180.36 -3x Scythe Slip Stream Kaze Jyuni 120MM Fan 800RPM 40.1CFM 10.7DBA : $6.21 (each) -Enermax EMD525AWT MODU82+ 525W ATX12V V2.3 24PIN : $108.00 -3x Nexus Real Soft Silicon Fan Mounts : $2...

I have a VF1000 on my 8800GT, you can see it here: http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=47273. I use the zalman fan controller to run it on 5 volt. At this speed it is very silent, I can't hear it over the rest of my system. The temp are at 40 C on idle and 60 C on hard gaming. There...

are they available in canada?

thanks for your responses, I will buy the enermax, It seem to be slighty better than the corsair. When I got it I will campare the noise level with my antec neoHe 430w and I will give some comments to you guys!

I have some hesitations between those two units. There is at the same price at DirectCanada.com and I cannot decide wich one to buy.

Enermax: http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=11510AC9614
Corsair: http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=11180AC4384

Any Advice?
