Is there some silicon or something under your PSU? If it give some vibration to the case it may be smart to put something in between it and the case. Messy cabling, but what can you do, i find it hard to do a good cabling job on those small room HTPC cases so i usually just stuff it out of the way s...

There is no logical defense of morality outside of religion, only fuzzy sentiments. Fuzzy sentiments? Morality is what my parents taught me, mt school educated me about, coupled with personal experiences and own thought. I don't need a church to tell me how to act, i need people who care to show me...

It depends on your willingness to tweak really. AS5 will probably bring your CPU temperature down a bit compared to the preapplied stuff. But as we read in an article from Anandtech it was i believe, how well you spread your thermal paste matters more then which you use. Pre applied thermal paste is...

That's what i figured as well, but mounting it the other way around will put nearly it's entire weight on the fangril, because that's where the support thingy is. Going to try anyway, we'll see how it goes. I need to take it out to fit in the front Nexus fan anyway. If it doesn't work, i'll probably...

So, i got my Ninja early, which is great. It didn't fit however, which is a bummer. It came into contact with condensators/coils/whatever on my motherboard and would break them off if i put it on as tight as it should be. So i decided to just take the fan off the Andy and try to run it passive like ...

I have yet to hear a 1u server rack being even remotely near quiet, let alone silent. The ones i have make the noise of a hurricane. Sure i could silence them a bit, but getting them really silent? don't think it can be done without them seriously overheating. A 2u / 3u server on the other hand shou...

So, euhm, a semi update here. Apparently, the shop i ordered the Ninja + Slipstream fans at didn't bother ordering new fans so i decided to cancel them. I could wait longer, since this will just be an extra system on the side to mess around with, but I feel like building. So cancelled the fans, orde...

However, I disagree with seraphyn's step 4. That should be the first thing to go in the case, so you can determine cable layout and run any wires underneath the mobo if you need to. Also you don't want to slip and drop a PSU inside your case with a mobo in it... I never put cables under the motherb...

I assemble it this way: 1. Put CPU and it's heatsink on the motherboard. 2. Put Ram on the motherboard. 3. Put Motherboard in case. 4. PSU. 5. Harddisks, DVD drives. 6. PCI cards, Graphiccards. 7. Cables. 8. Fans / Fancontroller. Before all this though, comes the occasional modding / painting of the...

Ive just had an idea... i could cover the bottom with acoustic material... that would seal the holes and also provide some sound deadening! It's what i did. Didn't need cables going through there since everthing got routed through the back of the motherboard, so I sealed the whole thing up with som...

If I recall that is their 2 GPU unit based on the current GPU chipset. I thought they had a new GPU chip coming out soon. Soon is not that soon, probably May or later on even. For now it looks that the whole 9x00 series of Nvidia will just be dieshrinks. 9800X2 will be the new flagship, so expect p...

Re: Top down heatsink or tower heatsink?
I just have some airflow over it, got an intake fan + exhaust which puts airflow over the northbridge. Never had a problem with it.zorrt wrote:How are you guys that have tower heatsinks cooling your passive northbrigde without having to go aftermarket?

Another factor which I saw reading around here that you guys run your CPUs at much higher temps - e.g. 45-50 at idle. If I run it at that temp idle, by the means of a FAN speed conntroller, I can lower the RPM a lot more. That's the trade-off for silence :) Though high temps are not always the case...
