I have a Fractal Define C And I am wondering if upgrading the included https://www.fractal-design.com/products/fans/dynamic/dynamic-x2-gp-12/black/ exhaust fan to a NF-A12x25 PWM will have any meaningful change to fan noise and cooling. I would guess its very minor and that intake is more important,...

I am getting one for my server which is a AMD X3 PI and a MB with onboard Nvidia 8200 gfx on, so max load should be pretty low. Just wonder if it will be as quiet as my HX620 (With same load %)

I am on the lookout for a new case and I really like the HAF 932 for its airflow even though I hate the looks, but I wonder if those fans are noisy?

In My Oppinion

Both my coils on my MB (Abit IP35 PRO) and my Corsair HX620 whines when I move my mouse in windows, its freaking me out really, but I think I read somewhere that it could be a graphic setting that is causing it somehow as I really dount the coils on both units are defect. Can it help to not oc my co...

What of the current chipsets would be best to be paired with 4850/4400+ (Dunno if the 4850 is less power hungry) and hd4350. Needs to be stable and low on power draw.

Well topic, but normally a 1Gb have more ram slots and maybe different layout. So does it fit without mods?

I currently have this Asus 8800GTS 512 Supra DVI -> HDMI cable Panasonic 42PZ85 But I keep getting issues. Right now its a black screen and no way to get a picture or respons from my computer, my DVD recoder works fine in those HDMI ports I use. It worked fine yesterday.. But I just got my tv home f...

So stupid they saved money on the cooler when the card is sold for more..

Ok I am going to wait for the new 2TB wd drives then and see if they slash the 1Tb prices a bit and then buy another WD GP

I am in need of a new 1Tb drive for storage, and now I can see that (at least on the danish market) the F1 EcoGreen has just been released which is the counter to WD GP.

But anyone seen a review with this vs the WD GP ?

I am thinking of getting my second WD GP 1TB drive, but I am abit undercertain if its safe to have them running 24/7 when its not the raid edition?
I do not access them constantly which makes me think its safe or do it not matter how often you access it just how long time its online?

Year I hope these are released soon so WD can get some competition even though the prices for GP drives are very low, but competition = innovation. Plus 500Gb platters should make 1.5Tb possible pretty easy and even 2Tb. I am just wondering if the price/Gb will be as low as the 1Tb drives one 1.5/2....

Pretty sure you void warrenty by removing the icepack, thats why I bought the version without^^

If you choose Abit motherboard then be aware that they are out of businuess as of 31 dec 08.

Just a semi warning, if you buy the Scythe Quite Drive 2.5" then I just want to say that I have yet not been able to mount this in my case as no screws will fit in it and therefore I can only have it laying on the bottem of my case on sound damping materials, and this is a good solution for sound bu...

I have a 8800gts 512 and my corsair psu is always making a whine, but its all the time. but thats properly a coil problem,

So I need to do so it dont throttle down?

To be completly honost Iam begging to doubt if its the motherboard but the PSU instead. Because of type of tone this is I can't pinpoint it :S Tried taking a newspaper and making a tube at my ear but that didnt help much Could be since they also have coils in them. Even some vid cards have same iss...

I had this issue with MSI P6N Diamonds... Had so many issues with that board that I finally gave up. My new ASUS P5Q-E has been fantastic, both quiet AND stable. If it bothers you that much, you may try to RMA or get a new board. Can't RMA it. Bought it from a shop that went bankrupt, and now from ...

My velociraptor is laying on the ground in the case but on some antivibration cloth I have. I have a SQD 2.5" but for some reason I cant get any screws to fit in it so I cant mount that in my case, so for now I do not use that. If its the coils, do such things get hot? Or can I stuff something ontop...

I normally have my computer on during the night so now I bought a Lian Li V2110 and alot of Yate Loon 1350rpm fans to silence it. But I was deeply mistaken. Now I have this annyoing on and off high tone noise that my sound dampend case does not stop. Its not very high, but when I have no music on an...

The HDD is very quite now, I mostly wanna put it in the rack for looks, but my hdds have small rubber things to reduce vibration.

But no screws fits those holes!

Ok I got it installed now with one gelpad, but I cant in any way get any screws into the external part of it so it can be mounted in my case :S right now its just laying on the bottem of my case which aint helping on vibration. http://www.2and2.net/files/492fe7210acde.jpg http://www.2and2.net/files/...

Well if I install the drive like this the seek noises are much loader, so think its working as a icepack for me just being worse as this does not disperse heat.

Thats 25£ wasted

Dont it make more noise then due to vibration when its right up against the metal?

I just got my new SQD but I am not sure how I should fit the Veloci inside it. Do anyone know a little picture guide that shows which parts you skip due to the thickness of the drive?

Ok bought the 2.5" 150gb version yesterday and GOD is there a huge difference between that and my Hitachi 1tb I almost can't hear it work. So that together with WD GP drives is heaven !

/me is in love!

Do I void the warrenty by removing the icepack? Because the 2.5" is 20$ more expensive here in denmark compared to the 3.5"
