TDP not a problem, undervolt the MCH

Only one graphic card slot tho

For a new build with E8500 (might wanna do some OC).

ASUS P5Q PRO P45 S-775 ATX

or

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3R S-775 ATX

or something else?

:-) maybe they can; but I don't have too much time to google around; another point is that even if it is few tens cheaper then you have to pay post and packaging so it is not really cheaper if you have to order every item from different shop. I wanted everything from either same shop where I ordere...

On to your actual question.... as of now I've got an Enermax twister PWM fan on my heatsink. Real temp right now says my E8400 is at 32C. Seems pretty good to me and the fan is really quiet. I do have sitting on my desk a Noctua NF-P12 that I'm going to replace the Enermax with. Not really because ...

Maybe you should have a look at the "Attack of the Scythes" article aswell

okay wrote:Slim fan?

Height (without fan) 158 mm
Width (without fan) 126 mm
Depth (without fan) 71 mm
Height (with fan) 158 mm

Seems like the fan is 55 mm wide? Not slim at all? :p

Well the S1 wont fit becuase of a side fan. I ordered the HR-03 GT with a scythe Kama-flex 92mm Low speed fan. I wanted to try out these newer FDB 92mm fans and see how they are. Ive read some good reviews on them so far. Can't you get a S1 and bend it? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/AuraAl...

I've been thinking about something like this http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~celion/accelero.GIF Blue = air Red = ATI cards :) Blackthings = Acceleros Orange = nexus fan! Don't really know how big each things are tho but i've been thinkign about a setup like that abit, another plus about that is that y...

You will need to install new drivers drivers (particularly chipset drivers) as due to the differences in chipset architecture between them. All in all its not a bad thing as you just boot to safe mode, uninstall the chipset drivers and transfer the hdd across to the new board. then install the new ...

Oh, one more thing. One CPU is Intel and one AMD. So i need to change motherboard aswell. Is it just an easy change and move over all components etc or will i need to install new drivers etc?

And now i wanna test this.

OLD CPU + OLD GFX
OLD CPU + NEW GFX
NEW CPU + OLD GFX
NEW CPU + NEW GFX

But i don't really know a whole lot about benchmarking.
What programs should i try and grab before i start testing?

I had one, I still use the heatsing a nd the fan from it too cool my hdd. If I remember correctly, it managed to cool Venice 3000+ without spinning fast, basically inaudible. When I switched to Manchester 3800+ and clocked it a bit, heat was too mch and the fan had to work on max rpm to cool it. So...

Should i replace my Zalman 7000 or which makes the least sound?

Modo wrote:The tilting definately doesn't sound right. Have you tried running the PC on the side, so that the TRUE pushes itself onto the CPU? If the temps change, you'll know for sure what to do.

That wont work cause tower coolers get higher temps if they are in an horizontal position compared to vertical.

" LGA775 mounting arms attached. They could also have been mounted differently, across the path shown by the red lines, which rotates the heatsink 90 degrees. Which is the better way? It just depends on the details of your board. With AM2, the heatsink can only be mounted one way, dictated by the or...

What does heatpipes contain? After reading this im confused, or is it simply not as easy as just cuttingthem open?

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=a ... =892&num=1

That "Fenestron" technology seems intressting. What if they put enclosed the tips on computer fans?

Anyone have any experience with this fan?
It's getting good feedback on another page, but on the other hand they are often clueless

But its cheap so it got my attention

You've forgotten the C in the title

I'll borrow your thread for a quick question. Are enermax 425 and 525 as quiet as the 625 one reviewed here on spcr?

[Mod: There are several threads about these, and apparently they are as quiet. Ditto for the Pro versions.]

It'd probably be better to tell us the model number than to post a really tiny picture... :P But it's very easy to do a 5v mod to try and slow down the fan and find out how it will sound when run slower. But in general, I'd say you'd be better off going with one of the recommended 120mm fans on the...

Good news for me

On my x1650 XT, tested with the ATi Tool test:

Stock:
Idle: 52 C
Load: 71 C
Delta: 19 C

Accelero S2:
Idle: 45 C
Load: 57 C
Delta: 12 C

This is without a fan on the Accelero. Just case fans. Im more than happy

http://www.prisjakt.nu/bilder/bild.php?p=235170 Anyone know anything about these fans? I have a couple in my case now and wonder if they are useable in a silent case or if im better of replacing them asap. Right now my PSU and CPU coolers sound alot so i can't really tell if they are really loud or ...

ATi Tool 0.27 b2 <-- newest version?

I used Everest to stresstest my CPU/memory/hd. But i didn't find any way to stresstest my GPU. Soon i will be reciveing my accelero S2 and i wanna stresstest my GPU before and after install to take note of temps. Anyone know a program i could use?

Thanks

Hi, im thinking about an Antec Solo. I want to have an 800rpm Slip Stream in the back and i want to have airflow over my HDs so i wanna have an intake aswell. How is this one compared to Slip Streams in terms of cfm/sound ? http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/acc/035/sy1012sl12_detail.html And does it...

Why does not direct touch HS look like this?

http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~celion/heatsinkidea.jpg

lets call it a fatpipe, that is in contact with the entire cpu?

I just realise that making it wider towards the top might not be a good idea. But still, my main thought is exemplified here!

"One use for white noise is in the field of architectural acoustics. In order to dissemble distracting, undesirable noises in interior spaces, a low level of constant white noise is generated."

Could this be used to dissemble fan noise in any way?

winguy wrote:Thanks for the review. As for low airflow, would really like to see a review of Thermalright HR-01 PLUS soon.

Is that pretty much a TRUE designed for fanless use?

Are they multi-cored?
