Three pin usually means an RPM sensor wire. This allows you to connect the fan to a motherboard header. However, most Panaflos don't have an RPM reading capability. I assume you are refering to a Fanmate; made by Zalman - allows you to adjust voltage to the fan. (Lower voltage = lower fan speed = le...

Summer Temps
Reporting In:
Summer is just about here at 49 north. Ambient at 24 C, and my system shows the following:
Temp Probes:
Case 27.7
CPU 38
RAM 32
MBM reports:
MoBo 37
Samsung 25
Seagate 36
Methinks the Antec P160 with a single 120mm exhaust is doing just fine.

I don't know if this will help or not. The grommets are like a "Cheerio" (ceral breakfast food, not your 'goodbye') with a groove set into the outside circumference. The grommet is wiggled into position in the hole through which you would normally install the screw to hold the fan. The nylon bolt pa...

Ralf has got it right. Flat cables tucked up to the case side via 'cable oragami' will reduce any impedence to air flow through the central portions of the case. If rounded cables could be 'flattened' against the back of the case, similar results could be realized. However, trying to flatten rounded...

As an alternative solution: I mounted a 120 mm EverCool Al fan to the rear of my case using a combo of rubber grommets and nylon bolts/nuts. The fan frame is 25 mm thick, so a typical 'ear' mount would not work. The procedure involved drilling oversized case holes to accept the grommets. End result:...

Welcome to SPCR! Yes, rubber grommets are the best route to go other than silicon based isolators. But, there is a bit of difference between rubber grommets and rubber washers. Grommets are the most effective as they isolate mounting screws from the case; washers will not. To effectively seat a grom...

How about the 'finger stuck in ear' approach? Kind of crude, but I must agree with the previous post: it is hard to symbolize a computer that is quiet. Methinks there are miillions of users out there that have no idea about 'quiet' computers. To create a logo that transfers an immediate idea is goin...

Welcome to SPCR! Most claim the Sonata is a quieter case as the P160 has a larger front opening allowing more noise to escape. Having said that, I have a P160. It is dampened using close-cell foam and runs a single 120mm exhaust (EverCool @ 5V, 1068 rpm). It is to my ear, very quiet. I have a ti4200...
