i agree to test ICD7

how does everyone else clean their case? any tips or proper way to do it? after upgrading the fans in my system i am weary of when it comes to cleaning it. it seems that i end up making the fans sound louder after cleaning it. i know with the dust layer removed and everything itll be louder but it s...

MikeC, thank you very much.

offtopic: in about a week or two i hope to have finished my project of lowering the noise of my computer, and when i am done i will report back with a write-up (with photos!) of my journey .

without a doubt everyone here at spcr have been patient and receptive!

what program would be recommended to benchmark/stress test a new HD to see if it is free from any initial manufacturer defects?

wouldnt 1600rpms be loud? i am a bit perplexed by this. it seems that the nexus and noctuas on sale in the 92mm range are all at higher speeds. around 1200rpms to 1600rpms. and their dba rating is 15 to 19dba on the sellers site. isnt the lower the dba the better? i thought they would be lower. or i...

is peel&seal stuff toxic?

i just remember when i was helping my friend out with mending his roof most of the materials had warning labels and etc.

usually stuff like: "causes cancer " and etc.

what kind of adhesive to use to adhere sound damping materials?

the cheaper the better but it has to work. is there anything out there that is strong but yet easy to remove in case of a mistake or future change/update to a case design?

what are the white dividers made from? and from where to acquire such things? the ones separating the gpu heat from the cpu and etc.

also how does the white diver above the gpu stay a top?

where can i buy peel and seal?

from what i searched it seems like they only sell it by the bulk. like enough bulk to cover a small house.

If you don't really need two 92 mm fans (maybe one fan is enough to blow on the HDDs), you could try the 100 mm Scythe Kaze-Jyu 1,000 rpm. It comes with holes for 92 mm mounting too. I bought two from this e-tailer, but haven't yet swapped the 92 mm Nexus in front of my P150 (I'm lazy, I know...): ...

After about a year of use it seems like the PSU fan has run its last course. It has an annoying whirl to it. I know it is still within warranty but it seems hard to claim and also a pain since ill have to send it back to Antec first and not have a PSU during the turn around time? What would you reco...

thank you for the replies.

why is the nexus fan the choice reference testing fan btw?

seems like to reviews the noctua is the best 120mm fan though...

thank you for the response. te 92mm fans listed on the main page are fans that i am unable to find to purchase or are to expensive. and update would as be nice :D the 120mm fan for SPCRS reference fan for testing... is that also the one used on heatsinks? is that even advisable? what regulates the r...

I am currently looking for two 92mm fans to use for the front of an Antec Solo case and i was wondering if there is anything that is like the aforementioned scythe fans in terms of performance and sound? and also price--they cost $7.49 on newegg! it seems that if anything i can mod the case and atta...
