Doesn't the harpsichord sound like two skeletons copulating on a tin roof?

Done the same thing to my FSP (similar internals to the nexus 30w 120mm). It reduces the turbulence of air blowing across the heatsinks quite a bit and the whoooooshing sound has dropped off a lot.
DrCR is your nexus that loud?

I too modded my Zalman (300W) with a papst - the clicking is just audible for me (too much loud music in my past?!). I had to solder the fan into the board.....Time to warm up that iron Smiorgan!

I'm using an Eheim 1048. I guess you could cool the whole lot passively if you get a big enough radiator....see zerofanzone for ideas on taking things to the limit!

I use a 120mm papst fan @ 7 volts dragging air through a black ice pro radiator. This is very quiet at this voltage - good enough for same room recording. There is minor hum coming from the eheim pump, but I am planning to suspend this on rubber bands soon to decouple it from the case. As the proces...

Zalman specify a separate fan to cool the VGA heat sink when used on cards like yours. <IMG SRC="modules/phpBB_14/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

I've been using one for about 8 months in my current set up. It's very quiet well worth investing in one.

If you look at the Quiet PCs built for Audio, the Matrox g550 seems to be ubiquitous. These seem to be the cards to go for if you want quiet ( the G550 doesn't have an onboard fan) twin monitor output. When you're working with Audio you just can't get enough display real-estate!
