for thermalright products you usually want to suck air away. but for alpha products you want to blow air on the heatsink. it just depends on the design. Actually, it's just the opposite. In general, Alpha heatsinks operate best if air is being sucked off of the HS (courtesy of the provided HS shrou...

Hi All, just thought that I would post a quick update. I installed one of the SilenX PSUs into my new system yesterday and, much to my dismay, I observed a high-pitched whine emanating from the PSU (coil whine?). I recently replaced this PSU with the other one that I ordered. Initially, the second o...

Pretty happy with my ATC-110. Lots of room and easy to work with. Unfortunately, there is no room to put anything with knobs behind the door. Hopefully, the new Coolermaster Aerogates will fit. Riffer: in case you are interested, I have the ATC-111 (very similar to the ATC-110) and I managed to fit...

I realize that the following question may seem somewhat silly, but given my situation re quiet/silent northbridge cooling (see this thread ), it is nonetheless pertinent (at least to me :wink:): is it really that terrible if the heatsink pins are bent? The reason I ask is that I can either use the z...

LushMD: Would you mind posting your CPU temps and what fan/HS your currently using. I'm seeing pretty high temps with an SLK, an 80mm fan @ 2000rpm (noisey) on my 2500+. Temps are 58deg(136f) idle and 60deg(140f) load after 30mins or so. System temp is 29-30 deg(84-86f), ambient temp is about 18-21...

Searching for an aesthetically appealing desktop ATX case
I am hoping to build a reasonably quiet HTPC style system in the near future and am in search of an aesthetically appealing, desktop ATX form factor case. I considered using a Coolermaster m-ATX case . However, this case is so large (dimensions: W=16.8", H=5.7", and L=18.7"), that I thought that I m...

The most economical solution would probably be to use 3-to-4 pin adapters like this one, which provides RPM support and then perhaps undervolt. Take care.

If you can locate one, you might consider a halogen lamp (they are becoming increasingly scarce in the US, at least at the stores near me; apparently some consider them to be a fire hazard :wink:).

From personal experience I can tell you (and I think that others here would agree) that you should avoid the Vantec Stealth fans (much like the Vantec Stealth and Enermax PSUs, these products are not quiet). As far as comparing Papst and Panaflo fans, it seems that some here prefer Papst while other...
