Thank you ronrem and jackylman once again. I certainly have fallen behind the times, 200mm is crazy! SPCR has reviewed the Barracuda 7200.10 series and found it's fairly noisy compared to the competition (and it runs hot too :(). In fact, I have a feeling they will easily be the noisiest things in y...

Thank you sincerely jackylman, and especially for answering each of my questions :) -If you're on a tight budget, I would get the S12-380 instead. It will have more than enough power for your system. Forgot to mention the S12-430 is already purchased (taking it from my previous rig!) -What C2D are y...

Hey there fine people of spcr, I'm a friend from back in the old days of spcr when it was hard to get those silent bits and bobs (looking back at my thread archive is quite cute!) I used to be very up to date on the preferred silencer's hardware but other commitments since got in the way :cry: I've ...

I'm probably way behind, but over on Thermalright's site they list the XP-120 under both Intel and AMD

I can't wait!

Best Regards

hitman47 -- It's for P4, not K8, so yes, it could be an issue for many boards with taller northbridge coolers, if the northbridge is closer to the CPU.-Ed Sorry, I meant that if (and hopefully when) the Thermalright XP-120 supports the K8, we would see fewer or perhaps no such northbridge problems....

Now I only see certain problems with NB's being passively cooled (like my Intel D875PBZ) ... HUGE ... but, I think, "bigger + quieter" is the way forward. Seems neat :). About the northbridge problem - it just occured to me that the Athlon64 nForce3 boards would not suffer from this problem, as the...

I understand it must be too early to call (as the Pentium-M architecture will no doubt be beefed up for the desktop) but how does the Pentium-M compare to the Athlon64, temperature and performance wise?

Best Regards

cheers lads

EDIT: 15.8cm depth seems fine, but 35.9cm width? My Compaq keyboard is standard keys and it is 45cm width - perhaps this is what you mean?

Thanks again

I've looked but can't find it anywhere - can someone please tell me the dimensions of the UltraX keyboard?
Not thickness, just width and depth please - oh and err metric please, i'm in good 'ole blighty

Many thanks

Check out the Acousti site, there's loads of reviews up now. Personally, I cannot wait for mine to arrive. Edwardng, are you sure the resistor drops the voltage to 6.5V? Its just one of the afore mentioned reviews, PimpRig, says it drops it down to 8.5V? I thought it was a typo, but: http://reviews....

Here's a comparison of a 92mm Panaflo L1A and an 80mm L1A (as well as other HSFs too) on an SLK900 at 12V, 7V, and 5V. Cheers for that Ralf Proper insulation of the case with something like AcoustiPack might also eliminate the sound from outside once the case panel is closed, particularly if your c...

Edwardng, just read your review of the Acoustifans, and you say: I tried putting a 92mm Acoustifan on the SP-94 but its proximity to the PSU fan caused a wind turbulence sound, so I decided to skip on the fan for the CPU HS Would this not happen to me too? Perhaps an 80mm fan would not have this tur...

Thanks mate that's exactly what I was after... If you can find a better 92mm fan (AcoustiProducts' AcoustiFan AF92CT is my recommendation), then definitely go with 92mm. The AcoustiFans were the exact fans I was looking at after their favourable reviews (well the AF92CT or AF80CT)! I'm not sure whic...

I wanted to ask for some advice on the ThermalRight coolers such as the SLK-9 xx and the SP-9 x . I see that these coolers are generally longer then they are wider, such as length: 90mm, width: 59mm etc. Thus, I'm not sure whether to purchase a 92mm or 80mm fan for the Thermalright cooler I am looki...

Excellent news, can't wait
I'm unable to decide between the SLK3700-BQE and the SuperLANBoy.. waiting for Mike and Ralf to pass their verdict

Kind Regards

Ralf, will there be a review of the Super LANBoy as well?

Kind Regards

Don't mean to crosspost, but I felt it was relevant for both threads...

Popped over to antec-inc.com today, noticed they've finally updated their rear photos of the SLK3700-BQE



Lovely open grills Enjoy

Kind Regards

What size is the SuperLANBoy? I notice that whilst the SLK-3700AMB and BQE are "super mid towers" and the Sonata is just "mid tower," the old LANBoy is only "mini tower." (Antec Case Comparision PDF) http://www.antec-inc.com/pdf/CaseComparison.pdf I'm hoping by the term "Super" that the SuperLANBoy ...

AntecRep- Regarding the new Super Lanboy, and the fact that "electric blue LEDs light up your game" :wink: I was wondering, is the only blue light source from the front fan? Simply because I am now considering this case too, and I don't want a blue light shinging from it at night - therefore, if I w...

AntecRep, still no updated/360degree pictures, nor any info on a european release

Kind Regards

Shame, my pay comes through tomorrow and I was going to purchase said PSU

So, this does not happen with the Super Silencer Series, just the Tornado?

Kind Regards

P.S. Perhaps they'll fix it with the Tornado 400W??

Yea I reckon the only reason people would choose a Sonata over this is
-Front Headphone and Mic jacks
-blue light
-glossy paint job
-size restrictions

else give me the SLK3700-QBE any day

you are kidding me :shock: so it has the same grill as the sonata, it has rubber-gromet fan mounts and the front fan mounts between the bezel and HD cage as it should; brings me to the conclusion: what is the point in the Sonata :P !? IMO this case looks like it'll kick its behind :D One more point;...

OMFG!! Am I right in thinking that it now uses vibration reducing rubber grommets rather then the pants plastic fan mounts they used to have? I'd say so, cos looking at the manual (at the website http://www.antec-inc.com/pdf/manuals/3700BQE_uk.pdf) it says: we've included one rear-mounted 120mm cool...

nope can't find it at Dabs

I might consider sparing/vinyl, but would rather a ready done bezel that doesn't screw warrantee!

So, any other UK links ??

THanks all

Was going to put my order through for a Lite-On 165H DVD Black Bezel @ OCS (theoverclockingstore.co.uk) just today! But guess what; someone had to cease trading :x (joking, best wishes to all @ OCS and hope they get through this tough time...) Anyhow, it appears they were the ONLY source of this bla...

gotcha thanks gbr

yes, duncan from ntl!?

tis me, hitman47, same as OCUK

how did your project go mate, with your slk3700?
mines underway as we speak, case is top class, just need these papst fans;
what do you think of the combination of slk3700 + papst 4412fg?
personally i cant wait for them to arrive

EDIT: i wanna re-phrase that...

there are 3 versions of Shin-Etsu x-23?...

7798
7783
7762

so:
which of these is the best?
do they all beat g-751?
which are available/will be available/will never be available?

lol thanks all
