bought the latest version of this case, waiting on delivery it seems to be quite different to the ones in this thread http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06.php?pr_index=314&cl_index=1&sc_index=26&ss_index=66 am pretty sure the front 120mm fan will be disconnected - the 140mm should be just ...

Ive got a Sonata 1 and i too noticed the dust coming in around the door but found you can seal those finger size gaps around the door with draft seal tape - it comes in a back colour so it blends in well with the case. I also used some black vinyl electrical insulation tape to seal the small gap whe...

this review usually opens people's eyes re multi fan set ups


http://www.short-media.com/review.php?r=230

sumarised, if you want low temps, multi fan set ups, including blow holes, might not be the way to go about it

i for one would love it if silenx fans could be tested in detail here, thinking about getting one for an XP120 to replace my zalman so i can overclock higher quietly

anyone got one of these fitted to an abit IC7-G mb yet?

checked the local pc shop today, tried the aopen multi-media-internet k/b, i was pretty impressed it's very quiet, and not the least affordable ... i think i might get this

no problem, its available in australia here http://www.lownoisepc.com/ in the heatsinks chipsets etc section, the guy who runs this site also is a user at spcr forums, they retail for $40 australian dollars, goodluck and i'm certain it will help lower your temps :) oh, and it's model number is ATI s...

yep, i tried search, tried keyboard and got to 4th page without finding much, tried quiet keyboard got to the 5th page found your link ralf to the quiet keyboard thread looks like it might be a bit limiting as we in australia don't have the same product range as you guys in the us/uk, but still i'll...

as the subject says atm i have a labtec keyboard, which works no problem, but is a little on the noisy side ie the key strokes can anyone suggest a quiet keyboard, not something like you'd see in a court room, just a main-stream manufacturer that makes a low noise type keyboard preferably with multi...

Thanks dddp, I think what you say about an external exsausts vga cooler is true: better temps in case, better temps on CPU and, I suppose, better temps for PSU; I am sure this one means less noise. But I red about artic cooling silencer and it did non fit on 9800xt! check this out, i think there's ...

Well anyway, good luck.

Still try Sandra, as it is useful for much more than just accurate CPU readings.

you'd be welcome to join, there's lots of good info to be found there

So there isn't a temperature reading device under the CPU? all i can say is see here http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?s=&threadid=295191 and here specially about abit cpu temp readings, about a 1/4 way down the page http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?s=&threadid=218615...

it's really big, and the 12cm fan mounting option is awesome, but 12ch fans work best on caseflow rather than component cooling. They just don't move the air needed, and if they do, it's over a wider range (i.e. not specific enough). I don't know though, it might have uses, but i think when reviews...

yes i've heard the same, check here for more info mate http://forum.abit-usa.com/

thats a cpu cooler too, might be a nice quiet effective unit as well with the right fan

Review at Short-Media

Enjoy.

that review has some dodgy mb compatibilty results, put more faith in what Thermalright's web page says

no matter what software you use, they all use the same source of infomation

yes i've also read where the temp reading is actually a calculated result in abit boards

check for a bios update that may solve the problem for you

i hope i don't have the same problem with my new IC7-G is all i can say

yes i've heard the same, check here for more info mate http://forum.abit-usa.com/

With my P4-3200 and Zalman 7000AlCu@1800 rpm I have 52C idle and 69C on load (MOBO report) That sounds high to me. I've a plain IC7 with the latest BIOS running a 2.4C at 3.0 and 1.575V. Speedfan keeps the 7000AlCu at 1400 RPM under load and reports 60C CPU and 30C mobo in a 20C room. Do you have a...

hi i'd just like to ask a question, in the review it states the xp-120 heatsink won't fit an abit IC7-G max2 mb because of nb hsf on one side and capacitors on the other ..... isn't the IC7-G max2 the same as the IC7-G? looking at this picture which shows the xp-120 heatsink mounted on a IC7, latest...

BTW their was no way the zalman was going to fit on the MB with the zalman northbridge cooler. I would have had to cut like 80% of the fins off it to shorten the height of it.... saw your post about this on the abit forums, so you actually got the 7000 al-cu and the gold zalman nb heatsink and coul...

a thing maybe a lot of people overlook is the combined weight of the sink and a fan
at their website the sink weighs 370g and their fan weighs another 270g, making it 640 total ..... the total weight's pretty heavy to be hanging off the standard 478 retainer i'd think

Although sidewindercomputers.com is cheaper than svc.com, they will force you to buy a 120mm fan with XP-120. :? according to thermalright's web site, " Stock Fan Maker: Panaflo (Panasonic) Model: FBA12G12L1A Size: 120 x 120x 38 (mm) Bearing: Hydro Wave Voltage: 12V Speed: 1700 rpm Air Flow: 68.9 C...

also it comes with double sided tape so's you can stick it on your case

time for an upgrade and i'm thinking of going for the latest abit http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php?pMODEL_NAME=AA8-DuraMAX&fMTYPE=LGA775&pPRODINFO=Specifications anyone know if this is a quiet HSF setup, the OATES Aeroflow setup? some very sketchy details here, click...

i think you'll get better performance and results if you position the fan so that it blows from the rear of the case towards the front, this way the air that has blown over the card will go upwards inside your case and get sucked out by your exhaust fan(s) at the top of your case

negative pressure = dust getting sucked in positive pressure = dust getting blown in the solution is having less dust in the environment and as i do with my sonata case which can be done with all other cases too, the holes at the top of the side covers (if you don't have them, drill some) only need ...

like cob i've been running an 80mm fan at around 1400rpm for 4 mths now without any problems at all, runs much cooler than the stock fan and much quieter, silent really to all intents and purposes

yep, i've done this, but with an 80mm fan controlled by a fanmate on minimum speed with the 92mm fan you'll find theres a large dead spot with no airflow, make sure you don't position the fan centrally above the stock heat sink cause the core won't get much airflow if you do i mounted my 80mm fan at...

You should look into some small modification of the air intake on the Sonata yes, and do this before you do anything else, take the front cover off and cut away a lot of restricting plastic, also place spacers under the case to let more air into the air filter inlet, a cheap and easy thing to do, m...
