with 8 HDD's, most good PSU's on the list will be silent.

Thank you. This worked.

I have to wonder why on earth it doesn't have a tick box in Speedfan to start up with windows like all other software of this nature does, but at least there is a workaround

does anyone know how to get speedfan to start with windows?

I've had no luck so far, it utterly ruins it!

Might get one of those cables - thanks. Did the mod on my PSU. Put a Gentle Typhoon 1450rpm in place of the ADDA 2100rpm fan. I can finally say that with this mod and the case fans now controlled with speedfan at around 700rpm, the PC is finally down where I've always wanted it to be. It's genuinely...

Discovered with a few tips found in another thread here that my board has two fan headers with support for PWM. I really need three though, but it's better than nothing. Also discovered that by far, the M12 is the one causing the excess noise. I can't justify £120 for a new one, so was wondering if ...

I'm curious now to know what more i could attempt with my system to get the noise down. Any tips on how to best cut the noise from those protruding front/back fans for better results? Start by slowing the fans down further, perhaps using a mobo fan controller -- if it has one. Remove the front fan ...

I'm curious now to know what more i could attempt with my system to get the noise down. Any tips on how to best cut the noise from those protruding front/back fans for better results? Both are 1450rpm Gentle Typhoons using the R3's fan controller at min setting (not actually sure what voltage that b...

I grabbed an R3 several days ago. I'm very happy with the build quality and performance. My only issue was that the HDD cage should come in two parts and be removable/modular with screws. This is because it has limited space for very long GPUs. Currently, there isn't one that won't fit, but the Arct...

Mine came a few days ago and the experience was the opposite. Read a few comments like yours around the net and was worried, but I've been pleasantly surprised by its quality compared to my Lian Li...

difficult to decide... I have a Lian LI A05-NB, which uses very thin aluminium, so i know the R3 or Solo II will beat it in noise levels, but it's still very hard to choose. I'm leaning towards the R3, but i don't know... Anyone want to convince me the Solo II is wroth going for? Noise is key, but i...

let us know how it goes. I'll be picking up a 140mm fan soon and still none the wiser on which one to go for!

So far i think i'm going to go for the Yate Loon

Just wondering if i could just cut the 60mm fan off and remove this fan: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article676-page4.html <-- details are in the review.

It never spins up really and i don't think it's neccesary.

It's bugging me to have it there! Any concerns about doing this?

yeah that fans seems to not perform as good as the 120mm - it was the one holding back the 120mm fan.

Seems there is no disputed king(s) in the 140mm space that is tried and tested, shame

they say the Fractal fan is 9db(a)? I just don't buy that... but it might fit the bill, it should be reasonably quiet.

The Lian Li fans in my case are poor imo, so i won't be buying one of those.

Any more options out there?

In the USA, you can get one here: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/ ... s_id=27186

What are the best choices available when it comes to 140mm fans?

My little Lian Li A05NB gets too hot, so I'm going to order the top panel with 140mm fan opening, but don't know which fan to go for. The 120mm fans in the case will probably be Nexus real silent case fans.

thanks!

cheers tay, called my bank and it may stay in the system like this for 4 days so it might not be kims fault that it looks like the money is going out. Anyhow, i'm going to edit the posts as i don't want to give bad publicity over this when everyone buy me seems to be able to order from him without t...

yeah, there were more emails between us but it wasn't really argumentitive, not really sure what the problem is :? I asked if they were Yate Loons, he didn't answer in the next 5 emails between us and i pretty much said fair enough, i'll risk it anyway and went ahead and ordered. Anyhow, i'm in the ...

Well i dunno what has happened but i tried to email the owner of tekgems and after trying to get an answer on whether or not these fans were Yate Loons, he evaded an answer over and over and couldn't even confirm that they had d12sl-12's written on them or that the ones he was selling are the ones i...

can someone who got the orange 120's confirm they are the yate loons we all want?

same here, just order 10 Yate Loon D12SL-12's, at least i hope they turn up as Yate Loons.

I was really impressed to read about this pump..........until i saw it was 3/8...boo hoo hooo will i ever find the perfect pump?

i'm awaiting th results from people too and i'm pretty interested in the 8020m's too , might end up buying 20 fans, dunno what i'll do with them all

those iwakis wouldn't have been quiet enough for most people who visit a forum called silentpcreview :lol: . They are high quality and quiet for what they can do but i don't think they will compete with a little eheim 1048 for noise so the fact that you didn't win that auction may bea blessing in di...

i have heard in the past my lrww make wooshing water noises when i had 0 fans on. But in general you won't hear it and i only noticed it because the side panel was off and i was tinkering with fan placement with my ear almost in the case. Seriously, this will not be a problem for anyone, no matter h...

Looks really nice, what a good idea. What's the spec of your rig to get that 41c load temp passively?

Watercooling is of course for people who want to sqeeze the most from there system without much noise. For example, people who get fed up with noise on every one of there systems but won't give up high end performance on say, there gaming rig. I like to overclock my workstation because i need every ...

hows about the silverstone TJ05?

http://www.silverstonetek.com/products-tj05.htm

You must go for watercooling and run most of it outside the case. It's the only option really, believe me, i know. I've spent a lot of money on going the air cooling route and you'll be dissapointed, on a performance rig, that is. Your best option is to go for an eheim 1250 running outside your case...

Hi, I like the idea of finding a water cooled setup after failing in my attempt to setup the ultimate air cooling/low noise setup with decent temps :cry: Then it dawned on me, how noisy are the two mainstream phase change units? - the Prometia Mach II and the Vapochill PE/XE? Vapochill do a "barebon...
