I dont really find the woosh of a fan annoying, its more the high-pitched noises that really bother me, they get into your head and gave me headaches. I suspended my HD, got a new PSU, and got a Zalman for my Radeon and got a nice fan on my HS and Im pretty happy at the moment, its not perfect, but ...

nothing wrong with that... Idles at 40 C are perfect, actually, any idle above 46 C for athlons is fine, so OC a bit if you want, or get a slower fan .

I still dont trust TT

Just to warn people, my fortron looks totally different, not only does my version have an extremely annoying fan, but the heatsinks in my model seem to be of lower quality and in general my fortron doesnt compare with bluefront's, strage...

just to show u how nice this chip is:

id buy it cuz its green! But really, anybody see pix of that guys case! He has a watercooled rig and he STILL has more fans in his computer than me, I mean, these people are crazy! The funny thing is that he has a UT2003 decal on it, while my computer with only 2 fans in the WHOLE thing runs that ga...

I think that all bartons/tbbs should be run at 200 fsb to get max preformance, mine is running at 200x10 (2400xp) at stock voltage (i have an asus, can undervolt...)

~EO

Sounds from the Verve HI-FI.

~EO

A good thing to note is that "blower" fans are extremely inefficient at slow speeds. I had a thermaltake blower on my cpu *vomit* and I had it undervolted to make it barably quiet and my idle for a 2400xp TB B @ 200x10 was 48C idle! I switched the fan to a sanyo petiace and now my temps are down to ...

but they are in the sense of gpu cooling, anyway, im just saying how sony is ahead of its time, with the saturn and the dreamcast...

~EO

Well someone should test them!

~EO

Wow, the dreamcast used heatpipes? Cool, segas consols were always ahead of their time...

~EO

A lot of times, TIMs need a few days to settle down, so that overclocker review doesnt seem that accurate.

~EO

woot, i see stock watercooling in the future!

~EO

Well upgrading to Uber isnt hard... Its worth a shot considering that it will always be working...

~EO

BTW, if you install some Uber Bios availible here:

you can set the ration to a MUCh smaller number, I havent tryed the feature myself because my cpu fan doesnt repost rpm, but it should work...

~EO

I think the minimum rpm for the fan for my asus A7N8X Deluxe is 900 or something, although im not sure...

~EO

I had this problem, Im almost certain it was the case and the psu resonating somehow. anyway, i put some ductape around the places were the psu makes contact with the case and tightened the screws more and my psu hasnt rattled in a while, although im not sure if its perfectly fixed...

~EO

I have a friend that is ALMOST willing to start a site like that...LOL. Imagine the news headings: New 120mm Delta fan! 60db and 200cfm! Sucks 30watts! (a fan with similar specs DOES exist! *shiver*) The forums would be full of discussions like: "I wanted to buy the PCP&C psu because I heard its lo...

ROFL!

~EO

I really like my C cooler, and my card stays pretty cool!

Is this a evercool fan? I might want to pick one up for my fortron...

~EO

some fans just stop reporting rpm when undervolted... one blower fan that i had on my cpu stopped reporting rpm with anything under 12v! Probably something to do with the circuitry of the fan or something... anyway, pix? and could your respond to my post?

~EO

ps: asus q-fan kinda sux

I was wondering if you could post some pictues because im not too clear on how u did the cutting, because my 350 aurora has 4 wires running from it, probably 2 for the fan and 2 for the leds... anyway, just wondering if your psu has the "noise killer" sticker on it, because mine does.

~EO

I had a idea of cutting the black and red wires and connecting them to the 5 V line, would this be possible?

~EO

is there any easy way of diconnecting the stock fan from the temp monitor, would cutting some wires be dangarous?

~EO

plz help us! isnt there a easy way of preventing the PSU fan of speeding up?

~EO

yes, I have EXACLTY the same problem, the fan gets way too loud under any load or just when my temps go up... Because of a undervolted CPU fan, my temps are around 46 C (Athlon 2400xp at 199x10) at the socket and at around this temp, the fan starts getting loud... I opened up the fortron just to see...

Ordered the sanyo, will tell you guys about it when I get it ..
