Yep, thats what I told at the end of the guide (in spanish) but no pics.

Thanks.

Got a problem with server.

It should work right now.

Hi, I just published a mod in my website about dampen vibrations on Scythe Ninja (and noise reduction without fanframe ala artic freezer). The guide is in spanish but I think that pics are self-explicative. http://www.acusticazero.com/content/view/78/29/ Hope you like it. Any questions, just ask me....

Gekkani

Perhaps you can try to connect VGA fan to a Zalman Fanmate for example, so you'll can control speed and noise according to your tastes.

I just bought an ATI Silencer 3 for my Radeon 9800 xt. It also has a clicking problem. Does everyone have this clicking problem? I bet yes. The Artic Silencer fan is the worst fan I ever seen. Worst than all "el cheapo" fans that we can buy for two bucks in a computer store. Other than the clicking...

Very funny starfish.

I dont understand TomsHardware... According to his test, a P4 3.2 & Geforce 6800 demands 288w Full load . But at the end of the article we can read: "To those of you ready to camp out in front of your store to get your hands on one of these cards - be warned! The first barrier on your way to graphi...

Mmm... I don't understand whats your problem. CPU idle temperature raises up due to a bad PSU ?? 70ºC?? Sorry for not elaborating on what's wrong with the PSU. The reason I said the fan circuitry was at fault is because the PSU fan would stop spinning or slow down to the point that it becomes ineff...

Gekkani

BTW, the Tagan 480 that I installed has begun to exhibit some heat problems. The PC would not start at all periodically and temperatures would shoot up. I suspect that the fan control circuitry is at fault. At times the idle CPU temp of the Pentium 2.4C would reach 70°C! At other times the load tem...

Gekkani

uh? more noise & hum than zalman? Mmm... I have a tagan 380w, seems very quiet to me.

Anyways, check this out:

Not exactly. BeQuiet and Tagan PSUs are based on the new TSP Ultrasilent PSUs... Thats why they all look the same.

Gekkani

I have the same problem

I emailed Tagan at [email protected] 2 weeks ago but NO reply

Gekkani

omh.. sure. I installed VGA silencer into a Sapphire 9600 PRO. I dont know if this mod works for all 9600 PROs. http://tu.auna.es/personal/1/5/viernes6/imagenes/sapphire.jpg The problem with 9600 PRO is the very low position of the GPU, so when u install VGA silencer and go to plug the card into th...

I just installed a Rev.2 on my Sapphire Radeon 9600 PRO with a simple mod. No problems.

The general consensus around here is TT = bling-bling ripoff crap. .

I agree.

70mm fan. Not a standard 80
No cooper, just alu.

Bearing Type : Sleeve / One Ball / Two Ball
Life Time : 25,000 / 40,000 / 50,000 Hours

'Only' 50.000 hours for a double ball bearing fan.... mmm... probably a bad fan.

A cheap cooler from a cheap brand. Not for me.

Saludos

Gekkani

How did you stick that fan to the ZM80?? It looks cool.

Gekkani

Heh, thats funny.

270 gr of CU + ALU to run a P4 passive

Impossible.

By the way.. it looks like a Taisol

Gekkani

The PSU itself do a clicking noise when it gets hot (low airflow). Some electronic component do the click .. dont know why

I'm talking about Fortron rev 1.0

Gekkani

Fortron FSP400-60PFN do a LOUD clicking noise with low airflow..

Some users with Zalman 400 have the same problem and others not... strange.

I have a video of the problem if you want.

Gekkani

I have a P4 and my Sys temp is higher than CPU temp at idle. Perfectly normal. I believe that sys temp refers to the chipset, at least in p4 mobos.

42ºC sys
39ºC cpu

right now..

Gekkani

101W?? Where say that?

Thermal Design Power is 82W

Gekkani

Why Alpha recomends to put the fan in 'suck' mode?

I did some test with my alpha 8942 (shroud on, case open, case closed, with and without case fans...) and it performs better in blow mode than in suck mode (3ºC better) ... so I dont understand why Alpha say that..

Any ideas?

Gekkani

carlitos, what about HD temperatures?

Gekkani

In my experience PFC costs money as well as noise - I hope I have to eat my words at some stage in the future but (on the noise front) I am disillusioned with PFC! But hey, hopefully someone else here can enlighten us how to silence these damn things

What kind of noise do PFC ???

Gekkani

Very Nice duct.

But..mmm... I tried with a home made duct w/ my Alpha 8942 and the duct increase the noise

So I prefer not to use it.

Gekkani

If your card hangs up and you replaced the HS already.... I would say that your card is defective. Try to RMA it.

I get with a Ti4200 10860marks

whats your temp ambient??

37ºC at idle here.
26ºC room ambient

P4 2.53, Alpha 8942 + Papst 8412NGL (1500 rpm), case open, 0 case fans

Truepower here ... Aopen here .. Speed fan here... ... and Fix here :) Into Speedfan go to: Configure -> Advanced -> choose Chip -> Adjust Fan divisor Set divisor to : 8 for example.
