i'm running the mcp350 with XSPC RX120 and 240 rads. The only noise I'm hearing (I think) is some wind noise thru the rads (both push) and my harddrives. The fans are noiseblocker 1200rpm rans running at 7V and 5 V. I have the pump mounted on Petra's gel stuff with an XSPC res top and if it was maki...

I ended up trying to Noise Blocker S2. They were pricey but seem to pretty quiet, not silent. They're rated at 19dbA with 51CFM @ 12V ~1250rpm, I think they're doing a pretty good job. Now I've got a new question, right now I have my XSPC RX240 Rad mounted on the top-outside of the case with the fan...

@asulc: hey, I was browsing some other forums and I thought this might help you would with your planning and fitment for you stuff http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1033258157&postcount=591 http://www.xtremesystems.org/Forums/showpost.php?p=3704310&postcount=590 http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums...

The rig in question is in the sig. I'll be using RX120 + RX240 XSPC rads. According to skinee labs review, I should be able to dissipate 300W of heat (enough for my gtx and i7 920) in a 1 fan-push configuration at around 800rpms. I'm looking for 2 fans to push heat out of a top mounted 240 rad, and ...

Well I got the GPU loop up and running yesterday. GPU is idles around 37C as opposed to the 45 it was on the stock cooler. System temp and CPU temps went up a few degrees, which is understandable because the intake now has a rad heating up incoming air. Asulc, if you're going to be doing WC in that ...

1) I think you'd be better off with the Thermalright HR-01 with a 120mm pushing out of the case and a dedicated loop for those GTX 285s. 2) With 3x1000RPM fans, I think you should be within in the range of fairly quiet... silent not really, but pretty close. Considering if it's only a GPU loop, you ...

pulled the trigger on the new Swiftech RX120 supposedly optimized for lowspeed fans. You may want to look at their other 240 and 360 if you want to keep everything quiet and cool all those hot components. I'll let you know how it goes in a week or so when I get everything together. The gtx 285 has a...

Any idea what it may be at load? I believe the GTX should be fine up to 100C (not that anyone would want it there). Can I do this quietly and safely without ruining a new graphics card? Currently the highest I've seen my GPU temp was at 80C playing CoD:WaW (max settings at 1900x1200). That temp was ...

@elpibe10: Do you know/think it's possible to cool a GTX285 (eVGA SC) with one 120mm Feser using two fans in push/pull(ie Noctua or Scythe low RPM)? @Asulc: Nice choice of components. I have the same CPU and GPU (SC) and I'm trying to find a way to water cool everything quietly in my Lian Li PC-60FW...

hey i've been out of the scene for a while but that's a nice setup. about the motherboard, why get an ati board and use a nvidia graphics card, wouldnt that just be inconvient because of compatibility issues? the OCZ ram is definately a good choice. my personal advice for the harddrives would be to ...

hey all so, i've been thinking. it's about that time to start upgrading. currently i'm running amd64 3200+ (754 socket) with the zalman CNPS 7000 msi k8t neo mobo ATI 9800xt with the zalman dual pipe on it. (mmm big blue vga sandwhich) housed in an Antec Sonata, with the default power suppply it cam...

I've been really liking the looks of the lian li cases lately. and my sonata is scratched up, heavy, and boring. i think it's just time for a change of scenary as well. I plan to mod the lian-li because i want a fun project.

well i've decided my antec sonata isn't cutting it anymore. i'm looking for a very simple aluminum case, no door, with atleast two 120mm fans (front and rear), nothing big something relatively small, with a removable back panel or atleast motherboard tray. i've been looking at the lian-li PC70B and ...

hmm i guess i'll check out the new 7000B. the raptors i can't really do anything about because that would mean I would have to cut out the hard drive rack in my case.... too much work and i like the rack anyway. I have teh Arctic silencer rev3.... it was louder than the 5v Zalman. It almost the same...

hey I've been really happy with my setup until recently. My Zalman CNPS7000A Cu makes a very fast clicking noise. It's very audible outside of the case; you would have to strain to hear it at night with everything else off. But the fact that I know it's producing noise bothers me. It's audible if yo...

what're some examples of low pressure drop waterblocks? i was looking at the swiftech because of the price and reviews. i've heard that dangerden are decent but others are better. come to think of it tho i would like all the blocks in my systme to be of the same kind of metal. hmmm any suggetsions o...

hey, sorry to beat a dead horse, but.... I'm thinking about water cooling in my Sonata. I know it can be done, but I have a few little things i need to ask. I'm thinking right now of what components to use. So far I'm 100% i want the 1048 ehiem pump seeing as how everyone has recommended it as the q...

hey on a side note. do you think the vantec would be good enough to keep an ATI 9600XT AIW cool? I'm trying to find a cooler solution for my girlfriends sb61g2v3.

What's a good way to keep an AIW 9600XT quiet in a shuttle? As for the shuttle it was JUST setup. I'm thinking of changing the ICE fan to a variable panaflo or papst. Beyond that, what should I do about the AIW 9600XT?

update: well i got my samsung 710T. I haven't noticed ANY ghosting or anything, i've ran Farcry, Halo, Warcraft, Dvd's. No ghosting what so ever. The monitor has 12ms response time, dual dvi input, 600:1 contrast ratio, and some other features. It's great. I've hooked up a dual display right now wit...

has anyone heard or gone searching for information on the newer vga silencers? I've been trying but google isn't getting me too far. Anyone have any other sources? I'm really interested in the new designs... and I dying I WANT ONE NOW... anyone have any information?

i think you're going to have to wait for the Zalman ZM80D, the dual heat piped version that comes with ramsinks. I'm not postive on this, but you might as well wait for that instead of putting the old ZM80C on your brand spanking new x800. There's also the option of the Arctic Cooling Silencer (wait...

if it's any help, i'm planning on buying the Samsun 710T. It's a 17" lcd with 12ms response time. It will hopefulyl be realeased this summer. It's similar to the 172x, but this has a few different features. check it out at their website.

hey ed, do you think the noise of the vga silencer on high or low is worth it? i'm debating whether or not to put on mine. I have a Zalman ZM80C, but it's raising up the case temps alot. Not enough to cause a crash, but I dont like it. Have you seen the pictures for the upcoming vga Silencers? Hopef...

the ICEQ II is the newer versions of the arctic cooling silencer. http://www.ati-news.de/Bilder/Cebit/2004/His/7.jpg look familiar? ati-news had an article abou it a while ago. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.ati-news.de/HTML/Berichte/CeBit/CeBit04/CeBit04-Seite1.shtml...

kloppe - looking at that thing almost made me sick... seriously... it just looked like something died and decayed. wtf

Is the Arctic VGA Silencer Rev. 3 strong enough to keep an ATI Radeon 9800XT cool on low setting? I have one sitting next to me and I'm not sure whether to install it or not. I currently have the Zalman ZM80-C on my card, but my case temp rose because of that. I don't like the amount of noise the VG...

so how does the the vga silencer's fan on high rate in terms of quiet on an SPCR scale?

bump

i dont mean to thread jack, but also how loud is the fan on high? I'm thinking about putting one of these one my 9800xt, but I hear that it needs to be kept on high. Would this be a good silent solution? I want to keep it on high if that's what's necessary and I dont want to have to reach behind the...
