at stock speeds, my xp-m 2600 can sit at 1.3v comfortable.

not to mention they have the new xp-m 2400 that is rated for 1.35v, so who knows...it might be able to sit stock at 1.1!

these chips don't need a bunch, i'm at 240x10.5 at 1.75v

it's hard to slow things down when you buy things to make them go fast =) i can run 240x10.5 at a vcore of 1.775, so it's not blazing hot. The fans are running pretty slow, just enough to get enough air moving on the parts needed. The 2x512 mushkin's at 3.3vdimm get pretty warm if you don't have som...

I bet you can get that system to run only with 1 120fan, try removing the botom one and one of the fans on the radiator also, you would have only 1 fan blowing air out of the case through the radiator. ;) leave the opening on the bottom i'm massively overclocking my machine, so i need to have all t...

throw rubber bands around it, and make it hang, so it makes no contact with anything solid. NOTHING else will help dramatically. I have mine mounted inside my lian li pc-75 above my power supply.

mounted the pump above the powersupply with rubber washers, and then used some soft rubber weatherstripping and squished it. Took out about 95% of the vibrations of the pump. the 2 120's sucking out, and the 1 120 blowing directly up works PERFECT! ram is cool to touch, vid card ramsinks are even ge...

i went and picked up a ton of rubber washers for all the fans also picked up some indoor weatherstiping. 1/4 inch rubber with glue on each side, will work good for setting the pump, and possible squishing it between the HD's and cage...just make sure to keep the 1 side's tape on so it doesn't stick ...

i'm looking for a temp + fan controller in 1. It'd look a bit cleaner for the "look" i'm going for. Guess i have like 4 extra 5 1/4's..might as well have a fan controller and a seperate temp guage.

good luck

take the ideas to machine shops around your area.....see if they are capable of such a quest.

i lookedinto it. I have tons of welding experience behind me...but it's not worth it. Could spend 80$ on a pre-built case and mod the piss out of it to make it almost perfect.

Graphite : The AcoustiPac and silent drive enclosures together added about 7.5 lbs (roughly 3.5Kg) extra weight. That doesn't seem like that much, but since the standard computer weighs in around 25 lbs, (11Kg), this dampening increased the weight by a full one/third. Add that to the fact the Sonat...

how much extra does that thing weigh with all the noise reduction material and silicon? lol

not a joke...i'm seriously wondering. No need to weigh it on scale...is it a bunch heavier than "stock" with everything in it.

great job btw
