I've got a Danger Den NV-68 on my Gainward 6800GT GS, no issues at all with it. Drops the temps by 10 degrees over the standard, very noisy, air cooler it comes fitted with. Also cools the ram.

Not exactly cheap mind you...

If you can isolate a Ehiem 1048, you can hardly hear the thing. Mine mounted with rubber bobbins is hardly noticable, I doubt you could hear it if you suspended it.

The Dragon is a good case, plenty of space in there and well made.

I've got no reason at all to get rid of mine.

Nope, there is no overclocking going on in my setup at all. This way I can run the fans really slowly and the cooling performance remains excellent. Also at the moment there would be no advantage to O/Cing the machine. It's a pure games machine and pretty much anything I throw at it at the moment ca...

BlackIcePro2 + 2x Nexus 120 fans. Shockingly effective in my setup and incredubly quiet. I'm running the fans at around 750rpm.

I've just finished watercooling my Mac and PC. Click the sig to check them out.

EDIT: Site currently down... Back soon I hope. All will become clear later depending on the outcome.

CPU: PowerPC G4
CPU block: Zalman ZM-WB2/SLK-947

CPU temp(idle/load): 37/46
GPU card: Radeon 9800pro
GPU block: Zalman ZM-GWB1
GPU speed(core/mem): Stock
GPU temp(idle/load): Dunno, seems stable enough.

Not cheap but damn effective!

The purple one looks so much better in the flesh... Besides, I really like purple and I think you can almost get away with it on this car.

The green one was and always will be snot green. It's important to be seen in little cars you see...

ahem

The Nexus fans are awesome. However 1 of the 3 inside my case has a very audiable click. You'd probably not even notice it but as the PC is so quiet now it needs to get sorted. It's still the best fan noise-wise I've come accross so I've ordered a couple more and will replace it with the quietest one.

You could do a much neater job than I did also as I'd already cut that hole in the case previously when I was air cooling and it's a little scruffy not to mention a little too big really for the rad. Doesn't matter though. Plenty of air gets in and you can't tell as it still looks completely stock f...

trenchdiggerr - Completed the PC today. Click my sig and it'll take you thereabouts.

FWIW, it gets a big thumbs up from me. Cooling performance is stunning (it's my first w/c system) and it's soooooo quiet it's untrue!

The 6800GT I got went easily to Ultra speeds with the NV-68 block on it.

FWIW I've switched from Panaflo's to Nexus fans (80's and 120's) and the Nexus fans are stunningly quiet.

I'm currently putting together a system to cool a P4 3.0 and 6800 GT. The dragon case I'm using easily swallows the BIP2 that I'm using. Though you have to lose the 3 1/2" bays and cut a big hole in the front. Pics and stuff will follow when the system is complete. FWIW I did a lot of reading up on ...

Surely only Superman would need to run?

From the Zalman Resorator summary

but it's about the best cooling device for silent comuting

Actually riding naked on a bicycle is probably better for that.

I've got the 17" Hitachi and it's a belter for gaming. For the best results use the DVI input if you can, force v-sync for everything and run at it's native resolution wherever possible.

I may have gone through a box or three of the stuff...

I've done quite a few mods to both. The PC is particularly silly now.

Probably going to watercool it next but this will do for now.

I've got an earlier 2MB cache P80 ATA and a later 8MB cache P80 SATA. The later drive is a little quieter. But to be fair, there is little in it. 'Soft mounted' in the bottom of the case they are *very* quiet. I can't hear the SATA seeking at all at my desk.

Infact since then I've installed MBM5 because I thought the MSI utility wasn't telling me everything. Well it seems my CPU temperatures have risen somewhat since fitting the 3.0! Peaks during gaming at 60C!! the reason I thought it was lower was that it drops off so quickly after exiting the game th...

I had the same issue. I got around it by using a Zalman bracket and 92mm fan. This way you can mount the fan the same way that the later ZM-80's do and cool both heatsinks.

Good stuff then. The Marmite reference is, errm, difficult to explain... :oops: Nothing pervy, it's to do with me being a reasonably large bloke and trying to fit in a single seater formula Vauxhall Lotus. Someone commented on the day that I'd have to be stripped naked and lubed up with Marmite to g...

Well I think the sensor on the NorthBridge might be a bit flakey given what it's coming out with but here they are: Cold temperatures were just after power on, idle were take after letting the system settle and load were after running the ATi Caves demo for a good while Cold CPU - 30 System - 26 NB ...

I've become obsessed (read that as: borderline fanatical) with making my machines ever quieter and stumbled across this site when trying to find a UK supplier of 120mm Panaflow L1A's. What a top place! I've lurked for about a week now reading the forums and what not. So I thought it was about time I...
