Well PC is all setup - VERY happy with this case and PSU. Very quiet, its silent from where I sit with the PC on the floor beside the desk so extremely pleased. Forgot to take piccies while I was setting it up, so will take some piccies this week sometime and post in the General Galley. Thanks for t...

Awesome. Thanks guys.

Will have this setup tomorrow and might try to take some piccies in the process.

Hi everyone, I've been a member here for ages and been reading these forums for a long time, but haven't started silencing my PC yet. - well... I'm about to. The first thing I'm going to do is get a P150 case, just concerned at exactly how silent is silent when it comes to the PSU? I was going to bu...

Greetings fellow SPCR Folders, I have sent PM to a few of you who were folding at one point in time -- but are no longer active. Some have heeded the call; and here's a list of all those who should start folding again right away!! On one machine or ten -- we need your contributions! In the order of...

I’ve got the Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP (s754 version) with an Athlon 64 3200+ and Cool’n’quiet works perfectly if you wanted to add it to your recommended Cool’n’Quiet motherboards list. There is a BIOS switch for it in the F1 BIOS (or at least the F1 BIOS on Gigabyte’s website is the one that says it add...

-The front ventilation looks quite poor. Opening up the vents may be needed. -The PSU has a small, undoubtedly noisy 40mm fan with a crappy grill in front of it. -The CPU cooling fan is another 60mm job, it's probably loud too. -That little fan on the external CPU heatsink tunnel is yet another sou...

Hey guys, One of my mates has a DigiDice and he's getting annoyed with how load the fans are. We were thinking of taking out the rear 60mm fan it currently has, cutting out the grill on the back and putting an external 80mm fan onto it to suck the air out of the case. Anyone done anything similar to...

I'm quite lucky. Last week I bought an Athlon 64 3200+, Gigabyte K8NSNXP and 2GB RAM. The 2GB is REALLY nice when gaming! But I would CERTAINLY recommend 1GB over 512MB. You'll find 1GB of standard PC3200 RAM is easily better than 512MB Performance RAM. Especially with the A64's as the on-die memory...

Well you've gone and caught me already! Didn't take you very long, although you are producing twice as fast as me!

Haha. Judging by your ppw... I haven't got a chance!! I'll have to find some other PC's to borg I think!!

Let me find another PC or two, and then I'll race!

Haha! Love your work! This is the sort of thing SPCR need more of!

hey everyone,
Is anyone else having issues uploading to servers:
171.64.122.119 and
171.67.89.151 ??

On the Folding@Home server status page their DL status box is in yellow.

Any ideas? I've got 2 WU's waiting to be uploaded!

I think this is a good idea. There're quite a few people that probably want know know how to do it!

Ahhh... my job here is done! haha

Yes, that's a mate that I've introduced to the world of folding!

>It looks good but how well does it crunch numbers? so far between 600 and 700 PPW for each blade. And this is with stock settings.

Let's see, toonz is up 7 today to #245.

Well as some of you know I'm a relative newbie to this Folding thing... but the bug must've bitten me hard! I've had my Silent Athlon1800+ running pretty much 24/7 for a week or so, and now, I've got my Windows server (Athlon 750MHz) running 24/7, and Mum's PC running with sherduled task on idle (P4...

Well guys, I'm fairly new here and only have an Athlon 1800+, but I'm willing to put some spare cycles towards this.

Just posted this in another thread too, but have a look at my thread http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=12071 . Use the stock Leadtek heatsink, just take it off, replace the thermal paste with AS5, and use bolts instead of the platic push pins and you should be able to run just fine wi...

If you saw my thread earlier, I've got a Leadtek Ti4400 passively cooled with the stock heatsick!

I'm thinking of modding the PSU with 2 Arctic Cooling TC fans. I'm not too concerned about the reduction in exhaust fans, I've got the BQE case with a 120mm fan at the back. I've noticed that not much air at all comes out of it, because I've got more exhaust than intake, as soon as I take the side o...

I didn't use the Zalman heatsink, just the stock Leadtek Ti4400 one, which is the wrap-around heatsink anyway. The stock heatsink does actually contact with the ram too. The stock heatsink still gets VERY hot to the touch, but since I've done that and bought the Antec SLK3700BQE with 120mm fans, I f...

Hey everyone, Well I used to get artefacts when playing any games at all, so last night I took the plunge and pulled my heatsink off my graphics card. Ended up replacing the thermal paste with Arctic Silver 5, and the push pins holding the heatsink on with 2 bolts. Now I can do anything I want with ...

Hey everyone,

I'm new to this whole silent PC thing, and bought a Thermaltake 480W Butterfly PSU.

Now I do find this PSU fairly quiet, the only noise I can hear from it is the air flow through the vents at the back of the PSU. Is there anything I can do to try and stop this noise?
