hi I am having an emergency with my Asus P5B Delux Wi-fi based system ... I think the board maybe dead. However I'm getting no BIOS beeps at all & I can't recall whether the P180 has speaker for this (built this system 18 months ago). Can someone enlighten me ? If it hasn't (and the board hasn't eit...

Thanks people After looking at some pictures of the Nexus iStyle case, I can honestly say that it's probably one of the worse cases for airflow. Go buy a cheap Antec 3000B for $40 or something, move everything over, trash the 5.25" bay cooler and get a front fan for your hard drives. I doubt your ha...

hi I am concerned about the temp of a HD on my old P4 3GHz Northwood PC. It runs at 47-56 degrees C. There are 2 other HDs, one running at 40ish max, the other unknown (older drive with no internal temp sensor). All are WD Caviars PATAs with 8MB cache. It's a typically noisy, P4 Northwood system, wi...

hi

Enjoying my new C2D P180B-based system

However, I've noticed that the main noise source is (unsurprisingly) the stock Intel fan.

The 180 cases fans are pretty quiet.

Can anyone recommend a really quiet fan to replace the stock one ?

(preferably a reasonable price)

thanks

Nevermind - I did it by following the short video on this site (but snapped 2 of the tri spokes in the process)

Hopefully I won't need it again anyway......

lol though the fan blades.... on the bottom corners ther are little notches that you can squeeze wires thought.... and what you do to remove the fan is on the tab thats wider than the fan is thick puch on that while pulling on the fan Hmm..not getting very far here. Do you mean the wide tab on the ...

hi

I can see some instructions in the review - a bit unclear & refer to older version of P180 with different fan.

At the moment I've threaded some cables between the fan blades - not exactly ideal !

Can someone give me instructions as to how I remove this fan ?

thanks

hi I am now well underway building my new PC http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36695 The HX psu has it's fan port below (or above, depending on which way you mount it). In the P180, what is the best way to mount it - with fan pointing into narrow gap below or pointing up towards t...

There are no other issues to consider in terms of fitting drives etc. with this case are there ?

I can't see a floppy drive slit - does it have one ?

I'm not sure if you mean quiet or silent. I am also into music recording so I take it you want a dead silent system, meaning no fans. In that case, make sure you have a fanless PSU and make your video card and CPU fanless as well. You can use either large heatsinks via heatpipes or watercool your C...

hi Having recently installed my new x800 xt pe I realise just how noisy my pc is ! I use it predominantly for music production so I'm prepared to spend a bit of cash getting things as quiet as possible. At the moment I have: 3 x WD 8MB cache ide caviars 1 x case fan (papst) 1 x turbo bloody fan on x...

Great, thanks - missed that !

hi I have a P4 3.06 on an Asus P4PE, used as a digital audio workstation. I got a "QuietPC" 450w psu for it a few years back but never been particularly impressed. It not infrequently makes a hell of racket - as though some sort of resonant freq has been hit. Anyway I'm looking for a replacement - p...
