Re: E8400(E3110) vs Q9300 vs Q9450 Power Consumption, Temps,

This is a keeper for me for sure and which i would recommend to any HTPC/Quiet-PC enthusiast who needs the power, without all the thermals (and associated noise with it). Do you do any postprocessing, since you prefer the quad core over the dual core? And if so how do the processor usage/percentage...

Aluprofiles and "spikes"

My first attempt on this topic was using L-shaped aluminum brackets with drilled holes for hanging in a selfmade cage in elastic ribbons. After getting a 250 gb Samsung spinpoint I tried to place it, with the L-profiles on the bottom foam pad. It was very silent (and cool) but vibrated a bit, I thou...

Thanks very much Yeah; at first I spend a lot of time with elastics and making ducts out of solid pvc - but simpler solutions seems to work just as good. I made the "spikes" to get a bit more air under the hd and in an attempt to limiting vibrations in the hd itself. The "duct" from the Cpu/heat sin...

The Sharkoon HPS1 and Cooler Master Pipe Tower 7 look very similar. Are they the same heatsink? I wonder whether they're good enough for passive cooling. Yes, they seem very much alike.

Thanks for the info.

Its good to see manufactureres starting to make dual 80mm psu´s, which i think are better for modding/ducting than the 120mm´s.

15A/+12V enough for P4C [email protected]?

I´m thinking about buing an Aopen FSP400-60PFN, because it will be easier to noisedampen in a frontairintakeduct than my current Antec Tp 480.

Looks very interesting, if You are into the uprigtht-standing (as opposed to the thermalrights) heatpipe coolers. I will have to wait for an assembly instruction to see which way it will be fitted on my Abit Ic7-G (want to blow the air out of the case, not into the psu).
