^I'm not so sure it is fanless.

In fact I don't even see dual dvi on this card anywhere.

Here's a dual-DVI 6600, 256MB card with passive cooling (for just $135 shipped):



I have used the XFX 6600GT card with a Zalman VF700 Al/Cu, and it was very cool and very quiet.

I believe newegg no longer sells this product.

Good question. MAny of us are holding our breath on this one. Someone not lazy should email them before we pass out. :p

They are also generally much noisier. . .

Could you please verify this with some empirical data? I'm thinking about getting a slim dvd burner for my next rig.

The whine of my full-size lite-on burner when it preps to burn or read is hideous, and it's only a 52x32x52x CD-RW.

From what I've read on these forums it seems that the Raptor is a beast that cannot be tamed by those for whom quietness is a priority. People have tried evertying, have they not? ...Enclosures, suspension, even stranger custom gizmos, prayer to the dark voodoo gods, etc... It's a shame no one has c...

WDs are in the running for top silent 7200 rpm drive?

What kind of bizarro world have I entered? Have I really been out of the loop so long? Is there a crack epidemic hitting the streets?

Well now I've just gotta figure out on to do what you did with this thing. So far I've made an outline of a box, it appears.

I end up with numerous electronic devices near my current puter, and this is a pattern of placing I'll likely continue if I go ahead with my custom case. Things like my digicam with compact flash, cell, etc. Frankly I 'm not even sure EMI could damage these devices or bork sensitive data, but if the...

Gorsnak- what software are you using to make those diagrams? If it's MSpaint, i'm gonna be embarrased.

Looking forward to the write-up as well

Case materials could be aluminum, Cu, or wood. I can't say which alloys or types of wood. Any way to do this?

Ralf, did you use anything to 5v your 120mm fans or did you just switch teh wires?

Gotta agree with Hammer here, I said how much was the foam, and I meant the egg crate stuff, I won't call pax.mate foam, even thought it\ is ... but how you were you to know? Anyways, I assume the kind of eggcrate foam to get will depend on what I want to use in conjuction with it. The Akasa Paxmate...

Where'd you got the foam and how much did ya pay?

'Thinking bout dampening/absorbing materials for my case that are pretty much near dirt cheap.

Even though I've never watercooled, I feel your pain wumpus. It's like you've got this awesome technology on the surface that does everything; cool, quiet, and with the all important geek-factor; there is that one nagging flaw that drives you nuts that always remains. Grrr. If it's not up to your st...

I'm going to try to slit the two-pin female in half and attach each new pin to the corresonding holes on the 3-pin. Going to probably try something that will saw it in half, instead of cutting it. This is going to be hard.

Thanks for the tips! Live and learn, I guess. In any case, I've got the bondo and the jbweld out, so I think I'll be alright. Not that I've used them before; I'll just take my time to get it right go around. When I'm ready to drill again I think I'll both lay down a piece of tape then use a nail to ...

In my SLK3700AMB I drilled holes for mounting fans with verax/direction sticks in between the original holes of the plastic mounting clip. Long story short, I messed up, drilling them way off center, one even being so close to one of the original holes that it almost unites with it to form one large...

Search not going well, in google either. Anyone decent enough to link me to a good rewiring dicussion for mini-mini molex?

Ah. I assumed, wrongly it seems, that a search regarding the fan would net me mostly results on the fan itself, not the connectors. Please forgive me, though, as I am on 28.8 while I'm working on this new build and I did the best I could short of spending 4 hours on the search. I'll look under that ...

Well, this has been up for a few days now. I'll find out for myself soon enough, I guess. Perhaps I posted this in the wrong forum. Mods, could you perhaps move this to the Cases and Damping forum?

The install of my Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer went smoothly... until it came time to connect the female 2-pin fan header to my Asus 9600XTs 3-pin male connecter. Long story short, it won't fit. This is not a matter of me wanting 3 wires for RPM monitoring; the two headers are simply physically incap...

I just order two pair of these for my 120mm exhaust and intake fans. They'll be here in about a week. I'm curious to know, due to time and money constraints, the following things: a) what case you used b) how you mounted the sticks c) what fans you ended up using on them Me, I have an Antec SLK3700A...

What's the difference between SMART temp sensors and regular temp sensors?

HDDTemp is working on my WD1200JB, a drive which has been out for over 2 years now, reporting a cool and collected 26 C.

Isn't it the Silencer that serves more of a function as a 'case fan' than the Tornado? Truth be told I'm not sure how either would really affect my system temps. I'm going to have an SLK7000AMB w/ 120mm fans and grills removed plus a decent HS w/ an 80mm Panaflo. While I'm here, I might as well ment...

No! Not another versus thread! ;) I've read all the review articles, searched the forums, and I think I'm about to go mad. I found two places that sell these Seasonic products for a difference of 1 dollar. I'm talking, of course, about the SuperTornado SS-400FB APFC and the SuperSilencer SS-400AGX A...

Hello from Ars, Ralph. I'd be curious to hear you thoughts on the Fong Kai FK-333 if you'd care to indulge me (and yes, I have read the article here about it). It's big, built like a tank and has excellent ventilation. If you need a big case, I'd say it should work fine, otherwise I'd go with the S...

Thank you for that information, at least up to the point where you saw it fit to thumb your nose condescendingly at my off-coloured remarks. If you must know, I was refering to the chasis and the seemingly erractic placement of the chasis intake holes, not the front bezel. Only the latter is actuall...
