If you wouldn't mind answering a question for me please -

you don't need to have rpm monitoring fans to use the T-Bal?

I have read the above post but just wanted to clarify.

Thanks.

I have used the paperclip method to drain the power supply when modding psu's.

After my first mod (modded an FSP 300 using Edward Ng's guide and help via email) I was surprised it still worked. I thought I had blown something inside.

I don't have a SS460 so can't comment on the noise, however I do remember reading somewhere that it's possible to remove the 'warranty void if removed' sticker with a hairdryer? You could try the swap and see if it is any better. A short while ago I was desperate to get hold of a SS but in the end s...

I have ordered from Silencio on a couple of occasions. I thought someone was selling the Nexus fans at that price (9 Euros)

Thank you both for letting me know.

Which German retailer is that if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks.

What is the spec of the PC you're getting and how much have they quoted you?

Just want to know if it does really work out cheaper.

Thanks.

The Tornado 400 Rev 2 (fan doesn't ramp up) is louder than other components in my system. The fan in the psu is a D12SM and runs around 900-970 on startup. Other fans in my system are 1 x D12SM-12 LED fan around 5v 1 x D12SL-12 around 5v 1 x Panaflo around 5v Other noise making components one Barrac...

I have ordered the same PSU as Aleksi and i will see how loud it is and maybe do a similar fan swap. Good reading for me. :D I did the same mod as Edward Ng on the same psu as you. Edward was very helpful (I emailed him as was shy of posting at SPCR at the time). Have you seen Edward's article? Rec...

Sorry for hijacking the thread. Thanks, but I really want at least the ATX to be sleeved... Seasonic SS400 cables will easily reach even the "worst-case-scenario" mobo headers, but cables aren't sleeved... Ralf, Is that the Super Silencer (retail) or the oem SS-400XX (I think they have different cab...

With regards the mounts - I did mount a motherboard directly to them and the computer did work. Case now passed to someone else and does work as far as I am aware. The audio cables in the case were connected to the back of the motherboard audio ports. One of the blanking plates had a hole in it whic...

You might want to check kustompcs.co.uk for the P180. It may be the cheapest price (pre order last time I checked).

Do a search for "nexus AND breeze" (without the quotes) in the forum search. I think someone has tried the case.

I have a couple of SilenX 120mm 14dba fans. Haven't put the published specs to test but what I can tell you is IMHO they are louder than 14dba. I have a Aerocool Turbine 120mm fan which is rated at just under 20dba. The Aerocool is quieter than the SilenX fans. I sought advice from a couple of peopl...

I have one of the TruePower 430 power supplies - purchased in 2002 I think. It isn't in a case at the moment just on the floor powering a ghetto setup - Athlon 1400, Gigabyte motherboard, no case fans ( :D ), 20GB HD, graphics card. Purchased a BlueStorm 350 for a relative which is now powering his ...

Kind of a thread resurrection. HaloJones, what other fan have you got in the system that is louder than the X-Pro fan? The X-Pro 460 was on sale at a computer fair today at the bargain (compared to other stores) price of £25. I have modded a Fortron 350 (with speed control on back) with a Yate Loon ...

Oooooooops. Just seen the double post. Er em slow computer/web. [Admin -- all fixed!]

Thank you for the advice. May have to try the swap.

The blown air is sprayed outwards from the fan blades and not forwards from the fan which would create a massive dead spot if you tried to blow it towards something :|. It's much more suited to a case airflow position or sucking from a heatsink. ckolivas, you have more or less said it in the above ...

Need a bit of advice please I want to swap the fan from a Forton 350-60PN(PF) psu and am not sure which would be better 1. Aerocool Turbine fan - around 37cfm 2. Yate Loon M speed fan Not sure how much power is consumed - my system has the following components XP 2400+ Seagate Barracuda - 40GB and 8...

Thanks for the reply Ralph. I was comparing the weight of the Samurai and Kamakaze to the SLK900 and the AMD recommended weight so thought they were heavy. The Samurai (after your review) was top of the list but I fall into the "inexperienced system builders" category and had second thoughts. May ha...

Thanks for the reply - I am not sure if the 8055 is available in the UK.

Hi everyone I am looking to buy a heatsink and put the fan on suck so I can duct it to the rear exhaust. Would like low temps with low noise (doesn't everyone?). I have an XP2400 processor. Some of the heatsinks I know about Scythe Kamakaze - worried about the weight Scythe Samurai - again the weigh...

Hi everyone Just a quick question to SPCR forums members in the UK - what are you using as a dust filter for the intake fan? I have read Bluefronts posts - a) can't find the 3m Filtrete in the UK b) can't seem to find a pleated paper filter c) don't want a big hole in the bottom of the case to use a...
