"Very nice product, aside from the price. I wonder why they chose 1.8" form factor when surely the big market would be 2.5" laptops..." notebook manufacturers would jump on the reduced form factor in a second, and it also solves a lot of ipod failure issues. Of course this is ignoring prices for a m...

I disagree. Here's why: So those pics tell something. What? That there was a lot more low frequency noise in the Noctua recording than in the Nexus. But having just listened to both 1ft/12V recordings, in both, I can hear more low freq noise in the latter part of the recording than in the beginning...

the area filled in on the graph to the left, like in the noctua graph, are bass frequencies. it is of importance as lower frequency sound is harder to attenuate then mid frequencies, and can excite cases panels and case cavity resonances, but conversely, mid range sounds are more annoying to humans ...

Hello Mike, Please take my post as constructive criticism. You wrap up the Noctua with the following: “….The "presence" was noticeable as a change in the background noise when the fan was turned on or off. The change was felt more than heard; it was impossible to put a finger on just what change...

Howdy all, performing a high quality fft on the recording of the nexus fan, file nexus120-1ft, shows blade passing frequency is 132hz, which equates to an rpm of 1131rpm. either rpm measurments are off, or 12volts wasn't measured correctly. the reviews really need to show an fft of the recorded nois...

Howdy guys, I've not seen the silentmaxx psu in real life, but there are a few benefits from such designs. I'm building a HTPC that I want completely silent, I live in the country side where it is that quite if you sit still you can hear the blood in your ears after 10-15 minutes. I have a Antec pha...

I am currently modifying an Enhance ENP-5150GH for water cooling, yes, water cooling the mosfets and diode packs. The enp-5150GH is VERY similar in layout and looks to the ST50EF-Plus The ENP-5150GH uses 60amp diode packs on all three main secondaries, but does not have true split 12v rails, just a ...

There is a pile of wires in the average atx psu loom to radiate noise, running the psu externally "could" cause trouble. As for fanless psu's, running a phantom 500 outside my case has never been a problem, though with everything watercooled the case never warms up. I'm building a HTPC at the moment...

Pizpump, I have looked at the pumps data (though very limited, the carter website is useless). Assuming their maximium pressure of 6psi means that at 6psi there is zero flow, the pump would work, but looks a little expensive. Max flow, at zero head (meaning no restrictions, no pipe on the outlet of ...

Howdy LLiam, had a few small LAN parties with close friends, but nothing much. Won't be taking this system now, probably best to have it at my place! The flow sensor puts out a pulse for every time the impeller tips pass a hall effects sensor. So the frequency of the pulses is 7hz for a flow of one ...

Howdy guys, I'd like to find some freeware or sanely priced software for a toobar scsi temp reporter. I've tried HDD Temperature SCSI, works great, but 50 USD for a license is a bit steep.

Specs mention 80k hrs at 25deg c. Does anyone know if that is 25deg c ambient OR 25deg c internal heatsink temp? If its ambient its fine, but if its 25 deg c heatsink temp, derating puts it's life expectancy a lot lower. Mighty fine psu I must say, in my system at 50% load, p4 3.2ghz, 4 15k scsi's a...
