I've had mine since april 2005. It was a bit expensive, but I've never regretted the hole in my wallet. :D It's been stable as a rock. It gets cooled by slow flowing exhaust air that is heated by the rest of the system. It gets warm to the touch, but never hot. I haven't measured, but it stays below...

I've used one of these for about 2 months now, and I must say that I'm really pleased with it. It is dead silent. I can't hear it even if my ear touches the surface. I've not had any stability issues with the PSU. About the wattage: My system (see sig) draws maximum 100W AC, and normally 60-80W (cur...

Got the parts the other day after a long delay. My vendor had some serious problems getting ZM47J in stock. I did some changes to my initial part list. Check system spec in my signature below. I must say that so far I'm extremely pleased. After setting up MB with CPU, memory and heatsinks on a table...

Dago, could you please tell us what's in your HTPC? I'm in the process of selecting parts for my own HTPC, and find it difficult to know how powerful brick-PSU I need. I've been looking at the power supply sets offered at linitx.com, and wonder why the 110W set is so expensive compared to the other ...

This is just getting better and better. In this posting , mczak tells us that he has modified Linux' Cool'n'Quiet driver to set the vcore 0.2V lower than what is in the BIOS tables. I suppose this means that I can even hard code my own table in the driver, and just ignore the BIOS. This is exactly w...

Ok. Thanks a lot! If I understand Cool'n'Quiet correctly, you effectively loose control over the vcore voltage, as the possible combinations of cpu frequencies and voltages are located in a table in the BIOS (PST?). Still the average power consumtion will be lower, at least for a pc that's mostly id...

The Asus A8V deluxe is listed on the undervoltable motherboards page, but I can't find any other references to this possibility. The MB manual says the selectable values depends on the processor installed, but nothing else. This review says core voltages can be set between 1.4 and 1.8V. I've also se...

Thanks for your answers, burcakb and eidolon. Yes, the fans are to be placed in the duct, and not on the HS. I hope that's the only fans I need. The XP-120 is not much more expensive than the XP-90, and I *might* want to do some overclocking eventually, if the system is silent enough. Here are my re...

Hello everybody. I'm a long time lurker, first time poster from Norway. My current pc is getting rather old, and a lot of work has gone into making it as quiet as possible. Still, I'm not getting it silent enough for my taste. In addition I've filled up all the pci-slots just to be up to date with i...
