I don't remember how long I've owned my Silverstone but it's run silent and reliable all the time. Recently a strange problem has occurred though. When I turn my computer on it lights up for a second and then dies. Even the leds on the PSU goes black, but if I switch it off for a few seconds it work...

A notebook drive works fine if you're not using streaming samples and not to many audio tracks. And since it's a bedroom studio I guess you won't bring a rock band with a drum kit in there. :-) But if you are going to use big streaming sample libraries or multi-track recording with lots of tracks an...

I wouldn't call it noisy but me too wonder how anyone could call it silent. I've bought lots of fans and PSU's that are said to be silent but never been satisfied. Until now. :) I have blocked the upper fan hole and replaced the other two with soft mounted Nexus fans at 5v. I still can hear it even ...

3.3v too high?
I have a Nexus 3500 PSU and yesterday the ASUS POST reporter started to speak in Windows "CPU test failed" or something like that. Everything seems to work but it's anoying to hear that warning all the time. I checked Hardware Monitor in BIOS and it shows my 3.3v beeing around 3.70v and all the volt...

80x15 mm fans?
Are there silent 80x15 mm fans? How do they compare to 80x25 fans? I'm thinking of replacing the psu fan and suspend the fan but there is no room unless I use a thinner one.

I found some cheap Arctic fans here in Sweden for 49 sek, about $6 I think. It's the non-pro model but next to the Nexus fans it's the best I've tried. Since it has a built-in thermistor(?), a fan controller is of no use. But you can remove it (and connect the wires) if you want to be able to contro...

Vibrating Nexus-3500
I have a problem with resonance from my Nexus-3500. When I attach the side cover of the case, a low but disturbing hum appears. It's a steel case and I have some kind of heavy soundmat applied. Is there some way to suspend the PSU or is there room for rubber grommets inside to decouple the fan?

I had a 40GB Baracuda IV in the Zalman but as mentioned before the temps got quite high because of the low airflow in the 5'25" bays. And my PSU's powercables is to short to reach the bottom of the case. Also there was this low humming sound, perhaps I tightened the scews too much. Now it's suspende...

Quiet rack mounted case?
I just saw the Carillion ( http://www.carillondirect.com/ ) systems and would really like to have one. Is it really that quiet? And what about temps in the molex drive enclosures? I already have an almost quiet system and Carillion is too expensive for me so I think I'll go for just a rackmountcase....

Can anyone who has tried to do anything about the tall vents recommend it? It's quite a lot of work and I don't want to do it in vain. There's a lot of stuff right behind the fan and it seems more likely that these are the problem. Maybe I should remove them. :) Has anyone put the fan on the outside...

Noisy Nexus 3000
The noisiest part in my computer is my Nexus PSU. It's a whooshing sound which makes me crazy when trying to sleep in the same room. I've 'remounted' the stock fan with rubber things (http://www.gtek.se/img_prod/efs.jpg) and that help a bit. I used a dremel to cut out the grill but that didn't make ...

Bike tires
I don't know if anyone has suggested this before on the forums but I'd like to recommend bike tires (cut into appropriate pieces) when suspensing hdd's, fans and so on. I've used it for a long time with my computer that's usually on 24/7 and it still seems fine.

Finally I've recieved my new gear. The A7N8X does not undervolt lower than 1.6v even though the manual says so. Maybe a future bios will allow that. Also I can't see any effect of the Q-fan thing which is supposed to lower fan speed. It isn't well documented, don't know which fans that are affected ...

That motherboard you mentioned does not undervolt, but you can overvolt. I checked the manual for the A7N8X on Asus website: "CPU Vcore When the CPU VCore Setting parameter is set to [Manual] this field permits selection of specific CPU core voltages. Configuration options: [1.100V] [1.125V] ... [1...
