I'm back with my P4 3 ghz and 1.3 ghz tbird but seems whenever I stop folding and start again it doesn't resume the previous work properly so I think I might be wasting my time a bit.

The 120mm has the big hard drive type power connector, with only two pins being used. But I don't really know of any way to slow this puppy down as my fan controller only supports the small fan connections like on the 80mm panaflow fans. So is there any cheap hardware or a connection so I can hook i...

If you want real performance don't be suckered into getting a 2.4c or 2.6c and ocing it. I bought a retail 3.0c and have it had it stable at 3.5 ghz for two weeks. Maybe you could do that with a 2.4c or 2.6c but i'm not a fan of playing the CPU lottery. Doing just fine with a Zalman 7000 cooling it,...

I feel maybe I can help you out a bit seeing as I have almost the exact same setup. I have a retail P4 3.0 ghz C and a Saphire 9800xt (exact same as ATI afaik) I have this all in a Antec Sonata, with the stock 120mm case fan and two 80mm Panaflo's. Right now my system is NOT quiet. I blame probably ...

I'm trying to setup a few fans on my Vantec fan controller, but I'm running into problems getting the wires and fans anywhere near each other.

I can't find any kind of contact page with their email, do you happen to have it on hand?

I read that they don't fit on the 9800 AIW's but I was wondering if anyone knows if they'll fit on the new XT's

Zalmans web boards seem down for me, but I'm wondering if a Zalman heatpipe will even fit on an AIW 9800?

Well I took the plunge and modded my xbox to have a 80mm panaflo in it. My temps seem higher but there's a guide at xbox-scene.com (which I also used as far as replacing the fan went) that tells you how you can use some cooling paste and it'll apparently help drop temps. If you're interested in doin...

Although this would put a real dent in my pocket book I only wish it would come out before the fall, when I buy a new computer and spend at lot on quiet components.

Good luck with that, as from my personal experience the Xbox is pretty damn loud as is, so it'd take some serious work to make it quieter.

http://www.silenx.com/viewCat_z.asp?idCategory=75 If these are the fans in the powersupplies are these some of the better fans you could get? (Albeit PRICEY!) They do offer a special with 4 of these fans and a 350 powersupply which sounds a bit better. I already have some panflows but that deal soun...

Damn I'm glad I found this thread. I ordered a bunch of these, and they weren't that expansive until shipping was finally added (AFTER I ORDERED BLEH I got them from http://www.mcmaster.com/) I was fighting pretty hard to get them in and eventually just gave up, because I don't even have the pc I pl...

The border is why I almost ALWAYS try to avoid ordering anything across the border. I'll be screwed like you far too many times in the past, and after awhile it really starts to sting.

From Slashdot http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydisplay.cfm?storyID=3507549&thesection=business&thesubsection=technology It has just taken delivery of 588 IBM blade servers, each with two 2.8 gigahertz Intel Xeon processors, in a deal which on list prices would be approaching $5 million. I wonder if af...

I just bought a ST320024A in May to replace my horrible horrible IBM Deathstar. I really have great karma picking reliable hard drives. It's been great so far although I did have serious problems with Windows not recognizing it as a second drive so I had to reinstall windows. Probably a just a Windo...

I bought 40 that look exactly like this one http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/product.php? ... 254c30583f

Is there a secret to getting them to fit in the damn hole properly? I've tried pushing pretty damn hard and I would think they should just slide in fairly easy.

I just got a ST3120024a and despite a weird issue in XP I was able to run seeam.exe no problem and it's now set to quiet. My current system is far too loud for it to really make a difference, I just splurged as I needed more storage before I build a silent system.

Well this sure is an interesting development. What?s that saying Doctor Phil always says, the best indicator of future behavior is past behavior? Well I?m seriously uncertain about their future looking at their past. As far as I?m concerned Silenx and all his alter egos were polluting our forums the...

From another fourm but very fitting

My BARRACUDA V 120GB ATA 7200RPM 8MB CACHE just shipped today, it should be a very, very welcome change from my IBM drive. I've got my accoustics disk all ready to pop in when I get the drive up. Here's hoping Seagate lives up to the hype.

I don't know WHY I bought my current IBM 40 gig in the first place... but I did and it's been pretty HORRIBLE. It would have month long spats where I would audibly hear a few clicking, grinding noises and then I'd lock up. I'd panic, backup and prepare for the eventual crash... which never happened....

I haven't gotten a signle work unit to register since I've switch to the CLI. And now it's doing frames 100-350 I've tried erasing the work directory but it still climbs above 100

/sigh

WOW! I switched to the COMMAND line version only and although it was a pain to minimize it... it now would appear to be AMAZINGLY faster... Anyone using anything but it would be nuts

google trayit if you want to mimize it. Woweeeeeeee

Yeah I saw the video... and he used dampening material so I guess I'll wait to see how quiet my new system is before I head for the muffler/dampening material route. The video was pretty damn impresive, although being attached with velco... I really wonder if that's the optimum way to attach a muffl...

Also it really depends on where you're going to school, but if you're thinking laptop will let you take great notes you might be mistaken. From my experience most profs have all notes/lecture material online now anyway so taking notes in class on a laptop won't really help you any. And I don't think...

Atic.ca sells a 120G 7200rpm ATA100 8M ST3120024Awith Hydraulic Baring (Barracuda4 ) 

Do they really mean Barracuda5 or is there both, as I thought IV's were better as they had that noise plate or something to that effect.

Yeah I wish Yoshi would atleast post the specs on that system. And if he were to do a walk through for more of the sound dampining techniques that would have been groovy, /sigh oh well.

jinu117 How are the temps overall in your system now. I'm thinking of getting a retail 3.06ghz and throwing the Zalman 7000 on it and a Radeon 9700 with a heat pipe. Really just wondering how your temperatures as a system are (especially when you OC to 3.06ghz) and how's the noise for you overall fr...
