Got a U2-UFO on the way to me, decided I wanted something chunky to hold all my watercooling gear. ;) Not sure on the quietness front, it's a pretty open case which tends to mean noise gets out, but with quiet fans and such you could keep it fairly quiet I think. HDD noise is likely to be an issue -...

Noticed my Atlas 15K II was getting a bit warm last night (I recently moved it from the main drive cage to being suspended in the 5.25" bays). Putting a spare 80mm fan blowing over it seems to have massively reduced the temps and the fan is inaudible over the rest of my stuff (it's a yate loon fan a...

Using the fan headers could be a good idea, maybe even for other things than fans, because I can easily turn it off with SpeedFan. It should work as long as I'm not connecting too power hungry devices. Can I connect a resistor to a fan header? Trying to regulate a resistor with PWM sounds strange, ...

First, what kind of metal is this? It's really heavy, and shiny. It might be chromed steel, I'm not sure. I don't want to add any kind of corrosion catalyst to my setup. As of right now it's all copper. Probably nickel plated brass. Reducing to 3/8" will cut flow quite a bit, you might want to just...

It could be the fan bearings warming up and developing less fricton. However, at 1900 RPM you're transitioning every 15ms, which is a bit close to the frequency you're checking. It could be that the actual variation is quite small but you're getting odd effects because the frequency you're sampling ...

If you can't switch it off in the bios you have basically two options: 1. Run a fan off the header. 2. Pretend you're running a fan off the header. Option 1 is easy, but there's a fan. :p Option 2 requires something to fake a fan, if you have some fairly basic electronics knowledge you can hook up a...

just make sure your radiator isnt copper, or you risk turning your entire cooling system into a battery that will literally disolve your rad and waterblocks Not exactly. To get real battery effect you need to have electrical current in both ends and some potential difference. Yes, mixing metals wil...
