No, I haven't. would this improve GPU temps?

And exactly what kind of proof you're referring to? Do you mean that a guy with "manufacturer" tag said it? I just can't see.

yes. by VX550 + TX750 by CWT, VX450 + TX650 by Seasonic.

I have a WD 500GB in the bottom chamber with a HX-520 but no fan. 42-45, which seems reasonable enough, so I probably don't need an extra fan (although later on I can add a fanmated YL if need be) EDIT; wow, this has gone off-topic. bottom line: if you take out the middle cage, you should be able to...

Generally Dell PCs are quieter than a poorly planned system and will be near SPCR quality at idle but the fan control will ramp up all the fans VERY QUICKLY. They're pretty quiet at idle, yes. Once, I turned it on with the door opened, it gave me a chassis intrusion warning, and immediately ramped ...

I have a Q6600 - S-FLEX SFF21E is my fan. D12SL-12s actually aren't really quiet enough for me. If you add a zalman fanmate, it should be okay.

oscar3d, got some interesting results :P seems like when i stop the middle fan, cpu temps go down about ~3 degrees while GPU temp goes up 3-5 degrees. So it's a minor difference - but one less fan = less noise :lol: New Pictures Got some free time to really get artistic with my photos. http://i235.p...

heck, I need a picture like that.

nicely done.
I think your bottom chamber can be cleaned out a bit

How are temps?

I have a question for you and other members reading the forum... What was your thinking behind the decision to mount the upper chamber front fan on the drive cage, rather than removing the cage and mounting it right at the front case opening? Was it to ensure air flow directly over the Gigabyte gfx...

Recently released, available at NCIX.com.
As proven on the forums, these are not in fact built by Seasonic, but by CWT. Not sure what this means for silent enthusiasts.

Second the motion.

First build, got a P182 - really easy to work with, but maybe that's just me

Hey oscar3d, good job on all that research - although I'm not quite sure what you are suggesting that I try. Do you truly think that If I remove that middle hard drive cage fan my temps will improve? I've already removed the rubber watercooling hole covers. I'm open to tweaking here - feel free to p...

Having the fans at 12v just means that they're running at their normal speed. The Tricool is on 'low', so I'd assume that isn't 12V. The YL actually is slower on the 4-pin SYS_FAN2 than on the 3-pin PWR_FAN header. I'd assume that isn't 12V either. TAT only stresses the first two cores - I think it...

I really want a samsung but they're just not available in Canada.

It all depends on how you cablegami it

Is that with the Scythe S-Flex SFF21E and all the other fans at 12v? Scythe S-FLEX SFF21E on Ultra-120 Tricool Exhaust -low- plugged to molex YL D12SL-12 middle fan plugged into SYS_FAN2 4-pin header Don't know much about voltages, actually :oops: The first post mentions that the Zalman fanmates ar...

He's still using DDR2 there.

I think that looks like a Samsung HD501LJ.

I have 1.0 - got it 2 weeks ago.
But thats from NCIX (Canada), so I don't know about anywhere else.

To sum up what angelkiller said: 1. Have you checked out the Antec Solo case? 2. I know this isn't what angelkiller said, but you may wish take a look at the GA-P35-DS3R - which I'm using right now - and am finding to be a very good overclocker with great stability. 3. E4300 = good. 4. Thermalright ...

Thanks everyone 8) MoJo: I was using FAH in that particular screenshot. Here is one with P95 25.4 using small FFT. http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee116/konnetikut/spcr%20build/loadp95.jpg So temps there just hit 60. No worries about threadjacking, this is all completely relevant to my build :)

For MoJo: http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee116/konnetikut/spcr%20build/loadtemp.jpg I think that my temps seems pretty standard - how did you apply your TIM? What did you use? EDIT : did a quick search on your posts - seems you've been asked this question already. In that case....I have no idea....

About memory voltage... default is 1.8v - so yes, set to +0.2 for 2.0v.
Feel free to ask again if you have more questions - I have the P35-DS3R with a Q6600 and Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400 memory. (8x400 - 3.2GHz)

miahallen, if you do 3D work, a quad would be amazing. Coming from a P4 1.8GHz, I have to say I am very impressed with this quad core. I have confidence it would OC much further - I just haven't tried yet :lol: falcon26 - a compliment from another cabling master as yourself is very encouraging :)

I already fold under another team, but since I owe SPCR one, I can switch over this new quad core for a while.
Using folding name KSERVE.

Yep advertising...check out his other posts.

You might want to check out my new build (General Gallery - just posted).
I'm using an Ultra-120 eXtreme with a Scythe S-FLEX SFF21E - which I can't hear at all. Makes for some great overclocking too.

Thank You, SPCR! First off, I'd like to thank everyone here who has made this build a reality. Really, I appreciate it. It was a happy day when I discovered SPCR. http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee116/konnetikut/spcr%20build/intelinside.jpg System Specs : Case : Antec P182 Power Supply : Corsair...

You might want to reconsider the P35C-DS3R...maybe get the non-C P35-DS3R. There seems to be a great deal of problems with the board (including boot up cycle issues). Honestly, by the time DDR3 becomes mainstream and you want to get some, you'll probably be getting a new [silent] computer with SSDs ...

I used rubber bands to suspend my old HDD about a mm - and stuffed these soft cd holders under it. The bands gave way eventually, but it didn't look any different

I really have an urge to go in there and clean it up for you...if its possible
