You have virtually nothing in there. Maybe bad heatsink placement? you also need to get the hot air out. Like ya said another fan. Don't have many choices as the back fits an 80mm. Maybe you can have the back come in and the side out? What do you mean by bad heatsink placement? There are only so ma...

OMG, what an awesome setup! The NSK2400 fits in perfectly, looks more like a high-end audio unit than a PC. I am going to be building an almost identical AM2 rig, if it was me I would prefer a lower idle temp than 51C, have you tried undervolting in software (RMClock/Crystal)? Thanks for the compli...

Some random thoughts from assembly: - Antec put together a high quality case in the NSK2400. All of the 'little touches' were there, like rolled edges to prevent cuts, cables that were actually long enough, everything fit together well, etc. - The CNPS 9500 AM2 is huge!!! It completely dwarfs the st...

I hope everything fits ok! How many case fans will you be using in this setup? I'm not quite sure yet how many case fans I'll need in this setup, but I'll obviously try to keep it to a minimum to keep the noise down. I don't think the system should produce a whole lot of heat, since I don't even ha...

Supposedly it barely fits, after some modification. I'll be sure to take some pictures that illustrate if/how it works out.

I am currently running a PC with just one fan, although it is just a low power media PC. The single 80mm fan in the PSU exhausts air out the back. All of the holes in the case are sealed off except for the vent on the side of the case over the CPU. A duct connects the CPU heasink to the vent so all ...

SilverStone SST-LC02 Questions
I searched the forum and didn't find any topics relating to this case at all, and reviews around the web seem to be scarce. Here's a link to it. I'm looking for a case almost exactly like this for my system, but I run two hard drives, and the specs say it only has room for one. I'm wondering if two ...

my current situation is an 1800+ at 2.50ghz and 1.85v. i have an slk-800a and thermaltake smart case fan II that revs all the way up to 5500 rpm to keep the temps around 55c under full load. i'm pretty sure i have very good cpu cooling, but i'm thinking that i'm just dealing with way too much heat t...

a couple of thoughts... would the thermaltake be about the same noise level as a panaflo L1A with the same airflow? perhaps somebody actually has both and could give me some personal experiences? also, 75cfm at the top end is way more than i would need. perhaps i could put a resistor inline with the...

fan with biggest operating voltage range?
sometimes i run my cpu at 2.0ghz and 1.5v in which case my panaflo L1A operating between 5v and 12v is enough. othertimes, i crank up my cpu to 2.5ghz in which case my y.s. tech 70mm tmd fan with 40cfm is necessary to keep it cool under load. i'm wondering if any fan exists that can operate at the s...

Are you sure you guys are in the right forums? LOL. 2.5Ghz Athlons must be atleast XP3500+? How about getting a 80mm-120mm adaptor and sticking 120mm fan instead, that way you can be sure you have enough cfm. :D we can have speed and quiet, can't we?? :D i'm thinking that 3500+ might be a little bi...

Personally, I would be pretty suprised if you were able to accomplish it. That is a massive overclock... well, i upped my voltage to 1.85 last night and it's stable in windows at 2.5ghz (166*15) but crashes in 3dmark03. i'm hoping that it just needs to be a little cooler, or else i'll have to look ...

I don't want to start a flame war but this "burning up" issue is why I will not use an AMD CPU. There is no reason why they should be like this. If Intel can thermally protect their CPUs, so can AMD. This is a way too common occurance with AMD CPUs. I've built hundreds of systems and am very carefu...
