I don't know where u live bobash but if u really want u could build a temperature controlling unit for your fans (I'm in Australia and summers coming so probably won't be much use for me) :) http://www.heatsink-guide.com/tempcontrol.htm this site shows u how to build a simple temperature controll an...

with the SLK-800 being able to accept both types of fans I'd think this is for the ppl who'd prefer the whine of something like a 60MM delta over the 80MM delta, as the "dead spot" in the middle of the 60MM delta is smaller and also the fan spins faster so means more air pressure into the heatsink, ...

Yate Loon rusty? I had a pyrotenic (or something sounding like that) fan on my AOpen try getting the PSU model number directly off the PSU u may have to take it out of the case to have a look at the sides as the stickers are usually covered by the case.

good luck with it dogbox, I managed to dig up a quiet 60MM fan at my computer swap meet a ADDA AD0612LS-C70GL 21dBA fan pretty good for like 3 bucks, just check the ratings on the fan stickers this one is rated at .08A at 12V if the rating is below about 0.12A (as MikeC said) and the bearings are no...

I've noticed that a lot of the frosty tech noise samples sound like the mic is getting wind noise though, but it is a good guide with the waveform display of the output, like the waveforms of the verax fans.

OMG OMG rusty u should submit this to like HardOCP I think this is the coolest case mod I have seen ever good work how much effort did u take to build it all?

yeah looks pretty good there a film of heatpipe that can be as big as 500 Microns it'd do wonders for heatspreading

what PSU u got Reddawn?, I found that it took AGES for me to find the specs of my AOpen PSU on their website had to dig through some .DOC file that had the specs onto it. I found that the easiest way to get the spec for it is to pull the fan out and have a look at the sticker and then stick into goo...

http://www.directron.com/12to7.html Directon sell the adapater pre made but the easiest way I've found to make a 7V adapter is to get a molex double adapter and snip the black wires off one of the plugs and wire that one for 7V and the leave the other one still wired so u get a kinda pass through 7...

I've found it easier to just cut the wires on the end of the molex plugs and fiddling round with them, I've tried the method that TerryW said as well with the pilers that works pretty well as well... good luck

lol keep at it for my quiet computer setup took me AGES to do

ooooopss silly me

so u think that if I stick a 5-7V Panaflow on a Swiftech MCXC370 I'd get good performance??
SWEETTTT I wanted one of them but the guy's who were selling it said that it wouldn't work well

with that 60MM Swifty heatsink though the tight pin configuration would mean that u'll probably need a decent fan with some decent backpressure (ie decent RPMs) to push the air down to the bottom of the pins, I don't think a fan like the Panaflow L1A would push enuff air at enuff pressure to get it ...

hmmm I'd be guesing the SLK-800 has a larger surface area but surface area isn't the be all and end all, u also have to consider how much air gets to the actual fins and the area. I did find the dimensions on it though :) Dimension: L87 x W56.4 x H48 (mm) - Top, without fan L57.5 x W56.4 x H48 (mm) ...

hmm so u're relying totally on your PSU fan for your case ventilation? I had that problem with my AOpen PSU, I ripped out the loud stock fan and stuck a Panaflow L1A onto it, but the computer would randomly reboot at intervals :( so I had to move up to a M1A. If u're getting a quiet PSU like the Zal...

ummmmm u're getting to the point where u're getting diminishing returns, u could try undervolting some of the case fans or turn them off altogether, u could replace the Zalman fan for something more quiet like a 80MM panaflow or Papst fan, oh and what's your GPU heatsink like? The Geforce 3 Ti 200 u...

kenmore? the only brand I've heard of sounding like that name is kenwood, :) u could also slow down your cd rom on your computer and save yourself some money :D http://www.cd-silence.com/ <- u need to register this version the software slows down your CD ROM reading speeds http://cdromtool.hopto.org...

u could get a zalman fanmate and have a twiddle with your Voltages that way

Frosty tech has reviewed the Verax heatsink here http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.c ... cleID=1215 it's basically a extruded Al heatsink with ordinary clip and with the silencer fan this is the Verax GmbH P11T

Hmmm true ausone but the 92MM fan has more airflow for the size, probably the best way is to block the intake on the front of the power supply and run the 92MM fan and that will also help general case ventilation as well. that's my ideas though

A Panaflo makes an annoying noise from motor friction if it is 5-volted.

errr okay I had one of those noises from a ball Bearing panaflow but I've 5V the FBA Hydrowave ones and it doesn't seem to make any noise though *shrugs*

yeah I just read it back again and I don't know what I'm saying myself

maybe he leaves the side panel off? *shrugs* that's the only way I could see it getting within reasonable limits

don't know actually I've only got a lonely maxtor in my box, buuuuttt that link teklan posted has a utility that reads pretty much any drive that has AAM installed and according to what I could extract from that readme in it it works on any drive

oh yeah and this is the URL for the Maxtor AAM utlity, took me AGES to find it the US site doesn't have it listed anywhere anymore http://www.maxtor.ab.pl/down/amset.zip u need a boot disk to run it off hopefully it'll let me run off a boot cd

Red dawn the IBM feature tool scans your HDD's and then won't install if u don't have a IBM drive detected there's a bit of software on the web called Abacus Acoustic Management software out there but it only works on 9x/ME boxes, also the Intel application accerlator works in some intel chipsets as...

so they're selling papst fans, get a L1A 92MM panaflow then and fan mate it

I'm in

Yup that's the 92MM Panaflow that u want , I know the specs say they're a bit loud but u'll be undervolting it anyway, or u could try some papst fans but I don't know anything about them I stick to the good ole panaflows
