I didnt use roller. I just used hands. But a hot air blower would be a great help. But not necessary. It is not necessary to put those heavy mats on every small part of case. But if you use just heavy stiff mats it will only effect vibration. You should use sound absorbent foam also. But there is no...

I would check if the HS and IHS are level. If not you should lap them. What I have read the TRUE and IHS are not level.

I think that it will need some fan. It has so tight fin spacing. I would go for some other. How much space you have? And what case?

I decided to not swap the fan. Instead I replaced my Adda on case cooling with S-Flex. Adda is nearly end of it's operating hours... It's odd how the S-flex started to getting more quiet after a few days on operation. For now it's almost quieter on 6 volt than 900 rmp (end of it's days) Adda on 12vo...

I think that you can try with one fan and check the temps. I would go for Noctua or Slipstreams...

A good 800Mhz memory will run fast enough even overclocking your system. I don't know about cruzial but G.Skill and OCZ are good runners... Check google about reviews.

I think that Abit IX38 board is good. I think also that new ati cards are in stock soon.

I would go for some other case than p150. Maybe a modded P182 with phantom and noctua fans... Or Ninehundred cos it have suberb air flow and can be quiet with right fans. (Noctua)

I have understand that it's not necessary to by that fast memory. A good 800mhz would work also on higher speeds. Maybe G.Skill or OCZ for example. Cooling is best with Thermalright Ultra Extreme. Ninja will do fine also if you want to go cheaper. With TRUE you have to by a fan also. I have understa...

That particular shop has been really reliable and they are profiled as an enthusiast shop for performance and quiet. They also have good reputation on our country. But now it seems that they are not really up for that. I wish that I would have another s-flex to compare. I have one old Adda 1200rpm s...

Ok. It came back from shop and they said it's normal.

So I rally think that s-flex are NOT SILENT. I'm also wondering how anybody can recommend it. My Adda is much better on that perspective.

Put some paste on glass and insert checked surface on the paste and see how it's spreads. Paste can be about anything. For lapping you'll need wet sand paper on grids 600, 800, 1000. Put paper on top of peace of mirror. Ad water and put your HS on the paper. Start to sand carefully on shape of 8. On...

Seems like your surfaces aren't flat. You can check it with glass and some paste. If not, you'll have to lap your IHS or HS. It's easy. And I recommend it to do anyway... Check google for lapping your components.

Distance between fan and rad is based on that the radial fan needs about half to full diameter distance to "solid" wall to operate at full potential. And it also reduce turbulent noise. Variations may be something like double the diameter as the channel. Like chambers. And remember to put lots of da...

How big your tube/box for fans and radiator can be? Because the best way is to put the rad in canal which has sharp variations in sizes and foam on walls. Maybe even turns. And fans are not in contact with rad. Atleast 6cm away on it. And in middle of canal. Rad can be on any place, but best way is ...

One site has reviewed Nanoxia fans at my country. They said that those are not quiet. Making noise like all clear plastic fans...

Check this site. http://www.silentmods.com/

I was thinking that too that fans put more or less turbulence. So your propeller might work differently on different fans. So I suggest that you either build duct with air flow straightener or a box where a fan blows or sucks air and a propeller on other opening.

I prefer last.fm also. But if you want to use pandora outside us VPN helps.

What I have understand is that the timings are more important than the speed. At least what they say in overcloking scene here in Finland. They say that 1:1 ratio and tightest timings at 1T is the best.

So it looks like that I have to send it back to shop. Let's see what they say about it...

Basically your not missing any. But chancing canal diameter suddenly will cause an impedance difference which will cause sound to be dampened. And you can use reflectors also. These are all discussed on books that deal with air canals on building etc. Maybe they are explained better because I cant e...

Why you want to use a passive heatsinks? Why not use towersinks with fans blowing up like chimney fans?

And remember, sound doesn't act like light... Which can be good or bad, depending on situation.

Hello everybody I have to report about bad experiece about scythe s-flex. Since I have read from here that it is quiet I fiqured out that I can swap my Seasonic S12 PSU fan on that since it is loudest componen on my system. And is too loud even it never ramp up. But I testet S-Flex at 5 volt 7 volt ...

Looks like a Ninja can dissipate it heat out even without an fan. So I would guess that heat does not transfer from core to sink. the problem could be in the contact of heatspeader-core or heatspeader-sink.

I would recommend that you put some foam on walls. You should also read a book of silencing air supply units on houses or some book of noise control on buildings. There is lot of info you could use on that project.

Hi

I have a Nexus Drive-a-Way. I'm a bit dissapointed on it. I'll have a Samsungs p120 in it and I had to suspend it. But in suspended it's allright. But for now I would go to Scythes box because they are allmost the same prize in Finnland.

Yes but there is liquid inside the pipes. Check this for heating heatpipes. http://www.silentmods.com/section2/item287/part14

Looking good. I'm still waiting tha IFX review. It shows promising... Ninja has it floss. I think that Scythe should do something...

I said that I used the duct tape. I never said that I recommend it. Zip ties are better or something else. You can even use silicon to fasten the fan. Use small drops and place fan on them. Don't push too hard and you'll have a "soft" mounted fan. 120mm fan will probably fit well on 140mm hole so th...

Tt:s ratings a bullsh** But I dont know about those sharkoons. But what I would do is to replace that 140mm fan with slow and quiet 120mm fan. I have done that in with my SuperFlower PSU. It worked well. I duct taped the fan on place cos I was lazy...
