Anyone tried one? How silent are they, compared to the best 120 fans?

In another forum, I commented that this was a stupid design, more like a piezo buzzer, than a coil, then someone else pointed out the obvious: It is a piezo buzzer! Loading must be causing a voltage ripple being picked up by the buzzer circuit, stuffing it with foam solves the noise problem, but I ...

Any review with good sound measurements?

It's a VFD panel, so it has very wide viewing angles. So you will see it from above with no problems.

Can the knobs be removed? I wanna do some mod on them, trying to make them shorter...

I think you mean with the mobo mounted on the left side of the case, not the RIGHT side (this is also a joke about driving in the UK). Yes. :) Anyway, ths S1 it's not good for this setup, that's why the TR HR03 is better. The pci card wouldn't need any cooling (sound card, tv tuner, etc), but the s...

Errr, i don't get it. :( Why the IO shield would be facing the front of the case? :?: Look at some cases with an upside down mobo, the best example would be the Lian Li A05. Anyway, i don't think any of this setups would work with a 8800GT card, because of the heat. The 120 fan would not be efficien...

How about putting the mobo upside down? This way the cpu wouldn't get the gpu's heat, but the other way around. Consider that the cpu's heat is much lower than the gpu (8800gt). You could say that now all the heat of the system will heat up the gpu, but keep in mind that the 120mm fan will suck out ...

I'm interested in a Ninja vs Ninja Mini test, both with a 120mm fan @1000 rpm, at 5-10cm distance, pushing air into the Ninjas. I'm very curious by how much the Mini Ninja is behind the big Ninja, in such a setup. Anyone has any ideas?

The thing is not all scroll wheels are the same, so you might improvise, depending on the mouse model.

I think you could seal it, so no dust can enter. That's not the issue though, the real issue is that you can't have a power hungry system, especially a hot video card (8800gt?), because the heat will rise up (psu->gpu->cpu), so it's not good. But for a htpc system, it should work ok.

Any review for this?

It's not pwn, here you can see the mosfets, identical to the akasa rheobus 3.5" controller: http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/7172 ... 863ji9.jpg

How's the noise of the noctua and scythe slipstream, compared to a nexus fan, at the same rpm?

Good luck with the new test, very informative test.

And for the new GTS? Anyone knows?

Any problem if i mount the drive vertically, with the connectors facing down? Like this: http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/2164/hdddddkd9.jpg

I've read this thread, and the answer seems to be that it's safe, but i wanna know for sure from someone.

Like this one: http://www.silentpcreview.com/files/ima ... s/spcr.jpg

I want to place it on my custom pc case.

Are they still vibrating like hell? The 300LJ i have is very bad, from this point of view. I don't like Samsung anymore, i think i will get a WD Green Power instead.

I had 2 Seasonic psus in the past, one 400w and one s12. Both had coil noise. I bought a Antec Neo 430HE, and is dead silent.

This is only my experience, so take it with a grain of salt.

Because i can get only eVGA ones, my 7900GT was also an eVGA and it died and the shop i bought from doesn't have 7900GT, so it replaces mine with a 8600GTS, also eVGA.

Anyone?

In case it doesn't fit, what cooler should i use for 8600gts?

I plan to use my Aerocool VM 102 cooler, from my dead 7900gt, on a 8600GTS. Is it compatible?

It's rivited.

So, no noise but heat. Seems no ccfl for me, i'll use leds instead.

The inverter or the light tube? And if they get hot, why are they called "Cold cathode lights"?

Can the inverter be noise isolated in box or something?

I'll put them in a very quiet pc (2 120mm nexus fans @ 800rpm), that's why i'm asking.

I'm thinking buying some cold cathode kits for my pc. Do these kits make any noise? I see they have an inverter, does it makes any noise?

Lian Li A05. The one and only.
