hello everybody, I have a Gigabyte Poseidon case, i just changed the rear fan to a 1200 s-flex. my front fan is Gigayte made, i don't know it's speed. does anyone know? also, the hhd cage was behind it but i suspended the drives in the upper cage (where the CDRW go) so they don't get cooled by the f...

i see, so the list he posted was his new set up (that he wants to get).
it seems kinda old (sorry) - even if you don't want to run games.
anyway, i came out kinda lame...
what did you think for an HDD?
you can use 4gb of ram on vista 64 btw.

so you want to make it quieter. generaly there are a few options - 1. the cheapest - suspend your HDD, it's a bit tricky doing but you just need to get an elastic cable, and the sound difference is incredible! note that they will get a bit warmer because they aren't connect to the case (unless you p...

what noise exactly? mine is a ight bazz that increses when i run graphics, movies or games. if i don't do anything or even don't move the mouse it's rather quiet . in any case, it's a known problem? edit - my warranty passed. is there anything i can do by myself? i read a lot of reviews before but t...

Hi,
my Gigabyte 8600 Gts silent pipe 3 hums under load, if i decrease the clock speed it becomes quieter, but not completely.
and then it really degrades the performance.
it sounds like electric buzzing.
did someone encounter the same thing or similar to it?
thanks,
Dan.

i have the 8600 GTS silent pipe3.
it works at idle at around 50c.
it's an ok card, as a next gen' card it a bit disappoints, but i got it knowing it.
which company made a x1950 with passive cooling?
it is said it's faster the the nvidia.

IT'S OK.
DON'T BOUNCE THE COMPUTER, OR PUT IT ON THE SIDE.

you might be able to find info about your mobo' in: speedfan.com

i indeed was referring to you ("yes, it will be noisy"). - what is the problem? it seems surprising that in one hand your looking to quiet your computer and on the other hand you don;t mind it being noisy, all the discussion was kinda pointless. also, i use a fan mate 2 to devolt it between 600-1200...

that is true.
by solving, i didn't mean just to get different components, but to find a way to cool them with out making to much noise.
the case helps.
the 800 will be too low for his system.
as it seems he isn't looking for silence at all, so you can get the 1600 which will cool better.

as i see from your planned system - it will be noisy - 1 raptor + 2 HDD + 8800GTX fan, and hot for the same reasons. your planned case will be good to deal with both these problems (then any other cases) but will not solve them. the 1200 is versatile - it will work between 600rpm to 1200 and you can...

so why did you choose the Minebea ?

i heared it has a PWM wire...

i believe that the fan that comes with the Scythe ninja is similar to the s-flex 1200RPM. at full speed you can hear it (although it's not loud) at 600rpm it's pretty much silent - if you don't put your ear to the case. also, i wanted to know how's the S-flex 1200 compared to the Scythe Minebea NMB ...

very nice! so it fits good and no vibrations? edit: i just ordered it with an extra s-flex 1200 rpm fan. if the 800 ticks i will install the 1200 and undervolt it somehow. it's a good solution to cool my hdd as well since i suspended them in front. i think i'll post pics when i install it. thanks fo...

regarding the clicking - you might be right as i seen that Scythe 800 rpm was found clicking (only the 800 rpm s-flex). how's the Scythe Minebea 1100 rpm fan? the ninja i think comes with a 1200 rpm scythe fan and it's quiet. although i devolt it with a fan mate to 600 rpm which makes it nearly sile...

thanks!
the pics didn't load.
you said the fan was bad, what did you put instead?

how did you mount it on rails?
also, what low rpm fan can you recommend? i don't plan on devolting it.
thanks.

that's a gaient case.
so big it has a back intake.
do you really need that?

thanks.

idle ~36c
load ~50c
but when i had a zalman 7700alcu it's temperature didn't jump so fast between idle and load (although it was about the same end temp).

Hi,
I was wondering, is it worth it to buy other after market Thermal grease to put with my Scyhte Ninja which is now mounted (for a month) with the original paste it came with?
if so, which is recommended?
thanks a lot!

try to figure from the pic if it might fit.. (i can't tell = it fits my 965p-ds3p)

1. You say the thermalright is cheaper. WRONG. where i live it's much more expensive and even doesn't include a fan. 2. The Ninja is great, it cools my cpu and other components (especially the GP) wonderfully! 3. the mount wasn't to fiddly (a bit) but my main concern is it strength - the ninja (+ fa...

my 250GB said it was 7200.9.
you need to connect the hdd to sata2 for 3gb\s.
you think it's something to do with jumpers?

i thought of going for the WD (i don't like Samsung) but it was more expensive and the Seagate got 5 year warranty. i bought a 250GB 7200.10 - which is, by checking in "everest ultimate" a 7200.9. checked in seagte website - and they don't have the 7200.9 as a 250GB. the model number as it appears (...

Hi,
Wanted to know if and what are the differences between a Barcuda 7200.10 to 7200.9.
Thanks a lot!
D.

it's to messy.

Hi,
in the end, this is what i did:



it's elastic strings like the ones in trainers shorts.

thing is, it's not very durable. and it is starting to loosen.
what other material i can use?

thanks a lot,
Dan.

that would be a good choice

i don't know, sorry.
fact is, that even if you just run vista, it requires 3d rendering (not pixel shading or stuff like that) - not to the extreme.
as you plan to buy a new card, don't by to old generation - 7600 is a very good all rounder.
(check tom's hardware - if you didn't already)
