thanks but that wouldnt work for me. I have a quadcore.

I have my system down to a very very slightly inaudible hummm now so i am satisfied.

Ok... quick update. I did the HDD swap and i couldnt get the bottom chamber HDD mounting brackets off fast and my girlfriend is getting mighty tired of me opening up the comp at putting all the parts all over the living room every weekend so i just put the HDD in the Scythe enclosure and put the enc...

Nice build. But i think you would get the most out of your system if you had Scythe 1200rpm or 800rpm fans running at 800rpm. And you should get a scythe quiet drive or a good HDD... made a worl of diffrence too me.

Well i have the Noctuas instead but the scythe are almost or just as good.

Still... im very fucking impressed. I wonder why there isnt a company that hires people like YOU to build the PCs they are selling. Then and only then you get your moneys worth. Ive seen some pretty amazing builds in here and yours is definitly one of the top 3-4. more and more people want quiet bui...

WOW!... thats huge fucking build. I dont really understand what u will use 12TB of space for thou. I have 1 750gb drive and i dont think i will be able to fill it up in quiet some time.

i have a quick question. If i stop all the fans in my system and i still hear noise. does that mean its from the HDDs? I have all in all 6 fans in my system including PSU and GPU fan. If i stop all of them the noise should stop as well... not taking into account HDD vibration. I will try this when i...

OK... im on my way. Ive ordered a 750gb western digital green power and a scythe enclosure. I have some foam(be it bad foam) left over that i will have the enclosure sitting on. With rivatuner i can turn down the fan speed to 25% instead of only 50% thats possible with expert tool. I have lots to do...

OK... very interesting. I am open to this but i have one koncern. How do you make shure that the HDDs dont just fly around inside the case if you happen to pick it up to work with it? What i mean is have you fastend the HDDs to the bottom of the chassi or something of the sort? Thanks for the consta...

Yes i agree with most of the posts in here. Closing the rear vents around the psu made my lower compartment temp increase at least in my configuration though. I have 2 hd enclosed in Scythe enclosures located in the lower compartment and after closing the holes the temp of them increased. My PSU is...

Thanks... What i do know is that i havent done enough to reduce the noise of the GPU and the HDDs. Solution is problably going to be to sell of my 2 HDDs and buy 1 samsung 750gb HDD (notoriously the quietest or one of the quietest 3.25" HDDs) and put it in a Scythe quiet drive and then fasten it ont...

Wow!... thanks for the feedback... i think i understand most of it. I do have some questions thou. 1. Do you mean that by taping over the top vent it will improve sound or do you mean it will improve the cooling? Either improvment is fine by me but im just curious as to why that is. 2. Is the Accele...

Hi everyone. I have been coming to SPCR almost every day to suck in as much knowledge as i can. I have taken inspiration from diffrent people and builds here but i have also made som misstakes. It started out when i bought a new computer with these parts: Case: P182 CPU: Q6600 GO (currently@3ghz wit...

Simply amazing. Any reason u taped of the top vent? Why not use it as exhaust or intake? why not have any intake at all? Shouldnt u have like more exhaust then intake to get negative airpressure or whatever its called?

Please an update on your temps. I have the same system except i have these changes. 9600GT instead of 9800 (runs much cooler and i can problably run Accelero s1 passive without problem.) Asus P5K-E wifi motherboard (not the best overclocking board but it was cheap and it will do untill i find a bett...

Just to give everyone a big uppdate and a picture of what my system looks like and what my temp readings are etc. First some pictures of when reapplied all the parts and put artic mx-2 on instead of the noctua thermal paste among other things. http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/7320/img2164fk0.jpg h...

After you've been here a while, you'll probably see that there is no "best" anything when it comes to computer parts, and more specifically quiet computer parts. There are so many variables when considering what parts are "best", that you need to narrow the choices when asking this sort of question...

Yeah i got gready... But then again its not a loud system and im not ever likely to be able to run on 100% on all cores and thats what was needed to get the temps to 68-69... on low fan and airflow. Meaning if i wanted to do a heavy overclock and i didnt care about noise i could but i dont mind this...

Hmm... thing is im now thinking its not the cpucooler but the fact that i am running all the noctuas at 900rpm instead of the stock 1300rpm and i closed of the top vent. victorhortalives: I already closed of the vent with sounddampening and im already regretting it a little as well as i cut off the ...

So this is what i have done.... I cancelled the order for the Zalman fancontroller since it would mean i wouldnt be able to use the Scythe Kamabay. I bought Scythe Kamabay and Be-Quiet Sounddampening. the kamabay worked nice but the sounddampening was tricky and i was nervous about being able to fit...

NOOOOOO!!!!!!.... is THIS my future? Am i doomed to this god forsaken existense?

Why cant manufacturers be more responsible? Think of the children... oh dear god think of the children.

I'm running a freezer 7 pro with a e8400 - temps (core) never got above 60c under full load - i'm running it without the default cooler though, here's a few shot of the setup: http://phoenixsun.helicon.ch/pc/setup6.jpg The 2 noctuas provide enough cooling it seems so I removed the stock fan. As for...

Reason im asking is because i dont really know where modern laptops are dbA wise... at work im sitting with a laptop and if i ever would have a computer this quiet i would never be able to know when its on if i didnt look at the LEDs.

hmm... that might be the problem. I havent really done a proper examination of my bios because of the sound of the vga cooler when its not inside windows. Either way i think i might just use the PSU for firing up the fans instead of the mobo since it would mean i can have better cable managment. *Up...

Just to give everyone thats been cool enough to give me advice a uppdate... I tried undervolting the fans using the 2 adaptors u get with the Noctua NF-P12 case fans and none of the fans would start up(including cpufan). I have the fans connected to the motherboard so maybe it can be some weird prob...

I have a gainward geforce 9600GT and i bought this brand of 9600GT because it was said to have great cooling and really quiet. It is very loud if u dont have the drivers installed since it revs up so fast... in im talking really loud. So basically each time i put the comp on it revs up untill it loa...

Well i have thought about if maybe i dont have the heatsink mounted good enough since i also always get the 2 first cores 5-8 degrees hotter then the other 2 cores. Doesent matter much.... as long as the comp dont run hotter then 55C on idle its good. But usually its on 42-44 at Idle(overclocked to ...

For the time being im running them at 12v, im gonna undervolt them using the resistors i got L.N.A and U.L.N.A... i have tried this already and they do work but only down to 900rpm.... Wonder if maybe a fancontroller can get them down to 600rpm. Also i guess i might as well get 1x750GB Samsung spinp...

Thanks for the input. Just so u guys know i wasnt planning on tossing away the noctua chassi fans.... i payed 50$ for 2 of them... what i meant was i that i was gonna add 2-3 scythe fans since there is too big of a pricegap without a big enough performancegap and have the 2-3 scythes together with t...

Look i dont really know what is going on since i have bought the recommended products for quiet pc components... Recommended: Antec P182 (removed all the tricool fans) 2xNoctua NF-12P Chassi fans Noctua NH-12P CPU cooler (1xNF-12P included) Corsair HX520 powersupply Dont know about these: 1xSeagate ...

I have to say im extremly impressed with the amount of work you put into this. Its good that you told us about the parts that seemed to make a diffrence and the parts that didnt seem to make any diffrence. But maybe some parts made a diffrence in temp but not sound and vice versa. I for one feel i c...
