@ SmilingCrow: Seriously, you must have like the best Performance/W system in the World.

Dustinhome.se here in Sweden has/had them. After my order the Sempron 3000+ 35W went out of stock though. Dustin seem to have some Sempron 3200+ 35W left. They are cheaper at some other e-tailers but none of them has any in stock.

As a previous poster noted, the lowest vcore limit in BIOS is apparently arbitrary, as the motherboard can technically reach lower voltages. With the right BIOS update, this can be corrected. It's not too late to tell ABIT there are people out there who would be very pleased with the ability to und...

How much truth is really behind all this RAID-5 and SATA panic?

As asked previous in the thread: Will a Scythe Ninja fit this board? It looks a bit cramped around the ram-slots... Not sure.... I will fit a Hr-01 on it with a S-clip and use a fan duct. I already have one, as I will put an Ultra120 on the C2D. Then the Hr-01 is free and I can put it on my expensi...

You must be joking, right? It was expected to draw close to 200W, making it very difficult to cool quietly. The X1950 XTX is listed by Xbitlabs as 125W, so the 8800 GTX should be ~138W. Considering the beefy cooler it should run reasonably quiet. Being a card that's 60-90% faster than the X1950 XTX...

I thought it looked a bit dodgy at first. I havn't read everything yet though...

It has thightly packed fins and lots of heatpipes. For good or worse.

I just ordered one. Couldn't hold myself Those Rubycons and the passive cooler looked so sexy! As I will run Linux on it (iptables, fileserver och browser etc) I went for the 35w Sempron (from dustinhome.se) which wasn't cheap....

Komplett.se are really fast so it should be here 2morrow.

Is the only way to get low vcore on Linux without messing with the kernel to buy a 35w sempron?

That's what one poster claimed above, but the board would have to support lower voltages - otherwise you couldn't install the EE and EE/SFF CPUs which use a lower CPUvoltage (hence the lower power rating). So on the NF-M2, can you specify these lower voltages in the BIOS? If anybody with the board ...

At XS one guy claims that the Nidec 120*38 is more silent at same airflow than the YL 120*25. If you are referring to the post by "oohms", that's not actually what s/he said; s/he said the 120*38 was "silent @ 5V" but we all know people use the term "silent" to mean a lot of different things. Mostl...

Here's the Panasonic model I've looked at. Looks to have an rpm wire, but the specs say not. http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/yhst-24067115789173_1919_189209461.jpg The word is that the Denkis 120*38 are less noisy than same size Panaflows. J-mag is out of stock in the FS section @ XS but h...

Enermax can have some motor noise. This motor noise can be eliminated with a tban and setting the right pwm frequency. Then it's very smooth (for ball bearing fan). Tbans are not cheap though.

Subjective Review but the reviewer had this to say, "To be completely honest the Noctua fan running at full blast was nearly inaudible, and when using the U.L.N.A resistor I almost couldn’t distinguish it from the HDD’s spinning." If a noise from a 600rpm fan is as loud as an idling hdd, it's d...

I did the research before and word on the street is that the Sanyo Denki's have the nicest sound character. I have two, and they are pretty smooth. Pro's: Very smooth character, great air pressure. No motor noise under 7V. Con's: Not silent, even at 5V. Draw 20W at 12V. Have you undervolted further...

Would some one like to comment on this?

Think there's a comment on the Delta aswell.

Cheapset: Just duct to the psu and vents in the cd-bay. Also put Nv-silencer on video cards. This way no heat from one component will get to any other. In effect you have ducted everything. Mike chin did this to his friend in Thailand remember? And it worked all right. Easiest: Stick a TR Hr-01 on t...

I told you it was real.

I didn't use the rubber spacer for the GPU core. The four point mounting seemed secure enough without it. One thing to be careful of is to tighten the screws in the backplate thoroughly: If you don't they thread themselves back out when you fit the main thumbscrews. :( When you do the four thumbscr...

My modding plans for my case is similar but.

So I like this one. But the side panels don't look as good as on the p180.

Go Hr-03. It's really nice. On a 1950 you might want to look over the ventilation though or maybe add an Nexus 92mm (hr-03 comes with brackets for this) if you want to overclock or if you got poor ventilation.

In a SLI configuration with the lower card's cooler facing up or down it wouldn't work well because of lack of airflow. If you have a strong negative case pressure (no front fans) and open several PCI slots, then it should work reasonably well. IMO the lower card should have the cooler facing down ...

Well it's the best performer I've had. In my case it's in passive mode and beats the Vm-102, but the enviroment might not have been the same at the two tests. Poodle: I guess you have bridge lying somewhere for that 7900 GT... Is there actually no space for the SLI bridge like I'm suspecting, eller...

Well it's the best performer I've had. In my case it's in passive mode and beats the Vm-102, but the enviroment might not have been the same at the two tests. IMHO it will be hard to keep up with when ducted and fan on the HDD cage with the cooler hanging under the card blowing out the pci-openings....

Installed it today and I'm getting some really good temps running it just on the case fans (no mounted fan). Seeing at some 5 degrees C lower compared to the noisy stock cooler. I had to loose the silicon fram for the GPU though that comes with the cooler as it made the gpu block (shiny!!) to have b...

My old system maxed out at 327W, the new one maxes out at 230W, both measured at the wall. A P500 has lots of headroom. So a 430W PSU wouldn't be a problem then? I'm considering buying almost the same system, but I was thinking of getting a Seasonic 430W instead (and an Antec Solo). It'd be good to...

I'm gonna switch the Vm-102 to the new Tr Hr-03. It has the fins in the right direction aswell but is bigger than vm.

[quote="cmthomson"][quote="bhaltair"]I added the Kama Bay to get a larger intake cross section. I doubt that its fan would add any value; push-pull arrangements have been pooh-poohed many times on SPCR. But try it and see; who knows?quote] Well the mid fan placement of the fan in the lower chamber I...

Welll you got a good one then. The idea with the phantom is great but I wasn't as lucky as you and I'm not alone I believe... Must have been tricky to fit it in when the hybrid fan isn't removed. :) I'm aware that 500w is more than 95% of us will ever need. My ups reports someting around 160W on 100...

The Kama bay I've totally missed though. Thanks for the tip now I don't have to build an own in thick acryclic or steel with a aluminum fan filter that was my plan. Good stuff again Chris. I've got to wait for the cool and digital 6phase vrm:ed DFI Rd600 before I post anything about it. I'm on the c...
