LOL, which car did that radiator come from?

How's the 9600GT doing for you? I'm thinking that if my old card or fan ever goes, I will downgrade to a fanless card (not a gamer either) or one of the low-end workstation type cards.

Last but not least I cannot get speedfan to work to get my fans to slow down. Considering the temperatures ramping up under load I don't want to set the fans at a constant 5v or 7v, but now my motherboard runs them at full speed. It's a gigabyte ga-ex58-ds4 and I bought in part since it's listed on...

So in the bottom chamber of a P18X, a PSU whose fan is on the back may perform better than one with a 12cm underneath? Unfortunately, I really don't have a clue since fans and cooling are not my area of expertise. <speculate>I would think they're both "bad" since the one underneath (which is what I...

Regarding your MSI Atom PC, How are the CPU/NB/SB temps inside that case during idle/load ? Thanks for the driver link, I will check it out then maybe I can have pf running on the two nics. As for CPU temps, here is what sysctl returns: $ sysctl hw.sensors hw.sensors.cpu0.temp0= 58.00 degC Currentl...

Nice stuff! What kind of case is that in the mini-ITX system? Also...nice pictures. Could be in a professional review. Thanks. That project actually went over budget due to the case. I wanted to make my own using plexiglass (or similar) but gave up after 30 minutes trying to cut it straight. Had to...

Hi y'all. Some notes taken from our techlib on fan placement. My reference for this is the following: Steinberg, Dave S.. "Chapter 6 - Forced-Air Cooling for Electronics". Cooling Techniques for Electronic Equipment, Second Edition. Professional Engineering Publications. © 1991. First snippet is on...

The last system is also a rebuilt and upgrade. This is the "noisiest" of the three but still quiet considering where it came from. When it is on, I could hear the air flowing through the case. System details are as follows: Case, Zalman Fatal1ty CPU i7-920 running at stock speed Graphics nVidia 800G...

The second system is a rebuild swapping several components out to get it running quieter. System details are as follows: Case Antec P182 CPU Q9450 running at stock speed Graphics ATI 3850, fan replaced with Noctua 80mm fan with 50ohm adapter M/B Gigabyte EP35-DS3R CPU cooler, Thermaltake Big-Typhoon...

The first system is a new build and replaces my ancient, noisy and LED-laden home web/e-mail server. This is the quietest of all three since there were no mechanical components used and cooling is entirely passive. System details are as follows: MSI-IM945GSE-A motherboard with Intel Atom N270 proces...

Hi. First of all, thanks to the people running this site and contributing to the forums. Reading this site has helped me choose the correct set of components to assemble/rebuild quiet running PC's. This is documentation and photos on three recently built, torn-down and rebuilt systems I have. My mai...

Hi, I'm new here but if I'm not mistaken, the lower fan on the PSU chassis on page 2 is installed backwards. The fan should be blowing towards the PSU, not towards the harddrives.
