Thanks. Would getting: Ultra Kaze 1000/2000RPM S-Flex 1200/1600RPM Slipstream 1200/1600RPM be best for the heatsink? I figure the Kaze will be significantly cooler. Would it be controllable by my motherboard? [ If so, I would just get the 3000RPM and put it to 33% - 66% on normal tasks. ] And for th...

Oh, sorry, didn't notice that. Heh, yeah that's pretty interesting.. I guess I'm still debating whether I want a performance system or a mildly worse silent system.. It would be very cool to press the on button on my computer without knowing anything happened [ No noise ]. Though I think that would ...

Thanks again, Another difference between our computers is, though, that I plan to overclock a considerable amount [ To 3.4Ghz from stock 2.66Ghz ]. Thats gonna need the best cooling I can get. [ Since I really don't want temps above 60C even @ 100% load ] Your input is appreciated undoubtedly. Thats...

Hello, You should read the review of the Xigmatek heatsink -- it equals the Ninja and the TRUE, for a lot less money and less weight. It even bests the TRUE at the lowest fan speed (read: when it is quietest). http://www.silentpcreview.com/article818-page1.html You can get the KingWin version of it...

Why: The people here seem educated on fans and all about noise. I have questions directly related to both of those. Any other sites you recommend would be welcome ;). I've seen a lot of tech sites but this one seems to be just about the perfect spot for fan related questions. Oh, and the fan [ 25CM ...

Right but if I get a cooler its gonna be a Ultra 120 Extreme + A good fan totaling about $75 For a start I'd rather just buy $100 worth of fans. And yeah, they are something around that. They are supposed quiet fans.. not that I bought them, they came with the case. Need or not, I want ;). Again, [ ...

I'M A MANIAC!?!?! AHAHA!! On a serious note, I just want my parts to stay cool. Currently I have some off-brand steel case with 2 80mm fans with 20CFM each at 28DB. My parts, especially my CPU get really hot. Idle P4 @ stock 3.2GHz frequencies = 60Celcius. I figure when I get my computer set up toda...

Thank you, here is a quote from the source followed by a link about the 45DB. "The cooler is powered by a single Delta BFB1012L blower fan placed to the right side of the cooler. This is the same blower fan used in the GeForce 8800 Ultra. According to Delta, the BFB1012L is a 12V fan with ball beari...

Help with fan choice
Well, I figure my first post should go here since it lists newcomer questions here, so, here it goes. I read somewhere that the 8800GTS 512 on max fan setting makes 45DBA of noise [ presumably on max speed ]. The Slipstream 1600RPM makes 32DBA. Since you can't really get a perfect idea of the noise ...
