Hi all, i have a Sonata and want to know if a Panaflow will fit to the front of my Sonata?? or the rear?.........i have an abit nf7-s v2.0.....
since the specs list only 25mm will fit, i'm not sure if the Panaflow with 38mm will fit too.....
Will Panaflow fit front Sonata?

I have a Sonata with a Asus K8V Deluxe with the stock fan in the rear and a Panaflow 120mm in the front on the hard drives. Although thicker than the stock fan I dont have any problems and I dont see why one wouldnt work in the rear also. My board has the floppy header right where the fan is and the floppy header is tilted sidways towards the fan. I was easily able to get the cable around the fan with no problems

thanx for the reply.....
my +3.3V rail is also a bit off i think....from MBM5 readings i get an average of 3.27V:

i'm using the 380W PSU that came w/ the Sonata, 2 hdd's, 1 dvd-rom and 1 dvd-rw......is this too much for the PSU to handle?

I ordered my Sonata from directron without the PSU. I already had a 350 watt quiet psu so I just used that. I have 2 hard drives, 2 optical drives (1 dvd drive, 1 dvdrw drive) and a ATI Radeon 9700 Pro (which needs its own connection to the power supply). I have not had any power supply related problems.
Your 380 watt PSU should be able to handle your system easily. I am not at home right now so I cant see what MBM5 says about my voltages but I will take a look tomorrow.

3.27V is less than 1% off from 3.3V. That's good enough. For one thing, you don't even know how accurate the sensors are. You should pay attention more to fluctuations of the various rails under load (e.g. when burning discs, running benchmarks or Prime95, etc. I'm not sure how much tolerance is allowed, but I think 5% is a safe figure.
380W is plenty for 2 HDD and two optical drives, esp. since the Antec PSU is fairly decent in terms of actual power output. Even if you have very power hungry graphics card and CPU, you should still be in good shape. I have a 300W Fortron powering a 9800Pro and 2.66 GHz with one optical and one HDD.
If your PSU is marginal, you'd likely encounter reboots or freezing under load. But don't be so quick to finger the PSU. It might be any number of things, like drivers (happened to me), virus, bad or misconfigured memory, or a butterfly fluttering its wings in China.
