Does anyone know if it is possible to use passive cooling for the nForce4 chip? On motherboards like the Gigabyte K8NXP-9 and the Asus A8N SLI the chip is...
Hmm, the thing I love about computers is that not a day goes by you don't learn something new... So, I just got an Antec Sonata and an Asus P4P800E Deluxe....
... Jim, Your observation about PSU's fan control not ideal to control case fans is legitimate. However, if I were you, I'm more interested in to know what ...
I am not sure if it is quite as passive as you mean Will, but the Zallman Reserator 1 can be equipped with an adaptor to cool the GPU as well as the processor....
I slightly disagree Naoyuki. Without knowing the Sonata case; I would have the exhaust fan running faster that the feed fan, creating a negative pressure...
... So, at the very least, I should probably get identical fans for the front and rear. Even if I want to tweak the speeds to create negative pressure,...
I have a MB with a nForce3, not a nForce4. Please excuse me if my experience is not applicable but I think it should be the same. The manufacturer is Gigabyte...
I have a socket-A AthlonXP with a loud CPU fan. For ages, I have been meaning to replace that heatsink and fan with something more quiet. But, it is very hard...
With many cases today, the idea of "negative pressure" and matching of intake and exhaust is somewhat silly. It is amazing how many cases have ventilation...
The trick to Panaflo's and RPM monitoring is to look for 'BX' added to the end of the model (since it's an option). Panasonic doesn't make some sizes/speeds in...
... You do not need to be anal about "perfectly balanced fans", especially when you vary the fan speed. They do behave differently based on the surround air...
... I completely agree with you. For some machines, I ducttape (from inside for appearance reason) these holes. If there is an unused fan mounts, they also...
Tai, In the "real world" of business, computers with intake air filtration often die prematurely. It seems that too many folks don't clean or change the...
Dennis, Dallas is *not* known as being dust free at all! Much depends upon where you *put* a computer, as I said. KEEP THEM OFF THE FLOOR and you are halfway...
... I don't think there's much "roughly" about it. If the two weren't balanced (after a very short initial stabilization period) you'd soon suffer a ...
Hmmm, although you are correct Roger. I have a little difficulty seeing an 80mm fan causing a steel PC case to implode. Or even a couple of them. But I would...
I have one to spare, so acutioning it at ebay. Just incase any of you are interested. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6736553859 VIA...
Silly question Ankit, but are you happy with the one (?) that you are keeping? A few people on this feedback group have said a few unflattering things about...
... You know, now that I think about it, you are right. The Antec Sonata has the word "Antec" drilled into both sides of the case at the top. Yet... It has a...
I have a PC in a bedroom and its real loud. It has 2 exhaust fans and a CPU fan.. I looked at silentpcreview.com and the Antec Sonota is one that is avialble...
I had the Sonata and is not as quite as you would think. The PS fan gets pretty warm and speeds up fairly quickly. ... __________________________________ Do...
... First off, there are dozens of reviews of this case on the web. Just google for "Antec Sonata Review". I just got a Sonata for Christmas to keep my new...
Dear Todd, Sorry, but I've been away for a bit. I have been using the SilentX CPU coolers for a while and they are very quiet. They are also heavy and...
Dear Mados, I have been working on quieting for a while and the problem with almost all 40mm fans is that they are loud and don't move much air. So you are now...
Dear Arthur, Sorry I am so far behind in my reading but I repair computers and power supplies rarely fail. Hard drives and motherboards are far more common....
... Hi Jim, Talking about the Q-Fan technology, my A7V8X also has this option, I used to use this in the past, but since I know use my old Zalman CNPS6000Cu...
