In a message dated 11/29/02 4:19:24 AM Central Standard Time, ... I don't know if the new heatpipe heatsink from Zalman will fit without taking up a PCI slot...
Yeah that's also what I call a heatsink, but two problems #1 who has room for that Monster, #2 probably only work on cases where the MB is Horizontal!...
I think the SLK-800 is actually pretty secure with its stiff three-prong clip. It's also not too tall, so even though it weighs a good amount, it generates...
I have the exact same 'late nite tv sound' as you describe it, but mine is coming from the PSU (Q-technology 400W, dual fan). I don't think it's coming from...
Yeah but 505 g without a fan is still pushing it, and yeah that is what I was getting at if you mounted that thing on a vertical motherboard it could snap...
... I had the same problem with my 300W Q-technology PSU. I emailed their support a couple times asking about it and they said the main reason this happens is...
Video Card? I have a Matrox, never had any problems, and in what way does a video card affect the PSU? Does Q-Tech expect me to change my Matrox just because...
Hi, I'm aware that nothing can beat the Barracudas in terms of noise level, and I have 3 of them in various PCs. However I'm trying to build a fileserver with...
... The 120GB Barracuda V is available. I bought two for a fileserver. Can't really tell how quiet it is since there is two much other noise where I am using...
I'm going to add a question to this topic. Have anybody here tested the new Maxtor FDB drives (7200 rpm -> DiamondMax Plus 9 and 5400 rpm -> DiamondMax 16) and...
I don't know if this model has been recommended yet but I've heard from storagereview.com that the Lite-On 16x model only spins at 1x when playing DVD's and...
FYI, a blue orb definately takes up a PCI slot and is definately not quiet, unless this is different from the blue orb I am familiar with. A possible solution...
If you remind me, I'll check when I receive my DELL 8200 (I think I got a dimension with a P4). I'm expecting it around the 2nd week of december, although I...
Pardon my ignorance if you have been asked before or this has been discussed, but what is your specific method for running the papst at 4v? resistance? if so...
... Actually, the IBM 120 GXP and 180 GXP aren't very noisy. The Barracuda IV *in my setup* is clearly louder then both (suspended in foam), especially...
... I know you don't ask me, specifically, but I built a simple voltage regulator setup. It's about $5 or so in electronic components for one regulator. I have...
I read a review of the SK41G today - allowing you to run an Athlon **FANLESS**!! Egads! Looks like it could be a nice replacement for my aging P-III 450-ish...
My video card's fan (on Nvidia geforce4) makes far too much noise. After extensive research I found that Titan's TTC-CUV1AB video card replacement heatsink/fan...
You're better off with a Zalman fan bracket 165 or 123 + quiet 80-92mm fan of your choice. www.silentpcreview.com ... From: "j_scherf" <j_scherf@...> To:...
I just received a Seasonic PSU #SS-300FS. I ordered the 'APFC' model (SS-300FS-APFC). The unit I received doesn't say "APFC" anywhere except on the packing...

not really fanless -- the heatsink is turned into a radiator at the back of the case, which needs a fan. heatpipes are cool though. ... From: plymptonia...
As an e-tailer of Seasonic, I may be able to help. The label should clearly state, " Model: SS-300FS Active PFC". Models at this size and smaller are sold with...
I am waiting to see the next release which is supposed to have the Nforce2 chipset, which means onboard graphics equivalent to Geforce4MX, I don't mind one...
Hi, I'm new to this group. I have two IBM 120GXP drives, one 80 and one 40GB. The 40GB has started to make a very loud whine the last months (I bought it in...
... Hmm, that's bad. My 80Gb is very silent, it's around 10 months now. It's up 14-24 hours a day (25 once:) ). ... Can't you use the warranty to get a new...
