The October issue of Consumer Reports, which I just got today, took a look at a new Dell computer that uses a graphics card that runs on the PCI express slot. ...
just saying, i've chased down more than one PC gremlin that turned out to be a power supply, last thing you want is to be swapping all your components just to...
Here's an interesting article from Cnet on PC heat and noise that I think most of us will relate to: http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-3000_7-5501412-1.html ...
Last month's Consumer Reports had a round-up of PCs in general. I wrote them to point out that they completely neglected noise level when evaluating machines,...
http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/messageview.php?catid=18&threadid=353198 sounds good, even has a link to a review, but some of the posts do point out the risks...
got a link or more details (brand, dB, cfm, etc)? Thickness doesn't really matter, more concerned with sound level (dB) & price since every 120mm moves a fair...
I already have about a dozen 120mm fans laying around here but they're so incredibly loud they're unusable for my purposes and at 5v they no longer work, which...
... Pana's 120mm usually works fine with 5v. L (P120L1A) or M (P120M1A) is the way to go. Do not get H. It makes clicking noise even at 5v. If you can get,...
You found Panaflo's for $5 each on ebay?? Where... when? Found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6704381257 but everyone wants more...
I want to buy a case including power supply. This is not for my home machine, but for a machine at work, so anything decently quiet will do. I heard good...
Dear Dirk, The new case SLK2650-BQE is superior over the SLK3700-BQE. It has the new CPU duck for better air flow to keep the case cooler. We can sell you the...
Hi, I notice that Sapphire's RADEON 9600XT Ultimate is passivly cooled. Performance appears to be about the same or better than an Nvidia 5700 Ultra. You can...
I just found this card: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=14-125-142&depa=0 Gigabyte 6800 (non GT or Ultra, but still a 6800!) with...
Hi All, I am embedded system designer and we have have a requirement where we cannot use FAN nor some water based cooling of our product. We are using Motorola...
I use 12 cm Globefans and I'm very happy with them. The price in Spain is around 7 ˆ. They don't start at 5 VDC but they do work at 5 VDC (they are thermo...
Hi all, specially Spanish guys. Although it's really difficult to get Panaflo fans in Spain (even in the rest of the world), I managed to buy some Panaflo...
The PAPST are cheaper in www.alternate.es. In any case, I'll stay with the Globefans. They work better with PWM. [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Hi, I'm using a Barton on an Asus A7V8X-X wich is the worst for a silence-based system So I'm looking for a mobo that : - Accepts Barton - allows massiv...
... Heatpipe moves heat from one point to the other quickly, and it does not cool by itself. Cooling still needs to be done by spreading heat to the open air. ...
... I have an ASUS A7V400. Probably similar to yours but no 200MHz FSB. One of two headers does fan control with Speedfan -- and I have only one fan anyway....
Thank you for these reviews. Uh, when I said cheap, I meant cheaper is always better, but I think I ask to much to get a cheap mobo. If you know an expensive...
... If there were a motherboard that does what you want, I'd like to know too. But, there is always a trade-off. The world is not perfect. So, you pick one or...
