4/18 Has anyone tried those liquid CPU cooler? How much noise does it reduce? I have an AMD and I'm not sure whether the noise is from the CPU fan, power supply fan, gaming card fan, or the motherboard chipset fan. If you have those cool liquid coolers, how much did you spend on it and do you think its worth it? \_ If you want a quiet computer, it is most effective to tackle all sources of noise at once. http://www.endpcnoise.com \_ A colleague of mine bought a Zalman TN1500A, with a bunch of super quiet fans (Papst?) from http://quietpc.com. He has a load of SATA disk in there, and the thing is dead silent. Costs a bunch, though. -John \_ they have a really quiet power supply I'd like to get (350W and less than 20db? That's just amazing). But how do I know if it will fit in my enclosure? The web site has no spec \_ Google? :) Seriously though, also look at papst fans. I've had trouble finding resellers, though. -John \_ The advertised decibal rating is MISLEADING. They claim 19dB, but don't tell you that it's under light load. If you look at specs here: http://www.nexustek.nl/nx3500.htm you'll see that at full load, it is near 30dB. |
