they're both good heatsinks, and probably will yield very very similar temps..
just that ax-7 only accepts 80mm fans i believe... while sk7 there's a little bit more variability.
sk7 is heavier, and longer... while ax-7 is wider. i think??
so how do u then connect the fan's red and black wires to the modified molex cable?
i modified the molex following the instructions seen here:
7 volt fan mod
how then.. do i connect this to my fan with bare red and black wires?
the psu fan is supposed to be an exhaust right? (i only have 1 fan in psu)
but i tried flipping it around, and it is so much quieter this way.
can i just leave it like this .. or is it not good for the system? it's an NMB.
i know the nmb is rated at ~19db (i use it for my psu currently)
but sometimes the quality of the sound of the fan can make it more discreet/silent (some fans are quiet, but whiny/rattle sound)
even tho the panaflo is rated at ~21db... how would you guys say it compares to the NMB...
as we all know... computers can be very fickle and unpredictable..
it just started worKing OK on its own... i don't know how and i don't know why... but i really don't care as long as it's working fine now.
i was installing my newly purchased ax-7 ... and the screwdriver came off a few times while pressure was on the clip. It didn't seem like i did any serious damage from the feel of it.. and inspecting the mobo itself..
but now...
every like 2 minutes or so... my computer will just pause for...
most fans seem to have 3pin connectors... but the fan in my psu has only 2.
if i wanted to replace the fan, how would i get a 3 pin fan to fit into a 2 pin connector?
any suggestions?
i quieted down my fan, and now the psu is driving me nuts... i need something that's SILENT, yet won't cost me an arm and leg...
any good suggestions?
I been trying to find a good fan.. and i came upon this one. Seems to be very effective and cheap.
anybody have experience with it?
I was also wondering.. how long is the cord for the fan speed adjusting unit? It looks very short.
the fan on my geforce was making this really annoying scratching noise.. and it eventually broke off.
is it ok to just have a heatsink with no fan on it? I've been using it like this for a while.. i hope it doesn't die.
i recently got in on the fry's 89 deal for xp2000+ and i just got some cheezy generic fan and it's so DAMN loud.
what do u guys think would be a viable alternative for a very quiet, effective fan that won't TOTALLY blow my wallet away?
do u think you can program it with cards not listed on the website? For example, i have a hauppage tv card, and i'm hoping to be able to use this remote with the tv card. do u think it will work?
Been lookin around for one.. anybody got a good deal??
thanks!
