xfx geforce 6600gt

Hi, Did you ever get an answer to your question about the XFX GeForce 6600GT? I have the exact card and I've used it for 2 months now, no noise, no problems. I, like you, wanted a silent box so I went with this video card, a Lian Li PC-V1200 case and a Zalmon CPNS 7000 Cu CPU cooler. It's...

lian li pc60 power supply installation?

Hi CJP, I own a Lian Li PC-65B case and do not have this problem. The reason is the power supply unit itself. The earlier power supplies mounted the fan on the psu case without recessing the brackets. My Enermax 465PE has the hold down screws for the fan guard recessed and there's no problem...

Thinking of upping to 2000+

Hi Culex, Over at Toms hardware ( www.tomshardware.com ) they've completed a comparision of 65 cpu's, Intel and AMD. Your T-bird is listed there along with the XP2000. You could look over the charts and make an educated decision from there. If memory serves me right you'll see from 15 -25%...

SLK-800 Transportation question.

Hi Paco 83, The Socket 462 on an ATX M/B is rated for only 300 grams for transportation purposes. The Slk 800 weighs in at 505 grams. So "normal" transportation could damage the socket and hence the MOBO. However, I said "normal". Normal like UPS, Fed-Ex, USPS, Mom and Pops, etc. I have...

Whats the biggest Fan I can fit with SLK800 on 8RDA+ board?

Hi Human 2K, I have that cooler, but not the M/B. My cooler has a Vantec Tornado 80x80x38mm fan and I believe it should fit your M/B. I have the fan controlled because of the high noise generated at the high rated flow rate (84cfm) I currently run it at 4,400 rpm and find it meets my needs...

Case

Hi WetCat, Nice case!! and Good deal! It has a Chieftec/Antec type look and/or size about it. Antec I've purchased in the past also come with 2 fans stock. One in the back one in the front. If it is this type of case. then adding a rear fan and two front fans is real easy because there are...

Still waiting on 8INXP, but what ya think about A-Opens AX4RP?

Hi Hyperlite, Good question. I think the breakdown is more for features than actual performance. The boards for the most part perform within 1-2% of each other. The Asus and Gigabyte seem the have the most features. Aopen and MSI are in the next group, with Tyan and Iwill following the true...

Heat sink suggestions

Hi Griffan, Those temps would be about right for the stock heatsink and XP2000+. I like the others would suggest the SLK-800 as well. With my XP2000+ I started with the stocker, went to the Thermaltake Volcano 7 (not the plus) and finally the SLK-800. With the stocker my temps were like...

Has anyone here bought the Lian-Li PC-60 USB B case at newegg.com? How quiet are all 4 fans at full speed?

Hi ImTim, My first Lian Li case (PC-10) had three ADDA fans - AD0812HS-GL70 (2 sleeved bearing). They were rated at 3,000rpm and 38.6 cfm at 34dBa. The two front fans on high I could hear, but it was not bothersome. The current case I have (Lian Li PC-65B) has the four fans you mention, two...

HSF Advise - AX-7 or SLK-800, what fan?

Hi CptCaveman, Wow!! 75degC = 167degF and 40degC (case) = 104degF. That is hot! You didn't mention the cpu, but either way better cooling is in order. I'm using an SLK800 and love it. It replaced my Volcano 7 and I saw immediate results of 5degC lower. I also use a Vantec Tornado fan...

Is there such a thing as a bad mob manufacturer?

Motherboard recommendation

Hi KJacobs, For the intended use e.g. kids computer. DSL, Star Wars, etc. IMHO the KS5A with a Duron 1.3 would be fine for a start. The SX635 case comes with a 350W psu for the same price of $73.00 at www.newegg.com. One last thing. You'll need to get a good heatsink. Again I would suggest...

Temp question on Duron 1.3Ghz with ECS KS5A mobo

Hi Rottie, If you check the AMD web site, I think you'll find that the Volcano 5 is only certified to run up to and including the Duron 1100. The V5 is all alum. and poor cp/K. I would suggest a Volcano 7 if you can find one or Volcano 9 if not. The price should be around $15 - $20. Use a...

Super Quiet HSF for my XP1700

Hi CederTeeth, You didn't mention the type of Volcano heatsink you have, but my bet is that it's a Volcano 6 or 6+ with a loud Delta fan on it. The Theramlright AX7 is a good heatsink. Try this link: www.directron.com They have a good selection of fans and accessories. They also have good...

Enermax PS Airflow ?

Hi MysticLlama, Great handle! and cool case :-) As for the Enermax. I have one as well, but understand the fans on the power supply are thermatically controlled and for cooling the power supply unit only. The flow you feel would be about right. My psu fan runs about 1700 - 1800 rpm...
