<< Here's a shot of the mainboard, the Gigabyte 7DXR. The first thing I noticed is the BIOS chip that unfortunately requires a cooling fan, an additional source of noise. >>




that's the north bridge...

I was just about to say the same thing. those new winking icons suck donkey balls.

 

[bandXtrb]

oh yeah? heh

Lets jsut say the pictures are the stronger part of the page

 

[bandXtrb]

yeah they really do suck... they're too traced :disgust:

 

[Sugadaddy]

nice pics BTW...

and what's up with that winiking icon? Looks like crap! (well, it goes well with the rest of this POS FuseTalk version...)

 

[Kitros]

Yay for an expensive upgrade!

[Joony]

nice pics, what digicam?

 

[SnowPunk98]

not bad, the bios fan gave me a smile I would paint your drives black and start moddin

You seem pretty concerned about noise as evidenced by spending the dough on the Noise Control Silverado and the Quiet power supply. I'm not sure what kind of fans your case has in it now, but if your rig is too loud, you might consider some Panaflo L1A's as replacements. Great system

 

[mcveigh]

nice system, nice review of it

 

[LanEvoVI]

Nice pics! good job w/ the new rig.

 

[heffe734]

drill some holes into that beast and maybe a window mod...but good job!

 

[bandXtrb]

thanks guys!

The camera is a Canon G1.

Yes, right now the noise is pretty bad. I am going to move to the hard disk to a SilentDrive enclosure, but I'm not sure about the heat. Yeah, I'll have to get new case fans anyway.

Looks like you have three 80mm fans in there right now. Nothing will lower your noise level faster than new case fans!!!

55 degrees celcius?

did you overclock your cpu?

my 1.33 is at 1.46 and tops off at 47 degrees celcius when active

 

[Brade]

yeah bumboy i was gunna point out the same thing. my 1.2 is at 1.46 and its at 48c. i dont really know much about that heatsink fan combo he's using but i guess its targeted towards noise more so then cooling.
