That panaflow looks pretty good, but isnt 30dba getting a little too loud? Whats the rule of the thumb for db ratings? Actually getting a high power fan and controlling it wouldnt be a bad idea. I'll have to look in it a little, sounds good but controlling it might be too much work... Thanks

Okay, thats good then, I'll go with 50cfm. Thanks! I checked out the link you provided and I've actually used the Silverstone FN121 listed there in my other build. I mean, as long as 50cfm is going to be good enough for my pc (as you stated it would), I dont want to add more noise to my pc. I'm...

I have a case fan in my computer that gets 33cfm, but it isnt quite keeping up (my case is around 40C). I need a 120mm fan that is quiet, but will pull a good amount of air. Would 50CFM be okay for my system? I see fans that get like 80-100cfm, but I'm afraid I would be overkill (like made for...

Hi! I first want to say, I dont know much about cooling at all. I built a computer with a Pentium D 805 a year ago. Everything's been great with it, except the stock cooler is so LOUD!!! Now, I'm not doing any overclocking with this, and that being said, I want your opinions on this cooler I...

Hi! I have a Pentium D 805 (775), and I'm looking for a low-noise hsf for it. The thing is, I'm using an mATX board and things look a little tight (even though its an ATX case). I also need something easy to install, and the budget is $20-40. The CPU is not overclocked. Thanks!

Sweet! Thanks a lot!

Okay, thanks. Honestly, 90% of the time, I'm using less that 25% of the core. I do work with editing and encoding video, but I dont do that a lot, and when I am, I could just turn the fan on. That brings me to my next concern. Is it okay to put the led fan up to a switch and just turn it...

Hello! I have a XION 403 case (see link for pic). It has a lighted led fan on the center of the side panel. Is this fan optional, or does it need to be running? (i have a rear exhaust fan too). The reason I ask is that I'm thinking about putting the fan up to a switch so I can turn the leds...

Well, there ya go. My stupid firewall WAS blocking it, lol. Thanks a lot for your help! At least now I can access my stupid server.

Whoa, I'm jealous. 16 friggin cores! That sure beats my two cores (pentium d).

I'm on a wireless connection under Windows XP. I did the little Home/Small Office network setup. I used my correct workgroup name, MSHOME. But, My Network Places doesnt come up (even after restart). I went to it in Windows Explorer, but when I click 'Show workgroup computers', it says it cant...

The computer I built has two DVD-burners. What I want to do is be able to copy a DVD from one drive, and burn it on to the single-layer DVD burner. Is there a program that would let me do this, without copying to the HDD first? Thanks

Hello! Can anyone tell me of a good, one-step, DVD-copier program? I know of ICopyDVDs2 (im using the trial) which is perfect, but the its like $50. I' hope to keep it under $20. Thanks.

Well, I did a little test. With HT enabled, it took 20 minutes to convert a file, but with it disabled it took 30 minutes. What type of weird stuff could happen? Am I hurting the cpu?

Uhm, no. I'm wondering why I have to enable hyperthreading in order to see 2 cpus, when my CPU isnt even hyperthreading.
