    Noctua's low noise/ultra-low noise adapters?

    I found that two of these came with my Noctua P12 fan. Can these be used on a 120mm fan from a different company? Right now I have a Scythe GentleTyphoon blowing air out of the back of my system and it's kind of loud. Would it be possible to use the Noctua adatper on that fan to slow down the...

    Is plugging a 200mm fan into the motherboard harmful to it?

    I have a CoolerMaster HAF922 and a CoolerMater 200mm fan mounted to the side of my case. It's specs are: 0.40A 12V 900RPM When I plug it's 3-pin connector directly into my motherboard (ASUS P6T Deluxe v2), BIOS flags the RPMs in red and shows them at about 544 or so. When I use the...

    Rubber screws to hold 200mm fan?

    Sweet, maybe that's just what I need then. I don't have much space between the outter edge of the fan and my megahalem so I think grommets are out, but this screw might just be the ticket. How about acoustic padding? Does that really dampen sound as well as people claim? I might decide to...

    Rubber screws to hold 200mm fan?

    Will those hold a 200mm fan? They're slightly heavier than a normal 120mm or so.

    Rubber screws to hold 200mm fan?

    The 200mm coolermaster fan I have on the side of my case likes to make a low-pitched hum and it sometimes bothers me. I figured some rubber grommets or some rubber fan screws would quiet it down a bit. Any suggestions or do they even make such a thing or would I be better off investing in some...

    High temps with Megahalem on 920 d0?

    Yes to both. HT is on and I had all 8 cores loaded to the max with prime95. So I guess I have nothing to really worry about then. Guess I was just paranoid for nothing. I have to remember that this CPU runs hotter than the older Core 2's and Quads. Then again coming from a p4 northwood to...

    High temps with Megahalem on 920 d0?

    I had it running while prime was going, so it maxed out at 2.8 GHz until I stopped the test after about 15 minutes. Highest I think the temp got was 63 for a brief second or so. I was just wondering why my idle temps were so high. I see some people have temps in the high 20's to lower 30's...

    High temps with Megahalem on 920 d0?

    Noctua P12 for the fan. Arctic Silver 5 for the paste, and no, I did not lap it as the instructions tell you not too and I'm not planning on O/C'ing much, if any.

    High temps with Megahalem on 920 d0?

    So I swapped out my Zalman 9900 for a Megahalem from Prolimatech expecting a temperature decrease. However, things don't seem to have improved very much. They're about the same actually. Processor is a 920 d0 and my idle temps are 38,35,35,35 with an ambient temperature of about 24-25c at...

    Quick question about 200mm fans and mobo connectors!

    I just installed another CoolerMaster 200mm fan onto the side of my HAF 922 and was wondering if it was okay to plug it directly into the motherboard. I had it set up this way at first, and the noise was quite bearable. I went into BIOS and noticed that the BIOS had flagged it's RPM's in red...

    Question on Corsair XMS TR3X6G1600C8 G kit. How do I get it to PC-1600?

    Like the title suggests, my memory defaults to 9-9-9-24 and is rated for 8-8-8-24. I have an ASUS P6T Deluxe v2 and in the BIOS, I can enable XMP and it will find the right timings, but then it sets the DRAM voltage to 1.66 which is over the 1.65 limit Intel suggests (which I was running for 2...

    Are these temps normal for i7 920?

    Hmm....would definitely love to have your temps at idle! I understand the i7 is a hot chip and I've never had any issues running anything, but I'm just worried that my idle temps are too high. As for moving the bracket, that we before I screwed down the actual heatsink. I didn't try to move...

    Are these temps normal for i7 920?

    The thing is I see posts (like the one above) all over the internet where people get in the upper 20's idle, and I'm not seeing that. Perhaps I should remount with a different application style of AS5 and tighten the screws all the way down until they don't budge? I'm assuming that won't crush...

    Are these temps normal for i7 920?

    I have a 920 with a Zalman 9900 mounted to it. At stock speeds and a processor load of about 2% @ ~1600 MHz using RealTemp, it reports that my idle temps for my cores are 41-40-39-39 with an ambient room temp of about 26-27c. Is this normal? After about 10 minutes of Prime95 w/small FFTs, it...
