Are you using an eVGA 680i?

Hi, I'm starting this thread because my last thread lead onto this but had the completely wrong title so I'm not sure if the right people might look at it!! Basically here's the situation: E6700 was idling at stock speeds and stock fan @ 55-57 degrees E6700 idles now with Scythe...

OK, just turned off and pressed all the connectors down again. Although they all "clicked" before into place, one more clicked this time and my temps are 45 idle. What should I use to stress test my CPU? 44 is better than before, but surely something is wrong; the E6700 and a Scythe at idle...

Hi, Thanks for your reply - I'm now seriously concerned... I've just installed my Scythe Infinity, followed all the instructions but Core temp in nVidia is now 67 degrees idle (I'm shutting down in 30 secs and moving onto laptop). I installed the thermal paste correctly, the fan is...

Well in a sort of update: nVidia control panel reports CPU voltage of 1.33, and BIOS is set to AUTO. BIOS CPU temps consitently read 10-15 degrees lower than nVidia or Core Temps 0.94. BIOS: 44 degrees celcius Core Temp Beta 0.94: 55 degrees celcius nVidia: 57 degrees celcius...

Hi peeps, After running nTune to tweak my performance on a E6700 w/ eVGA 680i, I want to do the same with my new Scythe infinity - but first I want to measure temps before and after (@ stock speeds) - so what is the default voltage for the E6700?! I can't seem to find it anywhere... Cheers!

Well I sent it back to quietpc.com and they told me it was faulty, expecting the replacement on Monday...

Well, firstly I thought generic meant "no/unlisted brand" stuff, not "lesser heard of brand" stuff. Secondly I only bought it because Quiet PC list it as one of their top models, and to be fair it looked fairly smart! I read up as much as I could, but I could only find 1-2 reviews I think so I...

What do you mean? Do I buy generic equipment much?

Hi people, I have just plugged in my Nesteq Nova 600W and it seems to be pummelling out a lot of noise. The specs say the fans only kick in at 65 degrees, but it certainly isn't 0dB and it's only 26 degrees. Anyone else used one of these? I think it may be the noisiest bloody component...

What is the latest version of the Scythe Inifinity? Revision B? I think I'm going to get one, but want to make sure I get the best version! :)

Noctua? I haven't heard of that one, I'll have to look that up! Any recommendation on a fan?

Hi chrisf, thanks for that. That list doesn't take into account silence - I need the best near silent fan basically! Any ideas? Still Tuniq/Infinity/Ninja?

Any idea where to get them in the UK? :confused:
