well, i'm gonna get a xp-90 soon, and i want quiet, but i dont wanna lack in the performance department. so i thought, "hey, maybe i could get a tornardo (super loud) and get a fan controller to tone it down"

now, i find myself looking for a fan controller. i like the Vantec Nexus 201 4 Fan Controller, but, it only controls 4 fans. i have (or will have) a tornado and 4 other case fans. maybe panaflos.

that means i need at least a 5 fan speed controller. i need it in black, and i just need to be able to up or down the fan speeds. i dont need a fan controller that tells me the weather. :p

anyone know of one? i'll keep searching. something's gotta show up...
 
alright. i dont think i need the fan controller afterall. i think i'm gonna go w/ 4 Vantec Stealth 80mm Case fans. that should keep the air moving.

then, i can just get better cooling for the things i need better cooling on. i can get the tornado w/ a fan controller, and i can put an NV Silencer 5 on my video card to keep that cool.

now i just need to look for a nifty little 1 fan controller. maybe the zalman fan mate.

do you think this cooling setup is sufficient enough for OC'ing a 3400+ to 2.5ghz and a 6800GT to Ultra speeds?

*edit and of course i'm gonna put AS5 on everything!
 
get panaflo's.. move more air then the stealth's. m1a's are nice.. if they are too loud, you just 7v em...
<edit> actually... use all panaflo's at 12v the nv silencer is louder then my 120 mm m1a at 12v(people complain that 120 m1a is loud)
</edit>
 
my M1A isn't loud at all, and cools great. At least try it out, I think you'll be pleased.

the people who want there voltage regulators/memory to be quieter(they squeek, verry quiet, but they do) consiter the panaflo's loud

btw... why are you damning abit...
 
I damn Abit because I had to RMA my IC7-G 3 times for the fan completely shooting off ( NB ) and ripping the hook points off due to faulty cold solder.

Also, 1 of those boards had a cap blow under non OC'd conditions, and my current board has faulty voltage regulation of the ram at 2.8v or higher ( rev 1.1 )

They charged an enthusiast level price for a crap board is my main beef, only recently admitting they cut corners on making it.

i like my ic7, never had problems with it.. perhaps there IC7-G +max3 is lower quality?
3 motherboards all 3 came in working condition...(two friends and myself)
