The ASUS P45 Owner's Club

Oh, looks pretty much the same as the 690 to me. Ill read up a bit more before I speak in future

 

[alexp999]

lol.

I still prefer my Sniper and I'm glad i got it, but that ATCS 840 does have a few things I love, like removable fan filters for the PSU and bottom fan which you can get to without removing the fans/PSU.

I think its great value for money, but I cant warrant the cost (if that makes sense)

 

[BababooeyHTJ]

It has a front 230mm fan, two top 230mm fans and a bottom 140mm fan. If that had a window, I would have had to physically restrain myself from spending another £75-100

That window can be modded in my friend, and it will be. Thats my next toy. Your also forgetting about the 2 120mm fans that can be mounted on the end of the hard drive bays to blow on my memory and vrms on my video card. It's all Aluminum, too. The more I look at it the more I start to think my Antec 1200 is ugly.

How is that Sniper, btw?

 

[alexp999]

Yeah but I cant mod to save my life.

And sniper is great, I'll get some pics up once I have got the cathodes installed

Nice, I can't wait. I acctually just heard of it for the first time a couple of hours ago and it has a very clean design. I like it.

You stick cathode lights in and say you can't mod to save your life.. even something as simple as a cathode light is classed as modding

Well guys my new Cooler Master Cosmos S case arrived today (yes i have the window too) I just got her all set up. Man this case is freakin HUGE!! Compared to my 900, I can almost fit the 900 inside this case lol! I'll take some pictures soon for your eyeballs
Right now Im not doing anything as far as modding goes. Im going to wait for till I get the cash for my water loops that Im installing. There will be a 360mm rad on the top inside, and maybe another 240mm rad in the front 5.25 bays for the VGA(s). When I get all of that stuff, I will be painting the inside either black or red. My tubing is going to be all black with red coolant And Im removing the red cathodes and installing white ones instead. Pic coming soon!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I am also a proud owner of a new CORSAIR HX1000W PSU (this psu is huge aswell, almost weighs as much as the case did empty!)

Should I keep the old case and PSU as "back-ups" or just sell it. They are both right at 5 weeks old~give or take a few days.

Oh yea.. i was wondering somthing...

I have this Q9550 running @3.83Ghz w/1.33v compared to the norm 2.83Ghz w/1.25v. You think thats good.. or could I go lower on the volts and be good to go?(I ran 2hours of prime95 blend tests and it is stable)

I'd definitely lower them notch by notch til ya hit the one that crashes.

By modding I mean cutting up the case, lol.

 

[aCid888*]

To do that case justice you have to leave it stock on the outside and black on the inside....it'll look dapper then.


But on a note of the case; why did you update it? And for that matter, why did you update the PSU too? (aside from the huge e-peen it gives you)

You old parts aren't as good, we all know this, but why spend more money (a lot of it at that) on new stuff when the old (5 weeks!?) parts did the job.

 

[aCid888*]

Wow...a silent P45 club!


Who'd believe it!

 

[Ketxxx]

My PC is near silent.. an will be even quieter when my 4830 comes back an I put the VF900 back on

 

[MoonPig]

My ... desk is silent. Helps when im sleeping

 

[kyle2020]

My 690 is pretty quiet, just the "whoosh" of the air from the fans

Its lit up like a christmas tree though due to the 2 ble LED fans in it. Ill have to replace them, they do my head in when im running her overnight.

Oh and moon, premiums on its way to you

 

[MoonPig]

Cool, thanks a bunch matey.

I have 4 of these spare if you want 2, £2.50 each

They are 3 pin connectors arent they?

 

[MoonPig]

yerp.

 

[kyle2020]

Is there any way of wiring 2 fans together so that they can run off one power source? like just splicing the wires togther? Its just I have no spare 3 pin headers on my motherboard, and I dont want to have to buy adapters.

 

[MoonPig]

I have 3pin power splitters. I use them on my front and back fans. I can give you one of these aswell.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

This is what i use-

4 fans powered from one molex,with a switch.

 

[MoonPig]

Can someone find me a simple case on ebuyer that matches this:
- Less that £50
- PSU at the top
- Good Airflow
- Prefably no LEDs
- Black or a stylish silver
- mATX and ATX
- 4 x 5.25, at least

Thanks boys.

Best imo upto £50

Theres a black one that looks like an alienware case too.

 

[MoonPig]

I want the antec300. But the PSU at the bottom isn't good with this build...
