the most noise they make, is the noise of rushing air... i like them, theyre indeed very quiet for such a fast fan. my noiseblocker is also quiet,but a little louder, in my opinion

buy you enermax magma. i own both the noiseblocker black silent x2,and these babies....
they do twice the air pressure, and move more air. also they should have 18dba/max;)

The dB info is usually so biased info i'm not relying too much on it. But indeed i haven't used Magma fans yet.

the most noise they make, is the noise of rushing air... i like them, theyre indeed very quiet for such a fast fan. my noiseblocker is also quiet,but a little louder, in my opinion

I've got one of the Enermax Magnetic Barometric 120mm in my dad's pc and that thing is dead silent even with the case sitting on the desk next to you. So, I'd believe the Magma ones are good too. I just would like the NB because you can get them at a higher rpm. I've got one of those Cooler Master Gentle Typhoon like fan. I love it because for a 2000 rpm fan I has no motor noise and the only noise it makes is from the air. I was going to run two when I get my IFX-14, but I've heard that they arn't very good for heat sink coolers and that is why I was looking at the NB because they make such little noise from the video I've heard.

I agree on the db info that is why I asked. I usually will go with a fan from a manufacturer that I've had before since I assume that they use the same way of rating db for all their fans, I have an idea of what to expect.

Looks like you have a pretty nice workshop going in your room. I'm assuming your mother's computer is lying on its side so you can install her blue LED feet?:)

What do you mean by "Self Built" LCD? I haven't noticed it in previous posts.

How do you like that Noiseblocker? I havn't been able to find many people using them. Probably because they are not really cheap but looks like they have really good noise to airflow ratio. Did you run anything else that you would compare them to that most others would consider quiet?

I completely overlooked this one :D

I use two noisblockers, XL2 I believe. They move a "normal" amount of air, not too little but not very much either, and they are almost inaudible to me.
The CoolerMaster standard case fans I have move less air and make a little more sound. The only quieter fans I have are Nexus fans, which move a little less air but are near-zero sound.

On a completely other notice, I just received a replacement sidepanel for my NZXT rogue :rockout:
I mentioned earlier in this thread that NZXT customer service was very quick in replying to my request, but besides that they have also shipped me a mint, brand new sidepanel without charge, all the way from the US of A!

I sent them an email that this is customer service as it was meant to be :D I'm really impressed.:respect:

Mah rig's overgone a pretty major overhaul in the last couple weeks. I think this is what she'll look like for awhile.

Very nice looking, clean job. I too was wondering about the medieval looking torture strap around the PSU. "Bad PSU! Off to the rack with you!" or: "How does that feel, a little tight? Well let me tighten it some more then! Ha Ha Ha!"

Just took my case out to the shop and gave it a thorough blowing out. I have an oil/water seperator on my compressor, so no cans needed, infinate air. Man, I forgot how quiet it is when it's clean.

That strap is there for excessive overclocking....No matter how hard you beat your PSU for more juice it has to stay there and take it...lol Honestly I think it might be there for travel as it is a LANcool case, secondly it has to help with any vibrations.

I really like the glow, I thing cathodes may be next on my list. I have an old Sapphire 9600Pro I have been staring at wondering if it would help my rig out. I also have a 4870 installed. What changes did you notice after the 9600? Are you just using it for physics?

Also, really like the lamp shade.;)

I built a new computer for my brother, well... new for him.:rolleyes: Anyway about 7 years ago he dropped a grand into his build, I spent about a 150 bucks on the new build. The hardware is old but still out performs the dinosaur he had before.:laugh:

Before: :shadedshu :slap:

Asus nForce2 mobo, ATI 128mb 64 bit AGP card, Athlon XP 2.0Ghz, 1GB ram, 400w PSU


After: :toast:

Evga nForce4 mobo, Evga 7600GT 256mb 128 bit pci-e card, Athlon 64 X2 2.0Ghz, 3GB ram, 500w PSU

The 2nd 7600GT is on it's way for SLI :)

I just upgraded from an Athalon 64 x2 this summer, even thought I found it to still be quite capable. Looks a crap load better after you got ahold of it. Nice job.

haha, well as of right now, no benefits are being gained from it at all. I got it intending it to be used for 24/7 folding and/or physx, but I've been having a shit time getting it set up and it doesn't help that I'm a tard.

you tried to remove the card and then install the ATI drivers then add the Nvidia card and install there drivers? Also you have it set in the bios so both PCI-E slots are active?

Oh, I've went through the whole shibang with the help of a few people. I'm just going to put it in my old rig for folding once I can find a molex splitter.
