you really want a super quiet pc? well the easiest way to get a super quiet pc and still be able to over clock the shnikies out of it is water cooling with pelts, if done right, nearly an inaudible system, period!

hey, those 8k rpm 50cfm 60mm delta kick arse on a sk-6 though, even if they do sound like a jet engine taking off

That is correct sir. My system is whisper quiet. Watercooling with 4 Panaflow L1A fans, 2 of which are running at 7V.

With running those panflow at 7v, what kind of temps do you get on average at idle and full load?

hmmm... yea, you may want to look into like an sk6 with a fan adapter for an 80mm fan and throw a panflo (really nice and quiet) on it.

Another option is to install small rubber washers on the fan screws of your existing unit to dampen the vibrations. You can pick them up at your local hardware store for less than a buck or just look around the house for a "donor object" that can be "modified" to work for ya.

Good luck,

scojo

Cool

panflo is a brand of fan that is pretty quiet, looks the same as a standard fan, just more quiet

Well obviously, someone needs to learn how to read, if you look at the post directly about mine, he asked what a panflo was. They should weed the stupid people out, then you really would be xsiled

well this is interesting...the really stupid one here is assnips. Can you do anything yourself or do you need people to post pics for you and search for you? try searching for panflo, go to their website and such
