As Sam knows I moved from a beige case to a black one of the same make with the exact same components. The only difference I noticed was the the black one was more sensitive to the ambient temperature. In other words if the room is warm, the black one will absorb more heat than the Beige one. My room is on the SW corner of the house, so the walls do get a bit warm in the summertime as they heat soak for about 8-9 hours.
BTW, my computer has been on all day yet the top above the PS is barely luke warm. That tells me that the new fan is doing a good job of circulating air as there's not much room between the top of the case and the PS!

"FANS - Case Cooling"
Hey guys, what ever happened to the noisy but performance barrel/drum and squirrel cage blower/exhaust fan units? I used to see a lot of these in the AMD Barton & Thorougbread days when ATX cases got so hot you needed then. THey were nothing quiet but got the job done if on a controller and thermal sensor. For you guys wanteing the best on air in hot climates, look into these. 1 or 2 of them is far more efficiant then 4 - 10 of the little ones most use to try and stuff in a mid tower ATX.
Also, to ones looking for better ATX case cooling, try moving to BTX ATX backward compatible server tower & mod to fit your needs for style. Use the 2nd EATX PWR for extra exhaust fan. 2 140mm in lower front and 2 140mm in upper and top rear will do pretty good if already utilizing BTX style CPU cooling and CPU intake tube/blower box.
You can find some aftermarket DC or AC fans used in server applications. I use PAPST AC on a DC powered solenoid off the mobo 3 wire for on/off controll of 12v to 120VAC. They are quieter on AC and great to intergrate into water cooled system too. (120mm x 40mm all metal is great for ATX rear exhaust if mounted on outside.
Just some more "on Air" cooling ideas
And that's what's clockin' like it over here!

The only time I've seen squirrel cage blowers these days are in laptops, and those PCI-slot exhaust fans. Whilst the former are certainly effective, the latter left me a little underwhelmed, it wasn't too loud but the noise character was terrible and it didn't move much air.

Hey Sam,
Tell you what I'll do! You buy one of those Silverstones and try it! If you don't like it, I'll give you the money back for it and you can keep the fan! I say this in front of God and this forum, that I've never seen any fan that moves so much air so quietly! Yes it can be very noisy at full speed, but at 1600 RPM this thing is very quiet and moves whole bunches of air! The biggest bonus is that the PS runs so much cooler. Before with the Cooler Master case fan the air was downright hot coming out of the PS. Now it's just warm! You won't even have to show me an invoice as your word is more than good enough for me. This thing is amazing and my temps have never been better!

Russ

I'm genuinely interested in the FM121. I swear by Nexus case fans, however 12V is just slightly too silent for me. A fan that's pretty mujch inaudible at 12V means it could go further and still be satisfactorily quiet. In the same way, your word is certainly enough for me to try one. Annoyingly a shop I placed an order with last week carries it, but I guess I'll setup a second order.

Sam,
There are 2 things about this fan that simply amaze me. The temperature of the air coming out of the PS is now barely warm. With the old fan it was hot. I know you have the same design Thermaltake as mine with the plastic covering part of the fan so it also has vents on the side of the PS that dump that ducted hot air into the case. The other thing is the speed control is the tiniest thing I've ever seen! I was expecting the control to get very hot but it's stone cold. Speaking of cold, my computer has been in constant use for the last 20 hours and the top of the computer over the PS is almost cold. There isn't another close to warm spot anywhere on the case except the PS exhaust, and thats not even close to hot. Even the exhaust port behind the rear fan is cold.
I ran 3DMark03 before and it kicked the HSF up to 1.6. I don't bother with 06 because I don't have a video card good enough to run that very well I ran PCMark05 and it hit 1.3! Here's the 3DMark03!
Not at all bad for what it is!
BTW, I pulled my floppy out as I haven't used it in months and installed the fan controller in it's place. The frame isn't long enough to reach the locks on the tool-less part and they are too short to reach with screws from the other side. I'll figure a way other than bending the sides outward. I ordered a black one which looks nice with the silver case. I wanted a little contrast and it looks nicer than the Beige floppy!

I think the whole point of 3dmark06 is that nobody has a video card to run it well, the point is not to get good fps, but for it to be a good test. I'm still interested! :-)

Mort81,
What surprises me is that the 7600GT is not that much faster then the X800GTO 16 piper that I had on the D-940. It did 11,837 and it was an 8x AGP. I wish there was something like the ATi Tool I had for it. I've heard of RivaTuner but it's a lot harder to use! I don't understand half of what the stuff in it is or does, so I leave well enough alone. LOL!!

"BENCHMARKING"
Can someone finally just creat a benchmark app for the office & media needs where for the most part, video is left out of the scenario except where CPU related.
Who is offering the test for open office, WinRAR, MP3 encoding and such. I too am not a big gamer. I build for that and use it but it is not as important to me as my CAD systems and media encoders. I need number crunching test apps. Like AutoCAD, SolidWorks and Maya?
My overclocked Intel D950 did better in Auto CAD then my AMD (939) in sig but the AotuGK trsncode was a good at a near head to head w/ AMD leading only by a few minutes. Here the double the L2 cache shows its performance.

the general pc benchmarking program is PcMark its on futuremarks site, you might need to buy it to get all your encoding speeds ect, but it does a through pc workout not realy dependant on graphics card.
I did have some other software i will have to try and dig it up and tell you what it is, there might be some open source pc benchmarking software, have a look on http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=138
must be some in there you will find usefull

If you think about it, the 7600, although a generation ahead is a mid-range card versus the top end position the X800 series took, so it seems reasonable that the two perform similarly.
Also, ATitool works for nVidia cards now, try it out!

sammorris,
I used CoolBits to overclock the 7600GT up to the 7600GT Fatal1ty Pro speeds. I get about the same 3DMark_03, but I was able to move the quality up a notch, as you can see by the screen shot. 650 on the core and 1600 on the memory clocks.
Not too bad for my $99 investment!

thats a nice chip you have in that 76 if it will hit 650core on stock volts. the best i have gotten out of mine is 615 (will go higher but causes issues) but my mem i can max at 820/1640.
with mine at that speed i just cleared 13000 last year with my 3400+ i havent tried 03 since. i get just umder 4k in 06 but my new cpu/ram only gave me about 200 more points than the 3400 even tho it scores more than triple in the cpu tests.
edit
i gave it a go just, on default settings with my 24/7 settings of 3ghz with my 76gt running 600core and 1500mem it did this
im tempted to change my settings so it will crack 15k :)

marsey99,
It will run at 670 and 1640 but it locks up 3DMark_03 during the first Wings of Fury test when the 2 bombers crash together. When you get it going again it tells you that it lost focus. By setting it to 650 and 1600 it allowed me to increase the video quality and still give me a little better 3DMark to boot! Heat doesn't seem to be an issue either! I think 03 is a very good test for video stability. With 06, it's hard to tell as it runs like it's wading in fudge to begin with!! LOL!!

It well should be a nice chip, as it was an important part of the luckiest week of my computer life! First Mort81 got me thinking when I made my intentions known that I was going to build another P5N-E for myself. He just simply asked me why I would do that after all the problems with Gina's 2 duff Asus motherboards! I got to thinking about that and opted for a GigaByte. While I was considering which one to buy, docTY turned me on to a deal on a v1.33 for $99. From that seller I came across some excellent G.Skill cas4 2x1GB memory, on sale for $129, which at the time I bought it was only a couple of dollars more than 2x512 cas4 Corsair XMS! Then the 7600GT went on sale for $99 and I wound up saving about $70 between all 3 items. BigDK was nice enough to PM me some suggestions for settings that helped a lot, and I haven't looked back since! For sure I would like to find that Dog whose stuff I stepped in! LOL!! Then to top it all off, it all went together like butter on toast and was up and running at 2.7 in less than 2 hours! No problems, and it worked first try. Even the 2 fans I bought and installed since, work exceptionally well and improved the cooling all around. I guess it's just a "lucky" computer, and it just keeps on getting better! LOL!!
BTW! I got 4200+ with 06 on this card stock, the one time I ran it! It may have even been even more but I just can't remember. I posted a question about that but I'm just too lazy to go back and look for it!
Clock On,
Russ

To me, 06 is a bit like the changes in Sandra. Most people don't have enough graphic card(s) to make it run properly. Then the question remains, which fps do you believe, much like the MIPS in Sandra. I personally believe it's easier to see what changes you made working with a broader scale!
Imagine what the world would be like if they did that with speedometers in cars! ROFLMAO! Better yet do it with the Radar guns! LOL!!! I once got stopped for speeding when I was cruising along with the cruise control set at just under the limit because I knew Brennen Texas was a speed trap. I had 4 witnesses that testified that they were watching the radar gun read 72 MPH, while it was pointing at a distant tree! They all asked about it and it was on the video tape! It was the only thing in sight for miles! I won that one. Of course, they wanted the cash in the car (about 160 Quid) and I refused! He even threatened to arrest the lot of us and jail us for the weekend and we all told him to go right ahead, that it would look real good on the lawsuit!LOL!! Got taken in front of a Judge and the case was dismissed!
BTW! Hope you get your fan soon. You're gonna love it! Even overclocked to the Fatal1ty Pro specs, it's only about 1-2C warmer than stock! The big plus is smoother 3D graphics at better speed. Battle of Proxycon looks so real, smooth and fast! Same thing with all the tests. In Troll's Lair, the trolls actually seem to move in real time, not slow motion! Wings of Fury looks like a real dogfight!

im a bit stuck for my next move. i want a 29xt but i think i will need a bigger psu too, but i could save a few quid and get teh 88gts and i think it would run ok on my 600w(38amps dual 12v line). thing is i dont want to get it now only to find out its a dog with dx10 when some kind of real bench is out.
my head hurts

is yours a 80nm gpu or an older one like mine russ?

As it happens, I've decided to order 3. If I do like the fan, I'm not paying double for postage to get more. What I do need to get though is better room ventilation, it gets incredibly hot in here, and that's almost certainly due to the two PCs. When I get back home at the end of term (4 weeks) I'm buying a portable A/C unit. I'll only have a small room wherever I am so it should prove quite potent.
With regard to the 2900XT, unless the driver changes keep upping the performance, the 8800 is better value, you can overclock the GTS loads, and it'll still be a lot quieter than the 2900. :P If you're only running one, a good 500W PSU will suffice for any graphics card you can buy. You just need to make sure if it's modular, the rails are sufficiently powerful.

marsey99,
According to the spec, it's 90nm. It was manufactured May 24,2006. Speed wise, it's just below the Fatal1ty Pro and easily exceeds the Fatal1ty specs. You can't see the GPU without removing the cooler, and I'm not about to do that at this point!
I just ran the full 3DMark_06 and I get this!
I was wrong about the 4200+. I can see 2 of these in an SLI setup.

I know all about cooling small rooms. Mine's just about 12'x12'. I have an 8000 btu Sharp window unit and a 32" Ceiling Fan/Light. As mentioned, it's on the SW corner so it get's lots of exposure to heat in the summertime. The biggest problem is that the house is 50 or so years old and the walls heat soak pretty good. It's also so dry here that it's difficult to cool because of the low humidity as there's very little moisture in the air to help remove heat. 8000 btu may seem like overkill, but at 110F/43C+, there's a lot of heat to remove.
Right now, believe it or not, the A64 4000+/TForce 939 is the hottest running PC in the house. Since I modded the heat sink on the D-940, it's earned second place as the coolest running PC in the house!
As far as the fan noise goes, the Silverstone can be very loud! At it's 2400 RPM full speed, it would be impossible to sleep in the same room, but drop it to 2100 and below the noise drops off sharply! At 1600, mine is very quiet! The only knock I have on it is the screw holes are solid so you can't use silicone mounts as there's no way to pull them through. i'm sure I could easily figure a way to do this but it isn't necessary. Still at 1600 RPM, it moves massive amounts of air quietly. Frequency is not an issue either! Like I said, given it's performance, it's worth the extra money!

Good good, I've ordered a large number of 3-pin to 4-pin adapters (the correct type, almost all the ones I see have female 3-pin plugs, no good to me!) and two Sunbeam Rheobus controllers (useful because they do 0-12V rather than 6 or above), to eliminate the need for the 3.5" bay. Can you run the FM121 without the 3.5" bay attached? if it will run at all (presumably at full speed) without the controller attached, I'll do it, otherwise I may have bought myself some useless fans, seeing as I don't have three 3.5" bays to put the controllers in.

No they won't work without it but that's not a problem. The speed control electronics are built into the fan. I was going to drill a hole in a 5.25 bay blank but my drills are at work till Monday. Fret not, the pot that control the speed is so tiny, they can mount almost anywhere you can make a hole for them. That's all there is on the supplied 3.50 bay mount. When you see it you'll see what I mean and LYAO at how small it is. The knob is bigger than the whole pot! The electronics have to be built into the fan because there's no heat at all at the pot so it's not just a potentiometer in a series circuit! It has to be electronic as the speed stays rock steady wherever you set it. I may mount mine at the back of the case as it's only there for an emergency anyway. I just need to drill a hole for it. There's enough wire to reach just about anywhere. The extra single yellow wire is for the speed sensor and plugs into one of the 3 or 4 wire plugs on the MB for me and my case 1600 RPM is perfect. You may not need to run it that fast with your case.
Eventually I'll mount it elsewhere and put my floppy back in, after I paint the plastic silver!
Best Regards,
Russ

Water Cooling - Pumps
Excuzzi! but who can help me identify the ATX start circut in the PSU? I need to locate the actual pin or lead from PSU 24pin that starts the ATX PWR so I can intergrate my old time delat circut into power on byy keyboard. This is where my Aquastream Modified 12V Eheim 1046 Pump is started before mobo gets the ATX on signal.
Currently, I have a timed relay circut (same as for cool down after CPU is off) on the PWR header on mobo for delay via case PWR button but mostly use keyboard and remote wake up and water in CPU block can get hot fast on warm day. Have you guys on water experimented with this yet. I know some new PSU's w/ high end ASUS mobo's can offer built in delay but most active PFC units switch so fast. My pump and fans are on controller and I would like for pump and fans to be in full effect before CPU is powered on, then step down after boot as needed.
I thought it was the green but want to confirm.
Thankx in advance,

Great News ASUS Owners
I'm updating my cooling system on several rigs and found newer better water blocks for power mosfets to fit fit several ASUS flag-ship mobos. I replaced my older aluminum blocks w/ full copper and also found a nice set of Thermalrite heatpipe stacks for the air cooled rigs.
Lots of others are finding the onboard heatpipe cooling to not hold up all that great on high OC's. So we'll see a better selection of mobo chip & PWR coolers out there.
