Well the guy who works there isn't in a technical position of any kind so who knows.
the PS is an Enermax EG365P-VE FMA 350W 32A@3.3V 32A@5V 26A@12V
Memory is Corsair ValueSelect DDR400 512MB x 2 pack.
HSF is Thermaltake TR2-M12. Copper 80mm 32.4 CFM. Its supposed to be good up to Prescott...
Ok, so my brother got a free P4 3.2 form a guy his girlfriend knows. I guess Intel gives processors to their employees or something. Anyway, I was putting a system together for him. There was no intention of overclocking and he wanted to keep the price down so I chose the inexpensive ECS PF1...
You could always test everything individually. Take everything out of your case and run then one at a time. That includes your CPU fan and your video card. Just take the CPU out as well. So the first thing that gets tested is your Power Supply. Then plug in each fan separately so you can compare...
Yeah, I'm about to do the same. Mainly to reduce noise. I doesn't make sense why they do that. The least the could is have more open space than metal, but most of the time there is twice as much air flow blocked than allowed. Yours are really bad though.
Audio comparison of many different fans. Has specs for each fan and an audio file you can listen to.
Got the link from here, which is an other usfull source.
Overclockers comparison of Watercooling and Heatsinks
As you can see the HydroCool is the top dog for kits and pretty close to the top for anything. And if you scroll way down you will find your CoolerMaster HHC-001 with a 36CFM fan which doesn't even come close. As you can see it takes on hell...
"This "tip-magnetic" design eliminates the major noise source..."
The fan on that Aeroflow isn't as quiet as they would like you to believe. I bought just the fan and it was more than twice (probably more like three times) as loud as the fan I had in there(that and my Enermax PSU couldn't be...
There is no greater sin than central air....
Its great, when its on my basment is nice and chilli. So much that my case temp is about 28C with out case fans :D
As for overkill, that?s all relative. As your case gets hotter the more air flow you need. Bu the important think is to have same amount of air flowing as out. Imbalance in either direction creates different problems. And you're going to have dust no mater what, unless you put filters on you...
Yeah, I just got an 80mm Vantec Stealth for my intake and there is some noticeable noise when mounted. It is near silent when not mounted so I'm sure it?s how they put the holes in the case. There is almost as much metal as space for air to flow through. That and the fan doesn't screw directly...
