[H] PC fan noise question

2009-04-06 Thread Bino Gopal
Hey guys, another quick question; hope you guys can steer me in the right direction. I've got an Dell Dimension XPS Gen3/4 circa 12/2004; it's a pretty beasty machine still (top-of-the-line back then) with its own monster tower case and dedicated power supply section on the bottom. I'm just

The latest Catalyst drivers have fan control so you can turn it down manually. Also, check your CPU temps as your heat sink might be clogged with dust causing the BIOS fan control to run full blast (that is if it's 4 pin mobo connection). SpeedFan is the best utility for fan control but only

How does anyone tolerate all that noise coming from a PC. End the PC noise! http://www.endpcnoise.com http://www.silentpcreview.com/ Get rid of the noise makers! A good case will let you swap out the other 80mm fans with 120 mm ones. Also, the various chipset fans can be loud. As can the

Hmm, ok on that note, what's the 1 Ghz for the splitter refer to-or the 4/0db unbalanced thing? I've got TW Cable at home and have it split 4 ways (this is after it's split once to the bedroom and living room from the junction box at the back of the apt) but the cable techs have tested the signal

During lunch I picked up a couple of CAT6 cables and a 1GHZ splitter. So far, the splitter is working nicely, modem is happy. Next will be the CAT6 cables, and, yes, both computers have gigabit network on board. One cable run is the std 15ft but probably CAT5 or less (not marked) and the

I guess you've already been inside the beast, so there is the possibility that you can replace the fan/heatsink on the CPU to something quieter and maybe cut down on the number of fans. My oldest system was really over-blown with fans (pun intended), so when it got too noisy, I just

It doesn't matter one bit. 192.x.x.x and 10.x.x.x are private only that they are non-routable address ranges. That means by design, any packet with a 10 or 192 header dropped on the internet will go nowhere. Which is why everyone can use them in their internal LAN without needing to reserve
