McPhee Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 What sort of computer have you got? The Freezer Pro is the best value for money, but you can't beat the Sythe Ninja for silence (on my buy list for sure, just got to pluck up the courage to fit a new GPU cooler) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirtynine. Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Its just a pretty standard desktop computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Arctic Cooler 7 then, it's more than enough cooler for that and 100 times better than the crap that Intel use as stock fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twozzok Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I'm pretty sure Pentium 4 used Socket 478, not LGA775... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 They used both, early chips used 478 and then they moved to 775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twozzok Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Haha shit, I missed where it said the socket type on what thirtynine posted. Question to thirtynine, is it a tower or an actual desktop that lays flat on the desk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirtynine. Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Right so, I got my fan, installed it, but its bloody loud, i need to reduce its RPM atm its spinning at 2600RPM and its pretty loud, can anyone tell me how to make it slower?

McPhee Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 AFAIK you need to do it in the bios, the freezer 7 doesn't have an built-in fan controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirtynine. Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Yeah, i figured i went through the bios but didnt want to piss around with it too much when i dont really know what im doing, anyone has advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Difficult to help really, different model motherboards have different bios' Note down the model and i'll see what i can find You basically want to decrease the voltage to the CPU fan, probably in 0.5V steps until you are happy with temps + noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
