Why go silent when you can make the whole neighborhood wake up when you power on the computer? Buy 5 or some odd tornados and throw them in there. Not only will you have your own personalized hovercraft for a computer, you'll keep the cops busy with all of the noise complaints.

haha that idea really made my evening complete.... the image formed in my mind....

With all the fans, just put the computer on the side, and the computer will float in mid-air because of the air pressure out of the box...... hahahahahahaha!!!!! :laugh:

req: i assume you mean, what heatsink AND fan combos... because i've never herd of someone just changing the fan on the retail heatsink.

get a thermaltake silentboost, or an slk-800/900 with a panaflo L1A silent fan.

sure i'm not gonna change fan on my stock heatsink, doesn't make sense right :)

i could buy separately or combo (like thermaltake volcano 9)

Well.. i've been reading reviews here and there online and the best combo i found (and using it myself =P) is the Thermalright SLK900U with Enermax UC-9FAB. This fan boasts 60+ CFM's at only around 40 dB's? correct me if im wrong. But it's a Lot quieter than the stock one that i had and it's a lot cooler too!

I have 2 tornados in my computer, soon to be 3 (the third one has been sitting outside wanting to wake the neighborhood for so long). No, really though, I have 2 tornados connected to a fan controller. Right now the 92mm is unplugged because I can't deal with the vibrations from it against the steel of my case. I do plan on buying another 92mm though, as soon as I get my DFI LanParty so that it'll sit on top of my SLK-900A like it's supposed to.

i second that.

its cool and quite. I used to run a volcano 11+... it ran warmer and pretty freeking loud.

I'm behind that.

I got a few people to switch to Vantec Aeroflow, cause it is the best quietest one for the money. Outstanding...IMO. (Y)

Eh, right now I can't hear the tornado at all. I have it turned all the way down to minimal voltage, and have music running. If I was really into extreme quiet, then I'm sure I'd go watercooling, but as it is, the hum isn't that bad when it's all the way down. It's when you turn the damn thing all the way up that it makes it sound like a helicopter is taking off in your computer.

And you will need to supliment these with at least 12 delta fans for that added harley davidson sound :D

plus its cheap enougt to buy.

Excellent choice! (Y) You will be blown away just taking it out of the package, I was, and so were others, it really is awesome! With my quiet HD, the only thing I currently hear is my case fan, which I am going to replace with a Vantec Steath fan. :D

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
