gundamz2001 Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Hi I just built a new computer with spec in my signature below. Everything seems to work fine after setting the bios found within this forum. However the problem with this computer is too noisy. After inspection, it's both the fan on 6800GT card and the chipset stock fan. I'm ordering a new cooling fan (NV silencer 5) and hopefully it'll reduce the noise coming from the graphic card. And what can I do about the chipset stock fan? Do I get a defective one? Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I'm afraid you don't have many solutions, your pciex video card is exactly placed above chipset fan, so you'll have to find something very slim - and the noise will be the same. I have experienced the same issue, I tryed to change the video card on the second pciex slot but it wasn't worked. If there is a solution to change the chipset fan, I would like to know.

gundamz2001 Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 so I guess my motherboard is ok since you considered your chipset fan loud too ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dippyskoodlez Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 so I guess my motherboard is ok since you considered your chipset fan loud too ? I dunno.. Mines absolutely silent... full speed. :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundamz2001 Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 it's not too hot .. I'm at my office now .. but when I check bios last nite . the temp is around 40 .. but the fan is cosistently running at 3800~5000 rpm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Mine is 43@4600 - is a little bit too hot (from 50 deg I'm starting to warry) but 4600 seems for me too loud... Anyway, I would like to change it... if is possible.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilh Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I see at least two options: Move your 6800GT to the other PCIe slot, move the SLI jumpers and run it at 8x. I measured < 1% performance hit at 8x vs. 16x. This will allow you a bunch of different chipset cooling options since the VGA will not be above it. Mod something like a Zalman NB47J cooler so your 6800GT fits around it. This is what I did with the same card you have, although I used a VF700 instead of an NV5.

Sparx Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 If your chipset fan is too loud install Smartguardian off the DFI motherboard CD. In "Options" you are provided the ability to set the CPU, PWMIC and Chipset fan speeds, by temp, which may quiet things down for you. sparx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I won't ask for noise... ) btw: ... and for the cpu? idle/full load If your chipset fan is too loud install Smartguardian off the DFI motherboard CD. In "Options" you are provided the ability to set the CPU, PWMIC and Chipset fan speeds, by temp, which may quiet things down for you. I already did that...if is not too loud is too hot...

ilh Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Ambient: 22C Case: 31C CPU: 39C PWM area: 45C Chipset: 45C This is steady state for me folding 24/7 at 240x10. Gaming will bump the chipset up to ~50C due to the heat from the 6800GT (running at Ultra speeds) at ~65-70C. I am pretty sure my chipset temperatures are the same or better compared to the stock chipset HSF at 5000+ RPM. My CPU and GPU fans are set low at ~6V, as is my case fan.
