Pro/Forums - View Single Post - my first wc setup

Thanks for all your help guys - I finally have my first wc setup running. I still need to rework my tubing a bit and do some cosmetic stuff and I'll post pics. I can overclock my geforce a lot more now - I'm getting a 3dmark2001 of 8372 - not bad for a 1.2ghz tbird and a geforce 3!

I have new problem now - my damn northbridge fan is the loudest thing in my box!!! I have 4 panaflow 120's - 2 on the rad and 2 on the back of my case all using lm317 voltage regulators to make them quiet. My hard drive is in a silentdrive enclosure - yes they really work great. But that damn northbridge fan is so loud.

Here is the problem - my maze2 covers one of the mounting holes on my mobo so I am not sure if I can use another fan - or even another waterblock. Has anyone replaced the northbridge fan on a shuttle ak31 board who is also using a maze2?

Here are my specs:

YYCube Case

AMD 1.2 TBird running 9X155 (1404) Temp 33C full load
512 Crucial 2100 DDR
IBM GXP60 40 GB
Gainward Geforce 3 PowerPack OC (260/525)
Black Digidoc
Eheim 1250
Rad from Autozone 10 1/2 X 5 5/8 X 2
4 120mm Panaflow M fans running off two LM317 voltage regulators
