Can i run this straight off my PSU rails? got a Corsair 620W.

Yes

yep wanna run it constantly on full power on my poor old single rad to get my CPU temps down a bit lol

[Northwood]

running it off the mobo header instead and controlling the noise through bios, still very loud set to 30% speed lol :D

temps not dropped at all though, guess a new CPU block is what i need.

Have you dismantled and cleaned your block lately?

[Northwood]

it's only a cheap no-name block, always been this poor performing, pumps a bit crap aswell, might replace both next payday.

Good god I hope you wear headphones with the sound all the way up... I own several different Delta high performance fans, and all of them sound like a damn jet engine.

i've got a 12K BTU Gree a/c unit and at full fan speed it's drowned out by the delta, awesome fans :D

might build an external water cooling box with good sound proofing so i can run it at max without hearing it too much :)

You may want to look at the specs of your mb fan header. The EHEs pull, I believe 24 watts and 2.0 amps. Most "dedicated" fan controller are not rated to handle it. It may be OK, and I could be wrong, but then again you could burn out your fan header.

I would try and pick up a variable resistor that can handle it or go with a VHE instead. It only pulls 12 watts and 1.0 amps. You still get 150 cfm, but, unfortunately, its almost a loud. Just MHO

same thing i was wondering.:rolleyes:

When I bought the fans about a year ago, I looked at every fan controller I could find and none had enough power. The best I could find was the Noise Isolator which handles 20 watts per channel. Sidewinder doesn't recommend using the EHE with it and if you do so, only use one fan per channel, and do so at your own risk.

Anyway, not to bag on the guy, but I wouldn't use the mb header. Losing all the fans on your mb would be a real bummer.

P.S.: Northwood, flash your eVGA 680i LT SLI into fully-fledged 680i SLI with the newest P30 BIOS directly from BIOS (ALT+F2 after boot). All the voltages will be accesible, all the temperature sensors will work :D
