My Tt Volcano 11's aren't exactly quiet when allowed to run full speed or without the controller making them run at full period.
Now - Try having two of those going at the same time on a Socket A dualie board......
Full blast.

I hate to disagree, but I've had one of those and a few similar models BITD, and they were MUCH louder that 41db! Those hamster-wheel type blowers were very effective, but loud as screaming banshee.

P.S.

Yes, you most certainly do.
make it so patrick stewart GIF



I was a bit dramatic about the noise level, it was relatively normal back then. After restoration it does sound a bit better.
I've got to ask: Why do you want to get used to that noise level? Cooling some golden P3 on 2GHz? :D

Is it afraid of camera?

P.S.

Hmm... Is it just me, or that Cooler Master case seems awfully familiar? :)

Have you seen this Voodoo5 6000 revamp yet? Complete with 4-pin molex power connector. Looks great with black PCB and copper heatsinks. Wonder what price these would fetch if went into some form of production. Seem to remember member on another forum purchased a working original one for over $3,000, then had to acquire a certain model EpoX board to run it.

I used to have TT Volcano, it did shift a lot of air but the noise it made make jet engine blush.

Kinda. I am a competitive benchmarker. :)
Would Barton core at 3 gig suffice?

Most hideous sound I ever heard from a PC was this ultra high speed fan I mounted on the northbridge. Not just volume but the pitch. Could make your ears bleed from the next room and hardly made a lick of difference in overclock. Silly me went through trouble of mesh cable sleeve and shrink tubing before even trying it. :wtf:

It works like 7of9 back in 98' :D
It'll take a week or two before all parts arrive for final assembly. OC is impossible and that's only negative side so far. So I was looking to get s754 athlon 4000+, but shipping from USA is way to expensive.
Hmm... Is it just me, or that Cooler Master case seems awfully familiar? :)
RAM too :chears:

Again, I'm going to post pics as soon as I get it back all clean 'n shiny ;)

ATI stickers sounds like a challenge. My strategy would probably be to find something on GIS and print it on label or sticker stock. Otherwise eBay or AliExpress, maybe?

I hope you won't take this the wrong way, but I keep looking at your name & find it hilarious! :)

Kinda makes me wonder what would happen if I'd plug in a 80-watt hamster into the 40-watt power supply? Or is the Hamster the source of power in this equation & provides 80W of juice as it runs (and rotates) inside that hamster wheel thingy? :D

Wow, those old GPU coolers are always interesting. Makes you wonder how it took people so long to come up with the IMO simplest and most logical solution of having the fan force air into (or through) the heatsink, and then either guiding it out or letting exhaust fans handle it, rather than convoluted setups like this. I mean, anyone looking at this ought to have been able to think "if the fan were to blow into the fin stack, the fin stack could be twice as tall, and we could run the fan slower". Or am I just so conditioned by modern coolers that I can't see how difficult this is to figure out? Of course GPU coolers didn't improve all that much in the generations after this - my HD 4850s were still terrible :p

'S all good; I chose it because it popped into my head ages ago and made me laugh. Kept it because it's never taken. :D Anyway, I like to think the Hamster runs on 80W of power (think 60W light bulb), but the idea of it being an 80W power supply is also fun!

Sub-zero hamsters. This line of conversation reminds me of the highly controversial Cyberian Outpost 1998 super bowl commercial where they shot Gerbils from a cannon. There's a bit of nostagilia. In retrospect that company was nothing more than an attempt to capitalize on hype of the dot com era. Meager webpage, not much stock. Eventually bought out by Fry's at less than tenth the price the company commanded at it's height. Even had a catchy stock symbol - "COOL". An obvious rival to Egghead dot com's site at the time.

The fan in the shroud duct is pulling in air over the heatsink, and then dumping it out the back. At a low spin it wasn't too noisy, it's the when the GPU heated up then it made a rattle/vibration sound with the plastic shroud. I had the X850 XT.

Round is going to be tough unless you get a quality colour laser printer and some photo label paper and make them yourself.

Yeah, I figured it out eventually, but it still seems overly convoluted :p At least the fan isn't one of those super-thin single slot blowers like the 4850 had.
