they're both good heatsinks, and probably will yield very very similar temps.. just that ax-7 only accepts 80mm fans i believe... while sk7 there's a little bit more variability. sk7 is heavier, and longer... while ax-7 is wider. i think??

haha yea i saw that... but even 10 bucks is a lot to this poor ass college student.

wut are some good, cheap tools to cut those things out? i don't have a dremel, and i don't really want to buy one either.

so how do u then connect the fan's red and black wires to the modified molex cable? i modified the molex following the instructions seen here: 7 volt fan mod how then.. do i connect this to my fan with bare red and black wires?

the psu fan is supposed to be an exhaust right? (i only have 1 fan in psu) but i tried flipping it around, and it is so much quieter this way. can i just leave it like this .. or is it not good for the system? it's an NMB.

i know the nmb is rated at ~19db (i use it for my psu currently) but sometimes the quality of the sound of the fan can make it more discreet/silent (some fans are quiet, but whiny/rattle sound) even tho the panaflo is rated at ~21db... how would you guys say it compares to the NMB...

as we all know... computers can be very fickle and unpredictable.. it just started worKing OK on its own... i don't know how and i don't know why... but i really don't care as long as it's working fine now.

will try that stuff thanks

thanks.. but i'm so scared to try putting the hs on with my previous experience. i guess i'll give it a go.

i was installing my newly purchased ax-7 ... and the screwdriver came off a few times while pressure was on the clip. It didn't seem like i did any serious damage from the feel of it.. and inspecting the mobo itself.. but now... every like 2 minutes or so... my computer will just pause for...

i tried before posting the topic, but i couldn't come up with anything on that specific mobo.

most fans seem to have 3pin connectors... but the fan in my psu has only 2. if i wanted to replace the fan, how would i get a 3 pin fan to fit into a 2 pin connector?

really? i could just do that? stupid me.

anybody tried this combo?

any suggestions? i quieted down my fan, and now the psu is driving me nuts... i need something that's SILENT, yet won't cost me an arm and leg... any good suggestions?
