Re: Seagate's 10TB HDDs
I almost feel like the link to the press release at the bottom was redundant. It's nice to see that there was a comment in the original post of the forum thread, but most casual browser won't see that unless they specifically click through to the forum.

Re: Asus FanConnect - control case fans with gfx card
I also do not have one of these cards. From reading the Asus article you linked, though, it looks like the additional fans aren't tied to the same control as the GPU fans [because they show setting up custom fan curves for the additional fans]. I think that another interesting question is whether yo...

Re: Intel Core i7-5775C: Broadwell for Desktops
A quick question regarding your "platform cost" section: it looks like you've got AMD's A8-7600 using $60 RAM where the rest of the DDR3 systems are using $40 RAM. Your test notes mention a single DDR3 and a single DDR4 option, and the notes on the price graph call out only the Skylake system as nee...

Re: SilverStone Precision PS11B-Q Budget Tower
The puzzling hole in the top/rear corner is usually there to allow the 4pin/8pin auxiliary cable to be run from the PSU, behind the motherboard tray, to the socket. The cable often needs to be routed before the motherboard is installed and attached once the motherboard is in place. Consider the shot...

Re: SilverStone Kublai KL05 Budget ATX Case
G'day all,
I know I'm coming late to the game, but how much clearance is there between the top fan mounts and the cover? For example, would a 60mm thick 280mm radiator fit inside the cover?
Thanks

Re: Radeon R9 290X Cooling
I went custom water cooling for my R9 290 after using a dwood bracket and AIO cooler for my HD6950, but if the idea of "The Mod" interests you NZXT is producing the G10 bracket which is a commercial kit to adapt any Asetek cooler to a GPU. As I see it, the main benefit of going this route [water, wh...

Underclocking and undervolting a Sapphire 6950 2GB
G'day guys, I wanted to document how I finally managed to get the control over my 6950 that I've been missing ever since upgrading from a 4890. I used to be able to use RivaTuner with 4890 config file to downclock and undervolt the 4890 so that it ran quietly and cool when I didn't need it, but then...

G'day guys, Chasing some advice: I built a machine which includes a Sapphire 6950 DiRT3 edition card, which runs it's fans at full speed at all times. From power on to shutdown, full speed. Afterburner, Rivatuner, TriXX can all happily change and set clocks, but nothing can set the fans to anything ...

i think you've started out with the right idea - grab a fan which moves a large amount of air while spinning at low speeds, ideally reducing noise. if i may make a suggestion; have a look at Bluefront's work, IsaacKuo's work. at the moment you've got a certain amount of air moving, and it moves most...
