Re: Noctua NH-D14 or TRUE 120 Black for a 3930k?
Would you say the push/pull fan config is a must nowadays? I'm asking this for a TRUE 120

Noctua NH-D14 or TRUE 120 Black for a 3930k?
Hey guys, Its been years since my last post. I'm building a new PC and I'm wondering what cooler to go with. This is going to be a 6 core 3930k intel, sitting in an Asus P9X79 and 8x4gb sticks of crucial ballistix low profile. No tall heatsinks for memory. All inside an old Antec P182. I've just ord...

The solution to the Geforce Squealing!! Finally!
These guys finally solved the problem of the Geforce Video Cards Squealing!! I'm glad to know that this wasn't a PSU problem at all. It's on the video cards using old analog circuitry. This applies to all Geforce models, and hopefully eliminate that nasty noise while you're playing top notch games. ...

You mean that the reason why I could have a problem with the heat when testing the HR-03 was because I did something the wrong way? ...

My CPU is making about 38-39C Coretemps on Idle. b) Added a top 120mm fan for the top vent. Temperatures lowered only in the CPU. For about -2C. c) Covered that to...

Hi, I'm not saying the Slipstreams are bad, nor getting into conclusions here. By the contrary, I love Slipstreams, they are by far the best fans I've ever tried. My only concern was about using them as an intake and specially on P182 cases. The dust filter is exactly the same as any other P182, and...

Hi: I have a P182 rig,which has 2 Scythe Slipstream 1200RPM, one as an exhaust and the other one for the CPU. Until today,I used to have another Slipstream 800RM version as an intake fan. And now it has been replaced by a Scythe S-Flex 21D 800RPM. The reason... Last nigh I've noticed a persistent wh...

I knew it, the Slipstream M rocks. I currently have 2 of them in my system.... the only thing though is that I didn't know that they really move 47CFM at 12v instead of the 68CFM Scythe claims. In other words, between the Nexus 120 Real Silent D12SL and the Slipstream M there should be almost no dif...

NO, I've read peopleusing actual 1200RPM fans, even Quiet Yate Loons,same as Nexus fans. I just can't believe I cannot get those temps,with a Scythe Slipstream 1200 hitting almost 66-68 CFM! Yes, if it take that fan out of the heatsink the GPU will probably burn in hell, and I hope it does, :wink: I...
