I need a heatsink / fan for my new core i7 860 and the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus and Xigmatek HDT-S1283 seem to be at the right price / performance ratio. The Xigmatek got a very good review here, and I would normally go with that, but the Cooler Master is about ~$15 cheaper (and has 1 more heatp...

I'm considering either the DQ6 or the P5B / P5W Deluxe for a new conroe build, and since its been about 6 years since my last build, I'm not quite sure what kind of bios fan control is offered by each. Ideally I would like my fans to be controlled by the bios based on temperature. Which option would...

I'm not really sure that you can say that the ninja is better at passively cooling, as this would assume that the cooling performance is strictly linear in relation to fan speed, which may not hold true.

I'm looking for a new case and so far this case has been the one to catch my eye. I'm looking for something plain and simple, quiet for both the ears and the eyes, and this seems to fit the bill. I took a long look at the Antec p150/Solo, which seems perfect on the inside, but I don't really like th...

The Antec Solo doesn't come with a PSU (unlike the p150, which comes with the NeoHE 430 which may not be suitable for SLI). I think you're also getting confused between the Antec Solo, the P150, and the P180. The P180 is the larger case with the door, the P150 is smaller, white, no door and included...

Might you have problems with the hdd overheating? Especially covering that hole on the hdd that says "Do not cover this hole"?

To be fair, I wouldn't blame Dell for not supporting the AMD X2 3800 on his DFI Expert mobo

thanks for the info

I suppose its not too bad, the last psu lasted me ~5 years, before the fan stopped working.

well, according to them you'll get "street respect"

Since I have to replace my current PSU because the fan has failed, I would be more comfortable in my next PSU purchase if the fan is user replaceable.

I like the NeoHE 430 so far, but would like it even better if the fan is user replaceable.

I'm kinda in the same boat. I was ready to buy a P150 until I read about these problems, and now I'm not sure if I buy one, if I'll get the "revised" units or the original version.

It would be nice if Antec included some sort of revision number.
