No, nothing was wrong with the fans, they were just noisey! Im used to noctua fans and the asus cooler was far too noisey

Would just like to say what a FANTASTIC company prolimatech are, this is what they sent me:- http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t309/mathewcarroll/lianli%20pcx500/25-2-13/P1010982_zps083a1f26.jpg Please see the rest of this post here and below for more information but i am REALLY impressed with thes...

They are sending me 3 from the head office to the uk for me to try, fantastic customer service!

i hope these fans are as good as they look, i will hold out any judgement until i receive them to test. They are much lighter than the noctua which weights 330grams each and the prolimatech only weight 90 grams so they should stop the graphics card board bending so much. Also, if the fan specs are c...

Well, had a excellent resonse from Prolimatech today, they are sending me 3 fans and fan clips and also some additional goodies to test. Here are 3 emails from them. I really like the look of the Fan mounting kit, that looks very good. A few other companies should take note of prolimatech for custom...

I have just updated the above post as i missed out some valuable information and some photos, also, the following link is discussing the heatsink and fans:-

Please see below link for information and then the following SPCR page for information and testing from prolimatech:- There are some interesting testing methods and specification looks very good! http://www.prolimatech.com/uploadfile/en/newsinfo/201301/20131392943528.jpg Dimension (L)140mm X (W)140m...

Strange way to test fans! http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t309/mathewcarroll/lianli%20pcx500/prolimatech%20fans/1_zps76b2cd2d.jpg http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t309/mathewcarroll/lianli%20pcx500/prolimatech%20fans/2_zpsd6419509.jpg http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t309/mathewcarroll/lianli...

I have just updated this post as i forgot to show the previous message from them and some additional photos, it may make more sense now! I got a response back from prolimatech today:- Dear Sir, According to our engineers, they mentioned that the fulcrum (the red circle of the attached mk-26.jpg pict...

I am thinking about buying a aftermarket backplate to put on the back to maybe reinforce it? While that will stop the GPU area from bending so much it will unfortunately concentrate all of the stress on the area near the PCI-E slot and the slot itself. Does it? AFAIK it's attached to the rear mount...

I sent a Email to prolimatech yesterday explaining the situation and asking if it was safe. I got a response back today asking for photos etc and they will refer to their engineers for advice. I have referred them to this forum so will update if any further news/updates.

When you say it DOESNT look safe, do you mean with the tie clips or without? Without it! That's a good 15 degrees bending! Cable ties are an intermediate solution I suppose. Ah, cool good, cant really think of anything else to do except this cable tie method. Im worried the Board on the GFX card sn...

Putting stress across the heatsink with such a prop does sound bad. Perhaps you need some better way of retaining the card? In the old days all cases worked with full length ISA cards which were much longer and slotted into a retention bracket at the front of the case. Even 10 years ago some cases ...

Ah - perhaps your prop was torquing the fan/heatsink enough to pull the heatsink away from the gpu enough to register. You are better off attaching something to the card itself. I have got my new noctua fans this morning and its even better, customer fan profile running in msi afterburner with fans...

The prop wasn't interfering with anything, it was very thin and propping up the fan which was in turn, propping up the heatsink. It wasn't large enough to cause air disruption. Maybe I need to hold up the right hand side of the actual board instead of pressing up on the fan/heatsink. I will try and ...

I installed my prolimatech mk-26 this morning, wow, what a difference! I have it running with 2 nexus basic fans at 1000rpm and its silent but I have 2 noctua nf-f12's coming tomorrow which can spin up a little more and have three times the static pressure. Temps are great, gpu 65-68 and vrm's 62-68...

I am going to go aftermarket. I really like the prolimatech mk-26, looks wicked and all my other slots are free so doesnt matter about taking up 5 slots! It got a good review on here. Im just not sure if it will fit in my lian li pcx tyr 500 case. It will fit length wise but not sure about width. An...

CA_Steve wrote:210W TDP for the 7970 vs 219W for the GTX 570. Maybe you can transfer the cooler over to the new card?

It doesn't fit unfortunately. The 7970 needs a cooler with a special "bump" on the heat sink.

Hi. More for your info really than a review! I am upgrading from a gtx570 overclocked with a thermalright shaman installed with a 140mm fan. Firstly, the performance is excellent, not quite double my gtx570 fps but not far off. I have recently got a 120hz Samsung 3d monitor so wanted higher than 60f...

Anyone got any experience of these? 120mm TrueQuiet fan http://www.antec.com/images/400/true_quiet_120_white_b.jpg The TrueQuiet Pro 120 White case fan minimizes turbulence and noise in your PC. Its revolutionary blade design fuses fan blades to the frame itself to maximize blade size for extra air ...

The Asus spec for this board seems fairly clear. There are two groups of controllable fans, the first group includes the CPU and OPT_CPU and the second group three chassis fans. So five controllable fans, but in two groups. I can't see anything from Asus that suggests that each fan is controllable ...

Just wanted to share my dissapointment! I overclock but also like silence and convienence so using onboard fan headers is sufficient for me. I did some research and went for this board as it had 5 controllable fans. I am pretty dissapointed however, yes, all 5 fans are controllable and it will contr...

Thanks guys, some good tips and things to look at. Just put it together tonight and it sounds awful! Deffo need to go aftermarket. I dont want to block the pci-e so needs to be no bigger than a 80mm fan. Also thinking arctic cooling may be ok. Should be better than stock!

i still cant.find anything. The.cpu is rated at 100 watts or whatever they are rated at and it needs to be less than 7cm high. May just have to keep stock cooler

Hi, i am building a htcp with a very small case. I will be using a asus mini itx motherboard with limited room and have ordered a amd a8 3870kprocessor. I wont be overclocking or anything and am wondering how the stock heatsink and fan will perform and more importantly, sound. If required i can find...

Hello. I will post some pics at the bottom of post but basically a quick bit of advice please. My 3 fans installed presently have started to squeak and i need to replace them. They are 2 Gently Tycoons 1300RPM or similar and a nexus silent fan 1000rpm. I have them running about 700-800RPM via speedf...

New version of speedfan with more control and new chip support may solve your problem.

I recently installed one on my gtx570. I purchased a adapter from eBay which connected the thermalright fan to the 4pin connector on the graphics card and then the fan speed can be controlled with the relevant gfx card software. There is post in the graphics card section about this.

Hi, i have a qnap TS-110 NAS which has a very noisy 50MM 4 pin fan. I can find some replacements but none of them are 4 Pin and i want the NAS to use the smart fan application installed to control the fan so it only ramps up when warm. I have found some 60mm fans but i wouldnt be able to install as ...

It deffo is different fans as the one that came with my graphics card cooler is very noisey. I have 2, the other one i purchased to go on my cpu heatsink. I have swapped them round and now the graphics card is quiet but the cpu heatsink is noisey. The fan that made the noise horizontally, makes the ...
