Re: Silent MiniITX Skylake in 13.4 litres: 6400, GTX950, Nin

CPU: Love the Intel propaganda on "S" and "T" CPUs. It's ok with my budget. Cooler: The TC14PE would get me another fan (in between the towers) and maybe could help keeping the PSU cool. Graphics: The PCB on my current card is just short enough. The cooler makes it 185mm long. I love the thought of ...

Re: Silverstone SX600-G: SFX 80+ Gold

Thanks for the review. This PSU has been highly anticipated in the SFF comunity as it will allow Geforce Titan in micro cases. I do wonder though on which temperature the fans starts working harder? As the exhaust air seems pretty cool at anything below 200W. Also I would love to see a 250W result a...

sgtspiff: that is almost IDENTICAL to what I'm planning to build!

Okey.
But I suspect that I will need pretty much air for keeping the new system cool. Shouldn't I go up in rpm to get more cfm (hehe) but without having to run the fans in 12V?
Do you get good airflow from the quieter fans (nexus...)?

Read somewhere else that 1000rpm is a "magic" limit for noise. In that case shouldn't you get a fan that moves just under 1000rpm at 7 or 5V and moves as much air as possible.
