Re: My journey to madness
These are great fans, but they are extremely expensive. As with any pricy cooling solution, there is always this problem, that instead of investing in cooling, you can upgrade hardware, get better selected cpu, or higher model, undervolt it, and get better performance/noise ratio out of it, than you...

Re: External watercooling benchtable (i7 + 1080)
PWM version od D5 should be quieter because it can go lower rpm, just like fans do. Also you are more flexible with controlling it, you can adjust exact speed that you want or even make it speed up during load to increase flow. WIth vario pump, there is dial at the back of pump so you basically set ...

Re: NUC6i7KYK/NUC skull canyon
What sucks about it, is new board layout, so it wont fit in any previous nuc fanless cases. CPU would probably have too high tdp for that.
What we get is blower style laptop cooling system, which by spcr standards is pretty bad.

You know, top of the case is standard extension slots, whole case frame, cables, and then there is top panel, which is a mesh. It is significantly more restrictive than for example top in normal atx case that has only a mesh there. Because there is less layers.

Re: Quiet SLI Gaming PC Build Guide
Using different gpu cooling than stock would improve results greatly. Just get cheapest reference 970 and buy proper cooler. Then you can use quality 120/140mm fans at very low rpm (500-600 for example), and even achieve better gpu temps. Going for 1 stronger card is another alternative, if it's nee...

Re: Lian Li V1020b gtx780 prolimatech mk-26 build
It is quite hard to compare, as I didn't use same fans setup. CPU was just 1 fan in the middle of heatsink, no exhaust 120mm fan mounted, and 2x180 intake. So cpu temps were quite bit worse, since gpu was blowing in cpu's direction, and that air was stuck there. Another difference is, that I had 2x1...

Not exactly new hardware, except gtx780, which is high tdp card. Prolimatech mk-26, 140mm fans at 5v, quiet and very efficient. As you can see cooler is suspended, so there is no sagging in pci-e slot, and pcb of graphic card is perfectly flat. Case obviously isn't best choice for quiet builds, as t...

From my experience, after using FT02, issue with those type of cases is, that if you set bottom 180mm fans to low rpm (not case stock switch low, but actually minimum with analog fan controller), then the airflow they generate is pretty insignificant. They still put fresh air into the case, that is ...

Re: Sapphire Ati radeon R9 280/280x/285
When it comes to 290, definitely not good idea for quiet rig.. no matter what cooler. These cards just run way too hot, to be efficiently cooled by 2 slot coolers, at spcr grade noise levels. Idle is possible, but load, not a chance.
