I didn't have any problems putting the side panel on which was a worry putting it together but looking at the side panel and space available, it definitely seems like it's at the limit of what you could put in there.

If I have a chance I'll try and see if I can get some measurements.

Finally got my Ivy Bridge PC sorted out with the following parts: Fractal Design Define Mini Scythe Mugen 3 Intel Core i5 3570k Gigabyte G1.Sniper M3 motherboard Antec EarthWatts 550W Platinum Despite my concerns over the height of the Scythe Mugen 3 it all fits in ok without any problems. It's nice...

I would be inclined to possibly give the ThermalRight MH-02 Macho a try. Having installed a Mugen 2 previously, I agree with you regarding the awkwardness of the mounting mechanism and it would be nicer to have something easier to install. Would contact between Moduvent foam and the very tops of the...

Thanks lhopitalified. When I get round to starting my build I'll post back here with my experiences.

Thanks guys for the advice and help. I'm planning a Ivy Bridge build, so was just doing some research in advance. I'll post back here when I eventually build it. lhopitalified could you tell me which motherboard you have? It'll give me a better idea of the CPU socket positioning that works best (I p...

Thanks Kuzzia.

I'm looking at building a new PC soon with a Fractal Design Define Mini case and was wondering what are people's recommendations for a CPU cooler in this case? I'm planning to possibly do some over clocking in future but primarily I'm looking for one that would be quiet. So far I'm leaning towards a...

Recently bought the EVGA 560Ti from Scan, and first impressions are good. As far as I can tell it uses the reference design and it doesn't sound any noiser than my PowerColor 5850 card at idle. At load I believe it's marginally louder than the 5850 but still quiet enough for me.

Thanks for your input. I'll probably get a Sparkle or a EVGA GTX 560 in the next few weeks and post my impressions here.

I'm looking at getting a GTX 560 Ti for gaming and some CUDA work and wonder if people have much experience with any of the following cards in terms of their noise output?

Ok, thanks for your advice.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a question about the Gigabyte GA P35C DS3R board? I'm putting together a PC and the heatsink I want to use is Scythe Ninja Rev B but I'm not certain it will fit on this motherboard. Does anyone have any experience of using with a Scythe Ninja Rev B or...
