Can you make a test in the case of black-out? I red a round-up of 15 different SSDs subjected to interruption of energy supply: after this test only 3 of them were fully workibg while the others lost data stored or had a breakdown. I hope I wrote in a correct English.
Thanks in advance.

A little up!

Hi masters and friends! I'm looking for answers about the CPU coolers. My desktop PC is malfunctioning, I need a new one, and I bought the Audioengine A5+ after I red the review of SPCR. The A5+ sound excellently so I want for my new PC a very good cooling and a very quiet working. I've red about th...

What are the measures of the heatsink? Is it recommended a fan on the heatsink in your opinion?

Hi, I saw different numbers for the Nexus fan. Are these more correct values for the Nexus because taken in the anechoic chamber? In this case are you planning to test the other fans too and update the round-ups?
Thank you.

Prova a farti un giro sul forum di pc silenzioso, io non ho guardato ma ci dovrebbero essere rece comparative degli utenti. Io ho curato una rece velocissima di due Fractal Design.

Wasn't better to buy this instead of the anemometer? It can measure the static pressure too. I asked just for curiosity the price of the smallest model and they replied $ 5500. http://www.fantester.com/ If you're interested I can give you in pvt the 2 pdf they sent me. I don't want to seem to advert...

In my opinion something's wrong with the heatsinks... As I said some posts ago two forumers of our Italian silent PC site had different experiences with the Noctua UP12. One says the P12 fan is extremely noisy once mounted on the heatsink; the other says the heatsink is the quieter he ever listened...

Yes but the noise score is strange.

... and so a double test is useless.

Truly I can't understand the usefulness of a double test... If I have to buy a heatsink I look to the best results of the model by itself. Then I select the best termal greese. I will use the stock compound only if it's the best available. If you're looking for the BEST: http://benchmarkreviews.com/...

Erssa you're right, but different termal compounds mean different scores and a good test should give an idea of the performances of the heatsinks by themselves (project, materials, manufacturing, and so on). For termal compunds there are a lot of excellent rounds up on the web.

Again, I can hardly believe to 33 decibels! Mike, did you measured the sound with the P12 fan mounted on the heatsink? I ask a forumer of the Italian site related to silent computing I usually attend and he told me the P12 fan is the best 12x12 fan he ever tested but once mounted on the heatsink (he...

I've just returned from a competition so I'm taking rest because I'm very tired, so I didn't read the full article and this thread but I red the sound performances of the Noctua P12 and in my opinion your sample should have problems because I've bought 3 of them and they are quieter than the SilenX ...

I don't understand (maybe I didn't read carefully the review and did a lot of mistakes due to my bad english) why you don't use the normal Ninja for the comparison table: it gains better results than the copper model with a loss in weight and in money...

I don't know if it's the right section. However, merry merry Xmast to you all!!!

Finally I found the discussion "the rest of the world has missed": http://overclockers.com/tips653/ However I didn't find all the infos I remember I red; anyway it is not a submersion experiment but a "normal" liquid cooling with a radiator. It's surely this (this is where I found the link: http://w...

Well, Nanoxia are made in Germany and they come in different models (www.nanoxia.com or www.nanoxia.de). There are slow and fast fans. The faster fans are more noisy but they are very quiet by the way and have a great airflow. I red only enthusiast reviews but the reviewers always didn't have instru...

It's not what I red. Probably it's before 2002... It was an oil not so expensive. Maybe I'm wrong but that's what I remember.

You are out of road my friends! I red on OC an article I can't find about an oil like water (same viscosity, same weight, same thermal conductivity) but without electrical conductivity and no risk of algae. I sent a mail to Joe Citarella asking the right link, as he answers me I post the link. Bye b...

Hello to everybody, this is my first post on SPCR. Luckly I've found you by a link in a forum of my country. I saw your 12mm rounds up and I found the tests very well done. Now the problem: I bought two SilenX iXtrema 14 db and after a mounth I broke both. I heard on a forum of a man who had problem...
