Can they be used as internal hard disks without problem?

They have TLER, right? So, for RAID 1, are they a better choice than two WD Caviar Green, for RAID 1?

According to this, It is not compatible with 1155/1156 sockets. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&manufacturers_id=28&products_id=26116 To do compatible, you need this one which you mentioned: Thermalright Socket 1156 Bolt-Thru-Kit Rev.B However, I don't find it...

Thank you again. You should note that is the Thermalright Ultra120 eXtreme Rev.C which has the better mounting bracket and it is NOT compatible with LGA 1155. The price for me who lives in Brazil is always so much, therefore the difference of price among these high-end coolers is minimal. This makes...

ces and SebRad, thank you for the answers. I intend a system like this: i7-3770K, P8Z77-V DELUXE, four (16GB in total) Samsung 4GB 1.35V Low Profile, GIGABYTE GTX 680 "Windforce" (due to its power sockets) with Accelero Xtreme III, SB X-Fi Titanium HD, Samsung SSD 830 256GB, two (in RAID 1) WD Cavia...

Which is more efficient under 600 RPM?

1-) Prolimatech Genesis with two Scythe Slip Stream 120 PWM;
2-) Thermalright Archon SB-E (stock).

Great review as usual.

I have a question: Does its height exceed the clearance limit of Antec SOLO II?

which is the best "PWM" fan for a heatsink like Venomous X or Megahalems (both relatively have a considerable gap between fins)? After a while, I ended up swapping a pair of Scythe Slipstream 120 PWM with a pair of Scythe Slipstream 140 PWM on a Prolimatech Armageddon (I have to get rid of the Arma...

Only two fans in that roundup are "PWM". Starting from this, assuming that M12-PS has the same acoustics characteristics as M12-P in each speed level, and knowing that SPCR already had tested the Slip Stream 120 PWM, which is the best "PWM" fan for a heatsink like Venomous X or Megahalems (both rela...

Thank you for replies.

Is Mugen 3 compatible with this motherboard?

Note that it has a large retention module. I remember that its predecessor, Mugen 2, isn’t compatible with P8P67-V DELUXE (it is with PRO).

Can this motherboard control 3-pin fans by voltage, or only 4-pin fans by PWM?

If it can, what fan headers can be used to control fans?

Thanks. You said that the tip of the heatpipes touch the inside of the side panel. Does this contact do some kind of pressure on the panel or is a soft touch? In other words, can we say that the Archon completely Rev. A is compatible with the SOLO II without any exception? If you can post pictures,...

Apparently new revisions of P183 V3 have come with two USB 3.0 plugs but just three USB 3.0 ports instead of four. Beyond this, the shipped fans apparently have come with motherboard header compatible plug instead of Molex PSU 4-pin cable compatible plug. Are these statements correct? If so, they’re...

You're absolutely right. The only advantage that this XFX has is the out-of-box acoustic. See the review below that it can be very quiet at the cost of a higher temperature. That is, another model of HD 7850 can achieve the same noise quality making a tweak on its regime of fan speed. http://techrep...

On HT4U.NET (German website) we can see a review of a Radeon HD 7950 that seems to be very quiet as under idle as under load. HT4U.NET apparently uses a very trustworthy methodology of acoustics measurements. At the last page of review, we can see that video card model got maximum rating in terms of...

I don't know but maybe this helps: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cooler ... html#sect0

Good to know that fits. What is your motherboard?

I don't know if here is the appropriate place but I'd like to report a supposed error.

There where is written LZW I think should be LZP for Kingwin power supplies.

Sorry if this should be done in other way.

Thanks. So yours isn't a fanless video card. Obviously your video card DOES control a PWM fan. The adapter is only to convert the connector from large to small, since standard video cards use a small header. What I wonder is if e.g. the header on the PowerColor SCS3 HD6850 works, and if its BIOS has...

boost, what is your graphic card?

I already had posted this adaptor. I saw that the cards have a fan header. What I'd like to know is if they have a controller circuit on themselves. And more, if they can be configurable by software speed control. If so, then we can use that Gelid to hook up a fan in the card e turn it an active coo...

Does those fanless video cards have fan controller? I saw they have a video card PWM fan header but I don’t know whether it works. I’d like to use the below accessory with a zip tied Slip Stream and let the video card controlling the speed according to temperature, like a common video card. http://w...

For now, P280 is a disappointment (I can change my mind later), unlike Solo II which is brilliant, in my opinion.

If the Solo II is enough in terms of cooling and size for a given setup, can we say that it is better than P280 in every aspects (structure, vibration, stock fan, design, quality of build, etc.)?

Definitely, including panels to block the unused fan mounts would be great. It's too bad that Antec seems to be giving up on the CP power supplies. They seem like a really good idea to me. This case doesn't seem like it would be a good match for a passive or semi-passive PSU. I guess the idea is th...

Thermalright already has two items displayed in its site. 2011 Retention Kit for: - HR-02 Macho - True Spirit 120 - True Spirit 140 2011 Adapter kit for: - Archon - Silver Arrow - HR-02 - Venomous X http://www.thermalright.com/products/index.php?cat_id=37 There already are motherboards compatibility...

Very nice. Thanks!

A problem: where to find a reference HD 6870 for sale?

It must be the reference card to avoid issues with third-party cooler.

Abula, thank you for reply.

It can be that screws conflict with HR-02. However, I've been thinking Shaman in that case may not work well. Its fan would be close to top of the case.

I'm very sad to see sites like AnandTech, Puget Systems, Benchmark Reviews and others speak so badly of SOLO II.

For me its design is almost perfect and the embedded concept into it is the right way.

In my opinion, TJ08-E and SOLO II have the best project for desktop PC.

With that motherboard, computer case and CPU heatsink, will a Thermalright Shaman be compatible?

Note that the Shaman’s screw heads are tall. My fear is that they may conflict with the HR-02.
