the thermalright IFX-14 is only best when employing the three fans for which it allows you to install concurrently. But your best bet would be to undervolt and use a large surface area tower heatsink. I'm using a Mugen 2 on my i7 920 (at 0.95V core voltage), which at present I use the included PWM f...

Here's a link to pics of my setup, showing the PSU before fan-swap and after. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mlcca/ Update: I ended up putting the original fan back into the PSU. :shock: as the ball bearings started getting audible (when things are very quiet, you can hear that high-pitched whine). My...

I've got an i7/Mugen 2 setup as well, and I noticed over the several times I've reseated my CPUs (and cleaned/reapplied TIM) that the variance between individual cores went from 2 or 3 degrees C to the more recent 4C like yours. what I did this time was to use less TIM than last time, hoping for tem...

Core i7 920 at 2.66 GHz w/ HT, SpeedStep & Turbo (2.8GHz) running at 0.9375V in BIOS, which shows under CPU-Z as 0.92V . CPU PLL at 1.8V, QPI at 1.2V and DRAM at 1.5V. able to run 3.36 GHz at 1.1V cpu voltage in BIOS, 1.08V in CPU-Z. Update: I've had a few BSOD's since, and so I've upped the voltag...

you can find Silverstone 180mm's now online at Aerocooler (online). even Amazon has them.

it would be nice if there were an anodized aluminum hinged cover placed over the top part (covering the connector area, but leaving slits toward the rear for air ventilation, as there's a fan underneath), and then that cover allows the wires/cables to be routed to the back, where the PSU cable is ro...

I've had an Enermax Revolution 85+ 850W for a few months now, and since the beginning, the fan on it has been very quiet, except for one flaw - it was unbalanced like described in the Bit Tech review for the 950W model. (started out sounding like an occasional thump inside the psu, but that soon wor...
