Not a recommendation for, but rather a caution against. I've had to return a Seasonic X-750 due to terrible coil whine at certain load points. It may be a conflict with my motherboard (gigabyte are known for this), but the coil whine has been reported by a number of people with different setups. Hav...

This works perfectly for my Gigabyte UD5, sadly only for the CPU header. Fortunately I have plenty of fan splitter cables.

I've had a number of cases, and neither the provided mounting or any modification I made could remove all of the HD vibrations. So, I decided to take a more radical approach: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo329/sadbuttru/th_top.jpg http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo329/sadbuttru/th_back.jpg ...

MSI afterburner seems to cap the minimum fan speed to 30% with my 4770 (also the stock minimum). I can set it lower, but gpuz shows it does not take effect. Rivatuner on the other hand works fine. This is annoying as my card makes a buzzing sound at 28% and above. I use rivatuner to underclock my 47...

You could try stealth modding it using a lian-li c-02 or c-02b bezel.

Thanks for the replies. The PWM ticking was an issue with an old ATI x800. Plugging directly into both the PSU and a fan controller failed to fix the problem then either. I run the fans @5v direct from the PSU, so no PWM involved. They also click at 12v from the PSU. I guess it could just be bad luc...

Is it normal/expected for the majority of fans? I have other fans that tick in the same way (NMB, Panaflo, Papst and some generics). I notice the spcr review mentions the ticking sound in their review, with the assumption the fan may be faulty. I've managed to rule out any power supply/voltage issue...
