Lol, I cannot wait to see what this thing can do. But I must say I do have respect for the fact that you are putting all that time and dedication into this build.

Will be following this...

Well, you were right mike, with the Nexus fans, you can put two, or even three fans on one header if you wanted to. I sent a mail to Gigabyte and this was their response: "Thank you for contacting GIGABYTE. Please do not go over 1Ampere on each Fan connector . The power supply +12V will limit the ou...

God, how could I have missed that? I'm sorry. I have read the roundup a couple of times earlier, but that was about a month ago or so. When I googled last night (very early this morning at 2.00 am), SPCR didn't show up.

Anyway, thanks for the link and the actual power usage

Ok, good to know that I can't calculate RPM like that. Thanks, I will contact Gigabyte about the two fans on one header. Is it true that the 120mm power usage is 1.8 Watts Max? I've gone to the nexus site, but there was no mention about power usage. I found this value at: http://www.coolerguys.com/8...

The fanmates allow fan monitoring through its 3-wire interface. So if you connect the fanmate between the mobo header and the fan, you can monitor the fan speed. But just how important is tracking fan speed? For me, not at all... tho it can be useful as a quick check to make sure the fans are actua...

Wow, that was fast! Thanks! I will experiment with Fanspeed and Prime, to figure out which one is the CPU fan. About the Fanmates. I was planning on ordering three. - One fanmate for the exhaust fan - One fanmate for the two fans on the heatsink (at first in push-pull) by using an y-splitter as you ...

Hey Mike, great to hear from you again! :D Ok, I did some research and according to a well know and respectable research site http://kassa.vara.nl/ , the Cresta RCE1106 Wattmeter is the best, with the least deviation (did I say that right?). Kassa compares different products, helps consumers who hav...

Hey, thanks for your replies! I'm sorry to get back to you so late... @Widdlecat: Thanks! But I've added the LG to the basket already. I don't think it makes a huge difference, because i will not be using it much. But I'm interested in what you wrote: "I've mass damped my drive". Do you have any pic...

Hey Mike, Thanks for explaining that for me. :wink: I will try dual fans on the heatsink with and without the exhaust fan, to see what the difference in cooling is. I'm hoping to place my order next monday and am hoping they can deliver on short notice. Anyway, once I have it I will post in the gene...

Hi Mike, thanks for your responce and help again :D I will reply to your comments underneath them ok? I'm pretty sure the only difference is color, so you might as well go for orange. They might be the older ones with closed corner flanges but this is irrelevant for your application. Thanks, nice t...

Hi Mike, Great to hear from you again! And it's just as great to hear that what I would like to do seems possible! I will go with the Solo then. Exp. since I wouldn't need the 92mm fans, even when oc-ing. The already installed suspension is great and if the top mounted psu isn't going to be a proble...

Well, it took me long enough :wink: I have heard the reviews a couple of times, I enlarged various pictures a couple of times and I have come to a conclusion that I actually don't know anymore... I will explain. I have likes and don't likes on both of them. I like the cable management features, damp...

@Mike and M002a, Thanks for your replies so much. You have convinced me Mike! I will drop the SDD for now and go with one or two hdd's instead. Maybe later I will go with SDD if it is matured more and the least expensive ones are even more "less expensive". Lol :wink: Might it be wise to search for ...

Hi M0002a, You are right, I'm not going for the Fractal anymore. But I would like to say what I was planning with it. I wasn't going to use the drive bays, Only the frame. If it was possible my husband would cut it out of the case, remove the trays, rotate it sideways and add suspension. If turning ...

Great to see some reactions and help! Thanks.. First MikeC, great to hear from you personally, have been reading a lot from you lately, lol. I'm sorry to hear from your brothers horrable accident. I'm also dependent on a screenreader called Supernova. Jaws offers support for braille also, but since ...

Hello everyone, First of all, thank you SPCR, for all your truely great and in depth reviews and thanks to all the users that keep this forum alive with great information, points of view and advice. I've been reading up here as a member for about one month and as a guest a month before that. Finally...

poll test.

guess this is how it works..
