Re: Mulling Puget build, must avoid heat and noise
It's not better to just use SpeedFan? I see Scythe makes some controllers.

Re: Mulling Puget build, must avoid heat and noise
Oooh... I didn't know these came out. So there's the adjustable VR with the PCI control and one without, which oddly frozenCPU calls mid speed. So I would want the VR if I have any that won't be connecting to one of 4(?) chassis fan connectors, right? Are these fans just about able to blend with the...

Re: Mulling Puget build, must avoid heat and noise
I'm sure I made my posts way too long. I think I have my question narrowed down to this. What would you guys do if you wanted a 7950 in a Serenity PC, to make it quiet as possible? Would you just go with the TriCools? I'm guessing most of SPCR might not, nobody speaks too fondly of them, so I'm hopi...

The Sapphire 7950 feels like one of the most responsive and responsible cards ever in terms of self-management signing off whenever it can. It's probably one of the most SPCR performance cards and a good sign for the futu...

Re: Mulling Puget build, must avoid heat and noise
Yeah that did come out longer than I'd hoped. I'm just torn on what to do. Stock fans + 7950 (and as much deadening as possible) or perhaps their silent package and a much lesser 7750. I could occasionally use the power of the 7950, but at what cost? They're saying I'd have to utilize TriCools to ge...

Mulling Puget build, must avoid heat and noise
Hi guys, I'm about ready to pull the trigger on a Puget order, but have to decide on a couple of things I'm really not sure about. I picked up a new Sapphire 7950 OC , which is quite impressive in terms of heat and noise compared to any other performance card. However Puget was quick to advise stepp...
