Re: Thermalright Le GRAND MACHO RT in Node 304
I don't know the coolers of your list, but I ran a Noctua NH-U14S successfully inside a Node 304 on top of a 6700K, see also here.

Re: Updating from a P183 - is an R5 truly the best option?
Nothing ever rattled with my R5 while I used it. I meanwhile switched case, but not because the R5 was bad. It's a great case. I just wanted something smaller. Nothing wrong with the R5.

I don't know about AI Suite, but SpeedFan can do that. If you want to give it a try, be aware, that the user interface takes alittle getting used to. There are manuals around the web.

Re: DAN A4-SFX
Update in post #1: Changed PSU fan.
@keif: Yes, I ned 1,2V for stability. This is slightly lower, than the stock voltage of the mobo, but as soon as I go lower, things get unstable.
Thanks for you suggestion of the fan shroud, sounds like a good idea!

Re: Silencing and Overclocking a 5930k
Which case is this? Is it possible to remove the upper drive cage? I would try to change the fan configuration to 1 back exhaust and 1 or 2 intake fans in the front. Then, if you really need it, reactivate the bottom intake and see if it helps. I would avoid conflicting directions in airflow (bottom...

Re: Case for gaming PC, Silent but cool
R5 user here.
6700k / single GTX1070 setup, couldn't be more happy.
Also used it for a NAS setup for a while: 2x 3,5 HDD, one of them not so silent, never heard a thing of the disks.
R5 comes with one intake fan only, I would recommend startig from there and add a third fan if you feel the need.

Obviously, it would be ideal to be able to control the connected case fans independently of the GPU fans' duty cycle, like you can with MB fan controls according to CPU temp. But it's a great first step. You can do this already by using SpeedFan (as long as you are running Windows). Don't get me wr...
