I'm expecting anywhere from 1.3v - 1.35v to reach 4.5ghz... looks like i'll have to wait for canada to get the noctua nh-d15s

I'm with you on the velcro, used that many times for ssd placements

Hey guys, just wanted to give a shout out to Scythe EU. I have a kotetsu and needed an extra set of fan clips.

My thinking is to remove that lower cage to reduce air flow resistance for more silence. Thanks for letting me know it's riveted in

Anyone know if the lower hard drive cage for the Fractal Define Mini is riveted in? Or can I unscrew it from the bottom of the case. Also, hoping they come out with a matx version of the define s =)

I'll try it with 1 fan first. I have a couple Scythe GT 1850's I'll see what works better on that heatsink vs stock fan

Music/movies come in as a very low second priority, I usually play those with my 2.1 speaker setup going through the sound card. The main use of the SBZ is for the in game enhancements such as virtual surround and amp. Gaming wise, the AKGs feel as if I'm cheating in CSGO, it's just too good to pass...

monica~ I knew it was a good idea to come to this forum, you're asking good questions which I hope I can fully answer. I went with the Silverstone TJ08E because when I looked in my closet of puter nick nacks, I found it (TJ08), a Lian Li PC-A05N or Node 804. I went with the smallest footprint as I'...

Hello SPCR, I've gone around the world in terms of pc cooling and now and looking to make a return trip home, back to air! I'm currently running a custom water cooled matx build with 2x 240mm rads and d5 pump. Initially, I thought going water would be my solution to high temps and loud fans, and it ...
