It doesn't change anything.

I guess every time I turn on that laptop connected to that monitor I'll have to set up the large monitor as the only screen.

I suppose everyone is doing this..

It's set to PC screen only. I'll see later when I turn it off if it makes any difference.

I have a 15" laptop and a 27 inch monitor, which is connected to the laptop via HDMI. I never use laptop's monitor, although it's an excellent IPS screen. However, every time I turn on the laptop, I have to setup the multiple display all over again! Display-settings-->use only this monitor, so the l...

From the review. remains passive up-to roughly 65 Degrees C Wow, that would basically mean that it would not be just quiet, but SILENT for about 80% of the time.

Yes, I've already looked into SF600, it will always be loud.

http://i.imgur.com/IvFrJSH.jpg 1. Possible solution is blower-type card, but blower-type cards are regularly louder than custom 2-3 fan cards, and slower. 2. Custom cards are more quiet, but they are blocked by the ATX-sized PSU. People report up to 5C increase! 3. If you go for an SFX-sized PSU th...

That's great, thanks.

If a MBO has only one 4-pin chassis fan connector, and you want to connect 3 fans to it - 1 120mm and 2 140mm, all PWM, would it be safe and efficient to connect them through this?

The fans would be Silent Wings 3 PWM and the MBO would be Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming-ITX.

Yes, and latest Silent Wings 3 case fans are inaudible at max speed(about 60CFM)

Official fan specs:

2 x 120mm Front Fan / 240mm Radiator
1 x 120mm Rear Fan / 120mm Radiator
2 x 120mm Bottom Fan(Occupy a PCI-E slot）

Yes, but MSI, for the last few years, is known to have very efficient and quiet cooling solutions for their top GPUs.

Others not so much.

After reading the latest reviews the most quiet ones are:

• Asus Strix
  MSI Gaming X

All that remains to see is the MSI Lightning Z.

I think there are a couple more to be released yet and that will be it until Volta, but is it safe to say that the Asus one is the quietest one, as it appeared at the beginning?

I don't get the RGB thing either. Why is this even a thing? Are people that bored with themselves?

Pretty sure that Silverstone KL07 is better in every way.

If you've been observing technology news for the last 6 months, especially the latest Computex, you must have noticed that practically all cases are tempered glass!

Is tempered glass conducive to sound isolation?

Even if it is I would not want a transparent case, wtf is going on...

It says that Ironwolf is a NAS HDD, does that make any difference?

I've noticed that Seagate BarraCuda Pro 6TB is a lot more expensive than Seagate SkyHawk Guardian Surveillance, also 6TB. Features of both seem to be the same, SATA3, 7200rpm. Is there any reason for that? If you just want HDD for storage should you get the surveillance one, although it will never b...

grant2 wrote:LEDs? Glass panel? perfect is a matter of taste & priorities, mine don't include those

Yeah, I stopped reading after "glass panel".

I was just looking at some reviews, it seems that KL07 has the best sound insulation ever for a mid-case.

And airflow is excellent too with pre-installed 3 140mm fans.

So, has anyone been able to find 16GB 3000GHZ sticks, that, although not on the official list, are unofficially working?

I also read somewhere that sticks with XMP label are specifically designed for Intel, and are not even supposed to work with AM4 platform.

If it can fit that giant fan, then it can probably fit D15S-

Standard DDR4 RAM height is 31mm plus whatever heatspreader is added Based on this image I think it should be OK unless the height is counted for un-slotted RAM? http://www.corsair.com/en-us/~/media/5FC141349866432692983AE3E53F57AB.ashx?w=750 LOL...

It is dual channel but would a single stick work?

And later I put another identical stick..

As for MBO, which one would you recommend?
Asus mATX boards have only one case chassis fan slot.

In terms of RAM and CPU fan clearance, I don't know how to actually check that.

Ah, I see, you need to fill a special form with attached invoices for both the fan and the AM4 motherboard.

I didn't buy it yet, I said I was composing the list.

Abula wrote:Did you buy the AM4 version? Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4.

That's not NOCTUA NH-D15S.

I was just finishing up composing all the components when I found out that NOCTUA NH-D15S is not compatible with AM4, i.e. Ryzen.

I don't know what to do now, I spent hours looking for a CPU cooler and that was by far the best air cooler for mATX case like Fractal Mini C.

So, a safe bet would be to just get that 3000GHz model from that official list I linked.

Yes, it was stated that with SSD the performance would be much better, and this model has it by default. I won't get anything that doesn't have an SSD. That particular CPU is quite new, it was released by the end of last year. But I'm not sure, what if I wanted to do some Adobe animations, would I g...
