I have plans for using the TFX PSU in a custom made case.
There are adapters available.

Re: First build after 7 years
How would this card compare to a asus strix for noise? I don't know, haven't seen any reviews of that card. The Gigabyte card is factory overclocked and is faster than the Titan X yet manages to be quieter than the stock 980 Ti even though it uses more power. I'd be surprised if the Asus is noisier...

Edit: The Haswell CPU is 2 years old. Yes, it's the best you can get, but Broadwell is launched (which you shouldn't buy) and Skylake will be launched in August. Just sayin.

Re: First build after 7 years
That EVGA card uses the stock cooler, and that's not a good thing here. This Gigabyte card cost 20 CAD more and stops the fans when in idle.

Re: First build after 7 years
Why do you choose that Corsair? 210CAD for 240 GB????
You know that you can get a 500 GB drive for that money, right? Pick a Samsung or a Crucial.

Re: MINI-ITX Kaveri system build
About your CPU choice, do you prefer AMD or do you want that extra GPU performance? If it's the former then I won't say anything about that. Otherwise, Intel currently has the best integrated graphics but they cost a lot compared to the 7850K. If you're prepared to wait for Intels upcoming Skylake p...

I wonder what their new Lighting Cube is. It will be unveiled at Computex.
Sounds like gimmick features that only raises the cost for no good.

I've been following that thread for a long time. According to many users, but not all, the fan clicks at lower speeds, and it starts /stops quite often as well.quest_for_silence wrote:

That review is 3.5 years old, and they think 25 dBA is okay. Compare that to 17 dBA on the GTX 980 system.

Re: Vintage quiet - in search of a good socket 7 solution
You can't use a Socket A or Socket 478 heatsink as they do not have a large enough flat area. These chips had a physically enormous contact patch of 50mm x 50mm. You're right. Although I wonder if the whole lid of the MMX really have to be covered anyway, the chip is much smaller. I'm not sure that...

Re: Vintage quiet - in search of a good socket 7 solution
First of all, I think socket 7 uses the same mounting mechanism (you have to double check) as AMD's Socket 462, or socket A (the ones that doesn't utilize mounting holes). Socket 462 was used for a long time, at least until 2004, so it may be easier to find parts from such systems. Dunno if that's o...
