Thanks! I think I'll go with the R6 - very helpful - probably wouldn't have found it without you!

Hello, I currently have the the Cooler master CM690 II (mid tower) which comfortably holds about 8 3.5" drives and the cooler master Cosmos II which with a little modification comfortably holds about 16 3.5" drives. I'm looking for a case that isn't as tall as the CM Cosmos II but holds about 12 3.5...

Thanks. Hopefully someone will make an after market cooler that competes.

Hello,

I've installed the artic in the past and it was reasonably quiet but I don't think it was better than a strix. Is there anything better that is air cooled? I do not want to do liquid cooling.

Thanks.

Thanks! I'll try there as well. I tried emailing and calling the US but I'm not sure it is really a full sized group.

Hello, I had a Ninja 4 sitting around unused for about a year as I never got around to building my next PC. I went to build it this week and for the life of me, I can't find the second screw to attach the mounting bar that holds the unit in place. I've written to Scythe USA but haven't heard back ye...

I'm wondering if I could get similar quiet and cooling performance if I put 2 fans on my ninja 4. I'd just like my system as quiet as possible.

pci e lane management reminds me of IRQ of yore. back in the day i had to figure out IRQ's i kinda forgot just vague memories of dip switches jumpers and autoexec.bat and config.sys files I remember that too. Seems pathetic (or as bones would say - BARBARIC) that in 2018 we still can't get a consum...

dremel tool (expanded version): if the 200mm fan is just a few mm's too big, rather than compressing/stressing the frame, use a dremel tool to shave/file/sand a mm or so off each side. impossible to get the issue is on the top and bottom in the front of the cosmos. I wouldn't compromise the frame o...

The frame is too large on it so you have to wedge it into the case and it will probably be at a slight angle since the frame makes it too large. Dremel tool :) I already used my hole saw to cut 120mm holes for 2 fans at the top of the 5.25" bays so I could cool the hard drives I'm putting there. I ...

Yes it is - it comes with one - just with a smaller frame than the Noctua one by just a couple of mm.

For anyone wondering - I ordered the 200mm noctua. It doesn't really fit in the case. The holes don't line up with anything for mounting so you could glue it in place. The frame is too large on it so you have to wedge it into the case and it will probably be at a slight angle since the frame makes i...

Nobody yet?

Noctua now has a 200mm fan. I'm curious if anyone has tried putting in their cosmos II yet.

I just got this reply from Noctua - I'm happy to tell you that we're going to release those fans in Q2 2017.

I would go with ninja4 agian, fine cooler for the price, and should be a great match for 7700k. But remember, this is 4.5ghz trubo cpu, some board even allow the boost to go in all cores, at this point, the cpu will need more cooling than my 6700k, i still think its a fine match, just dont expect s...

Thanks - I wrote to Noctua asking if they had a release date. I read somewhere that they were expecting them in late May.

Hello,

I'm about to buy another Cosmos II case. In the front it has a http://www.cmstore-usa.com/200mm-led-fa ... packaging/ fan. I could use a noctua 140mm fan but I'd like to put in a quiet 200mm fan if possible.

Hello, I'm probably building my next PC in July. I'll be using the Cosmos II Case again (16 hard drives). The case has plenty of space so the size of the CPU cooler is not an issue. I'd like it as quiet as possible. I've bought the Scythe Ninja 4 for my last few PCs. I'm wondering if I should buy it...

So I did some googling and someone wrote them and they said Q2 of this year. Hopefully we'll see those new sso2 9 blade cooling fans as well.

I see they are selling 14mm x92mm fans - just curious if there are any slim 120mm fans in the works.

Thanks! Works for me.

Hello, I don't want to convert DP to HDMI. I just want straight hdmi to straight HDMI. Are there any 980 or above video cards that do have more than one hdmi port on them? If so are they HDMI 2.0? I have to get NVidia and I really need them to be HDMI ports. Again I don't want an hdmi to display por...

Lots of good info everyone! Thanks for all the responses!

Thanks for the info about the fans and other info!

Thanks! I don't need flashy lights just lots and lots of fan connectors, slots, quality audio (I game on occasion and listen to music) and QUALITY. My computers are well cooled. I don't overclock and I buy quality power supplies so I'm not sure why I've had so many defective motherboards from Gigaby...

Hello,

I'm getting ready to build my next system. I've tried plenty of gigabyte and MSI boards in the past and found their quality control less than optimal. Anyone try asrock motherboards? Any opinion?

Too early to tell. Follow this thread for updates.

Thanks - fortunately, I won't need one for a couple of months but I'm leaning towards the strix only because I'm guess it will be quiet. I don't plan on super over clocking it.

Hello, I've bought the evga in the past and it was quiet. My last one I put my own cooler on and that was a lot of work since I ended up having to machine down the top radiator to fit between the CPU and the video card. I think I'd like a premade one again. Any recommendation? Gigabyte, EVGA.... or ...
