Re: Fitting a PCIe wireless network card in an Akasa Euler
Thanks for all of the tips. I've used USB network adapters, but they aren't very well supported by Linux. They wind up being fine for SSH with mosh , but they're quite bad for HTTP. I wound up getting a 7260HMW BN because it didn't say that it requires a Haswell processor. (The one that ktriebol lin...

Fitting a PCIe wireless network card in an Akasa Euler
I have a DQ77KB inside an Akasa Euler . I want to put a wireless network card in there. The motherboard supports various sorts of PCI Express cards, but the case isn't really designed for them. That said, I think this can work.; it helps that the wireless network card doesn't have to be exposed outs...

Seems good and solid build. I hope you get good sample of bigboy fan, they are hard to replace but are good and in minimum are barely noticable and bring no vibrations.

Should I be worried about hard drive temperature?
My hard drives get pretty hot when I mount them in the Evercase 4252's standard hard drive mounting thingy. I should get an intake fan, but they should still get pretty hot as they're right on top of each other, and I'm still wondering whether hot hard drives die quicker. I read that Google found th...

A zalman ZM80-x heatpipe with a low speed fan @ 5v should work fine on a 5900 or 6600GT. The Gigabyte card is an MX 440-8x. The heatsink I currently have do...

Put it on and try it? Monitor your temperatures during idle and during a stress test and see how it goes. You won't damage your hardware due to overheating; if heat is a problem it will crash or hang before it damages the hardware, but if you monitor the temperatures and they stay below 70 degrees ...

NV Silencer 4 or ZM80D-HP?
I bought this . The HSF is painfully loud. So, I'm planning on getting the NV silencer 4 , the ZM80D-HP or the ZM80C-HP to replace the stock heatsink. I'm leaning towards the NV Silencer 4 , but I've seen recommendations at SPCR for the ZM80D-HP. How quiet is this cooler? If it's not quiet enough, I...

Every one of the PCP&C "Silencers" that I've ever heard have been loud. However, someone recently posted that there's some sort of "new" Silencers that are actually quiet.

Don't get a power supply because its fan is quiet; you can replace any power supply's fan. Either get a power supply because it is inexpensive or because it is efficient.

How hot is your radiator(s)?
The thread about the quiet pumps got me interested in WCing today, so I got this idea about passively cooling the water.
How hot does your radiator(s) get when your PC is on, and what is cooling the radiators?
Thanks

Resistor on SilenX Fans
I've read that SilenX fans have a resistor that lowers the voltage going to the fan.
Are all of one size of SilenX fan the same except for the resistance of the resistor?
