Before this i had a Sapphire HD7870 which was also low power but i destroyed it after mounting a Arctic Acceloro universal gpu cooler that made my VRM's overheat... :( I thought the Arctic Acceloro guarantee your Sapphire HD7870 not to over heat? Does warranty covers anything? Is it the Accelero S1...

I think the case itself is too small, I would use much larger case to get more air inside the case. For e.g,. a NZXT Phantom 820

I assume they have shorter lifetime because of the lower quality bearings they use. 200mm fans were almost always baked into bling-bling gaming cases, where hearing the stuff you paid that much for seems to be a must. And mostly you'll need some kind of eye protection to avoid being blinded by all ...

Regardless, why is the MTBF of these 200 mm fans are so much lower than 140 mm fan? We are talking about 40K hr. vs. 100K hr.

The case c/w those 200 mm fans build in. I compare the spec. and they are not as quiet as some other ones.

Speaking of LED light, I don't like vampire electronics, as I am an environmentalist, is there a way to turn them off? It's a total waste of electricity

I went to a store and compare Antec, Spectre, NZXT, etc. to Noctua. The dB level of Noctua is so much lower than these other brands, and its CFM is much higher than these other brands. Is the data publish by Noctua accurate? Because they look really good. I also compare the MTBF of 120 mm fan of all...

Did you over clock your GTX 650 Ti ? OR did you leave it as the factory default speed of the 650 Ti?

I have been convinced by some of you to go to the GTX 650 or GTX 650 Ti w/ a Accelero passive cooler. Now, I'm happy with an non-overclock version (i.e., just regular core speed is fine) http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4474#ov but I can't find the above in North America. It se...

how long were you using that card and how many mth. it has been before it starts to whine?

Is there a list of video cards that are well known to cause coil whine?

There is good reason for me to keep my XFX 7950GT with heatsink as a backup video card.

The Kingwin LZP-1000 is another contender. I found no whine/buzz on my test sample. The Seasonics all have single rails these days. Coil whine is one of those component-dependent issues that can hit any PSU. My sample of a 1000 Platinum Seasonic made no or little whine. Mike, thanks for your input....

I have this 1 in mind after I done quite a bit of research

How do I find out if it has 1 x single 12 V rail or not?

http://resources.vr-zone.net/uploads/14488/nEO_IMG_ws_1.jpg I am buying this motherboard that need 2 x 8 pin CPU plug on top of the regular 20 pin So far, I know that the Antec CP-1000 is silent and has 2 x 8 pin, but this item is discontinued. Antec does have Quattro 1200 and HCP 1200 that support ...

I just use Nero 10 to backup my data to 50GB media. Using XW9300, 2 x single core AMD opetron 2.4GHz, it run at 5 miles / hr., I can't get anything done for 4 hr. on that blu-ray burning. Upgraded that same machine to 2 x dual core AMD Operton 2.9GHZ is better, still jerky, but I manage to get my wo...

I use software like wordperfect, firefox, excel, and Nero 10 for blu-ray backup, plus a few other utility software. Nero 10 use a lot of CPU power on blu-ray burning.

I need about 6 fans of various size to add to the NZXT Phantom 820

I need a backup alternative in case their add-on fan is not quiet. Rather, I need to judge if their fan is not quiet, there is another brand I can choose to add on the Phantom case

I just want the most quiet fan, (120 mm, 140 mm, 200 mm, 230 mm), assuming that would be fluid bearing technology, so I just need a table, or some sort of listing that list out all the fluid bearing fan o f the above size

When I researched this a while ago, it didn't seem that there was a definitive consensus one way or the other about the vertical orientation leading to overheating. Some people were reporting problems yes, but others were reporting no problems with even the same coolers. I just want to clarify, whe...

for $150 or less, Antec performance 1 w/ triple layer material on the casing

For $250, go to NZXT Phantom 820, it supports up to 9 fans, and it's a very silent case as per the Hardocp review

what's the equivalent passive on the Nvidia side? as the closest 1 I can find is the Zotac 610 GT

read in between the lines, zalman themselves said you need a cooling fan. In their case, a 92 mm fan. The fan noise will be quite high as the diameter of the fan is too small They say its optional, or do you have a link with some more details ? if that block can clear the heat, then there is no nee...

how's the above photo been taken?

can we infer from the above, that on the Noctua NH-D14, we should replace the 120 mm fan w/ 140 mm fan, so 2 x 140 mm fan can cool the CPU temperature further down?

for that matter, why doesn't Noctua do that in the first place?

never heard of them. No buzz from any1

what's Scythe parent co.? Is it just Scythe Japan?

stay away from Supermicro, their motherboard is 3 yr. parts, 1 yr. labor, whereas Asus for e.g., is 3 yr. parts & labor.
