Arctic includes this with their new Twin Turbo 690 http://www.arctic.ac/p/images/articles/3f60ffd2115025eb35fba06e0c727741.png Prolimatech really needs to do the same. Are these in any way adjustable? If no, then what about cases that have bottoms at various, hmm, depths? Not adjustable, you cut it...

Cable ties and straps are ugly!!

Methinks coming up with a decent VGA cooler support of some kind should be easy for any PC enthusiast capable of swapping out a VGA cooler or installing a CPU cooler. An insulated piece of wire from the top of the PC to "hang" the back end of the cooler, or a little piece of wood wedged in under w/...

Prolimatech really needs to do the same.

Are you talking about worldwide? Or in the UK? Because they have to offer a 2-year warranty in the EU. Period. It's the law.

More and more cases are starting to use 140mm fans. Perhaps it's time for SPCR to pay them more attention? Especially considering 120mm fans are pretty much covered.

Here's a rather quick (aka: poorly done) review (in French). http://www.cowcotland.com/articles/1152-3/test-radiateur-gpu-prolimatech-mk-26.html They used these fans: http://www.alpenfoehn.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=168%3Afoehn-140-wing-boost&catid=54&Itemid=144&lang=en 1100rpm ...

Silverstone Gold Evoltion 550W and 650W websites are up. 140mm deep, fully modular, single rail design prabably Enhance. The fan speed curve suggests the 120mm fan speeds up from 800RPM only when the PSU is loaded more than 60%. 550w has one 6/8pin PCIe and one 6pin PCIEe, 650 has two of each. 8 sa...

If techpowerup's measurements are correct, then the 660 and 670 versions are even quieter (they use a dual-slot cooler). GTX 660ti / GTX 670 http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_660_Ti_Direct_Cu_II/27.html http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_670_Direct_Cu_II/27.html Id...

This line just... grinds my gears. True to form, the AVADirect Quiet Gaming System is, indeed, quiet. I can't verify the certification by SPCR; most sound meters don't read below 30dB, so testing to see if those figures are accurate just isn't possible . No, just because you aren't able to, doesn't ...

Using a relatively quiet pump like the Laing DDC-1T with this or this should probably do the trick, no?

I was just thinking the other day that SPCR ought to review either the ASUS GTX670 or 680 DirectCU II!

It seems it's really as quiet in idle as I thought it would be.

Why would anyone want to use this 5 slot monster when the ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme 7970 is better, cheaper and blocks less slots?

Am I the only one who finds this a bit... odd? SSD are already inherently silent.

Yes, yes he did.


And no, he doesn't have a clue.



I think they should stick to their little gadgets and leave the computer reviews to the experts.

Regarding the front fans, I think you should add a note in the review because while the case you tested (PS07W) has 1200rpm fans, the regular version (PS07B) has 950rpm fans.

Can you imagine if Honda or Toyota sold cars that were half finished?

What are you talking about?

Windows 8 Release Preview is free.
Windows 8 upgrade (from XP/Vista/7) will cost $40.

Have you tried connecting the fans directly to the motherboard? Apparently they run at minimum speed that way.

I'm intrigued as to why there is no talking about this case here. Is the Silencio 550 that disappointing that no one is interested in its follow up?

If they're really dedicated on this whole 'quiet gaming pc' idea then they should really offer this card as an option: http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/NVIDIA_Series/GTX670DC22GD5/ Apparently it's really quiet. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_670_Direct_Cu_II/27.html (I know th...

Considering they went to the 'trouble' of placing the HDD in a $100 Quiet Drive enclosure I'm surprised they didn't just replace the video card's stock cooler with, say, an Accelero Twin Turbo II which would truly make this a quiet PC. Kind of stupid if you really think about it. Adding a $100 part ...

By the Divines... that... is... beautiful.

Now we only need SPCR to test it

If you want quiet steer clear of Western Digital. All their new "X" revision drives (SATA 6Gbps) DO NOT support AAM. So even the Blue drives will be noisier than your old one (I speak from experience, even though my WD10EALX is suspended its seeks are very noticeable).

Also take a look at their relative performance here. http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2662&page=5 I just don't think they are in the same league. I just don't think you bothered to read my post at all. Say, like the part where I said "when used with only the lower 92mm fan (becau...

Noiseblocker fans cost 6 € and Scythe SlipStreams cost 7 €. When you're spending >50 € on a heatsink, are you really going to complain about paying 7 € for a quality fan? And the point was, the Big Shuriken costs 30 € and is almost as good as the Noctua with the 92mm fan. So yes, this is overpriced....

At 93mm tall with the 120mm fan (only worthwhile solution considering the wallet rape) you might as well use a Thermalright AXP140.




P.S.: You should really review the new Big Shuriken 2. No more push pins!

That's what you get for thinking you are a Human being (and not a faceless, soulless drone).

I only have two words for you: mini-ITX.

That's what "I don't know" usually means.
