The reference 8GB model is also listed at CZK 8,000 ~ 295 EUR so 4GB will likely be around 250. That additional 4GB seems quite useless, though. Would like it to be way faster and power efficient than the 980 - otherwise I'm just going to buy a used 970.

Does it have a window on both sides?

It does.

I considered purchasing it, but ultimately didn't because of cost to import to USA and primarily poor airflow concerns. Well, it's definitely insufficient for something like quiet dual 980Tis but coming from a case with one exhaust fan, this is a huge upgrade :lol: Looks like it'll perform better t...

This will likely be my next case as we start getting them in Europe. Looks like it'll do fine, or at least much better than the Jonsbo U2, in a quiet somewhat low power setup. What really caught my eye is the overall sturdiness and materials. I don't think I've ever seen 4mm think aluminum or 5mm te...

Also lot of focus on the fan and noise in that review.

Personally, I'd like to see more low-power units, 300W or even 200W. With the forthcoming advent of Pascal GPUs, I'm not planning to go for any GPU necessitating PCI-E power plug. Thus the peak power consumption of my rigs will not exceed 150W. This one right here. Imagine a quality 300W Titanium-r...

You're welcome.
That's still a bit over 50€ to go but we're sure getting there.

What did you use to do the stress testing for the temperatures? By the way, if something causes the GPU to throttle then it won't actually drop the temp realistically. Oh, forgot to mention. Rendered a 3D model and ran Unigine Heaven 4.0 simultaneously, some GTA V and Battlefield 4, that type of us...

08/2018 Update The system has greatly evolved from its original form, and I'm sure sharing it is still useful especially for folks interested in quiet SFF computing... It's gotten beefier yet quieter, thanks to simply putting some more heatsink in it. One can without a doubt call it SPCR-quiet and ...

True Spirit 140 has variations and the mounting systems allows some movement. Rev A looks like this:



Ninja 4:

TRUE Spirit 140 BW Rev.A or Trues Spirit 120 from Thermalright. Excellent coolers.

You should try afterburner and fiddling with undervolting using power limit and overclocking. I was planning on writing an article on that but didn't quite get that far. :) Did some Heaven 4.0 runs fans locked at 1200RPM. My card can spin its fans as low as around 300-400RPM, though. They start at 5...

Well that looks hazardous. But if it works, it probably isn't.

European stores think the opposite

You can pick gigabyte or quiet but not both. It's got that 1,6k RPM minimum fan speed.

It’s barely noticeable on idle to medium load, and at full load the fans are still running whisper quiet." -- ThePCEnthusiast . So the choices for me seem to be some noisy options that I may be able...

Thanks for the review.
Would've been cool to see, though, how much the 960 can be undervolted via power target and core clock while maintaining its performance. The difference in power consumption is high. Mine has a bit "loose" voltage

Dosen't put ad hard drive in the front bracket prevent air intake? No. In this case you should place any drives in the front bracket and have the bottom completely free of anything but your GPU. As I said in the first post, I don't use a GPU, but only Skylake intagrated graphic and I have 1x3-5" hd...

3,5" HDDs can cause that low humming sound but noticeably less than with the Q11 since the U2 is way more sturdy. Use 2,5" Drives and mount them in the front bracket - no bad vibes. Also the side panel mounting system is superior.

Jonsbo U2 would take the same desktop space but it has a lot better ventilation, if you don't mind the 5cm of added height.

Cooler Master just announced the upgraded V-Series. With the implementation of the high-performance Silencio FP fan by Cooler Master, the PSU operates quietly yet efficiently lowering fan RPM by up to 35 % even under 100 % load. 100% Japanese 105C high quality capacitors ensure an extended lifetime ...

Alright, got some numbers for you guys. My initial impression holds even better than I expected. After silencing my room to the best of my ability, I opened the case and pointed the meter at the card at ~1ft. With the case open, its clear that the stock Define R5 fan and CPU fans are the dominant n...

I admire the acoustic performance of these, but the only thing Super Flower/EVGA has to do to make Be Quiet obsolete is to pick a quiet FDB fan and make it run slow. I mean, a 650W G2 should stay passive until 300W AC, it's got better performance and costs 2/3.

+1 for the 120i. I've got it mounted on a Z77N wifi and it fits well even with the ASUS GTX 960 (has backplate on it). The stock fan, though, got replaced with a better sounding and performing Slip Stream SY1225SL12LM-P set at the lowest possible PWM setting trough BIOS.

219€ for the Msi 950 Gaming. I'll pass.

Alright, we got the first 950 leaks. It's from videocardz so you might want to take it with a bag of salt.
In a nutshell, slightly above the 760, a bit more behind the 960. If priced at around 150€, it's a great card. Not sure about it being a 60-80-watt card.

Videocardz

It's funny that you mentioned the 660 and 750Ti there. I did a sidegrade from 660 to a 750Ti last year, and while my framerates remained the same, I noticed a lot smoother gameplay. Couldn't explain it back then. This is the first time anyone has factually proven that.

Placid wrote:Rubber (or silicone) grommets by themselves are much more effective at decoupling the fan. Gaskets can serve another purpose in this case; I use them to seal the gap around the fan created by the grommets.

Have you found any noticeable drop in turbulent noise compared to not using a gasket?
