Noiseblocker place the eLoop series in the premium-class, same as BlackSilentPro. The major point of the eLoop fans, from what I can gather, is a reduction of the aerodynamic flow induced noise*.

Even though it might not be the same person that wrote the comment in the review you could try to send a PM to SST Guy.

I apologize for my Danish idiom. I'm glad to see that manufacturers such as SilverStone are present in computer hardware websites such as SPCR. Ironic? If silverstone was in contact with SPCR they would be able to make the ultimate ATX, mATX and ITX cases. Unfortunately they probably arent. Suppose...

All hat and no cattle - that seems to be the general opinion among most game developers. But it has not gone unnoticed, one example is this.

I don't know about availability but you can find some alternatives from these companies:

I'm surprised no one has talked about these cases here - completely fanless designs...

Check the wikipedia link that HFat posted and you could also have a look at this page, for instance, to see some examples of various MiniPCIe cards.

Maybe you'll have better luck with CD Throttle (aka CD Bremse).

Does anyone know how these results apply when it comes to case fans? It seems to me that a case fan would require much less static pressure and more airflow. I'm a bit surprised that there wasn't a test procedure designed to test performance when mounted as a case fan since it should be different c...

But in reality, if I where about to by one of the monitors on that list I doubt I'd get anyone but the Dell U2412M.

What is preventing you from doing so now? What motherboard do you have?

Just a thought; if you have the power-saving functions set to auto maybe they get's disabled once you start to alter the clock ratio and/or the voltage settings.

So, no one on this forum has ever had any kind of closed ear headphones and has never thought about anything like this? I'm getting a really weird vibe from this forum ever since I joined.

Congratulations to SPCR, the avant-garde of silent computing!

In the Q&A section of the FT02 product page there are instructions on how to upgrade to USB 3.0 front connections, so obviously it can be done. The part number to look for is G11303260, but I do not find this spare part on their site.

Palit is the parent company of Gainward, but their products are not the same. However, there is a Palit graphic card with basically the same cooler as on the Phantom cards from Gainward; this one.

Yes. See it in action in this video.

No, unfortunately it doesn't.

The frame that surrounds the GPU of the 78XX cards are basically the same as on earlier Radeon cards as opposed to the frame on 79XX cards. So the cooler on the 78XX cards does not, AFAICT, need any bump in the cooler base. That's why Arctic can list their coolers as compatible with 7870/7850. Compa...

Anand has published a Ivy Bridge preview.

It is included in the reviews. But, as it is a dual fan heatsink, it is not in the same table as the single fan heatsinks.

Nothing special AFAIK, an ordinary 5.25" ODD.

The integrated graphics is not on the motherboard, it's in the CPU.
