Just as a final comment, not trying to steer you to AsRock fully, as i do think Asus might offer something you do want, but i was reading Techpowerup, and stumble on a new review, ASRock X370 Taichi (AMD AM4) , its not that easy to get a perfect 10 on TPU, not saying asrock is perfect, but really t...

Out of lack of custom cooler reviews or very few.... i have been checking rumors and news, and something interesting, not sure if it will matter much or not, but decide worth a share with SPCR since we many like MSI Twin frozr designs. In past, the changes on the Twin Frozr changes have been more l...

What are the chances MK-26 will fit into the ASUS GTX 1080 Ti Strix, and will work correctly?

After all, that video card has two fan headers, which are ready for conventional fans controllable by voltage (less chances of PWM noise).

What do you think of the new MSI 200 Series fan controller?

Hysteresis seems to be promising.

Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme Edition @Techpowerup added. It’s funny. While the TPU was not thrilled by the noise of the card, TR measured the lowest dBA values, and found the sound characteristics very good. http://techreport.com/review/31428/aorus-geforce-gtx-1080-xtreme-edition-8g-graphics-card-reviewed

The Smart Fan 5 settings subsection can be accessed from the MIT page. This superb fan control system is the crown jewel for Gigabyte’s Z270 UEFI.

I have read the review more calmly and I believe now that Zotac is a bad choice.

Please, add this: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Zotac/GeForce_GTX_1080_Amp_Extreme/ Best benchmarks scores, quietest GeForce GTX 1080 tested by TPU, only 29 dB(A) of SPL (TPU standards) and best scored TPU's GeForce GTX 1080. Is it the new king? Before anyone says Palit GameRock is it, I'd rem...

My bad.

Is there any test on the stock fans?

Model: APA1425M12

I know it's motherboard dependant. BTW, using the best fan control motherboard, which are "SPCR standard" fans (reviewd by SPCR or didn't) capable to be stopped.

Also, DC fans may be stopped? Which are?

Check the clock here: http://techreport.com/review/30550/asus ... reviewed/2

It is true. Apparently there is not any review of either 8G or A8G. All reviews are of O8G.

I just don't know which among these SKUs TR reviewed:

ROG STRIX-GTX1080-8G-GAMING

Sadly the MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X performed well below the Palit GTX 1080 GameRock PE in terms of noise.

Luca, i'd like to make two questions:

1 - Does Slip Stream 120 PWM produce any relevant clicky noise?

2 - Does it suffer from any bad noise if it is mounted with its bearing in vertical (helice in horizontal) and upfire (for exemple, on MK-26 inside a standard case)?

Abula, do you think that an MK-26 with a pair of Slip Stream 500rpm can cool an MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X?

In the past there were a ton of benefits from faster ram since OCing was dependant on it. Now you could get some, but overall to me its not worth it. I have done 4 builds on skylake, and found that even with QVList the boards are more picky with higher clock memory, in two builds i coudlnt even run...

Please, MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X has two fan headers? Is it independent fan control? By the pics, I can see two headers, but... I don't know.

MSI GTX980Ti lightning has two fan headers for controlling of two fans independently?

Thank you, Abula. I was waiting for that. What do you think of two Noctua NF-P14s in standard case with that graphics card and that cooler? I mind those because they have better PWM ticky noise (IC used by Noctua). I do know whether standard orientation makes those Noctua sound bad, so what can you ...

This.

The fan in both reviews look like they are 3 pin with a 3 to 4 pin adapter. The fans they sell now are 4 pin

And the inteke FANS used in the article IS 3-pin! It is the PH-F140HP.

See the article. The TS is old. It has two pads for corner, blades like shark fin, etc. The fact they never are in SPCR labs. Always it was the HP (1). These have o-ring pad in each corner, smoother blades design etc. Firstly, they had a adptaer for PWM (instead of in the motor, there was a cable wi...

Luca, a thing else that make me puzzle is that PH-F140HP from new batches are PWM ones now apparently. According to commentaries from Amazon, brand website etc and looking pics I wonder.
