Anyone seen a test of how much exhaust fan upgrade affects temps and noise
I have a Fractal Define C And I am wondering if upgrading the included https://www.fractal-design.com/products/fans/dynamic/dynamic-x2-gp-12/black/ exhaust fan to a NF-A12x25 PWM will have any meaningful change to fan noise and cooling. I would guess its very minor and that intake is more important,...

Is Corsair CX400W quiet?
I am getting one for my server which is a AMD X3 PI and a MB with onboard Nvidia 8200 gfx on, so max load should be pretty low. Just wonder if it will be as quiet as my HX620 (With same load %)

Anyone tried the HAF 932?
I am on the lookout for a new case and I really like the HAF 932 for its airflow even though I hate the looks, but I wonder if those fans are noisy?

Can it help to not oc my co...

What amd chipset has lowest power draw (no need for IGP)
What of the current chipsets would be best to be paired with 4850/4400+ (Dunno if the 4850 is less power hungry) and hd4350. Needs to be stable and low on power draw.

Does the Accelero S1 rev 2 fit 4870 1Gb?
Well topic, but normally a 1Gb have more ram slots and maybe different layout. So does it fit without mods?

Any reviews of Samsung EcoGreen F1 DT HD103UI ?
I am in need of a new 1Tb drive for storage, and now I can see that (at least on the danish market) the F1 EcoGreen has just been released which is the counter to WD GP.
But anyone seen a review with this vs the WD GP ?

Anyone using noneraid WD GP drives for 24/7 operation?
I am thinking of getting my second WD GP 1TB drive, but I am abit undercertain if its safe to have them running 24/7 when its not the raid edition?
I do not access them constantly which makes me think its safe or do it not matter how often you access it just how long time its online?

Year I hope these are released soon so WD can get some competition even though the prices for GP drives are very low, but competition = innovation. Plus 500Gb platters should make 1.5Tb possible pretty easy and even 2Tb. I am just wondering if the price/Gb will be as low as the 1Tb drives one 1.5/2....

Just a semi warning, if you buy the Scythe Quite Drive 2.5" then I just want to say that I have yet not been able to mount this in my case as no screws will fit in it and therefore I can only have it laying on the bottem of my case on sound damping materials, and this is a good solution for sound bu...

To be completly honost Iam begging to doubt if its the motherboard but the PSU instead. Because of type of tone this is I can't pinpoint it :S Tried taking a newspaper and making a tube at my ear but that didnt help much Could be since they also have coils in them. Even some vid cards have same iss...

I had this issue with MSI P6N Diamonds... Had so many issues with that board that I finally gave up. My new ASUS P5Q-E has been fantastic, both quiet AND stable. If it bothers you that much, you may try to RMA or get a new board. Can't RMA it. Bought it from a shop that went bankrupt, and now from ...

My velociraptor is laying on the ground in the case but on some antivibration cloth I have. I have a SQD 2.5" but for some reason I cant get any screws to fit in it so I cant mount that in my case, so for now I do not use that. If its the coils, do such things get hot? Or can I stuff something ontop...

My motherboard is making anyoing pitch noise
I normally have my computer on during the night so now I bought a Lian Li V2110 and alot of Yate Loon 1350rpm fans to silence it. But I was deeply mistaken. Now I have this annyoing on and off high tone noise that my sound dampend case does not stop. Its not very high, but when I have no music on an...

How do I mod my SQD 2.5" to take a VelociRaptor?
I just got my new SQD but I am not sure how I should fit the Veloci inside it. Do anyone know a little picture guide that shows which parts you skip due to the thickness of the drive?
