Re: Seasonic X-400 Fanless PSU
I'm considering using this PSU to replace the Antec EarthWatts 380 that I have in a Sonata case. The instructions call for it to be installed with the vented side up; however, the clearance to the top of the chassis is only about 1/4 inch. Is this a problem? My alternative is the Sea Sonic X-650--ac...

Thanks for the advice. I like the higher reliability. It is puzzling that the 1200 rpm s-flex has about the same rated airflow as the 800 rpm slipstream though. Although I note that spcr has different (but corrupted?) results. So my concern is that should I use a 1200 rpm s-flex, I would see little ...

Replacement fan for Cooler Master Hyper 212+
I just completed a build consisting of a GA P55A-UD3 system and non-overclocked i7-860 with a Hyper 212+ cooler. I replaced the PWM fan with an 800 RPM Slipstream. Results: The stock fan: idle CPU temps 22-32 and under 100% load, 52 degrees. Slipstream 800 rpm: idle CPU 22-29 and 100% load, 55 degre...

Cut fan grill on Sonata III?
I have made great progress in quieting my system by using a Slipstream 800 rpm case fan, a Xigmatek 1283 heatsink (also with a Slipstream fan) on an E7200 and a WD Caviar SE16 drive all in a Sonata III case with included power supply. Can I expect any improvement in noise by cutting out the case fan...

Thank you for the suggestions and debate! :) As I indicated in the original post, it is my understanding that the GA EP45-DS3L (I upgraded from the EP43) will not do voltage control on the fan header so I will need either a PWM fan or a fixed rpm fan. I'll consider the 800 rpm Slipstream and the Arc...

Good pwm fan replacement for Xigmatek s1283
I was planning on replacing the fan on the Xigmatek s1283 with a Slipstream 1200 rpm fan based on reviews at spcr; however, I just learned that my new MB (GA EP43-DS3L) only supports pwm fan control for the CPU cooler. Any recommendations for a 120 mm pwm fan that would beat the stock fan on the s12...
