Extreme Sound Damping

I'm trying to work out how to make fan's sound dampened as much as possible so I come across the thought of using a gasket, rubber washers, long screws which span the whole width of the fan and fastened together. I'm going to trial it on my current machine before building my next. The images below s...

Re: RMi AXi or be quiet! Dark Power Pro

I don't really want to monitor the voltages. No reason too. I don't understand why anyone else would unless they're using ridiculous amount of gear.

I'm building a potential system together which I would probably build with 6700k towards the e...
