On page 5 of the review: We weren't able to find any concrete information on pricing This cooler is listed in Germany I was able to find it in a German online store (pccooling.de) at about 26 euro. At that price level, and excluding users who only look for top level heatsinks (I mean, over 50 euros)...

... Very interesting analysis of CPU cooler theory & practice. Thanks to you all for writing that! A simple question for those who could have had this Dark Rock 2 Tower Heatsink in their hands: is it possible to turn the provided fan from "push" to "pull"? I mean, can I install the provided fan from...

c) http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1177-page2.html That horrible molex powdered rear fan (the white one). I will connect all the other fans to fan controller provided with the case (with y-cables), but that fan, I only have the option to power it via a molex connector, so ... How can I control...

frupoli, why do you want to go fanless on the CPU heatsink if you'll have 4 case fans anyway? If your CPU fan is at least as quiet as the case fans, and since its noise is a bit more dampened too (by being inside the case rather than on a case panel), it won't really add any noise... You're right. ...

As for the fan layout: positive pressure is not a bad idea though I would do it a bit differently: 1 rear or top exhaust along with 2 or 3 intake fans at the front/side panel. I would keep the psu facing down and add a filter if concerned about dust (I`ll mention prformance pcs again as they have a...

Thanks for your answer.

Related to my other questions?

Good morning to everyone. Thanks to SPCR for Zalman Z9's review, I liked it very much and decided to try this case. I currently have it @ home, going to build a little new system this incoming weekend. Some things to ask / discuss with you: a) I will put a low heat system inside my Zalman Z9 (Intel ...

Ok perfect
Thanks Mike.

We haven't reviewed the Silverstone. We have reviewed the Seasonic X650 and the Corsair AX850, which is a rebranded Seasonic X850. Both are very quiet and have fans that don't turn even spin till quite high power load. All the other fan-cooled X-series (up to 850W, anyway) have the identical noise ...
