Re: Sizegrade advice

Heck, if the internals were upside down, and the cpu heatsink was large enough (and the gpu humble enough)... the flow from the case 120's might be enough to forgo a cpu fan.

Re: Sizegrade advice

Zalman CNPS 5x Performa question

Hi! I'm slowly tackling my new setup's noise hot spots one at a time, and just replaced the old videocards which should be audibly refreshing. One of the next points on the list is my stock Intel HSF on a Xeon E3-1240v2 (roughly equivalent to a stock ivy i7 in terms of heat and power) and i don't co...
