Re: [250D vs Node 304] airflow in a small, quiet workstation
My main system is built around a 250D i7-4770S IGP which also has 65W TDP Seasonic 400FL Noctua NH-L9I with a Noctua NF-B9 as the CPU HSF an mSATA and a couple of SSDs slimline optical I think it's a good case. There's absolutely tons of space. The CPU is easy to cool. I've used a kind of clear viny...

Re: Computer is loud - I need to upgrade it
Why did you ask us for recommendations Calm down dear. The OP can't exactly go wrong with a Noctua and Abula did have one on his list. if you have a PWM (4 pin) motherboard you MUST use PWM (4 pin) That's just flat out not true. Most motherboards can do DC control using 3 pins whether the header is...

Re: Cooler Master 690 II - foam/dampening materials
I'd still have a go at cable tying a 120mm fan into the PSU, you've got nothing to lose.

Re: Internet/Office/HD-Movie computer with low power consump
I've just built a media centre in a fusion black which is very similar to the nsk2400 you mentioned. They're great cases, loads of room and great airflow. Sack the tri-cools of course.

Re: Crucial m4 ssd vibration
Obviously it's not coming _from_ the ssd. Most likely it's being transmitted from elsewhere and perceived near the hd bays because of the cage.
Have you tried running it with the PSU unmounted? Perhaps laid on a surface nearby?

Re: 120[mm] Fan Choices[?]
OP: Are you looking for quiet fans or extreme cooling? Given that this is SPCR we'll likely favour fans that we can under-volt to near silence. In respect of your latest list: 1) The Cougar looks interesting although Compucase isn't renowned for quiet components. I'd be interested in seeing a side b...

I may have missed the point here, but what were the noise levels of the cooler? Is the pump speed adjustable?

just watch out for those scythe quiet drives, they're more hd coolers than silencers. i tried them because they're cheaper than smart drives but they turned out to be not as good as my silentmaxx hd silencers which i'm having trouble getting hold of. i'd imagine the smart drive would be better than ...

Well that's odd. I haven't been very happy with my Sapphire HD 4670 Ultimate since I got it but just been too busy to do anything about it. My case is very low airflow which may be the difference. CASE/CPU/PSU 1200rpm Slipstreams at 400rpm until SYS reaches 50C when they pop up to 900rpm. After repl...

I just got a HX450W as a replacement for my 2 year old Phantom 500. Right now it's the loudest component in my system which is rather disappointing. It is very smooth, my noise floor here is very low indeed and I am unusually sensitive to low frequency sounds such as fans, hard drives and coil hum. ...
