I have considered the S12 430 but I understand that it does not have any PCI express connectors. I don't have PCI express at the moment but I will end up upgrading to it sometime soon. If I have a S12 430, won't using PCI express take up the regular molex power connectors? This would put a limit on ...

Hello In the last year or so, I've ended up buying a couple of power supplies based upon them supposedly being quiet. First of all a Thermaltake Silent[hah!]-purepower PSU that was only quiet when it was off. As a replacement I got a Tagan PSU that does actually seem to have quiet fans but unfortuna...

Then I tried each drive ( 3.5" then 2.5" ) with just the power connected so that they span up when the machine was swit...

Case, CPU, graphics and power supply. This had no effect on the noise. The sound is not the sort of of noise a slow spinning fan makes, ...

Having replaced my case and cpu fans with nexus ones and changed the vga cooler for a quiet one, I started noticing a high pitched whine that I didn't hear before. I thought it was coming from my samsung HDD's seeing as...

Hello SPCR people! I've been trying to silence my PC for a little while now, during which time I discovered your very useful website. I've got various quiet components now installed - nexus fans, thermalright cpu cooler, zalman gpu cooler. Now that I have got rid of the main sources of noise I'm lef...
