Re: My first successful near silent gaming rig
We are very far from that, right now not even a SLI setup can drive current games at 4k.... many are saying that the GTX980 wont be able to in SLI, so another year or two for SLI to drive 4k... then the increments we get on the usual gen to gen basis is close to 25%.... so that would mean at least ...

Re: My first successful near silent gaming rig
Thx you for your kind words, guys. I got beamed into "the show your rig" forum. :roll: So I inserted a picture of the internals. As you can see i removed the drive cage for better airflow. You can admire the (lack of) cable management also :wink: The original Scythe fan that was mounted against the ...

My first successful near silent gaming rig
Hi Guys, Been a time that I visited my favourite silent PC site. Just want to share my experiences of my first gaming rig that is near silent. This is about my sixth desktop I assembled myself and the third with the knowledge of SPCR on my side. :wink: As most frequent visitors of SPCR know that is ...

Re: Sapphire HD 7750 Ultimate Edition
Great review Lawrence, thx. Didn't know about this card. Totally agree on the "recommended" rating. I am considering this one for my next "near silent" allround-PC build. Stepping up from a Saphire HD4850 in my current PC. I am doing some casual gaming alsoo. And when i am going to game on a PC i wa...

Frankgehry is right (again!), about the intake fan on the SPII PSU, It is only 1,5 cm deep. I swaped it for a papst fan 2,5 cm deep mounted on the outside of the PSU. The swap improved the noise level of my HTPC setup. But I can stil hear my PC. The CPU-cooler a Zalman 7700 is now, by far, the loude...

The SPII does heat up the top of the cover a bit. If it does a better Job in removing it´s own generated heat than your Seasonic(?) I cannot judge. Maybe a theoretical approach can shed some light on that: Whats the efficiency of your PSU compared to the reviewed SPII? Lower effiency is more dissipa...

I just installed the PSU gasket from the NoiseKiller kit from Antec. It actually superseeded my expectations, It took care of my noise problem! My Sonata II is acceptable quiet now. I could live with this light hum my Setup makes. Which by the way is: ASUS A8N SLI Premium AMD 3000+ Venice core Zallm...

If you decide to replace the psu fan, you should consider replacing the intake fan with a 25mm fan mounted on the outside that will have more airflow at the same speed Good idea! I red the review a second time and noticed the intake fan is only 20mm. The review is, I forgtot to state before, very g...

The SmartPower 2.0 (450 Watts) comes standard with the Sonata II. The box in wich my Sonata II came stated "Ultra-quiet" and "Virtually silent power". Maybe the SmartPower 2.0 is relatively quiet when tested in a lab environment. Mounted my Sonata it "resonates" the case. With the door closed the no...
