Happy Tenth Anniversary!

Thank you for all the informative articles

Okay. I will start looking for at HR-01 Plus then. Remember to get also the TR Universal Pressure Vault kit (and possibly the TR AM-2/3 Bolt-Thru-Kit Rev. B.). TR also makes two ducts, an orange one for LGA775 (shorter), and the blue one for AMD K8 (longer), I don't know whether or not you may be i...

Thanks guys

Wouldn't the fins block the convection "airflow" if the NH-C14 was to be installed in a vertical case? It will work just fine either way. With even slow fans the convection won't count. And you have 160mm of space for it. More than enough. Okay but I would still prefer a tower style heatsink in thi...

Case will be horizontal so Noctua NH-C14 will not be a good option. Why would that matter? Wouldn't the fins block the convection "airflow" if the NH-C14 was to be installed in a vertical case? How much height do you have in which to fit the heat sink? I'm pretty sure 160mm is absolute max. Designe...

Or what about this: http://www.nofencomputer.com/kor/products/nofen_cooler_cr132.php Don't know where I can buy it though. Looks interesting but also suspect. I would wait until you see a few reviews... unless dust is a major issue to you. It looks pretty dustproof to me... wires for fins. I agree....

Top cover? is this a HTPC style case or a Antec monster style case with a top fan? If it's HTPC style pizza box how is a top fan going to help a tower style HS with horizontal fins opposing airflow? Not much synergy there. You said the Noctua wouldn't fit well, if that is the case then the Cooler M...

Case will be horizontal so Noctua NH-C14 will not be a good option. Will you use high airflow case fans? Note high airflow does not equal high noise. This is all about practical CFM. If no case fan or very low airflow near the HS then at least the horizontal placement allows convection to work with...

I know but the case is just barely wide enough to fit the NH-U12P so it will have nowhere to go.
I don't move my PC around so I don't think its a problem.

Thank you for the lecture dhanson865

So Noctua NH-U12P > Thermalright HR-02 when running passive?

EDIT: Case will be horizontal so Noctua NH-C14 will not be a good option.

I had a totally passive build once. (Minus the power supply) I fastened an ancient CPU card's cooler (the kind with dozens of sharp fingers reaching upward) to a Pentium III and let it be. Got really hot but didn't fry. Sounds interesting. Could you post a picture? I'm not entirely sure I know what...

HR-1 plus and HR+2 seems to have pretty tight fin spacing. They don't come much wider. And as counter intuitive as it may seem, the HR-1 plus appears to out perform the larger Ninja. If you are looking to try something new, why not try the thermalright? Okay. I guess the pictures cheated me regardi...

Thank you for your answer ces.

Unfortunately you mentioned all the HS's I had in mind.

Orochi is just too big.

HR-1 plus and HR+2 seems to have pretty tight fin spacing.

I might have to get myself a Ninja then. Again.
I was stupid enough to sell my first Ninja to my littlebrother.

Hi there. I'm messing around with a few systems that I want to try out in some cases. Some testing fun :) All configurations will have only one fan. A 120mm exhaust fan. I need a HS thats really good for low airflow as it's going to run semi-passive. The HS will need to fit 1155, 1156, AM2, AM2+ and...

Maybe fit-PC2i could be an option http://www.fit-pc.com/web/

That's pretty useful.

Thanks.

Nice.

So what are the complete specs for your computer?
And what about power consumption?

Welcome to SPCR cocooner !

@ 3820TG owners:

How annoying is the glossy screen?
I really love the specs of this laptop but the glossy screen turns me of. Totally.

No gas, heating oil or anything like that. We have district heating here. We have a washer. No dryer though. They are still too inefficient for my liking. Also I love the smell our clothes has when it has been hanging outside. :D That's interesting about the clothes drying. That's not uncommon here...

I'm totally stunned by your numbers. They are HUGE ! Edit: Why are your using so much? Extremely low efficiency on appliances or what? I just don't get it. Are you using gas or heating oil for anything? I don't have any way to attach a power gauge to my water heater, but I know for a fact that's a ...

I'm totally stunned by your numbers. They are HUGE ! Edit: Why are your using so much? Extremely low efficiency on appliances or what? I just don't get it. I'm 100% sure of my numbers. We can watch them online directly from our supplier. Here is June, July and August: http://img.photobucket.com/albu...

Wow ! ! 1630kWh/year ? 1556kWh/year ? Thats more then my girlfriend and I used the last 12 months :shock: Where do you live? In a shoe? I'd give anything to use < 700 kWh/mo, which is the bare minimum, and I even have gas heat. During cooling season, it goes as high as 1800 kHw/mo. We moved since t...

80 GB in my primary PC and 1 TB in my NAS.

I'm sorry to dig up this old thread, but I wanted to ask if the case is possible to use without the PSU? And if so would a Ninja II fit? (Pico user here....) Take a look at these threads: http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=38787 http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t...

My Dell G2410 (24") consumes ~15W with my current settings.

Wow that build is SO clean now.
VERY nice.



Now go paint the top cover !
