There was an article at Anandtech, Debunking Power Supply Myths, and this page (bottom) may have the information you want: http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.aspx?i=3413&p=6 Wow, that's exactly what I needed to see. Thanks! :D According to the graph, the noise threshold will be the sa...

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find any solid answers. As you all know, the Modu82+ was well reviewed here as a very quiet PSU. I'd like to purchase the 525W, however it is unclear if it will have the same "noise to wattage" threshold as the 625W. There's quite a price ...

So, I've decided I'm going to upgrade. I've settled on the E8400, or the Q9400. The Q9400 is 153mhz faster than the Q9300 with a clockspeed of 2.66ghz. It has 6mb of cache, compared to the Q9450 and up which have 12mb. My only concern with the Q9400 is power consumption. I just noticed that the Q94...

My Seasonic S12+ 550W fan just started intermittently squeaking a couple of days ago. It's subtle but enough to drive me crazy when the room is quiet. If I had to describe it it would by a ryhtmic "squeek, eek, squeek, eek... then stops for a bit.. then starts again" Anyhow, does anyone know here if...

Some of the on-line retailers just started selling this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125065 It seems to be the same as the "older" Gigabyte passive 8500GT but has 512MB of GDDR2. In Canada, it's also about the exact same price as the 256MB which doesn't make much sense t...

Anyone here ever tried an LG GSA-H50L drive? It'll go into an HTPC Fusion case. I'm most interested in how noisy it'd be reading DVDR discs. Anyhow, I'm about to order one tonight but thought I'd ask here first. I'm also considering an ASUS DRW-1612BL but I'm partial to the LG since it's faster than...

Not suffered the buzzing/squeeling. I have played BF2 and Counterstrike Source with no odd noises at all. They are not modern games, but at 1920x1200 and most settings on max, the card is pushed and it does struggle at certain points. Cross fingers it was just a bad batch then? I have a feeling it'...
