With intake fans you are limiting this path with the case. You are basically increasing noise and heat by forcing air to bounce against the case and slowing the air down. lol... This is actually a valid argument about the most efficient use of airflow. This article may be old, but the principles ar...

Well you asked !!!!

Horrible colours, but they should do the trick if you don't want to get the drill out.

You need to consider the dynamics of moving air though an enclosed space and it's relationship to air pressure. You might think that fans just sucking air out is more efficient, but it isn't. The manufacturers and enthusiasts spend huge amounts of time on research and development into this and it's ...

AndyB, I'm not meaning to be critical, but to recommend something shouldn't you know the capabilities of other comparable products? I recently tried the lot, after becoming dissatisfied with AVG, which up until 8.0 was fine. I settled on Avast as I found it the least intrusive and used the least res...

I stopped using AVG when the moved over to v8.0. Not impressed at how it works and it's resource hungry. I now use the free edition of Avast, simplicity itself and it updates seamlessly on average twice a day. It's very low on resources and when you just select the Standard Shield and Web Shield pro...

Great company, very fast and fairly priced delivery too - that's where I got my HR-01.

Twinpeaked, that looks like a solid build there and Steve took the words out of my mouth! The only way to be sure about the fan configuration is to try it out - it's fun experimenting and let us know how you get on? You should be able to suspend your drives in the 300 too, right in front of the fan(...

This has got to be on the cards IMO, it's written about a lot on forums and is totally practical considering this cards power draw. If they build it, we will come - only a matter of time I reckon guys.

I'm not too sure what NoiseGuard is (and admittedly feeling too lazy to look it up right now), but WD drives do have SilentSeek (afaik the only major brand that still doesn't is Seagate). Do you have any info or links regarding WD drives and SilentSeek? I have never heard about this and have been s...

Hi guys, been a reader of the forum for sometime and regular visitor to the SPCR site. A fantastic resource for me lately, so thanks to the reviewers and members for all the great tips. I post often on an Overclocking site, but my other interest is a silent PC, which is coming along thanks to the po...

Hi Guys - been a lurker for sometime, but thought I would post here to try and maybe help out. Regarding the 780G board you are thinking of, I have a Gigabyte MA78GM-S2H and am very impressed with it. At the moment I am only using the on board graphics and the quality of output is excellent. I have ...
