Re: Sandy Bridge, Part 6: Recall
I think Intel reacted in the proper way to this situation.

Re: Silent Home Server Build Guide
IMHO the motherboard is overkill.
The $110 GA-880GA-UD3H provides the same media connectivity and features for a tad bit less.
I'm sure a (much) cheaper quiet cooler can be used as well, since there doesn't appear to be any overclocking involved here.

Re: Silent Home Server Build Guide
It looks like you can fit something a lot longer than a 5770 in that case.

You're using the lowest-end GF100 video card, no wonder it isn't as hot as the GTX 480 reviewers are complaining. :mrgreen: Numerous reviews state the power consumption is the same as the GTX470. Same power consumption = same heat output (Unless the energy is being converted to some other form such...

A heavy load (eg. Folding) on auto fan will make it spin up, correct. However, if the fan is set at 60%, temperatures remain within safe limits while keeping a (subjectively) tolerable acoustic profile. I get 60c with an ambient of 22c. (So there is actually room to lower fan speeds even more if des...

My thoughts about the Asus GTX465
It really isn't very loud. (If you let auto fan do its thing) I can't hear it over the stock 1200RPM 120mm double bearing fan that came with my Lancool PC-K58W. (Which gives a slight hum) It idles at 40% fan speed and loads at 40% fan speed. (Strange, but true) Temperatures are reasonable. At a 23c ...

They also need to account for low-quality power supplies (whose power ratings are outright lies). How will they do that? Low quality power supplies have variances beyond belief. Some can deliver 80% of their label wattage, while some can only do.....this. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=N...

One wonders if a 120mm Nexus/Shiruken/Noctua fan run at 7v or so would drop the temps down significantly? Wouldn't be that hard to jerry-rig a bracket to mount a fan close to the HS on it. I thought the main problem with fans on GPUs was that they were typically 50mm screamers... Putting a fan on a...

If anything I think sata 6gbps vs sata 3gbps is much more important than the difference in ram as m...

The Ninja 1 and 2 were good silent coolers. I wonder how well this will do?

the nexus 120mm fan is inferior for overclocking purposes, it puts out less pressure than the stock fan that comes with the mugen2, for instance, which you can see if you are patient enough to wade thru the rather controversial spcr cpu review thread on that cooler That is untrue.

Okay -- if I recall correctly, the only fan that had an issue with this was the GlobalWin NCB and it was only when it was blowing down... Every PSU with a 120mm fan sits so the fan blows upward, and many of those have sleeve bearings, so I think you should just use a quiet fan. Sleeve bearing fans ...

Scythe Gentle Typhoons
Gentle Typhoons have gotten really nice reviews, praising them for their good noise characteristics and static pressure.
Are there any plans to review them here at SPCR?
If not, is there another fan roundup planned? That would be great as well.
