Re: GTX 960 review compilation thread
I have two concerns with the Asus according to Tom's Hardware: 1) Power consumption spikes 2) Hidden VRM temps of 95°C Otherwise it may be the most quiet of the brands they reviewed. I would say - these are pretty common issues with GTX 9** series: - poor VRM cooling (Gigabyte is exception) - coil ...

Re: has anyone here used a pico-box(chinese picopsu) psu?
Guys
can you tell if someone tested psu properly?
Can it handle real 150w load? What temperature will it have during load? I heard these tend to run very hot !
Thanks

Re: Will an ASUS Z97I-PLUS work with a PicoPSU?
Guys, while discussion is abt Z97I-plus can anyone re-confirm the following: - if Scythe Kotetsu works fine with Z97I-plus - i.e. not blocking the PCI-E slot. - what are average picoPSU operating temps ? I believe they should be quite high, especially with power elements facing RAM and receive no ex...

Re: Quiet Mini-ITX Gaming Build Guide #3: BitFenix Prodigy E
iirc, I actually ran a system in the Antec ISK300 for a while, something modest with onboard graphics & the internal 65W AC/DC adapter. Not sure if that models is still available, I see the links are for the one with a 150W PSU which isn't quiet under load. Anyway, I just used a couple of quiet 80m...

Re: Quiet Mini-ITX Gaming Build Guide #3: BitFenix Prodigy E
Thanks again Mike. I think I'll go with a Phenom as it's for a 100W system so its ventilation/cooling issue doesn't matter. For a sub-100W system, why bother with such cases? Footprint is way too big, imo, unless you can justify it for a discrete VGA card. I'd go with something way smaller -- maybe...

Re: Asus GTX970 STRIX
Guys thanks for informative tests and info ! Does anyone noticed VRM temps going high on these cards ? I've had mine up to 86 during 30 min gaming sessions which is a bit high, considering Gigabyte G1 which has its VRMs cooled by same plate that touches the GPU and they are really cool ! And after I...

Re: Quiet ATX Gamer, R5 Version

In case this is not too late :lol: : - SFX PSUs from Silverstone are relatively quiet - that means for silence freaks lurking around here - they will not be quiet enough to fit the needs. 600W Silverstone PSU is mostly the same - although having marketing "fan not spinning at low loads" - practicall...

thanks for the advise guys !
want to get rid of the Drive cage - but I have 2 HHDs + also the IR Control Module in the DVD cage, so one slot is already busy
