Re: FSP Aurum Gold 400 experiences?

Would you know if your local mains is 50 or 60 Hz? (Just wondering if that has any effect on buzzing.)
Our powerline is 60Hz.

Not sure if this is relevant but when I used a Corsair HX620 before, the PSU would emit electrical noise when using battery on a non-sinewave UPS.

Re: FSP Aurum Gold 400 experiences?

Thanks, that forum is useful. They've reviews quite a few other PSUs, so it's a good comparative reference. For your own Aurums, can you hear any coil buzz at all? Does the sound change with loading? Fan noise I can deal with, as I'd probably just do a fan swap, maybe with an in line resistor, depe...

Here is a detailed review of the FSP Aurum 400w but it is in German. I don't speak German myself but the...

Re: Antec NSK3480 with passively cooled Core i7 2600

Nice build. We have the same motherboard and I was also thinking of buying the HR-02. Can you confirm if you can attach a discrete gpu even if the HR-02 is installed? Even though I am not using a discrete gpu in my system, it seems that there is enough room for it. On this picture you can see the s...

Re: Antec NSK3480 with passively cooled Core i7 2600

I have already checked Thermalright's compatibility list. They don't have Intel motherboards in their list. Also, most of the other h67 boards have the comment "PCI-E Slot can’t be used" . I think my only chance at this point would be to ask someone who already tried this set-up before. - Intel DH67...
