How do I cut a fan hole in my case?
Hi all, I want to cut a fan hole at the top of my Coolermaster Elite case and was thinking of buying 110 mm holesaw and arbour for my drill but I don't want to spend £25 on something I will only ever use once, so was wondering what other methods of creating a hole for a 120mm fan in a PC case are th...

Question about particular fan/control combination
Hi all,
I've got two Thermalright TY-140 fans that use 4 pin cables and want to link them up to a Zalman ZM-MFC1 fan controller but this controller only takes 3 pin fan cables, so my question is what can I do to be able to fit these 4 pin fans to my fan controller?

Re: Can I safely lap my CPU?
Hi apoalgies for late reply. I actually used one of my japanese water stones. It wasn't perfectly flat, but it obviously did the job just fine!

Re: Can I safely lap my CPU?
It's funny you should say that becuase I actually did find it a little more of a challenge to sit the cooler atop the CPU, but I wouldn't say it was difficult.

Re: Can I safely lap my CPU?
Hey guys my wet & dry paper arrived this morning and I duly went about lapping my Thermalright 120-Ultra first then the Core 2 Duo E8500 CPU after. The first thing I noticed when I placed a straight edge steel ruler accross the 120-Ultra was that is was very obviously not flat at all with a large ce...

Re: Can I safely lap my CPU?
I hand sharpen all my knives and wood working tools on a regular basis so I'm confident that I can lap my CPU and Thermalrite 120 heatsink nicely, but I do wonder if stripping that outer layer of metal from the CPU degrades the lifespan of the CPU chip inside, since the heat is now closer to the dye...

Can I safely lap my CPU?
Hi all, I've just ordered a bunch of wet & dry grit paper so I can lap my Thermalrite Ultra 120 heatsink but I'd also like to lap my Intel Core 2 Duo E8500. Is this safe to do. Who has done this?

CM690 II Advanced advice wanted on best cooling set up
Hi all, I've had this build for the past 1.5 years now and have been intending to take action to combat the noise levels but have only just recently got myself a second hand Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme heatsink to replace the intel stock HSF and while this has reduced the noise considerably, I'm ...
