Re: CPU cooler for BitFenix Pandora Core? (maybe liquid AIO)
Just a quick update... I did end up with the NH-C14S in the Pandora case. I have the standard fan in the "default" position for a single fan - blowing up through the heatsink. Also in the case is a GTX980. Unfortunately, the heatsink does not fit in the case if arranged in one of the two standard w...

Well even though these video cards aren't the quietest thing on the market, there's still a lot of silent enthusiasts that still play games and like to have a very powerful system. And there's always some way to make them less noisy. I appreciate that fact. However, should we also discuss NFL and c...

Hi capleton Are you only going to use this new pc for server and music? If that's the only thing you're going to use it for, I think that a s939 motherboard and and amd64 3000+ is a bit too much. Althought these two are very good in terms of power/cost ratio. 1 gig of ram is a bit too much also. But...

Re: No dice at MicroCenter ... and how loud is "loud&am
On a slightly different topic, can someone contrast the noise level of the "loud" 1604 or 1614 drives with the noise produced by the latest Hitachi and/or WD drives in the same 160GB range? I'm trying to determine whether the JVC motors are just loud in comparison to what people expect from the Sam...

precautions i must take before selling old hard drive?
I've been thinking of selling my 120WD for a samsung sp1614n. Are there any precautions I must take before selling my 120WD. I don't mean backing up my data, but rather getting rid of any trace of it on the drive. I certainly don't want anybody else having access to my data. Is a format enough for k...

Hi Gunzee If you cannot hear the difference between a 12v and undervolted zalman 7000, it's probably because something else is generating more noise. And I think the culprit is the vantec stealth. I have two of these and they are everything else other than "stealthy". I agree with earlier posts, try...
