I forgot to list my GPU. It's an R9 280 (non X). I may choose to take it out, but support for it would be nice just in case. How much heat and noise does an idle GPU add? Quiet at high loads would be quite difficult on this, and it's not really my goal. What I want is quiet at a low load like while ...

My current specs are: CPU: i7-3770 Motherboard: Asus P8Z77M-Pro RAM: 2x 8GB DDR3 Storage: 2x SSD SATA plus various several external USB HDD Case: Silverstone GD05 My hesitation with the RVZ02 is the Dan A4-SFX is coming out in a few months. This is a really interesting case because it fits everythin...

I'm moving from a house to a small apartment, and I'd like to slim down my desktop and I could use some advice on how to go about it. I also have a laptop that I use when I'm outside the house or just want to use my computer on the couch. My case is really the main problem I'm trying to fix. I have ...

Has anyone tried using the included rubber mounts for the hard drives as fan mounts? Would it work?

I'm not sure on the length of my connectors, but they reach fine with my setup (I bought the case).

How effective is the top fan filter on the P180 at filtering dust? It seems to be restricting a lot of airlow. You can really tell the difference if you turn the fan on high and feel the air with and without the filter, though the difference seems very small on low. Is it worth it to have the filter...

i'm just saying that it might not be worth purchasing them unless i buy other things from the same site. It's $5 shipping for 5 packs of the fan mounts which was the same price I paid to have my case shipped.

So would you recommend the orange Yate Loon over the orange Nexus?

They're quite expensive for something like that. How significanat will the noise reduction be?

If you set the antec and nexus so they produce the same amount of noise using a fan controller, which would be louder?

I believe the lower chamber can only hold 2 HDs.

Is this the same fan except with open holes?

Where did you purchase yours from? Can you send me a link? I can easily rip mine.

They have all been ripping.

How did you pull it through the fan? Mine just refuses to go through.

What is length needed to reach the 4pin connector? I have an Asus P4P800 Deluxe and 4pin connection is right by where the USB ports at the back of the motherboard are. How long would the cable have to be? The powersupply I'll be using is a TruePower 430

Fitting everything inside the case isn't really needed for me. As I said I think it would be impossible to fit the heatercore within the case. Also, portability isn't needed for me either.

I've been looking around and I think I might be interested in the custom approach. I've been looking at the heatercores with space for 2x120mm fans sold in various places, and I was wondering if they could be placed outside the case, I definately have no room at all for something like that. Is it ef...

I assembled my friend's water cooling kit a few months ago. Is that enough experience? I've been reading a lot of information from various sites and forums too. If I posted a possible watercooling setup here could I get some assistance? I live in New York by the way. I usually use newegg to buy my t...

I was wondering how watercooling kits perform compared to custom ones (such as those from Dangerden). Would something like the Reserator 1 Plus be the solution or will something custom built likely perform better and remain quieter? I would like to cool both my P4 3.2ghz and Geforce 6800. Also, is t...

The instructions on the Swiftech say to connect the pump's outlet to the water block's inlet but both have pre-installed hoses. What am i supposed to do in this case? My setup has only one cpu waterblock and no others.

H20-220 kit comes with the MCP650 pump. The other two have the MCP350 pump, one has a 80mm radiator and the other has a 120mm. Suposably you can mount the 120mm outside the case on a 80mm fan thing with MCB120 Radbox, which I believe is not included and costs extra. For now I'll look for a compariso...

The reserator I think is too expensive for me. MCP350 is the pump that comes with the Swiftech kits. Is this the one you are talking about?
Which Swiftech kit do you recommend?
Also, how are Astek Waterchill and the new Thermaltake BigWater compared to swiftech?

I need some help building a water cooling system. I'm trying to eliminate noise and heat in my system. I don't plan on over clocking much if at all. Unfortunately I don't have the skills to build something very exotic, so basically I don't want to be modifying my case or anything. I have an average ...

Does that particular fan have RPM monitoring? And would you buy the made in Japan one or the other one?

I'll take a good look at that review once it comes around. I'm not amazing with this stuff, like I wouldn't drill holes in my case, but I got the intel heatsink on pretty easily. The weight shouldn't be a problem because im guessing it has its own retension thing, and I don't even move my case much.

so other than the added compatibility there is no sound or temp difference?

I am thinking about getting a panaflo L1A or 2, but I don't know where to buy it from. I usually buy all my parts from newegg but they don't have this fan. I chose this fan because it seems that it is very good from everything I have heard about it on this forum, so correct me if I am wrong. Also wi...

I've looked around for a while and I noticed that the CNPS7000A Cu is really good compared to other heatsinks, especially thermalrights which i have heard are pretty good. I have a P4 3.2 northwood to cool over here and I was wondering if there was anything better that would keep it cool and quiet. ...

It is northwood, but I get about 38-40C with the intel heatsink, would this be not helpful at all then?
