I doubt that the fan controller is any better than the one in the enhance enp-5136gh. But then no off the shelf psu can claim the best power circuitry, quietest fan controller profile, and quietest fan. You're better off, in my opinion, buying a well made 80+ unit, the quietest fan you can find, and...

Did you get the 10w or 18w version? The 18w version is now offered by swiftech as the mcp355. They offer this note of caution: "The MCP355 generates higher audible noise than the MCP350 and MCP655 pumps. This product is not recommended for users seeking silent operations" http://www.swiftnets.com/pr...

The silverstone element tested at www.jonnyguru.com uses an adda high speed sleeve bearing fan; the enhance enp-5140gh uses the same adda medium speed ball bearing fan as the seasonic 500w.

I'm not trying to sell anything, but I believe the akasa 80+ is made by enhance. Also, the silverstone element 500w, recently reviewed at www.jonnyguru.com , seems identical. He has also reviewed the enhance enp-5140gh. I ordered an enhance enp-5150gh a few days ago, a 500w 80+ oem unit, and expect ...

Either a laing d5 or ddc (10w or 18w version) would be a good choice. Laing makes them for swiftech and dd, so they are the same. I have a swiftech d5. You probably should get a 2 x 120 radiator from swiftech or hwlabs. There are some watercoolers here, but you will get a lot more replies at www.xtr...

I'm not sure why anyone would post that all ball bearing fans click at lower voltages. There are many examples of smooth and quiet ball bearing fans reviewd at spcr: 80mm adda in the neo he, 120mm NMB-MAT in the zalman zm460, and the 120mm adda in seasonic s12's.

I believe the silverstone fans have 9 blades; the number of blades does not necessarily affect noise, cfm, or the ability to operate in a restrictive environment. Examples of 9 blade fans reviews at spcr can be fround in the silverstone tj-06 case review and the zalman zm460 psu review. Furthermore,...

Nice duct. Micropore is rather strong. I put it in my first aid kit on hiking trips. Are there any numbers or labels on the silenx that would indicate what company actually manufactures them? The older silenx fans were apparently made by adda, but the new ones look entirely different. Is the bearing...

You probably won't need a psu duct with a watercooled cpu. The air inside the case will be much cooler as the heat is moved away from the cpu and into the radiator.

The kit has some stuff you won't use like the radbox and a fan that you will probably replace. Also there is a more recent version of the mcp350 pump that is rated at 18w; I don't believe that swiftech has released it yet. The 10w version is quieter so some people still prefer it. The mcp350 is also...

Your temps seem high, but there's no need to get a new processor. I don't think the enlight case has 120mm fan openings so I would recommend a case that does like an antec 3000b. And get an xp-120 or ninja heat sink. Without knowing too much about your case, my guess is that hot air is not being exh...
