Re: help: inexpensive cooler for Ivy Bridge 3570K
Am I likely to run into any clearance issues? Height-wise, I think I'm okay. The Temjin also has a neat CPU Cooler support which should alleviate some of the weight concerns. My primary worry is the GPU. That is the problem with Scythe, you just never know. Thermalright, Noctua and to some extent P...

Re: The Top CPU Heat Sink Brands

Noctua makes good product as well. I like them because of their policy of providing free mounting kits to ...

Re: Advice on PC build
Gigabyte saying the cooler is compatible is just one part of the equation...it's also a matter of the socket placement on the mobo in relation to everything else in this small case. Yes that is correct, they do not show compatibility with cases, just with motherboards. Though they do a remarkable j...

There was only 26mm clearance between the HDD and the cooler in SPCR's review. The NH-U12P SE gave decent temps with a similar TDP...

Re: Low energy, silent home office PC
Using a fan isn't necessary, but it is well advised. The initial slight wiff of air from even a 500 rpm fan makes a big difference. And you won't ever hear it unless you live in an anechoic chamber... and maybe not even then. The case you have selected has almost no ventilation. That coupled with no...

The Asus C60M1-I is definitely an interesting board. Though I suspect it isn't the most engery efficient as it uses an Integrated ATI Radeon HD 6290 GPU.

Get the H60. This will explain why:

The pump will make some noise. Not much you can do about that. If the fan makes too much noise you try try swapping in a Scythe Gentle Typhoon fan.

Re: Cooler Master GeminII M4 Low Profile Heatsink
The 100m fan fitted to the Shuriken has two sets of fixing holes - one for 100mm and one for 92mm - and the supplied fan clips actually use the 92mm holes. So replacing the stock unit with a 92mm fan is a straightforward operation with this cooler. I put a 25x100mm fan on my Shurekin. In order to d...

scythe shuriken 2 rev b is a perfect fit as it is 71 mm tall w/ regular sized 120mm fan according to spcr That is a bit on the tight side. Given that you have 90mm of space, and you are overclocking a i5 3570k. You do not have a lot of good choices. The Noctua NH-L12 will fit with just an underfan....
