I don't know about faster. It's SATA-6Gbps though but that doesn't mean anything.

That's not a 7K500, it's a Z7K500. The ZxK disks are slimmer, only 7mm thick.

They are the same model. OEM vs Retail.

If only the title said "Seasonic" instead of "Silverstone", now that would have been awesome!

According to users, the regular version is far from quiet, I wouldn't expect this one to be different just because it's 80Plus Gold instead of Bronze.

Intel 320 s 8 MB bug was a disaster, together with the revision B2 chipset bug and the crippled X79 in less than a year Yes all troubling. But I still trust Intel more than the others. So, basically, you're saying that you'd prefer to buy a possibly defective product from a company with good suppor...

And those weren't wrong, they were (mostly) funny, some more than others

(Yes, dark humour rules!)

How do they know bison buttholes smell like flowers?

500 rpm I presume?

If you overclock your 6570 by 150MHz in the core clock speed, you have a 6670.


But the GDDR5 versions are still faster

This one? http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1087&pid=1241&psn=&lid=1&leg=0 If you had gotten the GDDR5 version it would have been even faster. http://banglagamer.com/showthread.php?18066-hd-5670-ddr3-vs-ddr5&p=359350&viewfull=1#post359350 ^^ That's for the HD 6670, b...

Thing is, Z77 doesn't need a fan. Neither does X79, probably.

And even if, there are these things called... heatpipes.

This is just a bad, bad trend. It needs to die, quickly.

I have replaced two quiet WD5000AAKB-00YSA0 with two WD10EALX-009BA0 that have a firmware date of Jan-31-2012 this past weekend, and the two WD10EALX are not louder than the WD5000AAKB that they replaced. Having read this and other threads in SPCR forums, I had planned to return the WD10EALX if the...

Happy birthday

Thanks for the updated review. It's a pretty case and has me thinking "what if's" for gaming. The one thing I really like about the rotated mobo is the downward facing gfx card won't bow. Found one typo on the last page, 3rd paragraph under Final Thoughts. "is inconvenient, and it has only two spOu...

Yep, and so can my Accelero VM-101. I've ordered the $105 Sapphire HD 7750 (the one with a fan).

Have fun and enjoy gaming on your new (faster) card.

HD 5670 --» 14W (idle), 53W (load), 65W (Furmark) HD 7750 --» 5W (idle), 43W (load), 43W (Furmark) Why then not use this: http://www.silentpcreview.com/Sapphire_HD7750_Ultimate I'm confused... is that directed at me? I wasn't telling the OP to use THAT specific card, that's simply the version they ...

According to Techpowerup:

HD 5670 --» 14W (idle), 53W (load), 65W (Furmark)
HD 7750 --» 5W (idle), 43W (load), 43W (Furmark)


The HD 7750 is roughly twice as powerful as your HD 5670. It's $110 USD on average, or $125 for the passive Sapphire.

I was just thinking about this card.


Now Sapphire just needs to release a low-profile HD 7750 for some hot (slim) Mini-ITX action!

Thanks for the spoiler man.

Silverstone already has a 500rpm 180mm fan.

I don't know if the Laing is the quietest pump, but I'm sure this would help!

for those wondering, RV03 came out back when internal usb 3.0 headers were relatively uncommon, probably in half the newer 1155 boards sold at the time. That's hardly an excuse. 1. Only the lower end H61/67 and the cheapest P67 motherboards didn't include USB 3 headers (even the base Asus P8P67 has...

Thanks for the review lawrence. Looks like those 18cm fans are now louder than before.... It's the new "Air Penetrator" fans... they sacrificed low noise to appease... other crowds. And someone really needs to give SilverStone a good smack in the head. External USB 3 cables? Really? What, are they ...

Two small typos:

The comments of the "In Win Dragon Rider" and "Coolermaster Cosmos II" both say February 2010, instead of 2012.

Awesome. Great review. It's funny to see the 1050W model being quieter than the 650W model


I can't wait for a review of the Platinum series.

Could they be even quieter?

2). My personal hope. I hope that this is actually a very clever ruse by the CIA etc to "allow" the Iranians to gain this bit of flying kit by landing it on their airstrip, allowing them to gain control whilst actually being in control and monitoring everything whilst letting them think that they h...
