If im not mistaken it would weigh about 3.3 times the original if the original was 100% aluminium and the dimensions were identical, based on comparing the density of alumium and copper. The fins are alumium on the normal version, but the base and heatpipes are copper copper as far as i know. They j...

I have the LG in my HTPC and it seems to work fine, no BD movies yet though since i only have HD-DVDs. But those seem to work fine. Noise is normal. Definately a lot quieter than having hte Xbox running... But anything is quieter than that. And i get 24P support(which the xbox doesn't do), though it...

I don't use cutthroats but i do have a couple Merkur adjustables which i use, the Vision and the Progress. I use Feather blades. You definately need some good soap / cream, a brush and possibly some shaving oil, depending on how sensitive your skin is. And an Alum bar / stick is nice to have if you ...

Mr. Jefe is saying that it might not be adequate if you do a lot of gaming running the aforementioned resolution. The 4670 will have no trouble dispaying 1900x1200. Or maybe he's saying something completely different, in which case i'll just have another glass of Ardbeg in preparation of my crucifix...

At least verkkokauppa lets you return pretty much anything you physically picked up at the store. There's some limitations regarding some produts. Something like clothes shops not allowing returns of underwear unless they are defective.. :lol: Some other shops also have better return policies than r...

I didn't adjust it. And it is easy to see which hoels to use, just put the cooler on and see which holes align with the holes ont he pcb.. It hsould be the same as for the 3870 though, whichever that was. I left the stock VRM / Ram cooling plate thingie on the card. it cools the VRMs much better tha...

Didn't someone say they are shipped with no sticker now? Which suggests that the early batches were labeled wrong by Yate-Loon. Which is unfortunate. Still, this reminds me of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoSiE7XtqMc

The Nexus website for the Clodius says 1000-1700rpm in at least three places. So the fans are exactly as they should be. It's most likely that the OEM has slapped the wrong stickers on them for some reason, but that does not matter since there's not a possibility for you to check the label on the fa...

Sorry about the Atlas, i was tired. The Titan could be made quiet(like pretty much any case), but as a i said i would get a Lian-Li or the Eclipse over this thing since they look better designed in every way. The Lian-Li cases use pretty sturdy aluminium so vibration should not be any worse than a c...

Antec Atlas or Titan would probably work though neither is especially good looking. Then there's Akasa Eclipse, which looks better than either of the Antecs and is a very nice case to work with. Lian-Li also has some nice cases that fit E-ATX mobos, i would probably go with one of them or the Akasa ...

I definately agree with you that damping material does not make a huge difference in sound volume in most cases, but it does make the sound smoother and even thinner layers work pretyt well on high frequency noise like HDDs.. But if you have a big case it's easy enough to have thick layers or foam a...
