It's pretty efficient but it's still the same as a celeron. I'd stay away from it. Guess you never had your hands on Celeron E3300 they overclock like mad,run quiet and cool,power effcient. There not i7 but not everyone wants power sucking 125 watt CPU. I just a bought Sempron 140 resently for basi...

Well if you want something that big SPCR reviewed the Zalman ZM1000-HP and it's on the approved list.

Years later and the good old TRUE can still hang with the best of them it was good investment and excellent piece of engineering on Thermalright's part.

Nexus fans although good slient fans use sleeve bearings which wareout fast with heavy usage. The scythe s-flex series uses Ball bearing type bearing they call it the sony fluid dynamic bearing that last far longer then the Nexus fans and are just as quiet according to SPCR approved list. You should...

If you need keep the raid then switch your harddrives, Seagate drives are loud as hell. Try Samsung F3,F4,500GB WD5000AAKS or Raid WD Greens those known as quiet harddrives but anyway you slice it that number of drivers is going be noisy. You could try a different case like the Factual Design R3 XL ...

Looks to me like it's all those harddrives,stock cooler,Tri cool fan. Why not ditch the raid buy 3TB,2TB WB green and for the OS SSD or 500GB harddrive like the WD5000AAKS. I would swap all the current fans for Scythe S-flex 800,1200rpm/Nexus and for the CPU cooler Thermalright HR-02 if you can get ...

I would ditch the SSD buy Samsung HD F4,F3 1TB, SSD is small and over rated. HD6870 if you can afford it and scrap the Noctual fans go for Sycthe S-flex 1200rpm instead. Exchange the Ninja 3 for Thermalright HR-02. Power supply get something by Seasonic the X650 Gold.

Finally the Accelero S1 Rev. 2 now supports the HD6850 looks like they say you need the new VR001 chipsinks set and turbo module. VR001 are forsale at there webstore cheap but it's just bunch chipsinks. You could use your own chipsinks to cool the VRM and zip tie your choice of 120mm fan on it inste...

Well it's nice PC but your choice of components is very poor for a slient pc. Most of what you bought are known to be extremely loud. You've built towards performance rather then slience it's possible to strike balance but two times ultra jet plane sounding GTX 470 are the worst. Case will have to g...

Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus it's cheap and slient enough if you don't like the fan you can change it easy.

That's the impression the rep made on the Johnny Guru thread that all Corsairs lines will now be CWT so I assume yes.

The rep says this is a resent change so I'm guess most the Corsair stock floating around is still Seasonic but it will run dry. I personally would avoid buying Corsair unless you want to gamble or buy it locally and check the labels. CWT isn't known for there slient PSU either.

rpsgc, thank you. That news is bad. Here in my country that PSU is one of only available quiet PSU for sale. Do you know if CMPSU-450VX also began to be made by CWT? Corsair rep on the Johnny Guru forum confirmed that all Corsair PSU will be CWT even the 450VX. I've return my my TX650W and I'm rath...

nvm

A reviewer in Newegg said this: "Any TX650 purchased now is completely different internally from one purchased over a year ago. They are now built by CWT like the TX750/850/950 and not Seasonic". It is true? This untrue the TX650 is Seasonic supply Corsair didn't change them at all the TX750 etc wh...

Corsair HX 520W all the way your not going get any better then other then being expensive it's just modular Seasonic, nothing more to say other then that.

Does anyone know if a S1 rev2 could fit onto a 460GTX? I kinda want it over a 6850. Tesselation works better. I also know of no one that uses 4x aa, 2x aa is quit a huge jump visually, 4x is miniscule, and AF, well the first level of it at like 4x does immense amouint as well. Also, I know of no on...

If your 6600 GT has dual DVI why not replace the stock cooler with the Arctic Cooling Accelero S2 plus Turbo Module it would be cheaper then replacing the card and slient.

Keep the drive as a single partition. You'll be getting an SSD system drive sooner or later anyway. ;) Or if you really doubt that, one partition at about 100GB for operating system and games would keep the performance-important files from mixing with the data/music. SSD is highly overated,expensiv...

You should avoid the sleeve bearing Slipstreams all together they have history for failing after few months no matter how cheap there, there just not reliable fans. Just read some of the user reviews at newegg, NCIX etc... you'll see my point. Your better off going with the FDB Scythe S-Flex. The S-...

Doesn't replace the GT 240 at all there testing GT 240 DDR3 version which is well a cripped version of the GT 240. The GT 240 DDR5 would blow the GT 430 away because basicly the GT 240 DDR5 is nothing more then lower power version of the 9600 GT. GT 240 DDR5 is still better value they can be found a...

Looks like the Samsung Spinpoint F3 is best choice for 1TB drive no idea about 2TB but I'm glad I never bought one the WD Black 1TB noise maker. There loud and viberate alot I'm surpised there so popular with these major flaws.

Antec TruePower New TP-550/TP-650 has extremely high failure rate on Newegg sounds like the True Power all over again. I would check some the OEM versions of the Seasonics power supplies if I was you.

Try the Antec 300 tons of airflow, solid and cheap.

Your joking right? TX650W is enough to run 2 GTX 460s with no problems. If you must have larger supply but it's not need look at the Antec TruePower 750W.

danimal wrote:replace the 5770's with gtx460's, and put the antec fans on low, or replace 'em.

Why the hell would he do that the HD 5770 runs cooler and quieter then GTX 460.

I swear to onboard sound, but i use optical output, not analog Which bypasses all their lack of quality and most of their horribly broken drivers. Onboard sound bi passes all quality anyone serious about gaming or movies will not stick to crappy onboard sound. If you believe onboard sound sounds go...

As far as I know it was one the first 80+ supplies I knew existed. I'm just curious which would be a closer match in fan control,noise the S12II or the SS-650HT OEM.

S12 Energy+ is the black version. There is newer version S12II there different slightly but I'm looking to find out if the same as the S12 Energy+.

Hello, Does anyone own the SeaSonic SS-650HT OEM version is the supply the same as the old S12 Energy+? I noticed the specs are the same but it lacks the fancy the black finish and cable sleaving which I don't care about. SeaSonic SS-650HT OEM : http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
