Cooler Master Sileo might be pretty good. Of course you can take any antec NSK 3400 or NSK 4400 series case and pad it your self.

Uhm... wow That is sweet build! Congrats of nice rig. You've made a lot modifications that are very impressive. Thank you for sharing ^^

@ Klusu: No I don't think Sapphire can automaticly control any fan. Same was with 4-pin stock fan. Compearing L2 pro vs S1: S1 performs better with fan, but not by as large margin as I expected. I should conduct more tests to actually test how much better S1 does. S1 is huge which his problem for so...

That all actually depends on your ambedient noise level and what kind of hearing you have. Personally I say WD black is audiable. I have 640 GB WD Black suspended in Antec 300. But its not nearly as bad as 160 Gb SeaGate it replaced. But with enough quiet components WD black will be most audiable th...

Hi!

Many members have used full sized 80 mm fan blades to replace their VF-900's fan. Nexus 80mm RealSilent is nice option. It takes three slots then but is quieter. With Search Function you can search if you can find the pictures.

Yeah, its me again. I was really bored today so I decided to play again with my Sapphire HD 4850. I yesterday fitted S1 rev. 2 on it with 2x 92mm fans. I also had Accelero L2 Pro. Now the little devil on my shoulder whispered on my eyers why not test that too, so here I went. So what does roughly 15...

I know I know only one fan or no fans at all. But 1000 RPM 92mm fans are slow moving fans that also do not push that much air. I decided to use 2x 92mm fans so I could spread air flow nicely over VRM and memories too. Once I install Akasa Fan Control Jr on the case I'll undervolt both fans slightly....

Hello everyone! I was bored and found back of my closet 2x 1000 RPM S-flex 92mm's and AC Accelero S1 Rev 2. The Sapphire's stock cooler does decent job but is audiable. I was almost pulling trigger on AC TwinTurbo Pro but hey, since I got Accelero S1 rev 2 why buy another. The Sapphire HD 4850 512MB...

Led Fans are different than most half-decent fans due they are made clear and bristle plastic that gives completely different type of sound. One reason I abandoned led lights in fans and went CCFL way in Game rig ( that and I hate blue leds )

YL has 140mm 100 RPM variant for Sleeve and Ballbearings. I have used 140mm YL for 2 years horizontally despite its sleeve bearing version no problem.

There ain't such thing really. Only thing closest are Scythe Kaze Q as 4 channel input system but no led and others bells nor whistles. Asking led illumination with turn off method in 3,5" is quite a lot to ask. If you just need good 3,5" 4 channel controller without fancy leds and turn off method, ...

Religion is not needed, Faith is essential. I've always seen faith (i.e. treating untested beliefs like unshakeable truth) as a completely false virtue, and these days I agree with Richard Dawkins that faith is comparable to the deadliest diseases in the damage it has caused. I look at the worst at...

andyb, I just want to add that not just religion but any idiology that has personal worship or personal cult will make good people do bad things. We've seen that in Soviet Union, North Korea (and see that) and we've seen that in Cambodia. Religion or religion-like idiology that allows fanaticisim is...

Religion is not needed, Faith is essential. Problem in all organized religion is that eventually someone is going to be a top dog and then he gets a lot power. And power corrupts. Every major religion should get good wash up and reform in every 500 years or so. I don't think religious scriptures are...

Wow!

Not really...

SI-128 SE should come standard the bolt thru kit and not push-pins. At least my model came with bolt thru. That 775 rev 2 kit except multi support backplate. installation Check that link. Does your cooler have those little gaps in each fin? Are you sure you have SI-128 SE and not the regular SI-128?

Looks balanced but if you going to use stock cooler it won't be that quiet. Check some Xigmatek coolers. They're nice (just check its i5 compatible)

When you have you cleaned dust out of that system last time? In dust build up it might clog in the heatsink and increase the temperatures.

Everyone as they please... Still nobody hasn't scientificly tested this one.

Also I find it interesting that fan blows away from the PCB and not towards. Way the fan is placed near PCB should make air move around PCB components too, prvoding sufficient cooling for most components. Slim Kazy-Jyu has poor impedance properties though, I wonder how it will affect...

Is it actually verified and tested to be true that sleeve bearing fans are not "suitable" for Horizontal or is it theory or urban legend? I think it depends manufacturer. I've run 140mm SleeveBearing YL horizontally nearly 2 years without problems. GT's won't disapoint however. I Find their sound qu...

Apple doesn't make excellent products. Apple make good products usually but they don't sell products like other corporations. They sell image, way of life that can be obtained by buying an Apple's device. Apple's customer's service and way they have treated their customer's is amazing and its no won...

Wow! I never realized I have been spamming in 3 years around 3000 posts making it average around 1000 post per year! I haven't got banned yet so that is also positive thing :lol: Thank you all for making this community a nice place to be. A lot people have managed to challenge my own builds and thei...

Setsugen is indeed interesting fan. Slimmer than AC1 rev.2 + 120mm fan. There are many interesting new VGA cooler's now in market. I am waiting more reviews of Setsugen. It does look very, very promising.

Hello! Few things for you: Manufacturer's ratings for CFM and noise are not generally very accurate and they cannot be used direct measurement with SPCR's measurement due different testing methods. You don't need to maintain same RPM's or same CFM's. Quiet cooling is about having necessary amount of...

Hello, welcome to the forum!

To increase effectiveness of the Cooler, I suggest you will duct it to the rear exhaust- This will quarantee the cooling capacity of the CPU

Now 5750 can run pretty hot passively, so do think getting slowspeed 500-800rpm fan and attach it on cooler if necessary.

I wish that people would not only support the unborn life, but also the born life. Double standards are human being's nature. Its unfortunate but aslong human is alive, he or she will have more or less double standards. All we really can do is to have less double standards than men average. Since m...

Hello! Welcome to the forums! Imho HAF maybe loud but its not worse case to silence. However be ready to spend some extra money on fans. Front fan is problematic due its clear plastic. If it annoys you, you could swap top from which is black plastic into front and use 1x 120mm or 2x 120mm fan as exh...

Accelero is surefire. My HD 4850 runs low 30's in idle with Accelero S1 and 120mm 800rpm scythe ziptied.

Akasas weakneses are: clear plastic, integrated fan that cannot be changed, small diameter blower fan is usually high toanlity and not smooth, especially with clear plastic.

Cheap ones are rarely quiet. PSU is one of the components you don't want to cut much corners because poor PSU can frie your motherboard, CPU, VGA card and HDD. Good PSU can deal with power spikes and protect your hardware.
