Passive Highend Idea

I have an idea! Try getting this openair case. Then use a Borg HPC on the processor, a Borg HGC at the graphic card and a Borg HBC on the motherboard and lead them to the top of the case. There you figure out a way to mount a Ninja to each heatpipe and mount the heatpipes there without risking falli...

Yes, thats why I got them to, I read reviews and such, but I got very dissapointed in the end. Maybe you should buy one just to satisfy your curiosity about them, I actually think its very strange that I found so little negative about them when they sucked alot, maybe it was something wrong with the...

Thanks for all the answers, good info! :D I thought of something else when I watched that review... 1) Does the "8 Phase Power Design" on the P5B Deluxe make that board cooler then the P5B that dont have the feature, even though the P5B Deluxe consumes more power? From ASUS: "8-Phase Power Design de...

1) But.. Isnt the numbers with the 7900GTX card and everything? I thought a very high power supply was needed for that.. not a 300W one. 2) I looked at another page with Watt consumation, it must be very wrong then. http://www.pcpowercooling.com/technology/power_usage/ 3) The watt calculation page i...

This is my case Im not running my 9800 pro passive now, and to both increase the heat by choosing passive cooling and increase the watt might not be to good since I read some people who get lockups with the 9800 pro when they try with a passive solution. I dont know if the X1800 XL can withstand mo...

I have seen some people on this forum using SLI... As I understand it, the processor fan cools both the graphic card and the CPU, because the arm should be on top of the CPU and share the same fan, that makes it not entirely passive after all, but I might be misstaken.. Im not sure if a SI-120 would...

120 mm Fan

Hello!
This is my first post in this forum.

Can you add this fan to the review list?
Scythe S-FLEX™ 120mm, 800 rpm version (S-FLEX SFF21D)

m3/h:56
cfm:33.5
dBa:8.7

Im no expert, but that looks very silent to me, can it be true?
