One other point to keep in mind is that the enclosure remains useful for its form factor's lifetime. I have a Smart Drive that's had probably 4 different HDs in it over the years, and it has reduced the noise of them all. In that light, an extra $30 or so is money well spent. Compare that to a $50 h...

Please post your results. We haven't seen much discussion about undervolting pumps. FYI, next time you take the loop apart, you can mod the radiator to improve bleeding. Get a brass, sheet metal screw & rubber washer, then drill a hole in the upper end tank to fit. Crack the screw when filling, and ...

Can't believe I've missed this thread... From newest to oldest: Dell 2209WA - Very quiet, high-frequency whine. Brightness does not affect it, but the image modulates the volume. I can usually hear a bright picture, while a dark image is effectively silent. Annoying when I notice it, but even a slig...

We have to restrict our formal comments on the products we know and/or have reviewed. We actually don't know the HX450, and until we do it's not wise for us to comment. So what's with the following line from the Antec Signature 650's comments? Note: The 850 was not reviewed, but we have every confi...

Have you seen SPCR's Q9550S review?rookhawk wrote:[The Q9550S] is currently the fastest quad core CPU and that particular model ($100 more for the s) gets you a 65W core instead of the hotter running 95W core such as the one I used. (95w is still within spec for the case however)

Prolimatech Megahalems Thermalright U120E Xigmatek HDT-S1283 Noctua NH-U12P Zalman CNPS10X Extreme Thermolab Baram These have large enough fin surface area and tight fin spacing to make 2-fan push-pull worthwhile. Not the Ninja or HR01. I nominate the Zerotherm Zen FZ120 for t...

...then improving it to 0% would actually lower temp in real conditions, where the thermal load does not stay steady, but instead bounces up and down depending on what the user is asking of the computer. MikeC, I'm disappointed to see you write this. Better heat transfer certainly affects steady-st...

I'm not dismissing WW - I've used it in both my WC PC & racing karts - but its properties are not unique. eh, it changes the flow of the water by a LOT. makes the water lose its surface tension. Real cheapskates* can achieve the same result with 1 drop of dishwashing soap (e.g. Dawn) per gallon of d...
