Power supply. CX400w is getting a bit noisy. I hope to replace it with a OCZ Modular 500w PSU.

Tho bad SPCR didnt review it.

Intels new atom can do that using a PicoPSU. Also if your getting gigabit ethernet LAN/out get a decent card (with a Intel controller which support TCP offloading).

Good temps. I think you can get them down a little more by using a little less or more thermal paste.

True, tower heatsinks with bolt-on designs will certainly keep the heatsink in place. However, simple physics dictates the farther away (taller) the weight is from the motherboard, the greater the potential for stress to be applied during shipping. If there is enough stress, the motherboard could f...

Its better to shut down the pump when you arent using the pc (or when its powered off)

Hows the PSU? i have one of those cases (and hardware, thanks school ) but the psu is loudd.

Hi there I wanted to use an SLI system with each card having an accelero S1 with 2 nexus fans. but that takes up 3 pci slots!! (according to my estimates) That would basically cover my entire mother board, and not allow my to have any other cards How do you guys have quiet cards and still have a mo...

I can post them 4 ya. PM me with the URL's.

So - did anyone actually put their hands on this case? After time without using computer in my studio, I'm changing it about, so looking at the Antec Take 4 once again. I cant see any review on the site.... Not even sure what the PSU is in it or if it can be swapped if needed - there is not even a ...

Something that adds weight to the panels is likely to be necessary. Thin(1-2mm) bitumen sheets are plenty effective if you can cover most of the surface area. Though satisfied with the current result with a CM Stacker I'll never buy an Alu case again if I can avoid it, although steel cases tend to ...

I recently put a Scythe Setsugen on my Asus CuCore 5770. It idles at 33C and stabilizes at 61C in Furmark. I did a hybrid mounting scheme because the backplate and screw/nut system from Scythe took up too much room and physically interfered with my Mugen2. I used AS 5 for the TIM rather than the in...

Concluding? A card which has the back panel connectors not stacked* with a setsugen works the best?

This is what i mean by non-stacked connectors

I only mount tower heatsinks with bolts. That way they stay secure even when the package is not handled properly.

ACK-ATI775

Damn, i thought i spelled it right :$ Sorry

What blocks do you have in your setup? Because mixing copper and alu (reserator alu pump/heatsink combo) isnt good. It creates corrosion.

Ok I just ordered one. When its here ill test it and mod it to a pure 3pin.

Damn belgian Haha great where r u from? I know some ppl there.

Yup You can go north, east, south and west side

Well, if you get a decent drive go internal USB :) Both still are flash memory. So they wont last much writes. If your OS has much writes to one of the flash memory options dont get em. You can get low power but you'd better get a SSD (some 2nd hand SSD which was made in the beginning of the SSD tec...

Hello SPCR :) First of all. The case: P180 mini + 2x nexus real silent as case fans (one as outtake, one as bottom front intake). I have a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 on my CPU. Because i have a Scythe Kaze Master Ace (which i havent mounted yet) im thinking about mounting a Nexus Real Silent on my cpu coole...

My opinion: why would they do it? Imagine your computer is a a car. Why would you put a ferrari engine block in a ford GT? A: why would ferrari or ford would make standardized holes? That way its harder to create a new car (you have restrictions). If you say. A cooler is an aftermarket part. Why on ...

Thermalright HR01! Damn friggin good performance in low-airflow situations (so you can use a Nexus Real silent to cool it )

Any S775 cooler + Xigmatek ACK775 bolt thru kit (ACK775 "converts" the mounting holes for AM2/AM3 to S775 holes.

HR01 is your friend

I would have put that system together for you but i live in holland

That is seriously amazing! Looks sooo nice!

Oh yeah, now THAT is getting to be a super serious SILENT machine! Nice job! Thanks :$ I hope to mount my fan controller this week. Also im thinking to get a nexus real silent on the CPU cooler and control it by the fan controller. Now i just need to get some cable that just sends the RPM signal to...

If you want to mount the cooler in a back to front airflow you could get this accesory from Xigmatek ACK-ATI775 with that thingey you can mount your cooler in 4 ways not in 2 ways. It creates a S775 mounting for the AM2/3 platform.

Your life will get real good and real quiet when you replace that Intel Crap Cooler. They really suck bigtime. I ended up with a Noctua 9B but there are plenty that would be fine. Yup absolutely. I replaced it last thursday :) The fan doesnt ramp up at all! constantly about 820RPM. Update: Replaced...

If you like it keep it

NXZT is a quality brand. Volt range looks good also.

Haha thanks. Im thinking of getting a Arctic F12 PWM fan to match looks. But im first thinking to use the fan which was in the box if its silent enough.
