Re: TJ08-E, going for near silent
Notice here I've swapped the rubber feet for a stack of two felt pads used for furniture - makes the computer slide superbly when I want to move it around under my desk, did the same with the sub from my 2.1 speakers :wink: Also bunched up all external cables neatly, and fitted the power strip and e...

TJ08-E, going for near silent
I moved my HW out from a much loved Antec P180 because i don’t think I’ll ever need ATX size motherboards anymore so then I could have a smaller case. I saw this new m-ATX case and fell in love - flipped MB – 180mm fan !! I bought it as soon as could get my hands on it (not much love for the fan tho...

Re: New DAW build for music production
If they will build you the system and install Windows with updates and drivers... you could pay 20euro and get the stock Intel cooler (almost same price as tray I think).

No, I really think someone (...) should have done this a long time ago.

The MB never had any idea what...

Re: Quiet (not silent) 120mm case fan with high static press
My experience with the Noctua rubber thingies is that you can just yank them off. Make sure you dont hit anything valuable inside your case when they let go. Then you can use them again. They might break, of course - you can try to use needlepliers carefully positioned to squeeze the rubber to help ...

Re: 120mm vs 140mm
I've also wondered about this, because while a few popular 140mm fans has mounting holes that fits a 120mm fanmount - still the actual hole it blows/sucks through is maybe/often/easily to narrow (not 140mm) and will cause turbulence & noise?? I then also think, is the circumference of the airflow st...

You can easily make a high performance mini-ITX these days - silencing it is another matter, though.

The short answer is right, and the long answer is right too but i would perhaps change the word 'reason' with 'possibility' - because you can't have two controllers controlling one fan (unfortunately :o ).
