RivaTuner: setting it up - a tutorial
Interested in getting software to control fan speed for my video card (an NVidia - essential for this software) I soon found RivaTuner. After messing with it for a bit I couldn't figure out how to get it working with a "stepping" fan speed like ATItool has (which doesn't work for my card - the temp ...

After market cooler for 8800 series?
I tried to find one, but haven't found any. They're still developing new heatsinks or adjusting current ones? The VF900 should be nice or an Arctic cooling. Does anyone know if there already are after market items, or maybe if some are in the making? I'm not planning on buying an 8800 any time soon,...

I read some reviews here and there, found SPCR and read their Seasonic plus review, read JohnnyGuru's review of it as well. At the time I was doubting between Seasonic and OCZ, after seeing the ripples of the OCZ on Johnny's I went with the Seasonic. People who read a few reviews and google for a bi...

Re: case temp vs fan noise v air circulation
Naturally the faster you replace the air inside the case the cooler it becomes but also the noisier it gets. Having a lot of airflow will make it more turbulent (noise) but it will also just push air through the case that will never come into direct contact with a hot part (not that this is needed ...

Maybe I'm mistaken, but if this fits inside your case, you could run 2x 92 mm fans undervolted with still a decent airflow. On the other hand, like nici says, the surface is about the same, which means about 50% of total surface for each fan to cool down. I'm sort of interested... I think it's way t...

It does have 2x 120 mm fans in the back (and 1x 120 mm fan in front - take out the toolkit box behind it). You could seriously undervolt the two rear fans and still get enoug...

This is more advice then I hoped for! I know the airflow is not additive, and I only listed the specs of the manufacturer because that's all I have... So according to Thermaltake, intake is (2x front and 1x side) * 32 CFM, the exhaust is (2x rear) * 32 CFM + whatever the PSU will move, but I doubt t...

a and b: agreed c: there are no general guidelines as to the amount of CFM through a case should be? Fro instance, there seems to be a consensus on the amount of RPM a heatsink fan should operate on (120 mm: 800 - 1400 for decent cooling and low noise). If these guidelines should be present it would...

Airflow: Amount of CFM in / through a case
First off, this will ofcourse be highly dependent of what case and what components are used. I'd like to know if there are general guidelines as for an optimal airflow, taking cooling and noise into consideration.

That sounds good. But what happens in the rear of the case is less then optimal, I think. Because most fans of heatpiped HS's are elevated, half of the air sucked out is from the bottom (good) but the other half is from the top, which was meant to go through the heatsink. Maybe a simple piece of car...

Inverted airflow
This may have to do with some historics. Why do cases have intake fans in the front and outtake fans in the back? With heatsinks and fans getting bigger and bigger, space becomes a bit crowded. A while ago, letting cool air in, then at some point reach the heatsink fan to cool it, then letting it ou...

That is weird... For the Ultra-90 they have an optional S-clip so you can fit it in a more efficient way: S-clip (middle of page) It's a mounting clip for Ultra-90 and HR-01 in the form of an S which allows you to freely orientate the heatsink on the S939/AM2 bracket. Perhaps this S-clip is not mean...
