Hey all,

I've read about the F3's humming noise but only scattered comments. I'd like to have more information so I need your feedback, especially from users who have their HDDs suspended (if that helps with the noise).



Thanks in advance.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!




SPCR mustn't die!

(will the forum still remain at least?)

Need opinions on the Sharkoon Vibe Fixer.

Considering it looks exactly like a NoVibes, can one assume it's as good?

Ok, I just ordered this cooler. Thanks for the review SPCR. In the review it is clear that @5v the fans are inaudible while @12v they are a bit loud. I was thinking by myself why not use my old zalman fanmate 2 with this gpu cooler as the fanmate can as low as 5v. Is there one wire for both fans to...

I'm not buying it.....

Anyone?

It's what I'll get if/when I RMA my HX520. Trying to decide if it's worth the bother considering shipping is 30 €.

Hi,

It seems the Corsair HX650 isn't talked about much over here. Is it because it's so noisy no one cares about it?
How quiet/noisy is it compared to the HX520/620?

That last comment was mine

Are you sure? A Scythe rep/forum mod and a user both said that the URK 3 won't work with socket 1155, so unless 1156 is significantly different...

Has anyone had any success in using the original Scythe Ninja (not rev. b) with socket 1156?

What kind of adapter works?

Just a couple of corrections (you wouldn't expect any less from the resident Spelling/Grammar Nazi-wannabe!) :twisted: The board ships with a terrible-sounding fan with tonal tendencies. It started at about 1900 RPM (18~19 dBA@1m) when we set the fan control mode to" Standard." (you forgot to add a ...

Do you have any plans to review the Samsung F3 1TB?

Enjoyable review Mike! Typo patrol! Page 3: "With the Rockus, the satellites are not producing any bass, [Aalmost] all of it is coming from the woofer box at my feet." Page 6: "It should; the Rockus most likely has [power] powerful [amplfiers], and there are probably three of them, compared to the ...

This is just the review I've been waiting for!

Thank you!


The only thing missing was a Samsung F3 1TB. It's cheap, really fast but reports all over the Web state that it hums loudly.

Just a little typo at the very last sentence of page 5: "So even if you overclock to gain performance, there is no extra power penality at idle." --> penalty ;) I don't know when you started this review but there was a new BIOS released on the 27th, it supposedly reduces boot time. There's also a ne...

Let us know how it worked out for you (did it still hum?)

I'm going to resurrect this old topic to ask about the F3. Does it also hum when suspended? I have two other mechanical HDD (both WD) suspended inside my Solo and I was thinking about adding an F3 instead of a Caviar Blue as it's cheaper and faster.

Hmm... another Lian Li case review. Maybe you'll do a Lancool* case review next?




* That's Lian Li dressed in steel and plastic for those who don't know

Are you for real ? Yes I am. And unlike you, I'll use logic. If I want a quiet computer for programing do I need a Geforce GTX 580 ? answer is a resounding NO! Or if I want a digital audio workstation do I need "better" video card ? No again. You're the only one mentioning a GTX 580. Noticed how I ...

A decent 3rd party cooler would be quiet enough, no need to limit yourself in both choice and performance by only going with passive solutions.

That computer needs a way better video card. What's the challenge in using a passively cooled low mid-end card? And with that kind of hardware, a 5750 feels out of place.

Just a small nitpick, but you should've chosen this DDR3 kit instead (better suited for P67 and Sandy Bridge )

It's OOS though

That... was disappointing (the case, not the article)


Also, MikeC, you've got mail!

Right-click the link and click "Open".

The rest of us want the normal way, links opening in new tabs. Why should we have to have extra work because a minority want it the obsolete way?

That's right.

Now Crossfire two of them!

Oh that's OK. I only need it to backup the disks. I have ISO backups of all my games/movies, I don't use DVDs any more.
