    BenQ BL3200PT - blackscreen

    I have a problem with my BenQ BL3200PT display - all of a sudden, not preceeded by any HW change, nor Windows update (at least I think so). It was working fine and the other day, I just turned my PC on and the display is SHOWING only black. I can't see a POST screen, not even OSD menu (LCD...

    Silent 3.5" HDD 3TB+

    So after I've tested several 3.5"and 2.5" HDDs I've ended up with following combination: 2.5" Seagate BarraCuda 2 TB in 5.25" Himuro with foam under the drive and piece of 2mm thick thermal pad between upper drive casing and himuro - to transfer heat + add little pressure to the center of the...

    Silent 3.5" HDD 3TB+

    Already got NAS, or a custom Windows server to be more specific, but stuff I need to run has to be on my PC :-) Himuro just arrived, so I'll try it with RE4 (guess it won't be silent enough), then I'll order Toshiba DT01ACA300 and next one will be WD RED.

    Silent 3.5" HDD 3TB+

    mls1995: thanks for the tip. Ranulfo: Define Nano is nice, I've built couple of systems with it, I'd love this one on my table but unfortunately, I'ts all occupied by a 32" LCD panel so I have to stick with Core 500 which fits into a bookshelf next to it.

    Silent 3.5" HDD 3TB+

    Yes, it's drive itself as you said. I've forgot about the ambient noise - my "limit" is Noctua P14s as an outtake fan @ 400 RPM, case is in the bookshelf approx. 1 meter (3 feet 3⅜ inches) apart from my head :-) I've ordered Himuro, I'll try it too, but I guess I'll have to test another 3.5"...

    Silent 3.5" HDD 3TB+

    PigLover: Let me explain, I'm not trying to achieve something that can't be achieved :-) Thing is, I'm using SSD only systems (with no HDD, or for data only, which means 95% time off) for, say, 8 years maybe ? So I'm not that familiar with current HDDs available when it comes to the noise, it...

    Silent 3.5" HDD 3TB+

    Can't put the case on the floor too, not enough space, I would be kicking all the time into it :-) As I said, got 3 TB 2.5" drive + 3.5" Himuro Mini + 5.25" Himuro as a last resort. Wanted to at least try 3.5" drive (I can return hardware for 2 weeks for a full refund for any reason), just...

    Silent 3.5" HDD 3TB+

    Well, I've consideredt almost all things you mentioned :-) I can't move the case, got no other place for it except the bookshelf next to my table, so - it has to be Mini-ITX, thus, adding noise isolation or replacing it for bigger one allowing it isn't an option. point 2 - can't stand...

    Silent 3.5" HDD 3TB+

    Say I'm a bit sensitive to the noise when I'm working during the night and my WD RE4 isn't acceptable in this regard (not surprised it's loud, it's a server HDD after all), I've tried to silence it by hanging in the 5.25" bay using 5mm paracord as a suspension, there was some imporvement, but...

    HDD keeps waking up - activity logger

    Hello, I'm using SSD for OS and all programs + also have 1 TB WD RE4 installed - just for backups and some multimedia. Got Doom 3 installed on it since it has 60 GB, but steam client is off all the time, so it shouldn't be waking HDD up. Thing is, it keeps randomly waking up - then it spins...

    MSI GTX 1070 Gaming 8G - stock fans replacement

    I've checked the card yesterday and luckilly, it's not bent, just looked like that on photo :-) Moreover, thanks to the heat from GPU, PSU cables are nicely formed and don't push the GPU at all :-D And the shroud doesn't touch the inside of the case or dust filter, so, it's just a shitty fans...

    MSI GTX 1070 Gaming 8G - stock fans replacement

    Well, I took a closer look on that photo and maybe you're right - it could be the fan against dust filter installed from inside... Card could be bent too - modular cables from PSU might be pushing it away on the right. I was already thinking about fastening those cables to the PSU casing firmly...

    MSI GTX 1070 Gaming 8G - stock fans replacement

    primetime: don't worry, I'm not that clumsy, but as I said, there is so little space in that case, makes everything complicated, unlike standard ATX tower. Custom fan curve in Afterburner is set from the begining :-) Kwaz: mine is buzzing at high FPS, I think that it is called "coil whine" ...

    MSI GTX 1070 Gaming 8G - stock fans replacement

    Well, I'm located in the wild east (Europe), I think that this would pose a bigger complication than just a too few posts on the forum :-D Frankly, it doesn't bother me to that extent that I would consider to go thru "sell -> then try another " procedure as long as it is passively cooled under...

    MSI GTX 1070 Gaming 8G - stock fans replacement

    I've bought that card like 2 months ago, so, return not possible :-)
