I will be running Gskill RipjawX 2x4gb and an i5 4690k. I don't care for the huge coolers and would like it to be as quiet as possible because I'll have 2 pcs in the same room. The Noctua's are a little pricey for me. I was looking at the AC freezer i11 and 13 because their website claims they...

Trying to keep my new build cool and quiet. Wondering if I should go for a Corsair H55 or save a few bucks and get a quiet air cooler like an Artic Cooling Freezer i11. Not planning on overclocking and I'm using a Nanoxia DS4 here is a sample setup with watercooler...

So other than saying I'm "not allowed to use it anymore" they won't actually stop me from using it?

Thanks. I didn't know if they went out of their way to cancel those types of licenses. I would think the cracked versions of their software would be more of a concern. But I guess that's why they are migrating to the cloud. I guess i'll have to snag a copy of office 2010 too. I wait to see what...

I'm doing a computer build for my girlfriend. She used to go to a university that offered Window 7 Professional to students for $14.95. She transferred last semester to a different school and still has access to her old student account and can still purchase from the computer lab. They make you...

Amazon 80$ today only. It's nothing special just better than normal and no rebate crap to deal with.

Doing 2 builds in a http://www.amazon.com/Nanoxia-Silence-Micro-ATX-Motherboard-Controllers/dp/B00DSFEQKY and there is a pretty good sale on the Corsair RM550 wondering if this would work well and what the opinions are on these PSU's

Thanks I didn't know they made something like that. Do you if you cant make the fans on the MSI spin slower rather than completely off? I'm sure the fans at a couple hundred rmps wouldn't be audible and could keep temps down better.

I am going to be using a single card and 2 ssd's and hopefully a water cooler for cpu(not sure what will fit similar to the picture I linked h55?). I believe I saw in a review that there are also holes on the bottom to mount an ssd on the inside-bottom of the case between the psu and hdd cages.

Yeah the Nanoxia DS4 is almost exactly the same as the Fractal Mini except the Nanoxia has a removable front filter and you can remove more of the HDD cages (I plan on removing all but the very bottom one) The bottom 3 cages on the Fractal Mini aren't removable. This is what I am hoping to do...

So far the MSI is looking the best. I don't do very strenuous gaming, mostly mmo's and moba's so the hybrid fan mode might be good. I wonder if when the fans kick on they start going crazy trying to cool the card fast?

I'm worried with a cooler designed like that it will blow the hot air around inside of the case rather than helping move the air out.

Doing a build in a Nanoxia Deep Silence 4 http://www.amazon.com/Nanoxia-Silence-Micro-ATX-Motherboard-Controllers/dp/B00DSFEQKY Looking for the best card to keep my case quiet and cool. I know there's tons of different cooler designs coming out.

Wasn't really looking to do the form myself. The Nanoxia DS4 its almost identical to the Fractal Mini except the Nanoxia has removable front filters and more of the drive cages are removable. It is also cheaper. Now I have to find a gtx 970 that will remove heat from the case and not just blow...
