I had an issue with one fan that was a bit grindy, and SilverStone replaced it. After that, the 2 fans were a bit noisy, but it turned out they were touching each other, which probably created some kind of resonance. I moved them slightly and that solved it. Now it's quite silent, not...

Maybe the Alta d1 : https://hardforum.com/threads/silverstone-alta-d1.2039820/

Better late than never: Silverstone Alta D1 Seasonic prime 1600W Noctua edtion X870e Taichi 9800 X3D Noctua NH-D15S Chromax WD SN850x 2TB x2 RTX 3090 FE RTX 5090 suprim

I went with that case. Overall i am very happy with it. It’s higher than deep which is good for desk space. The build quality is very good. The airflow is very good as well. Everything is made of metal and feels sturdy. The removable MB tray is also a plus. I have a 1600w PSU so it’s enough but...

Hello, I am planning a new build. I am looking at the Silverstone Alta D1 as I love the look and it could easily fit my 2 GPUs for which I need at least 8 pci slots. For those who have recently built in a SilverStone case. Is the build quality in line with what the brand is charging? I have...

Thanks. 80° at 1500 -1600 is nice. Are you getting this with hardware temp monitoring or via custom software settings?

Hi Guys, I currently have a an EVGA 2080 XC with dual Noctua 25mm fan set as intake. Temps are OK (between 75 C and 78 C) however I find the noise level quite high (fans always reaching 2200 rpm). Has someone a 2080 XC Ultra with Noctua 15mm below? What about the temps and more important fan...

The board is great and I like the layout. The loaded Bios version was unstable but everything has been OK since I updated to the last version. Also UEFI settings are clear and well made. I have not installed any of the MSI utilities nor tried to OC the CPU. There is 3 fan headers which is...

Hi guys, I finished my build last week-end and wanted to share with you. Apart a compatibility problem with my damn card reader which triggered endless windows beeps and almost made me return the mobo everything has been great. I'm very happy with the case. Hats off to the designers...

If its passive speakers, I think a receiver will be needed. If active speakers, there is external sound cards like that http://us.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blaster-x-fi-surround-5-1-pro.

On the EU sites all cards affected are backordered. Seems they may be waiting for the new versions with thermal pads and new bios. Or maybe this is only due to the fact that EVGA is moving it's EU warehouse.

With enough fans in the case, should I go blower style or open air gtx 1070?

Thanks both! How is the temp with the C14s and 15mm fan? I think I will stay with the u9s since I received it already. NF-A15 seems indeed a good recommendation. Thanks. I will try this one and keep NF-P12 PWM for bottom. I have seen a few pics of U9s mounted vertically for top exhaust, did...

Hi, I finally didn't find any C14 and i'm going with u9S. What would be the recommended fan config with that cooler? I was thinking : - top exhaust with 2 fans push/pull on U9S. - One intake 120mm fan on the right of the side bracket (i understand left would not be possible with that CPU...

Thank you for the advice. I will return the u9s to amazon IT thanks to the 2 month return christmas period :-) I found a c14 on amazon de marketplace for eur 100 with delivery. There is still 2 units if someone is interested.
