    cooler suggestions for a completely passive 2390T build ?

    @Tsumi and @BlueFireIce i can always go for completely passive and then if all else fails add a 500rpm fan, but i'd like to at least try. is it just me or is the hr-02 discontinued ? and whats the relation of the hr-02 to the hr-02 "macho" i still see being sold? can the macho variant run...

    cooler suggestions for a completely passive 2390T build ?

    Hi. I plan on doing a completely passive build based on a core i5-2390T (35 watts TDP). i would also ideally like to fit this into some small mini-itx case (ideally the m350, but im willing to go for something larger if i have to). depending on the case the psu would either be external (hence...

    passive low profile cooling and undervolting mini-itx MB for core i3-2120T?

    Hi. i want to build a completely passive computer around the core i3-2120T (because its 35w TDP and i dont really plan on heavy lifting with it) and, ideally, the m350 case (http://www.mini-box.com/M350-universal-mini-itx-enclosure) - which is tiny. my problem is i cant find any passive...

    best 80/92 PWm fan for use with aftermarket cooler ?

    Hi. im planning to replace the cooling on a radeon 4870 with some aftermarket cooler. by looking around at reviews i saw that the best aftermarket coolers keep the card at around the same temps, only quieter. im planning on replacing the cooling and then replacing the fans (usually 2 of them)...

    s775 CPU +cooler suggestions for really small M350 case

    well, i built the machine, so far using a stock intel low profile cooler, and IC diamond thermal paste. CPU temps are maybe 10-15 degress celcius over ambient, which i consider good, but the cooler itself is very loud. so far i've managed to buy ~4-5 degrees by strapping a ~220mm fan (taken...

    s775 CPU +cooler suggestions for really small M350 case

    by looking at reviews around the web i see this cooler performs slightly worse than the stock cooler at idle, and roughly the same under load. problem is i dont know the relation between the stock intel 775 cooler performance and that of the low-profile intel 775 cooler, so i have no direct...

    fitting the thermalright IFX-14/10 combo on a 790i ultra reference board design

    newegg just posted the evga 790i ultra board on their site and have included a photo of the underside of it. i've marked in red the areas around the CPU socket that i think might protrude enough to prevent the backplate from fitting: teal are the holes for the CPU heatsink installation. what...

    fitting the thermalright IFX-14/10 combo on a 790i ultra reference board design

    Hi. im looking into components for my upcoming build, which will be air cooled (dont feel confident enough to go for water cooling, and im actually hoping to pull off a passive / close to passive build). by looking at air cooler benchmarks i've found that the thermalright IFX-14 seems to be...

    Air coolers...we may be moving to a new age!

    here's an interesting thought : if you stick enough blue LEDs in the aforementioned case you'll get a "killer" combination silent PC / zapping bug trap :-) seriously though, these things ionize small particles in the air, and then exert electical fields on those particles to provide the "push"...
