    Looking for Quiet Low Profile CPU Heatsink

    Hi there I would help narrow down the choices if you let us know what motherboard its going on and the case you are using or at least the máximum height available, The bigger the heatsink its the slower you can run the fan.

    SFF APU build

    That case will only allow 55mm for a cpu cooler, the cooler you have chosen will just about cope with a 65w cpu, to use with a 95w cpu it will need to run the fan flat out and expect it to run hot, that cooler is quite small and Slim fan doesnt help either. at full speed that cooler will not be...

    Want to passively cool Q6600.

    Hi there As other people have suggested, you should get your tape measure out and check how much space height you have available and get the largest cooler that will fit. most tower cooler that use a 120mm fan are likely to need to need between 155mm and 160mm, if not try searching for a top...

    Hi There Air Tree I don't want to put you off, but I think your are under estimating the amount of work involved in creating a case and achieving a nice professional finish. Search the net and you will find a quite a few a mini itx builds, the great majority are based on a commercially...

    water cooled project

    Hi guys I borrowed an sg05 case and there is no way the water cooling set up is going to fit unless I relocate the motherboard like Miah Allen did in gaming in tight spaces v3, and even then I would be limited to a single 240mm rad, so having looked at the various mini itx cases market...

    Shuttle SZ77R5 i7 2600K overclocking

    Hi I havent got a sz77r5, but it sounds like you have probably missed a setting in the bios, and the cpu remains locked in the standard frequencies, Check that the MAX CPU Frequency ratio is in MANUAL MODE, you havent mentioned what temp the cpu reaches when you are loading, because it...

    Lian Li PC Q33

    I think the case isnt bad looking, each to his own there. but far too big considering the components it can house. its far from what not what I would consider and ideal case with 19 litres of volumen for an itx sistema, its internal distrubution poses too many limitations, I would rather use a...
