    What fan should I replace the Corsair H55 stock fan?

    Received and installed the Noctua fans. They are perfect. So quiet I can't hear them at all with PWM enabled, and even if I set them to 100% they are still a lot quieter then the Cooler Master fan, and MUCH quieter than the Corsair fan. :D:D:D:D:D I highly recommend spending the money on...

    What fan should I replace the Corsair H55 stock fan?

    I ordered the Noctua P12 fan, as well as two Noctua R8's to experiment with in the side fan mount points (not that I need them). I did some more tests and figured that the next loudest thing in my case will be the N55's pump. I can just hear the slight buzzing sound it makes from my bed...

    What fan should I replace the Corsair H55 stock fan?

    They have PWM versions of all their fans now. I have carefully studied many review of the two and it seems you get slighty better cooling with the F12 vs P12 but with slightly more noise. I think the F12 would be great for a gaming PC. Since I am more concerned about noise, and only need...

    What fan should I replace the Corsair H55 stock fan?

    After finding more videos of the Noctua PWMs I can say I have changed my mind and that they do have the best acoustics. It seems a lot of fans sound good, until you run them in PWM. A lot of them start making a horrible buzzy hum. I have heard the Corsairs making that hum in a video, and the...

    What fan should I replace the Corsair H55 stock fan?

    Hmm I found a side by side audio per airflow level test of these at OCN The guy their said that he was disappointed with the Noctua as it sounds a lot more drony than the Gentle Typhoon and Noiseblocker. I think I may have to play the videos through my loudspeakers to figure out which one...

    What fan should I replace the Corsair H55 stock fan?

    Mainly because of the high shipping cost. Frozen CPU are quoting $40 for snail mail and $90 for courier delivery. For that I could pick up 2 - 5 fans locally. I am in Australia. The best store I have seen for fans so far is http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=9_510...

    What fan should I replace the Corsair H55 stock fan?

    I had a look at that fan as it seems to be recommended all over the place but it is very hard to find a place that still sells them locally. It seems Scythe have stopped production of the fan because it says it has been discontinued on their website.

    What fan should I replace the Corsair H55 stock fan?

    I finally set up my mini-ITX server last night but had trouble sleeping as the stock Corsair fan that comes with the H55 is way too loud at 12V. Unfortunately this fan is a 3 pin so couldn't turn it down in the BIOS and it will be a while before I can get some voltage dividers to spin it...

    PC Code Stripping - Is It Legal Or Not?

    Corsair H55 - do NOT use the plastic CPU bracket!

    I am installing my first AIO water cooler on my mini-ITX server build. However I learnt the hard way the the included stock plastic CPU bracket is complete garbage and should just be put in the trash. Basically after initially installing the fan and CPU block I realised that the PSU was going...

    PayPal President's Credit Card Info Stolen

    Somehow he must have used the backup mag stripe, or an ATM. The sooner everyone switches to chip and pin the faster they can remove the mag stripe.

    Only A Third of Kickstarted Video Games Deliver To Backers

    Whats the typical success rate for other types of ventures? I think people forget that Kickstarter is an INVESTMENT ie if you lose your money then too bad, you took the risk. You don't hear so many complaints from people who fund start ups that fail.

    South Korea Developing Commercial 5G Networks by 2017

    4G can only work up to 300kph. Sort of a problem when you have trains that run faster than that.
