Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I have the same cooler but it is 4670K running at 4.4GHz and with heavy load it stays below 75oC.
Are you doing a huge o/c?
Btw: with low load I set this fan to run at 300 rpm. (very low noise)
After a long time it was time to clean and rebuild: good oportunity to try ducts.
Tip to new comers: New GPU will be blower style. It is complicated to redirect hot air inside this case.
New rebuild:
With ducts:
Old but gold:
With ducts GPU is not heating MOBO/CPU/PSU so much...
I have never tried klipsch, but I have z623. They are just "ok", not balanced. Good bass, but not clear voice. (perhaps lack of tweeter).
This was the best (not DIY) 2.1 on my local market, but I was expecting better sound.
Great building record. Congratz! Your build seems very clean and tidy
(Tks to translate.google.com to open it too :cool: )
How about noise/temperatures? And where did you get the covers for the holes on the motherboard?
I was searching about ducts inside M1 and want to know how you guys have done it. Did you have good results in terms of temperature and noise?
I´m concerned about ATX PSU and GPU getting unnecessary hot air. Having to spin too fast to cool them.
Some ages ago I tried 2 fans at the bottom...
I´m using impact VI. Audio quality gets better after bios update and driver update. At least for me. Early versions of bios / drivers were causing audio noise
I´m using an ATX one from be quiet (SP7 - 500w) on my ncase. It runs well, at least no coil whine as my other ones from coolermaster and corsair. I havent tested sfx from silverstone or bequiet.
One important point is to check who is the manufacturer behind brands. There is a "non oficial" list...
