    Best low-profile cooler 60mm and under?

    I have 60mm of space to work with for a low profile cooler. Which one would be the best from a noise and performance standpoint, with more emphasis on noise than performance? I'm eyeing the Silverstone AR06 and Cryorig C7, but I'm looking for more suggestions. Thanks!

    Had a power outage - now my NEC LCD2690WUXi is having issues

    Well shit, thanks ToastyX, that info was incredibly helpful. I just wish I saw your post before I tried to take the monitor apart and accidentally cracked the LCD screen :( (I was trying to get to the EDID chip to remove the write protect pin). Oh well, at least now I can pick up that 4K monitor...

    Had a power outage - now my NEC LCD2690WUXi is having issues

    Hey guys, I had a power outage here recently that lasted for about a second before the power came back on. My monitor (NEC LCD2690WUXi) is behind a surge protector, but I noticed afterwards that the monitor is no longer working properly. The highest resolution it'll do is 1280x720, and I've lost...

    Silverstone SST-SX600-G 600w Gold SFX

    Collaboration is fine and well-understood ("Hey, we have this product. Wanna review it for us?"). Having the reviewer come on a forum board he last visited 8 years ago, for the sole purpose of giving a scathing rebuttal to another member for sharing his opinion, which was prompted by a...

    Silverstone SST-SX600-G 600w Gold SFX

    I understand, Tony, and I personally don't feel like any money has been changed hands for a favorable review, or that Mike has been anything less that honest and analytic in his review. As a marketing manager though, you must understand what the public perception can be. Mike's [H] forum...

    Silverstone SST-SX600-G 600w Gold SFX

    Mike, I appreciate the counter-points; it shares your perspective on the matter. Rather than go into another point-by-point rebuttal though, I'll just simply say this: I still disagree. Perhaps it's in our definition of silence. Mine is absolute silence even at full load; no perceivable...

    Silverstone SST-SX600-G 600w Gold SFX

    Therein lies the problem: there really isn't any other site that's focused on silence. But being the only one doesn't automatically make you the best either (look at Comast, it's the sole ISP in several cities, but it sure as hell isn't the best). My gripe with SPCR stems from two points: 1...

    Silverstone SST-SX600-G 600w Gold SFX

    I wouldn't put too much stock into SPCR nowadays. They haven't updated their recommended guides in a long time, their forums are stagnant, and their recent bar for silence has dropped so much that I would only consider them to be good for 'somewhat quiet, but definitely audible' reviews.

    Silverstone SST-SX600-G 600w Gold SFX

    I'd like to point out that the chirping sound is actually crickets, and I didn't realize they were actually that loud. I'll see if I can get my hands on a shotgun mic so I can post up a better video.

    Silverstone SST-SX600-G 600w Gold SFX

    This is a cross-post from my post on overclock.net: I just got the Silverstone SX600-G in today and tried it out. This isn't news to anyone, but it looks exactly the same as the older ST45SF-G. Here are the 3 PSU's side by side. Left is a stock ST45SF-G, middle is my fan-modded ST45SF-G, and...

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    They're 7-day auctions, just listed. Don't know how much they'll go for, but this is perfect for people like me who missed the Indiegogo campaign, need to build a computer in the next month or so, and can't wait around for the second batch.

    Watercool MO-RA3 radiator

    I've got the fans only on one side in a pull configuration. The radiator's so big and dissipates so much heat that I only need to have a small amount of airflow over the fins and I'm fine. And yeah, it's fairly expensive. With the rad, feet, cover for both sides, and 9 fans, it came out to...
