    Did you find that reducing the pump speed also reduced noise/vibration? How do you actually lower the speed?

    Thanks for the tips. I installed a fan blowing air onto the motherbaord and this brought temps down a lot. However I still can't run a 4.7 GHZ overclock at 1.42v without the system overheating and crashing when playing BF3. Is 1.42 too much voltage? I get BSOD below this... Also, any ideas...

    New build - help needed!

    Funnily enough I did this over the weekend and the temps actually went up - the CPU by +10c and the GPU by +5 I am now experimenting with the bottom fans pushing air out the bottom (to work with the exhaust from the 590s) and the H70 fans pushing up (note that the manual for H70 says that for...

    Here's the email I sent to Origin, no reply yet Dear Origin, I have not purchased a PC from you as I live in Japan and the shipping costs proved prohibitive; despite this, I was hoping you might be able to give me a few words of advice regarding a system I am attempting to build, which is...

    Ok I know now that my build will work as Origin have done something very similar: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/reviews/origin_chronos_review What I need to do now is determine how I can ensure that the fan noise is tolerable! Do you think some kind of wind tunnel (made of...

    Too late dude! As noted above everything has been ordered and I can't send anything back so I have to make this work or say goodbye to $$$ I will run all the high powered fans I can, have water cooling on the CPU and could even leave a side panel off (if that would make a difference?) By...

    The manual I downloaded from the SilverStone website says 180mm (160mm for modular). But as you said, real world experience is key so I feel much happier now.

    So the best thing would be to have all the fans at the top sucking in and all the fans at the bottom blowing out?

    According to the manual the max for modular PSU is 160m, which worries me somewhat!
