    How to use a fan controller

    I'm looking at getting the NZXT Sentry 2. I'll be OCing my 3570K to 4.5GHz for now, but would like some headroom for 5.0GHz in the future. It's on an ASROCK Z77e ITX mobo in a Bitfenix Prodigy. Cooling using the XSPC Raystorm 750 RX240. Question is, what extra fans do I need, if any for...

    Quiet cooling options

    I'm looking to overclock the 3570k to about 4.6GHz, and I'd like to have as quiet a configuration as possible. I'm thinking of getting the XSPC Raystorm 750 RX240. How loud is the pump noise, vs say the noise on the Noctua ND/ph-tc14pe fans? Are they in general quite soft? Will it be worth...

    2x 1TB Caviar Black WD1002FAEX in Raid 0 on mac

    I would like to setup a software raid configuration on the Mac using Os x mountain lion. After much research, I've settled on the Caviar black 1TB x2. The reason for this is because the new Seagate Spinpoint f3 are apparently not as good as the old ones made by Samsung. Moreover they only come...

    2xWD1002FAEX 1TB vs 1x WD2002FAEX 2TB

    Any significant difference in performance between the two? They both have the same platter density and cache, so technically same performance? Reason I'm asking is because the 1TB is on sale now and I can get the 2x1TB for cheaper than the 2TB. Also leaves me options open for RAIDing:)

    2x8GB 1600 CL9 vs 2x8GB 1600 CL10

    I'm planning on getting the Ripjaws 2x8GB 1600 12800 RAMS for video editing. How much of an advantage in speed does the cl9 have over the cl10? Are there compatibility issues of the cl10 with an ivy bridge system?
