We all want lower prices, so it seems natural to suggest cutting out kickstarter's fees, but I believe it makes crowd funding a legal nightmare for small businesses?

Have you seen the Calyos NSG-S0 / Official site? ;)

The C7 without any modifications is really loud (but performs quite well). I swapped the fan with the Noctua 14mm one and it works okay, still quite audible after gaming for a while though - I am still considering getting shorter motherboard stand-offs...

I've got a SF450 and a EVGA 970 SSC - my PSU does not even spin up during most loads, so you definitely had a faulty SF450 - it's been said many times, it's a very very good PSU - if you don't have a dud that is!

Asus Strix Z270i heatsink is ridiculous and serves no purpose. Don't compromise on a CPU cooler design because of that, if people wants the best cooler there is, they can bloody well just replace their motherboard heatsink :p

I've got the C7 with the NF-A9x14 and find the turbulence noise very acceptable now. Temps went up slightly, but are you saying the TY-100 is even better than the NF-A9x14?

I already posted that I swapped my C7 fan with the Cryorig XT140 (140x140x13mm fan), and it was just as noisy as C7 fan. :(

Just checked, I have version 28.10. Is our old Sandy Bridge chips even affected by the AVX torture test, I thought it was only AVX instructions on newer chips? Anyway, I ran Prime95 28.10 small FFT test for 20 minutes inside my Dan A4 case and it peaked at 79C, maybe you have a poor 2600, or I...

I think you didn't seat your C7 properly! I've got a 2600K myself, and with the C7 in the Dan case (with my 2600K @ stock), I only peaked at ~79C

I know... I can't really return my XT140 just because it performs worse, I've already opened and used it. :p I guess I'll have to take off my case side off for the time being, until a good cooling solution has been found, it sucks :(

I have some bad news. I tried swapping the fan on my Cryorig C7 with the Cryorig XT140 that supposedly is 2mm slimmer, but in reality it really appears to be the exact same thickness as the C7. Here are my results. As for noise, I think the XL140 is ever so slightly more quiet, but my wife...

I've just received the Cryorig XT140 to put ontop of my C7, I'll test when I get home tonight and post my results. C7 fan is 15mm, XT140 is 13mm, so hopefully that'll make it quiet down a bit.

C7 is LOUD due to turbulence when next to inlet, I've got a C7 in the Dan A4, it's unacceptably loud. Need to look into maybe fitting a bigger slim fan on top of it.

That PSU isn't loud, you must have a defect one - RMA it.

I think all of EU but Germany is still waiting on DHL to receive their shipments - UK backer here, got DHL tracking 14 days ago, but the parcel is still with Dan, hasn't been picked up by DHL yet :p Hopefully DHL will come pick up all EU palettes this week, so all of EU will get their cases...

Tracking email sent out Jan 23rd, nothing since then, DHL tracking says: "The instruction data for this shipment have been provided by the sender to DHL electronically", and that's all. Waiting impatiently for updates! :)

I personally think it's a very easy choice for PSU - Corsair SF450, especially when you don't plan on putting a 6-8-10 core CPU and a Titan in - I got a SF450 myself, I might be biased...

Wait for Sentry to actually arrive, by then AMD will hopefully have launched something - and then decide if it's even worth upgrading your perfectly capable 4690K at all - for gaming, it probably wouldn't make a difference :p

The SF600 will be total overkill and not be any quieter, I think that's a complete waste of money - the SF450 is already off most of the time anyway!

I am not sure how the campaign can end early, when there's the "long haul" options available, surely they wouldn't end the campaign just because the first 1000 cases sell out, when they've got thousands more available for later delivery? - They won't get the money until the campaign ends I...

I did it, couldn't go to bed knowing it might sell out by the time I woke up. It's a lot of money for 2 PC cases in just half a year, but it'll be worth it (or so I keep telling myself. I spent £200 on my last PC case too, a Corsair Obsidian 800D, that I modded to hold 2 big radiators for...

For that price, take it, it's still an i7, you won't really notice much difference between than and newer Intel CPUs, they simply haven't improved significantly unfortunately. I run a 2600K i7 with a Cryorig C7, it works perfectly fine at stock, it's quiet enough, so I am sure the Noctua will be...

Yup, I've got the Dan A4SFX coming in a few weeks too, and am trying hard to talk myself out of buying a Sentry, but I could just use the Dan until the Sentry arrives, and then pass the Dan on to my wife and use the Sentry myself!?

I kept an eye on Ebay and searched daily for "Z68 itx", "Z75 itx" and "Z77 itx", it took a few weeks to find one that didn't sell for £100+ (I paid £95 for a Gigabyte GA-Z77N). They're uncommon on the Bay now, but they do pop up! :)

I've got my built ready - found a mini ITX board for my 2600K on Ebay, a used GTX 970 and used Corsair SF450 - I'm all ready! :D

You can pick up the Cryorig C7 for £30 here from Ebuyer if you're in the UK: Cryorig C7 Slim heatpipe CPU Cooler - Ebuyer

Just need the C7 to be on sale on Amazon.co.uk too now... :(

It's not exactly more expansive, it's only more expensive ;P

Yes, you cannot put a big heatsink into a small case, you will not be able to OC it much.

Scroll up 15 posts on the same page, and you'll see a compatibility list of 1080s

While that may be true, the 1080 costs three times as much as many people are willing to pay for a GPU. If the X480 lands at £200, it might still be the best many can/want to afford :)
