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

Thnaks all for the tips - will play around more tonight JLangevin - I have all the rad fans attached to the fan controller - which I keep on min the whole time as I am aiming for silent operation during non-gaming operation. I'll play around with these too. The fan profile above was just...

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...

I have recently changed to a water cooled setup, but have run into issues regarding high temperatures (particularly with the vcore and the motherboard sensor as reported by Asus AI Suite II) as well as excessive fan noise. I’d appreciate any tips regarding the optimal fan set up and anything...

Thanks both I now have a 10k 3dmark11 score on one card but I have a new problem! Can't get sli to work, both cards recognised and two sli bridges tried but no joy. Option just isn't available in the nvidia control panel. Also I can oc CPU to 4.7 ghz but only with LCC enabled and I am 1.5v...

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...

Something is very wrong! I took out one of the 590s as the system was v loud and ran 3d mark again... only 4280! It says the processor is only running at 1648 and that the card has only 1.5GB 1536MB... http://imageshack.us/f/849/3dmark.png/

I've had just finished by first attempt at building a PC and was pleasantly surprised when the machine actually booted. Here are the specs: Silverstone FT03 case Intel 2600k @ 3.4 Ghz with Corsair H70 closed loop water cooler Asus P8P67-M Pro Silverstone Strider 1200w PSU 8 GB DDR 3 1600...

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...

I found someone else who has the same setup! http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?t=3167296

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!

Everything has been ordered now and, as I live in Japan, will be hard to return... so I will try and make 2x590 work if at all possible. According to some benchmarks I saw 2x580 can't cope with 1600p at max settings (inc. AA). Lt alone 3x1600p which I want to go too eventually. I got the...

But the HCP1200 appears to be larger than the Silverstone Strider 1200w (which I have ordered) I have just ordered a 92mm 2000 rpm fan for the top as you suggest So I have 2x80mm pushing air out at the bottom and the top fans sucking it in? I thought it was meant to be the other way...

InternalMachine, UrbanSmooth thank you! I think I'll go with the Dell U3011 with GeForce 590 Sli As the H70 blocks the top fan am I right in thinking I can still fit: 2x120mm Coolmaster and then 2xZalman 80mm to replace the bottom 120mm fan that I'll have to remove to fit the two video...

Going to attempt my first build with the following components (ordered today): Case Silverstone FT03 Fans 3 x CoolerMaster 120mm & 2 x Zalman 80mm Processor Intel Core i7 2600K 3.40GHz Cooling Corsair H70 Motherboard ASUS P8P67-M PRO Memory CORSAIR DDR3 1600MHz 8GB 2x240 DIMM HD 1...
