Is there a way to make a RMA exchange with a prepaid shipping label from France ? Or is there a way to make sure the version we're buying is the new revision ? Because my reseller (amazon.fr) exchanged one for me but the new one was also one of the defective ones (serial number 1617). And the...

So I've installed my new fans, however I'm doubting the A15-pwm on the left. Do you guys think it's superfluous ? Would I be better off without it since it blows directly into the CPU cooler (nf-f12) ? Also, I have the A15 (on the left) and the f12 (on the right) on the same pwm header. Does it...

If you go for a FE, you don't really need bottom intake fans, so you can skip those ones. As for the rest I'm still wondering myself..... Since i have a nh-l12 (top down cooler), I'm wondering if putting 2x120mm fans on the side panel is a good idea, because it would mean almost stacking 2...

For those interested in the sx700-lpt, I recently switched my sx500-lg for one in order to have a little quieter build, and it didn't end well.... It seems that since the sx700's fan curve is almost entirely load based and not temperature based, the fan doesn't ramp up enough on even if the...

For those interested in the sx700-lpt, I recently switched my sx500-lg for one in order to have a little quieter build, and it didn't end well.... It seems that since the sx700's fan curve is entierely load based and not temperature based, the fan doesn't turn on even if the temperature rises...

By the way, what is the MSRP for the sx700-LPT in Europe ? In France I can only find it at 180+ euros.

For those interested in the EVGA gtx 1070 sc, it might not be the best choice. I get temps that reach 81-82° while gaming (Witcher 3, ultra) which means thermal throttling. As many stated before, a blower style GPU might be preferable. However, gaming with the left side panel open yields temps...

Hermit2001, That's some power hungry rig ! chemist_slime : So ? How did it go ? I'm itching to take the plunge because my sx500 is getting worse and worse now that I started gaming ...

Hi everyone, So I finally received my gtx 1070 sc and completed my first Ncase build, however the cables of my sx500-LG make my GPU sag significantly : Which also makes my port hard to reach : Is that dangerous ? And does any of you have any advice on rectifying it ? Maybe better...

Beside the extra 100W, what does the SX800-LTI brings to the table that the sx700-LPT doesn't ? Personally I'm mainly looking at the SX700W for the quiet fan profile, as I doubt I will ever use more than 400W in my Ncase. I get that some people whant to SLI in mATX cases, but for that, does the...

interesting read

So how did it go ? Does it suffer from the same noise issues as the 500-LG ?

Just to clarify, if the frame is left intact, the only irreversible mod would be to the side panel (which is replaceable) ? Or can't the clip be put back in place ?

And any approximation on when we could expect the 700LPT to come out in europe ?

Hi, I'm a recent owner of a SX500-LG myself (Europe Amazon.de), and I've been experiencing similar noise issue. The rattling/ticking noise at intermediary loads (when the fan isn't completely off, but isn't running full speed either) i can live with, but intermittently, i get some heavy coil...

Any news on this PSU ?

Do we know if the first shipment for January has shipped ?

I was wondering, does anyone sell a glass side panel that could be compatible with the M1, or is modding the only way to go ?

Ok, thanks for the feedback. So you both don't think I should RMA, it is expected behavior for the board ? (It just a bit unusual, I never had a board that made noise before ^^) ps: isn't C-state only for Sleep, Hibernate, etc ? It shouldn't change while the pc is running no? I never put the PC...

@ Deceptoid and branwright: I'm in the same boat. I'm waiting for the V5 and planning a very similar build: GPU: GTX 970 MSI MoBo: Asus Z170I PRO GAMING CPU: Intel Core i7-6700k Cooler: Nh-l12 PSU: Silverstone SX500-LG Case fan: Nf-A15 PWM + Nf-B9 PWM However be cautious about the cooler/MoBo...

Hi everybody, I just upgraded my rig to skylake, but my new mobo (Asus' value ITX motherboard: the z170i Pro Gaming), but it seems to make an unusual noise (that my previous mobo didn't): Noise Recording on iPhone As this looked very similar to coil whine, I tested the Mobo outside of...

If you're referencing the motherboard's pin connectors, the manual usually provides a diagram. Similar to this one : Just look for "F-Pannel" in your manual, I think it's page 17 for the H170N-Wifi http://www.cclonline.com/content/pdfs/1lUv-2ftCnVlJDwQGDJqRhpQ-3d-3d.pdf Also, sorry to...

Hi everyone, Also waiting for the V5 to ship (D-62 !), I was planning out my build. As I'm moving out of a sg08 to the M1 I plan on using my current nh-l12 in the M1, and was wondering if it would fit, and if it would be sufficient for decent cooling. In particular, I was planning on using it...

Excuse my ignorance, but is there any plan on putting usb type-A 3.1 on the front panel ? Or is there already any way to mod them ?

In France an i7-4770k goes for 350 to 370€ new, and between 270 - 300 when used. Since it is still under warranty, still functioning and never overclocked, I'm fairly confident I can get around 300 if I sell my DDR3 kit with it. To be honest, the USB 3.1 might be useful, and the M.2 an...

Hi everybody ! My Gigabyte Z87N (itx) died a few weeks ago (a mere 3 month after the end of warranty sadly), and I've been mulling the idea opportunistically upgrading to Skylake. So, given that reselling my i7 4770k would net me around 300 €, it would cost me around 350€ to...

Hi everybody, I've been trying to evaluate the exact contrast ratio of a monitor (because I feel the black tend to lean a bit toward the grey) in order to know if upgrading would be worth it or no (I would like to buy a new monitor to get better black depth, but if the contrast ratio would be...

For gamers I think ASUS was the first to announce a g-sync version if you're interested : http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/news_archive/33.htm#asus_34_curved If you wanna go 4k as suggested by NCX, be aware that for native gaming at that resolution you will need some serious GPU setup. And if...

For movies you might wanna look to MVA panels (no IPS glow and amazing contrast). But if you play a lot of FPS or any twitchy games, you might encounter issues with response time and input lag. And sadly, in 30-34" there only is 1440p screens on the market. No 4k yet bellow 40". The Philips...

I've tested two BDM3270qp (sadly one had dead pixel and the other had a serious banding defect). If you can get one defect-free it is a very good display. Philips get you control over the overdrive (4 settings: off, fast, faster, fastest) so you can adjust between a little ghosting, almost none...

Lesnumeriques (Digital versus) made a review a few weeks ago and the english translation is out: http://www.digitalversus.com/lcd-monitor/philips-bdm3270qp-p26853/test.html I would warn people about quality control however. On the french forum a lot of people are praising the performance of...

Does the PB328Q has a matte coating or is it glossy ? I would love a 32" VA glossy monitor in 4K or 1440p, but it seems glossy displays are a rare breed nowadays. Would you mind posting some picture (with the screen on and off) of the Asus ? (even crappy phone photo would do)

If HP would drop the useless over-sized speakers (who buys a 4K 32" monitor but doesn't invest in good speaker ??) and did a black version I would be all over that. Here's hoping Benq or other push out a monitor with the same panel but a better package...

Hi again ! So my situation changed a little: My budget increased, so that I've started seriously considering the Philips BDM4065UC. Thus I find myself torn between the BL3201PH/BL3200PT and the Philips, and the only questions remaining are then: Is the 40" not too big for viewing...

I understand that you can correct contrast with ambiance lighting, or ruin it, I did a fair bit of reading on the subject, notably on one of your (very interesting by the way) thread on MVA displays. However, I really dislike distracting light when I watch tv, so I usually watch in almost...

In theory I would agree, but I've just recently splurged on a nice set of 400$ speakers (ruark audio mr1) so the integrated speaker don't seem all that appealing. They do take a lot of space and are said to not sound all that good. But I guess a 100€ (where I live) reduction might just be...

Hi everybody, I apologize in advance if there is so quirky syntax or grammar, I'm writing from France :). So, a few days ago, my old 24" (Dell S2440L) gave up after 3 years of good and loyal service (sadly 3 weak after the end of warranty :mad:), and I thus find myself in the market for a new...
