I like the Sunon server fans. Great quality, can be found cheap.

Sorry man - just re-read my post and it came across like I was a douchebag, I didn't mean to seem like such a dick. My comments were the following: The TJ09 has a single 120mm fan with side intakes blowing directly over the GPUs. The FT02 has three 180mm air penetrator fans blowing directly...

Sorry, but your test isn't scientific in the least - you're comparing apples to oranges. You have different fans, a different layout, different fan locations - it's not really a useful test. I have an FT02 for one of my rigs (X58-based Core i7 950, GTX 580 GPU), so I decided to test it after...

That Cooler Master video is hilariously inaccurate. They're trying to point out peak and continuous by using a hand-drawn chart on a whiteboard that doesn't even really highlight their point. Not to mention that their own unit that they're using is over spec'd too. Ridiculous. If this is the...

Now is a pretty awesome time for cases. I remember just a few years ago, nobody painted the inside, cable routing was an afterthought, noisy 80mm and 92mm fans were common, everything was held in place with tiny silver screws instead of thumbscrews or tool-less devices. But now - even $59...

I'm trying to help a friend build a system for the first time, and while I'm pretty experienced with higher end hardware, his budget doesn't really allow for that. His budget for the case is about $100 or so, and he's going to be using it mostly for gaming as well as regular web usage and some...

From top left to bottom right: 1) Mac SE - got it after our school upgraded the computer lab and we could buy them cheap. Thanks mom & dad. 2) Lunchbox 386 PC. My dad got it from work for free. It had a monochrome screen you could change from amber to green with the push of a button. 3) Mac...

There's another review here: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/reviews/1012/pg1/corsair-h70-cpu-cooler-review-introduction.html Shows a 9-13 degree difference.

I think it makes a huge difference, because the heat exchanger is in a completely different temperature of ambient air. In previous tests on the web of watercoolers and aircoolers, you usually see Aircooling beat out watercoolers like this when tested on an open bench, but inside a case, the...

Hey guys - I have been having a few discussions with some friends about cases (nobody makes a perfect one around $100 anymore - seems like you have to spend $150 or so to get good quality) and I suddenly realized that the things we all hated about most $90-$110 cases WEREN'T the same. I...

This is a pretty good deal. The only difference between this and the 800D is the hot swap bay and the side window. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139002 $219 with a $40 MIR.

I was looking around at the mITX cases and although they're getting better, they're still not quite perfect. I was thinking of putting a design together and making my own, but I've never built an mITX system so I would appreciate some advice. The system will primarily be used for gaming and...

I am really lost here. 1 - Your drive failed. 2 - Corsair offered to replace your drive. ??? What's the problem? It sucks that parts die, but so far there's no evidence that anybody is out to screw you over...

I'm an advertising major and gamer who works in the tech industry and I need a great monitor. I'm currently using a Dell 2007WFP, which is fine, but the resolution is kind of low for me to use with excel spreadsheets side-by-side or powerpoint. The color reproduction is decent but the monitor...

If you read the article, Comcast ended up replacing the pole for her and incurring the entire cost of it themselves. Pretty good result. A few years ago Comcast came to swap me out from DSL to Cable Modem (finally). Their contractors had to drill a hole through the wall of the room to run a...

It's 8 years old and cars don't last forever. For those of you guys who don't get it - this car costs $450,000 US. That's practically nothing when it comes to the US budget. If there are 138,000,000 taxpayers in the US, we're talking less than a penny per taxpayer for this vehicle, closer to...

PC Power & Cooling doesn't "Make" anything. Win-Tact (spelling?) makes the Turbo-Cool series, which is still rated at 50C. Seasonic makes the silencer series, which is rated at 40C, and actually not all that quiet. OCZ Power Supplies are made from a variety of vendors, FSP, Topower...

For that system the Corsair VX450 would be fine too.

I'm looking around at monitors and none seem perfect to me. So the question is, what's the perfect LCD monitor? Not what's being offered that's closest, but if you could write the specs down for the best LCD monitor in the world, what would the specs be? S-IPS? 8ms? 16ms? 24" 1920x1200...

Just a quick question to settle a bet, figured I'd post it in here since you guys are all about power but wouldn't be as biased as a UPS-specific forum. Thanks.

The PC Power & Cooling Silencer series is all rated at 40C, the Corsair is rated at 50C, so the Corsair HX620 can put out more power considerably than the Silencer 610. I think if you rated the Silencer 610 at 50C it'd be more like the Silencer 550. The Silencer 750 at 50C would be more like...

That's a great PSU, I have it in my file server. I used to have it in my gaming box but it's louder than I'd like to be quite honest. It's not as loud as my old turbocool but it's louder than the HX620 I replaced it with. Also the silencer 750W is rated at 40C instead of 50C like all of PC...

It's one thing to be overly loyal, it's another to make libelous accusations because your product got a bad review. Especially in public. If he really thinks that, fine, that's his right, but when he starts making that argument in public he'd better have some sort of evidence to back it up...

man, that sucks. Mine is still running very strongly, hope it doesn't freak out like yours did.

I think it's really a case of resting on their laurels for too long and relying on their competition not to innovate. It's not really that the giant fell from grace so much as the fact that the giant, once the biggest, baddest son-of-a-bitch out there, got kind of lazy and refused to work...

Just read the Corsair HX620 review then, they're both made by Seasonic and use the same design and PCB, the Silencer 750 just uses a different cooling design and drops the rated temp (40C vs the Corsair's 50C) to hit 750W instead of 620W.

It didn't seem like marketing only. It seemed like the unit was outperformed and outclassed by competing units from Enermax, OCZ, etc. It's not very efficient, it's insanely loud, it's extremely expensive, it uses questionable caps on the secondary, it doesn't include a manual, etc. These are...

But the whole point is that the components aren't the same. The Corsair has higher grade caps and a different design internally. Not to mention the cables are different, too. By that rationale: OCZ Power Supplies are rebadged Topower or FSP Mushkin Power Supplies are rebadged Topower...

God, I wish I could...

It's not one-sided, it's open to interpretation. You can't blindly believe ANYBODY with something to sell you. That's a fact. PC Power & Cooling makes great PSUs, but they're still trying to sell you a product. A product that is stable, reliable, powerful, overpriced, noisy, and not exactly...

Two - that's all well and good, but what does that have anything to do with this thread? Three - I understand, but blindly posting a copy-paste from some manufacturer's propaganda page doesn't help anybody. Four - Yes, and if it were your own point of view with some actual data, we'd...

Jesus dude, what the hell is wrong with you? They offer to replace the part: you scream at them. They state that the failure rates are identical: you scream at them. Do you want them to come to your house and massage your "happy place" until you calm down?

Jesus christ, what are you, like 11 years old? Can't we discuss things like grown ups in this forum?

Jesus, do they write your paycheck or something? I've used stuff from Corsair and G.Skill on that board no problem at all. In fact, I'd wager that the vast majority of people with the Lanparty NF4 boards aren't using Teamgroup at all.

Sounds like a loose connector or PCB or something inside the power supply. I guess modular power supplies do have that one extra point of failure, but the likelihood is still pretty slim. I've used a few of them before and had no real problems.

You're right, other manufacturers just end-of-life their products so that you can't buy them at all anywhere, and replace them with another version named after some semi-rare metal. New 6400 CAS4 MAGNESIUM ELITE ALPHA GX replaces the older 6400 CAS4 TITANIUM EXTREME VX OMEGA rev2

Anyone else think what I'm thinking:

Too bad that song is Nirvana's "Rape Me"

2.4V, according to a thing I read on another forum.

Do you think that if I bought a new one from Dell today that I would still have to send it back to get it flashed?
