Forum: Cases, Cooling & Modding

Hi guys Got my new case today, the Elite 340, but only problem is I can't fit the fan on my AC Freezer 64, there is only a couple of cm of space for a fan with my heatsink, and I can only use the one supplied. However I can run the heatsink passive, but temps are appauling (40 degrees idle with...

Hey all, I recently bought a new (to me) rig and it's got a big heatsink on it with a Noctua fan on it. I was hoping you could tell me a) what make & model it is b)whether it will fit AM3 (it's currently S775) As it's got a noctua fan on it, I immediately thought of you Kav :p ...

Hi, Anyone here using a Shuttle K45 case? Bought mine (to build a windows home server with) in Feb 2009. Its now died, wont POST but power leds on and CPU and PSU fans on. Have googled it and it appears to be a very common problem. Anyone had similar? A motherboard should last longer than 17...

Title pretty much says it. I have been having trouble with my stock cooler. I sit quite close to my pc and the noise is a real problem. All my other fans are reasonably quite, but my CPU fan is getting really annoying. I havent overclocked yet and I am getting idle temperatures of about 34 to 35...

the case came today and it is fantastic but it has no fans inside. my current case has 1 fan at the rear and a air vent at 1 side. the location where the new case is will block the air vent at the side so 2 fans are need. what fans would you advise to get and what size 80 or 120mm thanks

Hi, I'm Getting a new pc with a Radeon Hd 5770 gfx card and AMD 1055t processor and so on... But i'm wanting to find a medium size-ish Case, but very quiet as well as good cable sorting so better airflow and for it to be cool with a budget of around £70, can go over slightly. Any Ideas? thanks.

Hi folks can anyone recommend someone in the Batley Leeds area that is proficient at watercooling systems. I was asking in CCL today but the lad who I spoke to said he only knew of one person in Morley who doesn't have the best of reputations as he takes the money up front and takes weeks and...

Ok guys so I decided to jump to an i7 920 system. Yes I know what some of you are thinking "But Panic, you're a die hard AMD Fanboy." it's true, I am. However, the parts came cheap some came cheaper. Price to performance wise, nothing could touch this new rig. So I got it all pre fitted and...

What would be the best cases on offer here at CCL for the following sizes: Small: Like the Antec 300, just big enough to hold the basic gaming system. Medium: Holds the mid range gaming system with a larger graphics card and multiple hard drives. Large: Huge case with lots of expansion...

Anyone seen heard or used one of these? http://www.thinkcomputers.org/reviews/aerocool_s9_pro/9.jpg The 40cm fan intrigues me.

Hi All, I have recently been targeting noise from the 'Puter, and so far have replaced my case, replaced all fans, bought a Thermalright True Black + Noctua NF-P12 (Which i haven't managed to fit as the wife has decided i'm getting it for Xmas!), i have replaced the noisy fan in my PSU, fitted...

Has anyone used these fans? looking for nice quiet fans but just can't stretch to Noctua's! Thanks

Hi All, For a CPU Cooler i decided on a Thermaltake True Black and want to run it in push / pull at lower speeds to ensure low noise, my question to you knowledgeable lot, is how? I'd like my mainboard to control them still but there will be 2 connectors! :confused: Thanks Peeps!

Hi all, looking to replace my ageing Zalman CPN9500 LED as its the loudest thing in my lounge, and was thinking about the Corsair H50 but have heard quite a few ppl say that its no good. So simply looking for advice on the best socket 775 heatsink & fan i can get for <=£60 that's as quiet as...
