    Replacing the NZXT Kraken x40 stock fan with a silent one, crazy idea?

    tltr: it will work and will keep your CPU cool and stay quiet most of the time. Unfortunately I've just sold my Kraken X40 because the pump was too noisy for me. Pump speed is fixed, you have no control over it. Don't know if it was a problem of PWM connectors of my motherboard. Btw I was...

    Then one should go for the cheapest... right? How about he PBC bios differences between reference cards, I.e. Inno vs Zotac?

    Differences between "reference" non-OC NVIDIA GTX 780?

    My question is really about the "reference" GTX 780 cards (i.e. Inno3D N780-1DDN-L5HS, Zotac ZT-70201-10P, and so on...) with the stock titan-like cooler. These cards have a core clock of 863/900 MHz and memory clock of 6008 MHz. Will I'll be able to overclock these cards like custom GTX 780...

    Ok, thanks. So... the antenna should be 2.4/5Ghz RP-SMA male one, right? Can you point me to a good one?

    Few questions DIY and Intel Centrino 6235 on the Desktop

    I need WiFi + Bluetooth for my Desktop, and I'd like to use the Intel Centrino 6235, as there are many positive reviews. There are two antenna connectors and the board will work at 2.4/5 Ghz: I may buy an adapter from Mini PCIe to PCIe 1x but.... there are a lot of bad reviews about the...

    Replacing the NZXT Kraken x40 stock fan with a silent one, crazy idea?

    First thank you people for helping me with this. I have to admin I'm still a lot confused. This is not a problem, Noctua fan should be barely audible at 800rpm. Good to know by the way. This actually scares me. Since english is not my mother tongue, I can't fully understand how the above...

    Replacing the NZXT Kraken x40 stock fan with a silent one, crazy idea?

    I've brought a NZXT Kraken x40 AIO liquid cooler, for using with i7-4770K CPU. I can't still test the system as I'm waiting for components to arrive. I'd like to do some light overclock (possibly without touching voltages) because I want the rig to be very quiet, at least for the first months...

    Maximus Gene VI is expensive here and it has only one HDMI output. I need to connect both my PC monitor (HTMI) and an old LCD TV (VGA|HDMI|DVI-D to HDMI adapter|DVI-I to VGA adapter).

    Buying a motherboard for my rig, CrossFire/SLI x4/x8 mode question

    Thank you for your answer, now I understand why there are some boards that only support crossfire with x4. For the GA-Z87MX-D3H specifications: So it's implicit that, when two cards are present, we get PCIEX8 for both? Unfortunately it seems that this board has a lot of instability problems...

    11MB/s 4K read with my new Samsung 840 128Gb SSD, too slow?

    Thank you for your support. My chipset is ICH9M, I've installed the latest RST driver pack (iata_cd.exe). Previous benchmark is without RST. Now I've got: Do you think it's just the normal difference between tests?
