I...

    Meh... Maybe not killer o'clock... At stock voltage, you ought to be able to hit 4.3-4.4 safely. Once you start jacking up voltages, that when things start getting iffy.

    Recommendations for 92mm and 120mm fans for Fractal Design Node 304 ITX case?

    On the cheap side, on a whim I bought a couple of the silenx 120 fans. Push a whole bunch of air, and they are certainly quiet. I'm running three in my desktop... Pretty blue lights, and very quiet.

    is there a reason why people use UPS/Fedex over USPS for small/medium

    another reason usps irks me. if your postman doesnt feel like getting off the delivery truck, or doesnt want to hassle with leaving it at your door, they will leave you a slip.

    Desicion between Hyper 212 EVO or H100i or Seidon 240M

    Just picked up the liqtech 240 from enermax. Fans have three settings. They get loud on over clock mode...however on performance mode, middle setting, not bad at all. Maybe another option for you. I'm coming from using a h55i in a push/pull mode. So I can honestly say it's not too much of a...
