i was reading and all the physx hardware is, is a built on nvidia branded ageia chip and it doesn't use but like a 1/4 of the card to run physx so a 9600GT wouldn't even use it full potential.

static pressure.

some fans blow less CFM but have a higher static pressure...

In this case its blade design and fan thickness that affects static pressure. A 50 CFM 25mm fan will get killed by a 50 CFM 38mm fan if you put it on a heatsink, because the 38MM is less susceptible to the backfeed and the restriction of the cooler, and actually blows MORE air THROUGH the heatsink.

This same concept applies to fan design and blade orientation/spacing of fans using the same thickness.

so:
Noctua NF-P12

http://img.techpowerup.org/100328/stock.jpg

and
Noctua NF-S12

http://img.techpowerup.org/100328/noctua_nf_s12_1.jpg


The top has more pressure, and is better on heatsinks even at lower RPM, even noctua will tell you this:

http://noctua.at/main.php?show=nf_s1...parison&lng=en

Same with water pumps, some pumps dont have the GPH of others, but have a higher head pressure due to to motor and impeller design.


here is some bathroom reading:

http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/c..._performance/1

"The new Noctua NF-P12 now provides the static pressure needed for both heat exchanger and heat sink applications. All credit goes to Noctua for stepping up to the plate and making an even better product than the NF-S12's. Equally impressive is that you can now 'have your pie and eat it too' - cooling performance without the additional noise.

Subsequently, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Noctua NF-P12 120mm cooling fans as a worthy addition to your cooling system."


so... this is why its always a good idea to know the tech specs of a product before relying on one Standard to measure performance. I know that you know better, or should know better, you wouldn't judge a PSU based on WATT rating alone.
thats what im saying why would you compair diffirent size fans and say noctua loses? isnt that kind of pointless? i appreciate the attempt at the school. but compairing (example) a 25mm 50cfm noctua to a TT 40mm 50CFM and calling out the noctua would be kind of stupid. you said noctuas werent that great but id imagine they would perform similer to other fans in their class. NOT like the example iv just given. were our example TT fan outclasses the noc.

Sorry to but in with an unexperienced opinion, but I say the best 5k series card at the moment is the 5870. It's got the gusto but a hefty price tag too. If your concerned about price go with a pair of 5770's which should be better when overclocked than a single 5870.

Someone please validate/expunge me of my suggestion.

i am getting a 5850 for the awesomeness and power it has, + its more futureproof, beacause you can just add one more for cf later

2x5770s is def powerfull, but not a good investment if you're thinking about the near future +- a year or so, then i would go for the 5850/70 and add one more later

No its not, and thats not what Im saying. Did you read?

Im comparing them to fans of the same size... i just gave an example of the same 120MM fans with different thicknesses to illustrate a point about static pressure. Theyre all 120MM fans.

In the Noctua's S12's case the blade design, in is what makes the NF-S12 worse than NF-p12 or other 120mm fans at the same CFM for heatsinks. Just to clarify:

Fan A 120MM @ 50CFM and 0.9 mm/h20 is much worse than
Fan B 120MM @ 50CFM and 1.6 mm.h20 on a restrictive surface.

Capiche?

So before the UPS man showed up today, I removed my exhaust fan and my bottom intake fan....



I think the intake fan was doing it's job nicely.

Then the UPS man came with a bigger box than what I thought would come, Daboh? Did Cooler Master send me the wrong stuff?



Nope, they just packed it well!









More photos of new stuff can be seen here, I'll be taking some night shots tonight.
