The TPU UK Clubhouse

[FreedomEclipse]

I know someone else that had this dilemma and found bundle deals on fans equating to about 20% off.

or the xspc xinruilian fans are rated the same as the corsair sp120s high performance fans at about £4 each

http://www.overclockers.com/xspc-xinruilian-fan

the thing with these fans is they remind me closely of YateLoons - their also as cheap as YL's too!

:EDIT:

Also their not yet available in the UK - only the US/CAN afaik

I found the Xinruilians from specialtech uk (1200rpm model) and watercooling uk (2000rpm model/35dB~3mm static pressure model) via eBay oddly enough, they didn't come up in google search or directly by their respective websites..
So i'll give the 2k rpm models a go and run them at 7v..Cheers guys

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Id be interested to know how they sound at full whack when you get them

 

[d1nky]

ive got them and you can hardly hear them compared to the 10 other high rpm fans

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

What fans do those of you who use water cooling use?
I've rebuilt my pc and not too happy with the fan noise, slightly reluctant to got for corsair or noctua's £20 each fans as I need 10..
Any suggestions?

i got some phobya G 120s 1200rpm they arent bad are available in various bundles including x9 x12 from watercooling.co.uk pretty cheap

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I dunno, Corsair says their 2300rpm SP120 fan hits about 35dB maxed out the same as a 2000rpm XSPC - the XSPC runs slower and makes the same amount of noise, my GTs dont make that much noise at all.

 

[d1nky]

what about static pressure?

 

[FreedomEclipse]

3.1 h2o on the corsairs. given the fact that the XSPC fans are cheaper and are rated at 3.0 h2o@2k sounds about right.

I meant your gt's? lol

 

[MightyMission]

I've got a selection of fans already in, from noctua np12 to a couple of deltas that are loud even at 5v...to nexus real silent 12s...
the deltas just take the piss, and are pretty useless for quiet W.C., the nexus have an odd tone that might not be loud but it's definitely an attention grabber.
The case fans that came supplied with my prodigy are actually reasonable.
I'm hoping as the rad's all have the same FPI, and it's only the thickness that differs,
having uniform fans might increase performance or at least quieten the pc down while keeping the same temps..

but I've heard constantly good reviews about gt 1450's price/performance and I was looking something around that range.
Again it's the low frequency noise they're supposed to have that concerns me.
I'll try the Xinruilians at full chat and see if they are good.
maybe, i'll look up the phobya's and GT's next month...I think i'm running out of upgrades that interest me haha.

Nobody really knows some reviewers calculate it to be 2.9 mmH2o whereas some other people say its closer it 2.02-2.05 mmh2o

2.02 mmh20

Thread with conflicting mmh2o reports

Right now Im idling at 38c - the SP120 which serves as a 'Ramjet' is running around 5-6v, ambient temp in my room is about 24-25'c

Aesthetically the white one was stylish, but I gotta say this case is far more useful for enthusiasts. Much better cooling, its insane, GPU is idling at 26 degrees xD

That's one of the best cases ever made imho, and spiffing show old chap.

I come here for stuff like this.

I love how the new Nexus 7 2 has a screen resolution of 1920 x 1200 ON A 7 INCH SCREEN, and yet monitor manufacturers cant seem to get it into their thick skulls that everybody else wants that kind of resolution at such an affordable price on something almost 4 times the size -_-

I think manufacturing problems scale up exponentially with screen size, manufacturing a UHD on a 14" is probably more than 4x harder. Plus there is the cost of tooling change, and general disruption of the change. Most screen manufacturers are running on low margins (iirc),so it will take some time before they completely make the change. And then there is a minor issue of 1200 falling out of favour because it offers little marketing advantage and increased manufacturing cost.

are there any 120hz monitors that don't cost more than £150?

im fed up with eyefinity, TV and basically using my small one again. I need a happy medium which aint going to cost loads!

BenQ's are exceedingly reliable for the price. I think the lowest I've seen one for £180, maybe worth checking amazon, as they regularly have deals on my monitor, and I have no complaints.

EDIT: Its definitely worth investing in a Spyder4Elite. I use it to calibrate both my monitors automatically, it corrects colour and contrast etc so colours look as they should. You'd be amazed how wrong monitors are calibrated from the factory.

If your buying then buy it - Dont question why prices are falling, they could go back up next week!

On a fun note - Ive just landed myself a Synology DS213J 2-bay NAS. Im running out of storage and i really need to start shuffling and organising my files better. For the time being ive opted for 2 of them dreaded 3TB Toshiba hard drives because the price fell to £78. I know there are bad feedback on newegg/NICX about them but all of the UK reviews if not all of them have been very positive. 8.4/10 from 79 reviews on Reevo. Some of the bad reviews were about how the item wasnt packaged very well or it looked like someones dog went at it. Very few reports of DoAs - overall very positive reviews.

the NAS comes with 2 USB 2.0 ports on it and i have 1 4TB External hard drive that i can add to it to boost the storage capacity.

Im still looking to pull at least 2 hard drives out of my PC case.

1. Plextor M5 SSD/Bootdrive (stays)

2.Samsung HD154UI/Dumpdrive (Removing/Soon to be decommissioned due to age & what im guessing are 3 bad sectors)

3. WDC WD1502FAEX/Dumpdrive

4. WDC WD1502FAEX/Games

5. WD20EARS/Dumpdrive (Removing)


If possible i would like to shuffle most of the data off the FAEX's (they are WD Blacks btw) and raid 0 both of them just for my games. but that could be a waste of space seeing as my entire games partition takes up about 500gigs and i dont want to use them as storage when raided.
