I'm debating between 4x 140mm pwm fans like this one: XIGMATEK XAF-F1452 140mm Or getting a fan controller and 4x 140mm Noctua fans. In theory it seems like having 100% software controlled fans would be easier, but I have not used the...

Yes, it's good quality for sure. I'm also not planning on using that stock fan controller either as I already have a 5.25" one on the way. I had not seen the thread on negative pressure- thanks for linking.

My Define Mini showed up today for an Ivy Bridge build I'm going to do as well. I'm planning on using 3x or 4x 1400rpm Scythe Kama Flow fans on a fan controller so I can quickly adjust & figure out optimal configuration. My tenative...

I've had luck at rank ~15 masters tvp by going macro mode (staying +1 base) with marine/hellion/banshee. The concept is: 1rax fast expand into 3x rax making mostly marines. Take fast 4 gas and tech to double starports with tech bays,...

If money is no object, wait 2 weeks for Ivy Bridge 3570k or 3770k... OC is similar to sandy bridge, but Ivy produces less heat. I have not seen a benchmark indicating that a top of the line sandy bridge processor will hit 5ghz but an ivy...

If any mid masters terran want to work on tvp let me know. I'm mid masters and have practiced the match up quite a bit. 1 base all-ins are easy to stop. It's better to always stay a base up with a marauder focused army. If you are...

I've been beating top 25 masters tvp by always staying an expansion up on them (sort of like what zerg has to do against protoss or terran). I think it works at my rank ~15 masters level, but probably fails at GM level since forcefield...

1200rpm or 1800rpm 120mm SlipStream would be good options. 2x 1200rpm or 1x 1800rpm is probably enough cooling provided you get it right on the gpu (with pastic cover removed). If you are using an h80 with stock fans, then go for the...
