Thanks for the reply, very good to know PWM not suggested for simple voltage lowering.
I'm looking at the Maximus IV or V Gene in an air-cooled build I'm working on, and it has 5x PWM fans as far as I can tell, but then I've found...
There is a 3-pin molex which can be controlled by lowering voltage (via a fan controller) but could not be controlled by the motherboard since it doesn't support pulse width modulation (PWM), correct?
A 4-pin molex can receive PWM from...
Thanks for letting me know about PSU, don't know why I was confused before. I'm definitely going with that case and will likely do a similar build to yours.
I would think your GPU makes more noise than any PWM case fans so you could...
Hey gabe if you see this, you still happy with your rig? I'm thinking about building one with the same case. One thing that has me hesitant is powersupply needing to have a rear facing fan (either that or blow the hot air down into the...
The GPU you have selected has been reported as too noisy by several of the reviewers on Newegg. If you want to spend $50 to $100 more for noise reduction, these are the best options I know of:
MSI HD 6950 Twin Frozr II 2 GB ~$299
Palit...
Anyone have a guess when this will be available? I don't know how the press release to testers to available for purchase schedule typically works, but I'm going to make a wild guess of April 20th.
