Sorry if its been asked, but anyone know if Corsair will offer a different 3.5" drive cage, or if there are third party ones that would line up with the mounting holes? I have 4x2TB drives for media storage, plus an SSD and 1TB 3.5" for...

Vid cards do run hotter when rad is an intake. Mine was around 7C warmer. Under load, there is a 1C CPU difference under full load between intake and exhaust with no other fans going aside from one 140mm rear exhaust at 650rpm. Not...

Sounds like you had as much trouble as I did with bleeding. Ive noticed they do make a bit of noise when mounted to the mobo that they dont make when not mounted. Id say un-mount it and see if it still makes the noise.

PWM just isnt really there yet. I prefer to set it at one speed and leave it. 800RPM on most good fans is really quiet, and not really much warmer then what I would consider a loud 1100-1200RPM.

Quote:Originally Posted by justanoldman If I plug the stock fans and pump into the CPU fan header it works fine, Martin’s lab has a great graph of the % and rpm. I can use 35% and that puts the stock fans at 1300+ rpm. The NF-F12...
