| If your 12v rail was that far out of spec, you wouldn't be asking us that question, you'd be making a thread to ask about crashes or not booting at all. |

| The voltage regulators feeding voltage to the CPU, the voltage regulators feeding voltage to the GPU, the disc drive motors, and fans use +12V. The vast majority of power consumption on modern systems, like 80-95%, is on +12V. Under a light load, with certain rare configurations involving lots of RAM and hard drives, it could well be lower than that, but that's not very common. |

Hey people. I don't know if this the right thread to be writing this in, but i feel that "SC2 Strategy" is the wrong forum.
So on to the question: When i am playing SC2 the units responses (and those of buildings) get cut off by each other. For instance if i click on one scv and it then begins to say it's "greeting frase", if i then click on my CC while the scv is talking, the line gets cut off. The scv doesn't finish the whole sentence, and this is the same with every unit, race and building in the game.
Does anyone have an idea of what this could be? Is it my soundcard or is it fixable from the options menu? I have tried several setting, but none of them do the job. |

That might be because the number of sound channels (ambient noises, sound effects, unit responses) your StarCraft can play at one time is low. You can change this in sound settings on the lower right, if I recall correctly. |

Don't think it's been updated all that recently, but then, fans don't change as fast as other things, and anyways, you only need it so quiet before it gets outstipped by other components.
Plus, if you want quieter, run it slower. Either undervolt it or use a fan controller.Last edit: 2012-04-17 01:19:52 |

Also I believe the thermaltake ty-140 has 120mm mounting holes, if you have room. I may be wrong there, so you should check. But that fan is pretty damn quiet, and it's bigger (bigger -> slower -> quieter on average). Depends on where you put it, because some places will NOT fit that kind of fan (e.g. the top of a corsair case, unless you have a drill handy  ). |

That's actually a nice article. Though I wish it had the rate (volume per minute) that each was rated for as RPM =/= cooling potential. Quite is nice, but quite and effective is even better.
Looks like New Egg has the air flow rate listed for most of their products, so you might want to compare that before making a decision, Zushen. |

SPCR isn't really a cooling resource. Otherwise, it'd probably be coldpcreview.com 
But if someone wants to know about noise, that's the place to look.
And anyways, most fans airflow on retail sites tends to be listed at max RPM, without much about scaling. When you're using voltage to control it downwards, you change the numbers drastically.Last edit: 2012-04-17 02:11:00 |

Uh, manufacturer specs are all over the place and not comparable, since there's little standardization.
You'd have a better idea just guessing based on fan geometry, bearing type, size, listed rpm, price, and brand. |

Well this is true for a number of industries, but going from manufacturer specs still beats guessing IMO... |

I have a problem on my laptop, started like 1 hour ago... tried updating adobe and everything, but still doesn't work..
All video's i watch on the net (streams, even ads from the streams, youtube, haven't tested others but still...), the image seems carved like out of granite (not sure if that's the english word..), and everything is very pale colored. (looks a bit like a picaso lol)
What could be causing this and what can i do? :/

The Thermalright (calling them Thermaltake is an insult IMO) TY-140 is indeed a great fan.
This article is more than a year old but still has lots of relevant fan models that can be found on the market:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/display/140mm-fan-roundup_12.html#sect0
However, for extremely quiet fans, I think it's best to go with some of the more inexpensive options and undervolt them a little to run around ~800RPM max (you get the same results as fans that cost twice as much for an extremely negligible loss in CFM and maybe life expectancy for some). Gelid FN-SX12, Nexus Basic (aka Real Silent - though don't mount these horizontally b/c of Sleeve bearings), Bitfenix Spectre Pro, and some others should be found for sub-$10 and come with rubber mounting. Undervolting just a bit will make them near or virtually silent, depending on the case, tolerance, distance from PC, etc.Last edit: 2012-04-17 03:36:01 |

Okay that is a really nice article. And it has benchmarks, hooray!
JingleHell if you have some time I think it might be worth it to add some information to your cooling thread about what's on the market in terms of case fans. |

| The cx series have a higher tendency then other PSU to do that i believe, but it can happen to ANY unit. Last edit: 2012-04-17 03:48:56 |

That's with the CWT DSA (DSAII) units in the CX series: 430W, 500W, 600W. CX400 is the older and superior Seasonic model. Actually Seasonic is kind of known for coil whine issues as well, but maybe not as much as the new CX series.
CX400 is a good option, but I'd probably slightly prefer the Earthwatts Green 430D over that, unless you don't have a spare power cord handy. |
