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. | ||

Plus, if you want quieter, run it slower. Either undervolt it or use a fan controller. | ||

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. | ||

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... | ||

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? :/ edit : just ran malwarebytes just in case, nothing .. | ||

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 :p). 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. | ||

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. | ||

I've heard corsair power supplies can have an annoying high pitched whine (I don't know the validity of that though) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371034&cm_sp=Specials-_-17-371-034-_-04162012_1 | ||

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. | ||
