    Replacing outer fan on beQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 4.

    I can't see any issue because the dark rock Pro 4 uses metal clips to hold the outer fan in place and it's 120mm. I imagine it could be replaced with any 120mm rgb fan and ram clearance shouldn't be an issue with low profile sticks.

    Noise, too much

    Hi, The fans on the cooler you listed can reach speeds of 2200rpm so if they are running at max under load then it will be loud. Before you spend money on a new cooler have you tried controlling the fan speed at all? Also, if it's particularly loud when gaming, what graphics card do you have...

    Fractal Define R5 – How many fans do you need?

    Hey Rezident, I've got the R5 at the moment with an i7 920 (Noctua NH-D14 fitted) and an MSI R9 390. I have 2 front 140mm fans and an additional intake in the floor all connected to the included fan controller, plus a 140mm exhaust at the rear. Temps are fine but if it gets a little too...

    Fan Help

    Looking at the case specs you only get 1 rear fan included, is this correct? If it was me I'd have at least two front intakes and one rear exhaust. Possibly another intake in the floor if it fits. Fan recommendations depend entirely on budget, the airflow is restricted at the front of...

    PWM Fan controller

    Hi Joe, if you wanted the cheapest option you could get fan splitters which would let you connect 2 fans to each header. There is also the NZXT Grid+ V2 which would let you control the speed of the fans using the CAM software. You also have the more traditional choice, a 5.25" bay fan...

    Msi 390 case cooling???

    Two in the front for sure but would probably only need one in the top, it would be quieter that way. Can always add a second if need be. Maybe try a few different options and monitor temps to see what config works best.

    Msi 390 case cooling???

    I've got the same card with a Fractal Design R5. Two intake in the front, one intake in the floor and a rear exhaust. The card was running hot and load until I replaced the thermal paste, which made more difference than changing fan layout etc would have. Take a look at this thread for...

    MSI 390 Thermal Paste causing Heat Issues. Replaced

    I have just replaced the thermal paste on my card after reading this thread. As per pics below, same issue, way too much paste. Temps going into the 90's playing The Witcher 3 and fans spinning at 100%. Replaced with just a little line of Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut and fired up The Witcher 3...

    Picked up GTA V on steam for £24, I think it can be had for cheaper elsewhere but I find it more convenient buying directly.

    Potential GPU Upgrade.

    I can live with that for the time being, as long as I can play the above titles until I upgrade early next year.

    Potential GPU Upgrade.

    Thanks for the reply, I thought it would be okay but always nice to get a second opinion. Looks like I'll go for it then, probably the MSI one.

    Potential GPU Upgrade.

    Hi guys, I've been looking at upgrading my gpu to a R9 390 this week. There are a few games I'd like to be able to play e.g. GTA V, The Witcher 3, Far Cry 4 at decent settings. Not sure if the rest of the system would be too much of a bottleneck. i7 [email protected] 6GB ram 1080p monitor I'm...

    Best budget SSD for me?

    Hi guys, I've finally decided to make the jump from HDD to SSD for my boot drive however I am on a max budget of £60 but the lower the better. I was going to go for the SK Hynix 128GB but I thought I'd check here before making the purchase. What do you think my best option is? Here are a few...
