That's a clever acronym. :) Here you go friend, Swiftech makes the Helix series of fans, they are meant to supplement the Gentle Typhoon and the fan blades look identical. It uses a modified sleeve bearing known as the Z-Bearing. There are three kinds, 120mm, 140mm, and 120mm PWM...

Great, guess I should sell my Titanium HD now before it's market value falls through the floor. Great find, thanks for posting. The Recon3D literally has an order of magnitude more crosstalk, two orders of magnitude (100x) worse IMD distortion and THD + N (A-wtd) and even more atrocious is...

Wow, the 7970 QuadFire and the FX 5700 with the LCD, those are freaking awesome!!! I've always liked the looks of the ASUS 5870 V2, it just looks like it means business with the beefy 80mm fan. http://upload.hardver-teszt.hu/imgs/news/2010/695/asus-eah5870-dis-v2-3d.jpg The 5870 is the...

Your 6870 has core voltage control, and my understanding is that you are using it to hit 1 GHz, so you aren't going to get any gains on the core if you did this. The memory isn't going to go much faster than 1220 MHz, and even if it did, your real performance gain (if it hit 1350 MHz for...

So what part of my statement needed correcting? ZeroCore or not it still uses less power... which is awesome! :rockout:

7970 CrossFire uses less power at idle than an HD 5770 (13w vs. 15w). Someone tell me that's hilarious.

The title would have been much more eye-catching if you had included the colloquial term SR-2 in it. But yeah nice find.

I see two great applications for this: PageFile and ReadyBoost. Some people might avoid putting the PageFile on a flash drive since it can get yanked out. With this inside the case you could have an 'integrated' ReadyBoost and external PageFile. P.S. I'm from [H]ardForum, and it's nice to meet...
