inferniac Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 This stock cooler is very impressive actually. It doesn't make noise. System is very quiet and the only noise is the 200mm fan at the top. This cooler was able to run Battlefield 3 at 4.3Ghz at 41C degrees. My buddy has the same i5 2500k with liquid cooling and he is getting about 40C on his for BF3 at 4.3Ghz. Yep, nothing wrong with intel stock coolers.

The stock intel fan I got with my first gen i7, was the noisiest part of the whole system. That stupid thing had a really annoying high pitched whine to it. Then it started acting up, and was replaced by zalman model (that completely dwarfs it btw), that is nearly silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try another one when I have money. @Titoist +100 for an impressive looking build. -50 for the IDE cable. ;) The IDE cable only connects the DVD Drive. I barely use it anyway. Only to install windows :p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsupersonic Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Why do people always put their computer desks up against walls? So you don't have wires sticking out the back, and looking like an absolute mess? If it's done really well, you can pull it off by not having it against a wall.

OoTLink Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Putting furniture against the wall is usually the most efficient use of space (unless you have an oddly shaped room or something). I found as a kid that putting my bed against the wall ALSO maximized the space! I don't really get the point of sticking your table out in the middle of the room, since you've probably got a large monitor blocking the view anyway. Aside from a few Apple monitors most monitors are ugly to look at from behind anyway. remixedcat 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtunate Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Why do people always put their computer desks up against walls? One of the big reasons that desks are placed near walls if for access to Power and communication ports. 95% of the time, Power and network jacks are in the wall (in some rare exceptions, they are in the floor), so placing the desk near a wall is often necessary, unless you can run cabling under a carpet, or hide it in some other fashion, placing the desk against the wall is often the easiest the most economical way to hide cabling.
