To start off I need to show my specs to make things easier.
-Intel Core i5-2500k @ Stock
-MSI P67A-C43
-Seagate Barracuda Green 1TB
-EVGA GeForce GTX 560 SC 2GB
-8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 1.5V
-Diablotek PSDA600
-Thermaltake V3 Black Edition
My question is, does a cooler system mean a quieter system? I had posted a thread recently stating some things I am going to buy in order to make my system cooler, but I am adding more things to that list. If anyone has some things to add (or subtract) then feel free to say. I need to calm my ocd.
-5 Silenx Effizio Fans (15dba, 74cfm, 1400rpm, fluid dynamic bearing)
-Cooler Master Hyper 212+
-SilenX HDD Cooling and Silencing Solution
-(contemplating) Ultra 750 watt PSU (SLI READY 135mm FAN)
My computer has only one thermaltake fan that is not really pushing any air. Using one fan to replace that one, one fan to replace the fan on the Cooler Master Hyper 212+, one fan on the top of the case, one fan on the bottom of the case, and one fan on the front. Thus making my rig more cool. My gtx560 reaches temperatures of 82 degrees celcius when playing crysis 2 at highest (except tesselation) and when playing battlefield bad company 2 maxed. Will all these fans help cool my gpu down?
I am not an over clocker, although I do like to keep my things lasting forever. You can call me one who conserves things. The Cooler Master Hyper 212+ seems as if it would be the best option for me at the moment to drop my cpu's temperatures when at full load. I was reading reviews which stated that the Hyper212+ managed to keep an AMD1090T under 35 degrees Celsius during full load. Like I said before, I will be replacing the fan on the cpu cooler with one of the SilenX Effizio fans because they run cooler and quieter.
My hard drive is quiet, lets keep it that way. The SilenX HDD Cooling and Silencing Solution has acoustic foam, anti vibration grommets, heat sinks on both sides of the hard drive, and with proper cooling it should make my hard drive last even longer. It fits in a 5.25" drive bay and allows fans to be added for further cooling. I have three drive bays remaining, one being taken up by an optical drive.
From various sources, I was told that replacing the Diablotek PSU that is inside my computer because of failure rates and unreliability. Would replacing a psu that has two 80mm fans with a psu that has one 140mm fan make my computer quieter and cooler? Also the Ultra 750watt psu has the power and connections I need for my 560sli idea whenever I need it.
Some other things I forgot to mention above were that I am purchasing some other accessories for comfort or other reasons. I need opinions on them.
-Razer Death Adder Gaming Mouse
-Battlefield 3
-Razer Goliathus Mouse Pad
I need a mouse bigger than the mouse I have. A mouse that is the size of the Microsoft Intellimouse. I did not want to get the Microsoft Comfort Mouse 6000 because people were saying that it had issues such as buttons easily breaking and the middle mouse button not working accurately. I want to pick the Razer Death Adder because it both sounds and looks promising. All the features of a gaming mouse are there and the blue lighting looks very pretty, matching the insides of my computer.
I did play the beta of Battlefield 3, although I think I may have judged it wrong. After studying how Dice used technology such as bullet trajectory and demolition 2.0 in Battlefield Bad Company 2, it made me want to purchase Battlefield 3. This time around Battlefield 3 is not a console port, although I heard they switched lead platform half way through. Can anyone give me a yes or no whether I should get this game?
My keyboard does not move and I want to keep it that way. Testing my keyboard's rubber surface on my current fellowes microban mouse pad, I would feel safe if I had one streteched across the bottom of my keyboard. The Razer Goliathus is a 36.2" x 11.6" gaming mouse pad that allows users to put their keyboard and mouse to better gaming use. The keyboard wont slide around and the mouse is perfectly placed a way from the keyboard. I like it. Does anyone know any alternatives to this though? I would really love the logo in blue or something with blue in it.
One more thing before I stop typing. I am contemplating on purchasing two 4 gig corsair vengeance sticks to match my current ones. That would place me at 16gigs of corsair vengeance using 4 sticks. Is there a true benefit between 8 gigs of ddr3 ram and 16 gigs of ddr3 ram? Also, would I benefit from a RAM FAN from all of the fans I am already adding to my system?
