I know this is several years old and all, but I just wanted to mention mine is still running strong, and I got it pretty much right after it released. My wife ruined the mouse wheel click-button though (She tends to push it at an angle, which made the right side of the wheel mount-slot thing...

Uhhh... So as opposed to forcing everyone to be on the same level playing field as far as controllers go... This shit comes around attempting to give an advantage. Oooook then.

$500 damn dollars and still no REAL steering wheel? come on... for that price I could buy a shitty car and actually go drive it.

48amps is what I would honestly call, eh, decent? When it comes to the low budget range. Annnnyways. What I do know for a fact is I can run a powerhungry overclocked 390 even on this crappy psu. So, I think that says enough to be "acceptable" Also, yeah, it cools pretty well considering I was...

While some sentey psu's definitely are bad. It's not the worst thing out there, so I'd say "horrible" is pushing it a bit, actually a lot.. regardless of how cruddy they tend to be, it wasn't my choice and I can't upgrade at the moment. (assume "I" means my wife in the sense of who chose what to...

well, if it's your socket temp. It's okay I think? (socket is known to max out around 72) that'd put the cpu itself in the the general 10 degrees or so cooler than socket temp. and that's likely the case, since it'd probably lock it's ass down at 1300-1400mhz at 65 degrees.

So, as the topic said, having a somewhat annoying issue with my fan ramping up for no apparent reason over the 2 or 3 days now., after roughly 9 months since getting it. Til now it has run pretty cool and at fairly low speeds - even through lonnnnng gaming sessions. To get specs out of the way...

So hey everyone, I'm interested in going with one of these, I like it's aesthetics a bit more than an h7.. but anyways on their site the way they word it, the dimensions look to be more than 160mm. with the fan at the lowest position does in hit 160mm or is it more more? If it is 160 it'll...

Which would be perfect...if I had one. *shame* and my local part store had doesn't have one to loan right now. One of these days I need to go tool shopping, lol. In a few days I might just take them over to ace and compare/size match there.

Okay guys, I think you got the wrong idea here. these fans all have retaining "C" clips behind the bearing, under the sticker/oil well thing.. (Have you seen gentle typhoon teardowns before? it's really friggin easy.) Anyways. the two sit in there gently and both pop out with nearly no effort...

Hey there, sorry if it's been asked before, could find anything in a search. so I'm trying to figure out the basic size for my fan ball (i think) bearings, I have some that are failing too quickly and I'd rather swap them than buy new fans. I don't know if there are different shaft sizes or...

Yeah, I agree. Just run it outside your rig for a while. If anything there may be no leak yet, but could have weakened it enough to burst the pipe after some pressure is in it. You could always try to get an opinion from a corsair rep too. they can probably judge a little better since they...
