I've been looking on the internet for some silent case fans but most people recommend Noctua, Corsair or some other premium fans. What are some silent...

    Do I need to plug in a molex cable to the PCIe-PWR1?

    There is a connector on my motherboard that is labeled in the manual as PCIe-PWR1.

I have been using the computer with...

    Are these overclocks good?

    I recently got a new computer with an i5 4690k and a hyper 212 evo. I'm new to CPU overclocking and was wondering if my clocks / voltages / temps were fine. I manged to get 4.5Ghz @ 1.2v and while using the computer during gaming the CPU would get to about 71C. I thought it was a little high so...

    I am currently running my i5 4690k @ 4.5Ghz and Vcore of 1.19v. I tried 4.7GHz at 1.26v but it wasn't stable. I lowered it to 4.6Ghz with 1.24v but my temps were hitting 90 with IBT and 80 with prime95. Currently at 4.5Ghz my temperatures are in the low 70s with prime 95 and with IBT it is...
