Thanks for all of the responses! From what I've read, I can only fit a 140 mm fan if my graphics card does not extend all the way to the front of the space and eat into the space where the fan would be. Since I'm going to be using a full sized 970, I think I'm forced to use a 120 mm fan. So it...

Do you think I should go with a high static fan, something like the Noctua NF-F12, or more of an air flow fan, like the Noctua NF-S12?

Hi everybody! I'm making a build in the Silverstone SG13, which is a very small shoe box case with space for only one fan up front. I will have a top mounted PSU and a blower style GPU as exhausts, so my question is this: what should I do for my case fan in the front? I can fit a 120mm fan. I...

Thanks for all of your help nb7760! My two exhausts are my PSU and blower style GPU. The spot I have to work with is the front case fan. It sounds like negative case pressure is better for heat management, so I should buy something like a Noctua NF-S12? That seems strange though. Shouldn't I...

Ah great point. I read it as a warning that the CNPS8900 Quiet may be more prone to breaking during travel, but you're right it probably makes more sense as a general no liability clause. Thanks!

Hi everybody! I am considering using a Zalman CNPS8900 Quiet for my CPU cooler in a mITX shoe box build, because of it's size and good reviews. However, the product page has two warnings that say the cooler must be removed when traveling, and that Zalman isn't responsible for damage during...

Thanks for the reply! I just wanted to be sure! :)

I would appreciate input from anybody that can help! :)

The articles I've read so far say the price of the GTX 980 price was dropped $50 to $499 along with the announcement for the GTX 980 Ti. It looks like that may be the only official price adjustment by NVIDIA with the release of the card. Since the 980 Ti is slotting in at a new price point, it...

Thanks for the suggestion! I've got low profile ram, so I'm not too worried about extended out of the "no-go" zone.

Hi everybody! I'm building a SFF mITX build, and I'm trying to figure out the best CPU Cooler for my Xeon 1241v3. The case I'm using is the Silverstone SG13, and the clearance that I have to work with for my cooler is around 80 mm. I was going to use the Raijentek Pallas, but with user...
