Silent but Costly

Advantages: Pretty much Silent
Disadvantages: Low air flow, may need several fans

Sharkoon Silent Eagle 1000 Case fan. A innovative brand that uses the golf ball effect dimples to reduce noise and yet keep air flow at a reasonable rate. The Silent Eagle is quite a expensive fan, as fans go. At around £5 a fan you do get your moneys worth in terms of quality and silence. The 2 fans which I brought have drastic reduced the noise my computer now emits. The only sound that I can now hear is my CPU fan whirring around. Despite the ...
...two standard fans for these Sharkoon Silent fans, my idle temp has to a quite high 34*C.... This rises alarmingly to a dangerous 41*C at stress (Stress consists of Games, Memory Tester programs and any high processor usage programs) Don't mistake me. 41*C will not directly affect your PC components... however prolonged usage at high temperatures will reduce the longevity of your components. High temps could also need to more crashes and freezes. ...

Worth its weight in silver?

Advantages: Great thermal conductor
Disadvantages: Expensive, hard to spread

Arctic Silver 5 (AS5) is one of the most recommended TIM (thermal interface materials) by enthusiasts. Its made using actual silver, which is pretty cool, and it does look pretty cool when it comes out of the tube. Applying the TIM The ideal way to put TIM on the CPU is to put on a small amount, say the size of a small grain of rice, and rub it in. The excess is cleaned off and then an even smaller amount put on and left - when the Heatsink is ...
...the TIM compound to 'settle' Pros Gives great temperatures Cheaper than Shin Etsu Cons Hard to spread Expensive (£5 compared to £1.50 for generic TIM) Overall If your looking for a drop in temperatures without spending too much money Arctic Silver 5 is perfect! ...

Its just hot air..........

Advantages: exhausts hot air from your system
Disadvantages: Gets blocked with dust

When building a computer its essential to have adequate cooling to keep components running at there optimum. Its a known fact that the cooler you can get your computer the high you can overclock it safely and the your computer will run faster. I bought this fan to do exactly that, remove the hot air that accumilates within your PC's case. Setup: The fan is relatively easy to attach to your PC and fits into one of the PCI slots on your case. PCI slots ...
...The fan is powered from the PSU and has a 4 - pin connector. It doesn't actually slot into the PCI slot on your motherboard you just place it over one and screw it into the metal frame. Fan Cooling: The fan does exhaust hot air but personally i dont think its that effieceint. Id rather have an extra fan attached that have one of these taking up a PCI slot of which there aren't that many. Noise: The noise isn't actually that bad, you couldn't tell ...

Foam me up baby

Advantages: Cleans, Foams, Fizzes
Disadvantages: None

DURABLE Superclean Foam This stuff is just great, I use it for cleaning electrical equipment such as computers, printers, monitors and the like and it really does a great job. When you squirt it, it comes out all foamy like a very foamy thing, and this is great for cleaning electrical equipment as there is less liquid to get inside and cause damage. It comes in cans of 400ml and it lasts for ages, a can probably lasts me around 2 months ...
...a heavy user). Its so simple to use and has great results on most surfaces. The foam itself is alcohol free and doesnt run everywhere after you have sprayed it, this is a big plus else things would end up getting ruined. The spray also disinfects and has an anti-static effect on your equipment which is another bonus when you are dealing with sensitive electricals. To use, simply spray a small amount of foam onto the item that you wish to clean ...
