I'm using 3 HDDs (2 in cage and one in front mount) with SF450. If you are going with 2 drives only it is better to split them, but if using 3 is doable.
I have both LP53 and L9i and don't think that diff is significant enough to justify buying LP53 because if you event don't own either currently buying LP53 means you need to buy extra fan .... LP53 has horrible mounting (I have bent my MBO - not paying attention) and rest of the cooler is just...
here you go. not the pest pics but if you want I can upload more once I finalize my build. Will delid CPU and make final decision on cooler tomorrow (either stock L9i or LP53 with L9i fan). Hoping to also get 4.5GHz OC since it can be done on stock voltage...
I'll just address first one: nonK 7700 has 600Mhz lover base frequency and 300MHz lower boost frequency so apart from numbers in their model names there is nothing else to comparable there. Intel marketing at full tilt. You can cool 90W CPU with L9i so this case has no issue with 90W CPUs. Only...
Now everyone will buy Silverstone same as they did with C7 :)
I'll just say this ... L9i can keep 6700K stock from overheating while running torture tests - I ran the x264 encoding test with 16 threads for 6h - can be found on OCN and easily reproduced.
I will do the same test for L9i with...
while you idea is noble .... please do think about it the other way .... what would you think if project from US shipping EU parcels 2 weeks before starting distribution for US? doesn't seem right does it?
