The issue is probably that both copper and aluminum fin arrays exceed the minimum surface area required to dissipate the six pipes worth of heat (ie. pipes or base are the rate limiter). More than likely Dondan could take the height of each fin down in copper or alternatively thin the array to...

Most likely the 123 CAD valuation the value is the replacement cost to NCases, not the retail price. They most likely (ironically) put that value down intentionally to minimize your customs charges while still reflecting the insurance coverage they would need should something happen to the case...

My two cents.. It seems to me that a fair way to settle this dispute would be to use the calculators provided to determine an agreed upon "fair" customs and brokerage charge based on the true value of the case. Subtract that amount from the 101 CAD to get the amount that has obviously been...

Looking at that calculator, I can't figure out any reasonable way for Canada Post or CBSA to have arrived at such a high number. Even on a 500-600 dollar purchase the supposed fees and taxation should have been a fraction of what you paid. Right now the Yuan equals 4.6 TWD. 4.6x 11.50 is a far...

Just to clarify this, you would have still had to pay brokerage fees (flat rate) and the GST/PST on the proper price to get your package, so I don't think NCase could possibly owe you 101.07 CAD. The way Canada Post calculates this is a brokerage fee based on service and parcel origin...

The thing that puts the Deskmini way ahead of the Zotac units (in my mind) is the case is very oversized and it can quite easily be pared down to 1.6L with sufficient cooling using the CustomMod Nano. Additionally since the GPU and CPU are both upgradeable you have: a.) the option to recoup...

I've managed to get all of the 92mm compatible fans on this list and will be doing a shootout at some point in the not too distant future for those interested.

So about a month ago I contacted Innodisk about getting a batch of RAM done with Samsung B dies at 2400 MHz in black and they finally got back to me. Looks like about 102.50 per 8GB DIMM. While I did get a few emails and PMs from interested people, it definitely wasn't enough to meet the MOQ of...

Just a heads up for anyone thinking of using the Titan 95mm extreme fan - it has to mounting holes for an 80mm fan, not a 92mm fan. I read it on the spec sheet before I bought it, but figured it had to be a typo. It wasn't.

Not to be lazy, but dondan would it be possible to have a table of the most up-to date testing results in the OP? Would be really nice to see where things are at performance wise in one place rather than having to jump back and forth to make performance comparisons. Thanks!

Thank you for your positive contribution to the thread. Someone upgrade this guy to [H]ard|Gawd immediately!

Sadly the Akasa FN077 92 x 13mm fan has been discontinued:(

Wow that is a massive difference. Did Lian Li actually make the heatsink, or did they source it through another OEM? If they made it themselves, I could see their lack of experience making heatsinks instead of cases being an issue. If they outsourced to another OEM, I'd be really curious to know...
