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...

The answer is acceptable bend radius. From my research and talking to my manufacturer's engineers, it seems like you can have a minimal acceptable bend radius (OD) of 5x with a nominal bend radius of 6x. With a 6mm pipe you're talking about 30-36mm with those numbers jumping to 40mm/48mm with an...

I can buy the idea that the copper on black contrast could look good if done right, but the idea that Noctua's coffee and cream fans are ever aesthetically pleasing is a pretty big stretch. Would love to see an example of this, because I certainly haven't yet.

The problem with coating copper fins is that most OEMs may not have the capabilities to do this. I spoke to Thermolab at one point about a plated version of the LP53 and they told me they had once attempted it but had spoiled about half of their heatsinks.

You can electroplate copper to give it a slightly blackened and "dirty" sort of finish that looks quite good and might be what you're thinking of. Alternatively you can nickel plate it, but that wouldn't show any of the coppery sheen underneath.

They also released a 120x15mm fan at Computex which is perfect for this heatsink. Also I can't stress enough how amazing the LCP fan is. They had a single LCP fan outperforming a pair of their current fans on a tower cooler. It was amazing.

So I spoke with Innodisk at Computex and might be setting up a bulk order for their VLP DIMMs depending on the numbers they require as well as interest from this community as well as others. Right now the goal would be to have the DIMMs made with Samsung B-dies to ensure maximum compatibility...

There is also an all copper version of the C7 which is slated to probably be one of the first to hit production. It is really nicely made but man are the units deceptively heavy.

Out of curiosity did they just CNC the bits and throw these samples together for you hand-made, or did you need to pay to get a set of tooling done to obtain samples?

For anyone in the community that has been waiting for the NFC S4 Mini to go up for sale again, now's your chance. Aiming for September fulfillment from what I can tell. http://nfc-systems.com/shop/s4-mini-chassis

So just to give you guys a little insight into the performance of the HDPlex 300W AC-DC, I've been running it through a battery of tests over the last two weeks and it performs quite admirably. The highest load I've put it under is using an Intel 7700K running the Prime95 Blender Test and the...

Can you guys do a lower MOQ on the case without driving the price sky high?

Fits inside the NFC S4 Mini with a little modding/finessing as well.
