Probably is but, I refuse to buy a psu with 80mm fans again

You'd be surprised, the 80mm fan design is much more effecient as the air is moving straight, instead of at a right angle to exit the case, therefore requiring less airflow for more airflow(if that makes sense). They also use a "noise supression gap" where the fan is ~1" away from the heatsinks/components to "reduce turbulence". The heatsinks are also able to be larger, requiring less airflow.

If its too loud for your tastes though, you could probably bum it off on craigslist at a profit haha.

6. SHOULD AN ATX POWER SUPPLY BE COOLED WITH A 120MM FAN?


Most low-noise ATX power supplies today utilize a top-mounted 120mm fan rather than a rear-mounted 80mm fan. The 120's favorable reputation is based on the fact that under low to medium load conditions, the 120mm fan provides sufficient cooling at low RPM and low RPM fans are generally very quiet.

However, problems occur with this design when the load exceeds 50%-60%. Because the 120mm fan consumes about 1.5" of vertical space inside the PSU, heat sinks, capacitors, and other components are about 30% smaller in height compared to a PSU with a rear-mounted fan. The smaller parts can handle less current, so the maximum power available with the 120mm design is limited. And, because the heat sinks have less surface area, more air flow is needed with this design to keep the thermal situation under control. With 80%-100% load, the 120's fan speed can double and the noise level can jump by up to 20dB.

In conclusion, for systems that require more than 50% of the power supply's capacity, a well-engineered PSU with a rear-mounted 80mm fan will provide superior performance and reliability (due to larger components) at a noise level comparable to a PSU equipped with a 120mm fan.

23" 1080p NEC display for $279 shipped (Use promo code EMCYRYZ62):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824002524

It may seem a bit pricey at first, until you realize it is an IPS panel, not to mention the fact its NEC, one of the best display manufacturers on the market.

And while the response time may seem low, that is White to Black, not Grey to Grey. 14ms White to Black is roughly equal to ~5ms or so GTG.

I've never seen an IPS screen that cheap. :eek: Nice find. Perfect for photographers on a budget.
