Phanteks PH-TC14PE vs Noctua NH D14

From the reviews I've seen, the Phanteks usually comes out on top marginally. If you're after that last degree on air, grab yourself the Phanteks, it's the king right now.

Turn PC off every night or leave it on 24/7? (Discussion)

my fanless leechbox / home server is on 24/7. gaming PC and the even the fileserver only comes on when needed. it would be pointless to leave them on 24/7 wasting electricity and making noise. while they're not loud i'm just a huge fan of silent computing.

What's your favorite video card?

GF4 Ti4600. Lasted longer than any other video card I've ever owned for actual use. Partially thanks to the FX series being so awful.

P4@1.4ghz

depends on whether or not the 1.4 is socket 423 or 478. if 478 then u can pick up a cheap 478 mobo no problems. i can't remember, but isn't the first 478 P4 was a 1.5ghz, if it's a 423 CPU then you may need to track down a old MB or sell it and get that fry's deal.

What do you REALLY get from OCing?

running UT04 max details with the exception of the shadows function @ 1280x1024x32 on a ti4200? skipped a whole generation of video cards and still going strong. Doom 3 will change that though i suspect. anyway, i too have a 3.0C and i've tried it @ stock and @ 3.7, the difference in...
