  1. You're right, that could indeed cause problems if you do a filthy switch exchange and leave dust back in. Manufacturers probably will come with a solution to seal them but I still hope that you will be able to replace broken switches yourself. I'm sure typing with these will be just as great as with normal mechanical key switches or that you will be able to toggle the "pressure" setting so they behave like normal switches in general. Yes! Combine these and a Cherry MX Board 6.0 with RealKey and you would have one awesome gaming keyboard. I'm not sure however how the pressure sensitivity would make in competitive games such as CS:GO, will be much fun to test
  2. I just found these by luck, these switches seem to be very interesting. Link: http://www.custompcreview.com/news/computex-2015-adomax-flaretech-infrared-keyswitches-could-be-keyboards-next-big-thing/24510/ Video:
  3. Sounds like the sound mentioned here? Probably caused by vibrations. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/342188-fixed-enermax-liqtech-240-annoying-pump-noise-12v/#entry4661545 Make sure you mounted it tight and it fits perfectly. Also test if the noise persists if the H220 is unmounted. The quickest way for this is to unmount the pump and start the PC for a little. If the CPU is not overclocked it will not get very hot for a few seconds (or even minutes) even when there's no cooler on it. If you're unsure start the pump only by using a ATX Jumper and maybe a 12V Fan adapter / fan controller to test it.
  4. I can only recommend the none Asetek solution from Enermax. Consider reading my thread before though and in case you get it I'd appreciate a post if you actually had similar issues. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/342188-fixed-enermax-liqtech-240-annoying-pump-noise-12v/?view=findpost&p=4663201
  5. Okay, I trusted you and dismounted my pump. Before I packed it up for RMA I decided to let it run once more outside the case / unmounted -> it seems that the pump itself is very quiet indeed (not inaudible, but definitely quieter than if it's mounted). The problem obviously is that it transfers its vibrations onto the motherboard (P8P67 LE Socket 1155) / screws / parts on the motherboard like the CPU directly, which leads to the humming noise in the video. I now have tried to mount it again, was sitting for like a hour figuring the perfect position of the pump / the perfect strength of the screws. It's a lot quieter now, but I didn't manage to completely eliminate the vibrations and make it run just as loud as it would unmounted so I sent the cooler back in and might rebuy it when I have a new Mainboard.
  6. I just got my new and first All in One water cooling unit, mounted it on top of my Define R5 and found out, to my disappointment, that the noise of the pump as well as included fans were way more noticeable than some of these Tech Reviewers said (JayzTwoCents, Tech Uploaded). I exchanged the fans with one of Noctuas NF-F12 and a be quiet! Silent Wings 2 case fan because I've no other pressure optimized fan: please read the video description as well https://youtu.be/dG6ZPFM-dYY I'm not trying to keep you from buying the Enermax AIO here ("fix" for above in video description), since I was specifically looking for a non Asetek rebranded AIO and after exchanging the fans and lowering the pump RPM it's a very nice AIO and fits perfectly for me from the looks as well as performance perspective. I wanted to bring this up since this product is relatively unknown but people should know what they can expect.
  7. Sorry to bring this thread up again, but in my opinion it should be a sticky under the water cooling section, simply because a lot of AIO buyers don't even know about the company which really created the kit of their copy AIOs (Asetek). I've always been wondering why all the AIOs from different companies looked exactly the same and got the same "updated" versions (suddenly all of them came out with round shaped pumps, radiators sizes above 240mm and the same mounting mechanism). Now I know that Asetek is keeping other companies from developing more improved parts for their AIOs by suing them and referring to their brainless patents. How could you even patent something that simple? There is pretty much no other way to build an AIO without using any part / design Asetek already patented. Because of Aseteks behavior I'm not willing to buy any AIO water cooling units from companies who are re-branding their products including Corsair, NZXT, Fractal (?) and Cooler Master and I hope other users will think about their purchase now. Very sad that tech reviewers have to promote their products. Let's hope the Raijintek Triton or Alphacool Eisberg (which of course it not entirely free of Aseteks patents, at least I think so) but costs a lot less than other AIOs will perform well. However, if I misunderstood something completely wrong and hated on Asetek by no reason you can of course correct me and tell me what really is going on. I'm always open for others minds! Thank you
  8. Hi there! I just tested my HDD speeds with some different benchmarking tools. In HD Tune I however have noticed a continues performance drop over the test run and now I would like to ask if it's normal or I'm the only one with this issue / what could be causing it (Health values seem OK). I also tried disabling emptying the cache in the device manager, but there is no big difference between it being off or on.
  9. I think people are only hating it cuz it's a change and people don't like changes. Personally, I enjoyed Vessel since Linus told us it exists. It's good enough, not super awesome but okay. Even though I sometimes have streaming problems watching videos there it works most time.
  10. Vessel account name: Metro1337 aand, last favored / commented videos https://www.vessel.com/videos/Yj4PbcgKj https://www.vessel.com/videos/MI7F0u2H8 Thanks for doing this giveaway and good luck to everyone!
  11. But because AF fans are for air flow, don't they get more air through it and therefore dispates the heat more quickly?
  12. We all know that whether running a fan in push or pull doesn't make any real difference, maybe not even at all. As I learned, running pressure optimized fans in push is more effective than running air flow fans in pull, but what actually about running AF fans in pull? I mean, they don't have to push air through the radiator by themselves and since they are airflow optimized they can get more airflow through it, which also ends in better temperatures by blowing the heat away more strongly, right? Unfortunately I have no AIO water cooling unit yet to test since I'm waiting for the new tech in 2015 (G-Sync, Free-Sync, DDR4 as well as new mainboards and processors)
  13. And what exactly? Maybe it would help out other people having the same problem.
