You forgot to show the before and after sound change!
That comes right at the end once the whole thing is built.

Not meaning to be rude here Nick. But are you really that much of a hardware n00b ?
I'd expect an element of this is down to watching to broadcast to the beginner all the way to the seasoned system builder. But some of those comments were cringe worthy. I mean, in your capacity of working at Hexus, i'm sure you would of come across various fan controllers (sorry Amps).
Great Series, QuietPC is a great company, and their support and advice is second to none
I sort of agree, but we are not the target audience of this. If we are already using corsair psus, TRUEs, speed controlled fans etc. then this is not aimed at us.Not meaning to be rude here Nick. But are you really that much of a hardware n00b ?

But, we ARE the target audience, because we read the website. Not to be elitist, but your average PC World consumer is not going to be coming to Hexus specifically because theres a video on how to fit such devices. As they would probably be too scared to even remove their PCs side panels.
On the one hand, i don't want to offend Nick/anyone if they do actually not fully understand this. But in the other, it is slightly belittling to some of the target audience, who might expect alittle more direct discussion about the products and what's going on.
Yes he is
Thanks mate, appreciated.
Paul @ Quiet PC
Hi Sim0n, truth be told, I do know a bit more about hardware than the video shows but in the case of the fan controller, I did honestly think it was an amp having never been interested in external fan controllers and therefore not familiar with them... which is why I was giving myself a head-slap.
What we're trying to do is aim the shows at both beginners and the more seasoned PC users, hence me asking questions that I think newcomers would ask. Yes, I sound like a complete n00b at times but if we're to get more people interested in PC tech, I thought it'd be good to see some basic questions being asked and answered.
If you didn't like the amp reference, you're gonna hate the next show where we fit "metal-chilly-thingies to the make-my-pictures-go-fast-thingies." (joke)
Good show so far
I thought you were going to silence the PSU by other means than replacing, has this changed? because i recall you saying the scenario is that you cant afford a new PSU etc. Really interested in the PSU silencing because thats the loudest thing in my rig and my Xclio does prove the "bigger is better" theory wrong, its a 140mm fan and isnt quiet by any means as they put half a plastic shield underneath it to force air one side(FAIL, it bounces back) So anything to help fight that would be great
Will watch the next one.
Great series.
It's like I always say: "I know I can trust the advice of a fellow Yorkshireman".

Ohh Nick you can fit my heatsink and fan anytime!
I appear to have been appropriately mocked.If you didn't like the amp reference, you're gonna hate the next show where we fit "metal-chilly-thingies to the make-my-pictures-go-fast-thingies." (joke
Fair game sir! Fair game
Infact, if you mention that (assuming you havent already filmed them), i will donate some money to you, so you can install more make-my-megahurtythings-faster-thingies !
Damn... we've already shot the show!
Seriously though, we really do appreciate the feedback and as much as possible we take it into consideration with the stuff we do.
Hey Skippy...
How about a Hexus affil scheme like scan has, forum members get free shipping or a discount ?
Im sure the videos will help business regardless
