if possible, the fan shud headed towards the rear but iinm from the pic, it's not possible cuz of ur RAMs.

so the other alternative is by blowing it up as hot air will flow upwards, cooler air aka intake from below or side to upper part n rear.

now fan blowing downwards is it?

upward la dude, i mean the fan attached below the cooler wif blowing direction upwards.

if u faced it downward, the gc is going to get hotter, not to mention the ambient temp around inside sure go up...

u mean 'pulling' isn't it?

it's not as effective as pushing the air u know.

yep, push effect and pull effect. two diff conditions but in 1 direction.

example jz like chanws8 said

as usual from u, nice n clean cable management. btw, how many CM690 u have own now?

ACi sell nano fusion at RM35, mostly order from the garage sales/bulk orders here in lyn n occasionally order from pczone. i personally like pczone better, very fast service n feedbacks.

i've got the original V8's fan wif fan controller, but only got 2 leds. u want it?

lol, didn't u use the same mobo as i am? i mean on ur other rig?

thx btw...

gud luck in finding them

depends on the ambient, but roughly can be seen when on 100% load. 4~5'C i'd say.

on idle only 1~2'C diff.

haven't tested on higher clocks tho.

yep, here's a review from frosty tech V8 and Hyper 212 Comparison

see the lists for urself.

of course there's alr no red light, i've changed it d...

more expensive doesn't mean it's better, example (again) sphere, price range almost the same wif hyper 212 but performance is totally diff.

but V8 proves by reviews all over the web tat it's good n beat hyper 212, so i decided to use it. but it's actually for my next upgrade, for phenom II X4 955 BE. still funding...

great idea, putting oil inside the bearing. less friction, last longer.

ever thought of a fan spinning 1200~2000rpm + xtra oil will do?

some math, 20 000 ~ 50 000 hours roughly for a single fan = 2083 days = 5.7 yrs. i don't think all of us here will use the fan till tat period, rite?

wat we'll do is change n keep changing to a newer fan so i'd say self lubricating it is pointless,lol.

well, all fans manufactured had been lubricated n will stay in tat way unless it leaks via operation. i discovered yesterday while cleaning my fans tat few had greasy blades + dust of course.

but tat's not the point here, even if u put more oil or grease to the bearings, it will came to a point of breakdown somehow, maybe after u use it like 2~3yrs then it's relevant to put some grease or oil to help smooth things up.

jz dun pick the wrong grease or oil n dun overdo it, u'll get other probs if u do.

i've been trying to tell them earlier dude but they jz won't listen.

today while i go jalan2, bought another 90cfm blue fan + 4pin 12V extension cable...

decided to change the 'additional' boring 1200rpm fan to 2000rpm instead



rerouting the cables n tis is the best i can do, can't achieve something like nidzamputra did tho, sad....


front view, up and running.



i was hoping my proc's temp will go down but instead my GC drop 1~2'C...

but haven't tested on 100% tho.

now can challenge HAF's series?

iinm, the heatsink is facing upwards, if put vizo propeller, the gc will block the airflow directly to the heatsink.

there's an article n benchmarking done by goldfries in his site on bottlenecking between gc and proc. go check it out.

damn, today my rear 90cfm fan can't spin properly no more. it rattles/wobble. suspect lack of grip at the screw joints. my advice to u all using tis fan to make sure to reduce the vibration cuz it surely vibrates like hell...

buy a new 1 d, my casing now is brighter than b4.

RIP to my default hyper 212 fan here, too much force when handling it...



thinking of re-using it, buy a gam gajah d...

i dun think i'll lubricate it, still runs fine imo. only the brackets broken.

now waiting, for the glue to dry i mean.

later test run, i'm gonna take some pic of my casing. lack pics in tis thread

yea, i'm aware of the vibration can do to the 'glued' brackets. i'm thinking of using rubber from used or worn bladder acting as a dampener/washer

or

jz buy from garage sales here?
