Hello guys

I bought an ATCS 840 for my new desktop and was suprised by its gigantic size and weight. I hope the ventilation really worth it.

Is there any tips such as changing the initial fan to a better one for improving airflow?

p/s: I haven't touch anything so basically its still using 2 fans at the top,1 at the front and 1 at the back. Forgot the size >.<

Haha..dam..now no more budget..

here is the full specs

Asus Rampage II Extreme
Intel Core i7-975 Extreme
Asus ENGTX295 (2way SLI)
Transcend 128G SSD+1TB WD 7200RPM Caviar Black
Corsair Dominator GT TR3X6G2000C8GT Triple Kit 6G (2set@12G)
CoolerMaster ATCS840 Transparent Side Panel
CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 1250W
Cooler Master V8

i was thinking to switch the fan to make it looks nicer with all the lighting and all..and i was wondering if the initial fan could really pump enough air flow to support all the hardware..any specific recommendation for the led color and positioning of the fan guys?? biggrin.gif

Everyone have a good looking casing sia... thumbup.gif

Question: CM V8, is it possible to switch the stock fan with a 90CFM 120mm fan (LED)? If it is possible, should I change to a 90CFM fan?

And for any ATCS840 user here, did you guys add up all optional fan at every available slot and switch the 230mm fan to Stormforce? I'm afraid that it would mess up the air ways. (Intake from front, exhaust at back and top)

Anything you guys can tell me bout this? I'm really confused about adding additional fan at the bottom(suck in air, or exhaust) and swapping the 230mm for stormforce... rclxub.gif

hey thanks for that..


» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


well.coz the stock fan doesnt seems dat good..heh..but i stick to stock for now..thx!

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


icic..so how's the cooling? better with positive pressure? i was thinking of that too..coz it seems that the stock design is exhaust>intake..
cant wait to get my rig on this monday..hopefully..and then i will try to make some adjustment to the fan and all.. notworthy.gif

I see..thanks for all of the troublesome explanation...and the products that ur looking for seems quite good rclxms.gif
Basically, to get pos pressure, just remove the top front fan right? I guess once I got my rig I'll start experimenting with all the possible setup for the fan and all..dust filter rox coz my hostel room is non a/c for now and dust keep on coming out of nowhere..

So for the front fan and top back, are you using the stock fan? The only way I can light the casing is through CCFL and LED fan rclxub.gif

My case right now is completely taken apart for paint work..and awaiting parts for new components like new cpu, cpu cooler , mobo, vid, ram - basically complete overhaul lol. But yeah I plan to use the 230mm stock fans - kinda hard to find non stock ones that fit this case. I know CM sells a blue led 230mm fan specifically for the Storm Sniper, that might fit, not sure. Also the Scythe Kama Bay I linked earlier, comes with blue led 120mm fan that shows through the mesh - and you can swap out a different led fan if you are so inclined.

I see...I guess I just buy one or two stormfoce and some red LED fans for now..fill up all the available slot and switch the rear exhaust for some lighting effects..thanks a lot btw notworthy.gif

Helloy guys..
its been a while..i finally picked up my rig a few days back..after a few days of stress test and changing driver and reformartting again and again.finally its up for business rclxub.gif

i wil upload some pic later..but everything is still stock..just went to moderno to get a 120mm red LED fan and a stormforce to replace my front intake and add an extra intake at the bottom

somehow..i dont really know what to think of the temperature..
CPU-40+ (idle)
Both GPU-45~55+(idle)
55~60+(game)
SB&NB ~57
MB-40+

any comment? im running in a non-a/c room...
maybe i should change the fan layout....seems like too much exhaust...
u can check my spec at the siggy part...any tips? hmm.gif
