QUOTE(AlexLee277 @ Jul 6 2009, 01:27 PM) agree with above, do u do cable management? Cable management.... tied them with cable tie.. just haven't know where to hide them... what is the temp? 40C? are u using normal stock cm fan? About the temp... I later restart go BIOS see.... Yes... Normal stock fans... Added on July 6, 2009, 8:29 pm QUOTE(Kaellis @ Jul 6 2009, 05:52 PM) your psu got any hole at the back(cable area),if got close it up Cover the holes of the psu?!?!?!?!?! I think that's maybe not a good idea...go for delta fan for exhaust (confirm luka jari if touch the fan blade when running  )price around rm30~35the noise  Delta fan - OMG... You mean sharp or spin fast? I want a more quite computer lar.......... This post has been edited by johnsonwps: Jul 6 2009, 08:29 PM |

QUOTE(Kaellis @ Jul 6 2009, 08:41 PM) just the hole at the back(cable area),if your psu have one(not the fan intake air OIC.... U mean the wire to the mobo isit???? I tot you mean at the casing back there )i suggest this bcoz my old psu got hole at the back and the hot air trap inside the case making it hotter Added on July 6, 2009, 9:19 pmThis is the reading i got from BIOS Open case CPU temp - 59*C Mobo temp - 51*C Closed case CPU temp - 61*C Mobo temp - 51*C If you wonder why the temperature difference between closed and open was because the cpu fan speed increase from 1-2k (open) rpm to 4-5k rpm(closed).. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Can anyone recommend me software for monitoring system temperature????

QUOTE(geforce88 @ Jul 26 2009, 06:06 PM) remove the side panels, then put a table fan beside...... I know it's a low cost solution... But if I use this method = more dust.. and that's not exactly what I want...low cost method, haha For now I will do cable management....... If got time.... too busy playing game.....
