QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Sep 22 2013, 10:10 PM) All the chassis you mentioned has great airflow so no worries there, the end result comes down to your fan setup insde the chassis What fan setup is best for Phantom 410 ?more options?? try take a look at BitFenix, Xigmatex and Corsair, these are brands that should not be overlooked and about design?? well can't say much, everyone's taste is different, I could say that the BitFenix survivor is the best designed chassis and there is bound to be someone who would disagree Its included top 140mm, rear 120mm and front 120mm so where should i add and which 1 to make positive airflow or negative airflow ? |

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Oct 6 2013, 02:31 PM) IMHO the initial setup us good enough with the stock fans but if you insist adding another intake for positive airflow, just mount another 120mm or 140mm at the front will do So 2x 120mm front fan intake ( both are buy 1), side 120mm fan stock x1 intake, 1 rear exhaust 120mm and 1 top exhaust 140mm rite? |

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Oct 7 2013, 08:35 PM) Same thing what I do with my 4 extra fans... keep them in storage until needed Lol i just put as a side fan + dust filter bah(maybe). If i put as top fan would it be 1 intake and 1 exhaust or both intake and exhaust?white and quiet... only the Fractal Design XL comes to mind |

QUOTE(gxthelord @ Oct 8 2013, 09:55 AM) Hey guys I wanna know what do u guys think about NZXT Phantom 530 n 630? Which is more better for setting up a water cooling system including the GPU wb as well. so u want to change case? What case u come from Kinda torn in between in these 2. Is the Rm100 difference worth it? IMO that 630 has a bigger space for WC |

QUOTE(gxthelord @ Oct 8 2013, 06:34 PM) same case as u CM Elite 431 Plus lols.. cable management has been headache among all cases that I have ever bought. wow i tot im the only one lol » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I might go with Phantom 530 with some cable extension. As far I see from review space isn't much issue in both casing as front modular cage can be removed. It's a hundred bucks diff >< Cable management sucks in this case. And the cable its pulling my 670 down. ::Edit:: Btw u got any best guide for swapping case ah? This post has been edited by kueckcinx: Oct 8 2013, 06:46 PM |

QUOTE(gxthelord @ Oct 8 2013, 06:50 PM) ikr~! such a headache case but oh well u get what u pay for I guess. I'm thinking of 530 cuz one of my mobo pin is needed to be routed from top left of the casing. Aside of that I wanna set up push pull config for my radiator on top. Here's my latest update on my current case. U can see if using push pull config is impossible to mount on top(the Z77 box thingy) is blocking, and if u see closely got one cable beside that box that needed to be routed. For 410 seems to be very tight on top. i never planned for WC lol.. Just air cooling with Hyper 212 EVO XDBtw how many Celsius drop if i swap case? |

QUOTE(gxthelord @ Oct 8 2013, 07:11 PM) lols basicly right as long ur input>output then okay already(positive pressure). I don't think got much difference and not to say much fan the better. I rmb reading in one test they just have one or two exhaust and a input does the well than other config(need find back that link). What's gpu with direct heat exhaust? Does our twin frozr is like this? So phantom 410 is suitable for me mah in your opinion?As long got good airflow its sufficient imho. Maybe 1C - 3C temp drop but our country so hot so yeahh Edit: Found one of the linky Tomshardware |

QUOTE(gxthelord @ Oct 8 2013, 07:46 PM) definitely suit u lor~ Most important u like it! ^^ I love the design of phantom 410 I think means like pushing the air to behind coming out. So yeah I think its like our twinfrozr So if positive pressure den will overpressure our twin frozr liao? And can I move my casing with hyper 212 evo? Move upstairs and downstairs cuz I scare heavy heatsink wreak our motherboard lol U see the wires is pulling my 670 down. Gonna change case soon This post has been edited by kueckcinx: Oct 8 2013, 08:10 PM Attached thumbnail(s) |
