Will do when I get back to Genting, my desktop is there =)

Go..go..go Xigmatek user

=) How's the performance of your utgard anyway?

Not bad I must say, the chasis compliment by 4 unit Fans (3 x 12cm & 1 x17cm) intake 2x12cm & exhaust 1x12m (rear)+17cm (top).
But am thinking to replace the Top exhaust fan with 2 unit of 12cm fan in future.

screenie below:


I decided not to make use of the 2 knobs fan controller, all fans connected to 4 pin molex connector PSU.

Will update again later under full load in a hot day with Ceilling fan only in my room.

any compilation of cons u can giv me on the xigmatek utgard? still wondering whether 2 get these or lancool k62

Let based from the site:

Lancool K62

&

XIGMATEK UTGARD

Dimension:

Lancool K62 = 214mm x 496mm x 498 mm (W, H, D) / Price RM345

UTGARD = 207(W) x 515(H) x 490(D) mm / Price RM309

Both Casing came with pre installed rear, front & top fans
Both casing design PSU allocate at the bottom.
Both casing design with so called "screwless installation in certain part"
Both casing design with liquid cooling Holes
Both casing desing with Transparent side windows
Both Casing design with Dust filter at the bottom (psu bay)
Both Casing design with Front mesh grill.

Slightly addtional is on UTGARD is the 2 knobs Fan Controller (can control 6 fan) + 4 USB port on the front O/I panel.
HDD panel/Bay :

UTGARD its slightly conservative & use " HDD in three 5.25" bay adapter, while Lancool K62 with much prefer HDD bay. (but that depend on user preference)

In term of price: UTGARD is slightly cheaper that Lancool K62.

I can't really give significant Con's on either Chasis. its Just that price comparison, UTGARD slightly had the advantage.

how bout build quality? its thw pci-e slot as strong as the one in lancool k62? is the construction of the lancool k62 strong?

UTGARD Chasis, is pretty solid, same goes as Lancool K62. (both chasis weight at 9KG++)

In term of the "PCI-E" experience, yes, its might be only me that face the problem. (UTGARD)
same as the Fan Knobs "B" that could be only me that face the experience, am sure there is others that are using this UTGARD Chasis, Perhaps they could enlighten us.

going to buy a CPU cooler
which 1 would u guys recon?
XIGMATEK Dark Knight
or
XIGMATEK Balder?

i ahve checked the Utgard at viewnet b4, looks like tthe HDD area(near the intake fan area) at below of the case, looks like gonna be no so good airflow the coz they look quiet stuffy there, in my opinion tat is. but i guess tat woulkd not be a problem if u have an extra below intake fan in the Utgard, coz i think k92 doesnt have below intake, only 1 intake at the front.

Perhaps others could assist you, I never experience Dark knight or Balder yet

Depends on you. I'm using the DK and running at 23C(lowest) idle and 37~38C(max) full load.

please refer to the screenie below:



my UTGARD currently running with :
1x12cm Front intake
1x12cm bottom intake
1x12cm Rear exhaust
1x17cm Top Exhaust

my CPU cooler is Killerwhale with 1x12cm CM 90CFM led fan.

waaa
what proc u using?
and are u OC?

550BE and mildly OC to 3.4ghz
But depends on your surrounding temp. That lowest temp was recorded in A/C room. If non A/C is around 28~29C.

ah, ok, any chance the case will bend or wutever a.k.a bad build qualiity?

i cant find any xigmatek casing her at penang
anybody know where i can get it in penang???

Rest ensure, the build quality is
its will not bend or such.... unless u intend to do the bending out of any particular reason,
even so u will face challenges because chasis is a solid 0.7mm SECC steel.

but Lancool K62 solid 0.8mm SECC steel. slightly thicker than UTGARD

Perhaps penang forumer could assist u then.
