Please recommend a good casing around RM150 which is as good as Xigmatek Asgard pro and has usb 3.0 and good cable management

And must have side window

Looking at Elite 311 Plus. Can fit long long long HD6950?? And what's the pros and cons vs Xigmatek Asgard Pro?

Hi guys, what casing do you recommend for budget of RM250?

Ok now I'm seriously thinking about CM HAF 912 Advanced liao. Design and side window is damn sweet

Anyone knows where can I get it the cheapest in LYP preferably?

Just got my desktop rig yesterday together with a CM Elite 311 plus

One thing though, the front fan (blue led fan) is a little noisy. What sort of fan should I be looking for something quieter(and also powerful) and without the led light ( want to tidur with my pc on )

How much is it bro?

Kat mana in Digital Mall?

Btw, how to pasang ah? I super noob in desktop, baru got it yesterday only

My case damn hot when gaming and the fan so noisy

So how it's artic f12 for the front fan. What about the back?

Fan for the GPU also?

Maybe I should say warm, slightly towards hot?

But damn noisy the fan when on full load (gaming). Do you recommend 2 Artic f12 fans for front and rear?

OR change casing to HAF 912 Advanced using stock fan

Which should be better?

PWM fan? Is the Artic f12 a pwm fan?

I'm thinking of changing the front fan only- if bigger than 120mm also can since I read in the website can put in 140mm fan?

It's a lot more silent than my CM Elite 311+ and more powerful right? This is why I'm planning to change

For the GPU fan (which makes the most noise), I'll let it run slower probably around 60% and depend more on front and rear fans

Logical?

Doesn't say much. But I heard in this forum that Artic F12 is silent. So should be way better than the stock fan right?

Btw, easy to install fan?

Mahal

I saw salah haha. Yup I saw that artic f12 in c zone.

I also saw f12 pwm pro RM39 in viewnet.

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...09&hl=artic+f12



Possible to modify 3 artic f12 pwm fans to be fitted onto my HD5870??

I think instead of replacing casing fan, better I get extra fans to blow to GPU since it's the noisiest part. At 80% it's OMG damn noisy.

So possible ah? I dunno how to pasang myself though Wonder who can tolong me

Ok now, coming from a CM Elite 311+ , now looking for a better casing since forummers pointed out that no point having a GPU cooler if my casing ventilation is bad itself.

I like the design of the HAF 912 Advanced very much but I'm kinda open towards others as well. Which would you guys recommend for something below RM300?

Or how about a CM 690II Advanced?

If possible, priority would be a quiet casing with good ventilation and hopefully GPU temperature around 75C and below on full load, GPU fan around 50%

I'm not exactly sure about ventilation but because someone pointed out that using a GPU cooler like the Accelero Extreme Plus II on a casing with bad ventilation would be pointless.

I just got my dekstop like almost a week ago, so I don't think dust is quite an issue.

The passive cooling, I don't quite understand actually. Pasang onto the GPU itself? I understand that it's passive cooling though..

HDD Cage, you mean just below the DVD writer area...the black area there, unused dvd write slot? Here can put extra fan?



And also another thing, I noticed my front fan is blowing at the "brackets" near the HDD there. The brackets are restricting air flow into the main casing compartment at all! How do you suggest I modify?

Ok. I try and see whether I can transfer it to the lower cage and remove the middle and top one.

My front fan is rated as

Front: 120 x 25 mm blue LED fan x1, 1200 rpm, 140 mm fan x1 (Optional)

http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6706

An Artic F12 PWM (or Pro version) should be way better than the front fan right? And quieter too

Also can place a 140mm fan

Thanks bro. Now im in lowyat now. Looking for best 140mm fan and hopefully silent. Any recommendations?

OmG please help me I kennot install the arctic f12pwm port at all. It doesn't fit

F12 is the black one
