Just got my CM Centurion 532 from Moderno this Wednesday...I hide my fan controller cable, front panel cable, fan molex cable under the mobo after seeing Uncle Ianho photo of hiding cable for the C5... icon_rolleyes.gif

No photo to show...sorry...coz I do not have DC, Handphone Camera...but I will use my brother handphone camera to take some photo to show as he will be back tomorrow... rclxm9.gif

anyway, I do not opt for bling bling...just have little blue light come from the C 532 stock 120mm intake fan... whistling.gif now waiting for my gc to come back from seller there as I send for checking...so currently have TNT 2 Pro install...not so perfect for the looking... shakehead.gif

Edited to add: Bad news... sad.gif my brother sms me this morning tell me that he lost his sony erricson handphone which have camera, someone stole it...damn... mad.gif vmad.gif some of his friends also lost their handphone, his roommate lost his handphone yesterday too...wow...UTM Skudai very unsafe wor... sweat.gif he already brought new handphone but no camera one, so the conclusion is: I can't take photo to show you guys my C532 liao... cry.gif

Well, not really.Last time, i used a 12cm Delta fan and the sound just made me crazy.So i decided to do a switching whereby my rear 12cm Thermaltake Smart LED fan is taken to the front while my Delta went to the back.The result is similar.Same amount of noise generated..

My 8cm fan at the HDD bay is still the original CM fan but i was planning to switch over to the Silverstone and take off that noisy 12cm fan.Thats why i am wondering would the air intake be enough on a single 8cm fan even if its a Silverstone and would the noise be bearable?

1 last thing, if i am using a fan controller, where should i put it?cause i have a TT fan controller but its optimize for rear usage (uses a PCI back metal slot).I cant switch it to the front...
*
The Silverstone 80mm fan also use 3 1/2 inch fan controller right, which can be place in the floppy drive bay there...unless you already mount your floppy bay with floppy drive... the CM fan is too low in cfm...even my C532 with 120mm CM fan got too little intake, make my hdd stay in high temp at around 35C (lowest) to 41C (currently highest)... sweat.gif will change to other 120mm fan, and currently still doing research...maybe will switch my hdd to 5 1/4 bay there...maybe will put a 120mm at 5 1/4 bay there to cool down the hdd too... icon_rolleyes.gif

lol..Nope, i do not have a floppy there.But i do have the CM Real Power Wattage Meter there that comes together with the CM Real Power PSU.I thought of mounting it on the inside of the C5 casing instead of it being outsite though..The problem with me now is that i dont believe a single 8cm fan (even it being a Silverstone) is enough as the sole front air intake unless someone prove me wrong..

The only thing i can do now is mounting another 12cm fan (being 12cm + 8cm) on the 5.25" bay as another intake but that is making hell lot of noise due to the blockage of intake (alot of metal plate and sponge thing there).Thats driving me almost crazy...Or should i do any modification to the C5 to fit a 12cm fan as intake around the HDD area?Currently, i only have 8cm(front intake) + 12cm(rear) as the air flow control only.No upper or side fan...Is that enough on the C5?

Maybe you can MOD the intake there to put a 120mm fan... brows.gif and then move your hdd to 5 1/4 bay there, then have good enough intake liao... icon_rolleyes.gif


Edited to add: As for the fan controller, maybe you can MOD your 5 1/4 bay there to fit it in...btw, the silverstone fan controller really not that flexible, it couldn't fit well in my C532 as it is not long enough, so I have to screw it inside and leave it a big big whole there:

What I notice from my Centurion 532 is, there will be a layer of dust at the mesh of the front cover too in only 2 to 3 days... sweat.gif I need to clean it when I saw the layer of dust build up... as I am running FM-121 to exhaust at full speed, there are a lot air being suck into the case, so build up dust really fast... but the filter come with the mesh there really do their job to prevent dust to get into my casing even thought have little bit which it come in from my floppy bay there as my FM-121 controller does not fit well with the casing... sweat.gif

yeah, me too..
and also the dust trapped at the dust filter in the 5.25" bay because i placed a CM LED fan there..
so, there's 2x120mm intake fan..
need to clean and wash the dust filter every week..  sweat.gif

-adios-

I have plan to put a fan at 5.25" bay there too... Haven put already have dust there...if put, then more dust will be there...

QUOTE(akachester @ Apr 7 2007, 09:07 AM)
I do agree that happens on my C5 as well.Not only at the 5.25" bay where i put a 12cm fan, but at the 8cm fan located at my HDD area as well..There will be a thin layer of dust at the front plate after a few days.But if you take out the front panel, you will see more dust that is trapped there that prevent you from cleaning it if you no take it out..
*
Ya, even with the help of the filter come with the casing, I do found my hdd got a bit dust too... sweat.gif

When i was using CM530 way back ... last year i guess ,,

i always wipe the front panel surface everyday to reduce the amount of dusk stuck inside the filter .. .

i can avoid cleaning the filter every week by doing that ... .
*
I use my hand to clean up the front panel surface too, lazy to use cloth to wipe... tonight I will do major cleaning for my rig... so will reinstall the Noctua NH-U12F too...and some cable management ... hopefully will improve the air flow a bit...

will get another 2 Noctua fan as my intake after irangan confirm the price from Noctua... drool.gif
