Guys. i own a bitfenix phenom m but i have to idea how the bottom piece should be put on  should it be like this?but there is a bottom fan wouldnt it block the air flow? because I found out my rig is quite hot while gaming Intel xeon e3 1231 v3 idle: 50C gaming: 80C gpu asus gtx 760 idle : 41C gaming 68C

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Sep 28 2014, 01:54 AM) That means that you should remove the plastic shroud at the bottom since you're exhausting air from the bottom with that default bottom fan, it should yield better temps after that  for a better effect, I suggest that you have dual 120mm fans or a single 200mm fan exhausting from the bottom as well as dual 120mm fans at the top drawing air in Cool build! I can already picture the whole thing!! mind sharing more pictures? better yet please PM me so that we could make arrangements to post your build in BitFenix Malaysia FB page  thanks for the suggestion!

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ Sep 29 2014, 02:19 PM) No Problems  how are the temps now that you've made the adjustments? Both have the same internal layout, what happened?? Not too sure if it's because of the fan or not because I do not have any experience with the CMstorm Force 200mm.... what's the RPM of that fan? because the BitFenix Spectre Pro 200mm is only at max 900RPM... and another thing why stop at 200mm when the Prodigy fits 230mm  not that many manufacturers have that fan size though great,idle temp for cpu and gpu reduced by 10%
