bro my suggestion is to remove those spoilers...you need to show off your build...no need to hide it. After all its a worklog thread

QUOTE(usop8290 @ Feb 5 2013, 10:36 PM) Its time for update..its been a month already since the last update.. just sharing info I came across with...so far i already assemble the hardware..however something happened, my bitfenix recon fc just burned..going to RMA it soon..not just that, one of my ram slot also died..bad luck maybe Progress on the side panel...finally ive decided to cut the side panel using laser cut..cutting the side panel using rotary tool is not a easy job..hard to get a clean cut..i manage to find local steel fabricator company in serdang which provide laser cut service..here it goes ![]() ![]() Also bought 2 piece of acrylic panel with thickness of 2mm for the window from local manufacture.. ![]() ![]() Stay tune for more update QUOTE Here is my views on fan controllers. The vast majority of them use undervolting to slow down your fans. By undervolting I mean that the controller will just waste away the voltage to control your fan. For example, pretty much all PC fans run on12v. So if you have a 2000 rpm fan you want to slow down to 25% speed (500 rpm) the controller will reduce the voltage from 12v down to 3v (25% of 12v). But to do so, the controller will simply burn away 9v of electricity and turn that 9v into heat. So most fan controllers produce a lot of heat, some can even be fitted with water blocks to cool them down. Such is the case of the Aquaero. But water or air, they all require heatsinks to be kept cool. That heat, where do you think it's going? -Yup, you got it, that fan controller is helping to keep your case nice and toasty!! And here is the kicker: the more you slow down your fans, the harder your controller works, and the more heat it produces because it has to burn away more voltage. Also be aware of claimed wattage per channel on these undervolting controllers. Some guys will plug a bunch of fans on a channel, crank it up to full speed and say "Yup, that channel lives up to it's claims". But if that guy tried to turn down the speed of these fans, the controller would smoke up and burn. There is only one brand on the market that does not use undervolting to control your fans. It's the Lamptron brand. Instead, Lamptron uses power modulation which produces no heat and wastes no voltage. I bought the Lamptron Touch because I like that it has clean sober lines and a touch screen. Thought, that touch screen could be improves it's still a great controller. Will control 34+ fans with it while producing virtually no heat. Name me an other controller out there that can do that? Also, because it's power modulation, I can slow down my AP-45 fans from 2150 rpm down to about 200 rpm. That's less than 10% speed. Name me an other that can do that?

QUOTE(hmwgbworld @ Feb 6 2013, 02:56 AM) no doubt lamptron makes excellent fan controller but I can't be sure of other brands though. Sometimes heard good things & sometimes not so...but so far never hear any complains on lamptron fan controller though no problem QUOTE(usop8290 @ Feb 6 2013, 07:09 AM) nice one bro..never thought of that..by the way, bitfenix recon only features 10watt per channel, but at the packaging they state as 30watt per channel...that really sucks.. yup I heard the same thing, some were confused by this but its confirmed only 10w per channel. Well at least there is 5 channels haha, lamptron only got 4.I was so close to get recon few days ago but changed my mind...will be getting lamptron soon. Waiting for apes to reply my email |
