What I mean is I'm worried whether the thing (5.25" drive bay fan mount) can be installed properly in a Centurion 5. Anyone care to share their experience or opinion? ^^
Also is there any other brands/models to recommend? Big thanks in advance.  This post has been edited by teohhanhui: Feb 28 2009, 06:09 PM |

Thanks!! That's the answer I need.
 (Obviously I wasn't looking hard enough...  )Tom's Hardware Forum: QUOTE(kazzi1) You can place a 80mm fan on the side where the duct is and a 92mm fan under it. The 92mm blows air straight onto your video card. If you really want to place a 120mm fan in the 5.25 drive bays (why are fans in metric but drive bays in imperial?) you'll need to plan a little in advance. Place your optical drive(s) in the lowest bays and leave the top and lowest unused drive bay interal cover (the steal ones) in place. You can then put your 120mm in and hold it in place with the steal plates. The plates are firmly attached and will hold it comfortably. Hope that helps. Right now my CPU (Pentium D 830) will get overheated and turn itself off after full load for a while. Have an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro but I guess the case's air ventilation at stock is just not good enough...  I still don't quite get where to screw the fan to... Where's the metal plate behind the unused drive bay? There's only the drive cage? This post has been edited by teohhanhui: Mar 1 2009, 10:52 PM |
