I duno whether my post is related to this thread or not, since it says "fans thread" so I think is related la, ahhahah...  smile.gif

The 1st one is my selfmodded so called fan card, copy the idea from Ventec Fan Card de...  biggrin.gif

Then 2nd one is the "proc heatsink" for a sound card, only Audigy value la, wahhaha, coz bought the Coolermaster Ice Pro wrongly, no where to throw, then just "mod" it onto the card lo.. WHhaha!  tongue.gif

ohmy.gif even sound card also have HSF on it... laugh.gif

Now that's an appreciation.

Well bro, if you want noctua fans, you can't find it anywhere else except from irangan.

He's the only one guy that bulk that brand here. thumbup.gif

but irangan say he will not bring in that fan alone due the the price is high... if a lot people want it and can accept the price...I think irangan will consider to bring in...maybe... brows.gif

So, the way that i would know would be changing the position and check the temperature?I will change it to exhaust and see as my current LL front and rear isnt performing up to expectation.Silent but bad preasure...Need to change the front to Noctua and rear to SS..
*
huhu...2 Noctua as front intake? brows.gif coz see you wanna order 2 Noctua fan at irangan bulk there... me too wanna get 2 Noctua fan as intake...already have Silverstone FM-121 at rear...wanna see how much it can help for my case air flow... drool.gif

Nah, not really.Might keep it when i needed another front intake or maybe convert it to a side intake if i am going to get myself a side panel for LL. For now, i am planning to get a Noctua as front intake and a SS FM121 as the rear. Already have the SS FM82 as top exhaust. But i am surely running those SS fan at merely half of their speed as its really too noisy to my liking.Hopefully even at half speed, its still able to provide me a good cooling solution and air flow...
*
at half speed (1200rpm) you will hardly heard any sound from it... but the air flow is not that great... from my testing just now... the noise level for 1200rpm and 1600rpm is not much different but the air flow will be a bit bigger for 1600rpm...so you can try play around at that level... not necessary to run it at half speed as I notice the temp will higher 1-3C in my case if I turn it to 1200rpm...which is not so good for my Pentium D...maybe during cold weather can turn it to half speed or even below 1000rpm... maybe for your casing will be different from mine lor coz you are using LL casing now... and you have FM82 as top exhaust...I only have FM-121 as rear exhaust... icon_rolleyes.gif

Ok, guys..

As recommended, i did change the top fan (FM82) in my case from intake to exhaust just now.After about 1 hour+ in a closed room (door closed, only a single window is opened), i am starting to sweat.lol...Then, when i checked with PC Wizard regarding the temperature, it has risen to a crazy 53c on idle. As far as i could remember from my C5 days, it will barely touch the 50c mark..

Then, i changed back to intake and currently, the temperature is about 45c. What might be the problem here?

I tried to experiment myself regarding this problem and found out a few possibilty.

Could this be the problem of using those silent but poor LL case fan as front intake and exhaust causing the air intake to be poor?I mean, those fan are really really poor.I could barely feel the air when i put my hands near those fans..

And not to mention, the LL case came together with fan filters. Would these filters be blocking the air flow of the case?

Now, i guess i desperately need to get myself the SS and Noctua to get better airflow if the fans are the problems..
Ok.Thanks for the info there..I just realise about something here.When i changed the position of my FM82 from intake to exhaust, the noise level was actually lower even at full speed.When it was as an exhaust, the noise level was tolerable with me but when it was as an intake, man, its almost unbearable.Too noisy there..Thats why i was running it at 1/2 speed.In this case, if the FM121 wasnt that noisy, i could tolerate it running at full speed though...
*
I think the temp will drop to 45C when you put the FM82 as intake is because the cool air will directly go thru your Zalman CPU cooler there (in case the top blow hole is at the top of processor area there) and then exhaust thru the rear exhaust and PSU fan... when you put the FM82 as exhaust, the cool air from the front intake is not enough to cool down the whole case as it will pass thru hdd then go up, then will exhaust at rear exhasut, PSU fan and FM82, so the air flow is a bit messy inside your casing because your rear exhaust fan is not storng enough... icon_rolleyes.gif

If you change your rear fan to FM-121, and your front intake to Noctua fan, then the condtion maybe different a bit...coz the FM-121 will be strong enough to push out the hot air and the Noctua fan will bring enough cool air in too... thumbup.gif so, the hot air at the top near the PSU and cable there will be able to exhaust by the FM82... icon_rolleyes.gif

Anyway, this is just my opinion and estimation...I might be wrong...so please correct me if I am wrong so that I can learn too... me too still trying to make my rig cooler... icon_rolleyes.gif laugh.gif

Great idea here.I will definitely try this out when i get my hands on two good fans for my front intake and exhaust.I am still considering something more silent but pushes enough air as well..
Well, the fan filter mesh that came with my PC-7 have really tiny holes.I am not sure what other filter does LL have by mine as like an aluminium plate which has really small holes. And my best guess is that these tiny holes are somewhat blocking the airflow of my already poor LL fan.I am inclined to take out the filters as dust is a really big problem to me..Now, i need to search for a better fan as well as a better filter..
*
Yeah, try it out and post the result here to share... icon_rolleyes.gif

Change your filter to uglyvamps's filter too lor...I think this filter will be better than the LL aluminium filter as the air block by uglyvamps's filter is lesser than the aluminium filter... just my 2 cents... icon_rolleyes.gif

If you could PM me the links to uglyvamp's filter, that will be great as i cant seem to find them.Thanks..

Anyway, just wondering, do u use the fan controller of the FM121?If you do, where do u place the controller at?Is the cable long enough to connect the fan located in rear with the controller located at floopy bay?
*
hmm.gif I don't know where is the link too...read about it long long time ago...sorry can't help... notworthy.gif

Yes, I do use the fan controller...as per posted in other thread, I put it at the floopy bay there, stick it using double side tape as my casing floppy bay can't fit it well...the controller cable? very very long untill I need to tie it up and hide in somewhere...I think have around 100cm or more gua the cable...did not measure it before... should be no problem for your case de...with that long cable, you can play with it to meet your cable management requirement...as for the power cable of the FM-121, it is not that long like the controller cable, but also still have more than enough to connect from rear to front... icon_rolleyes.gif

Can always use fan controller mar. I want the 85CFM n the nice phat aluminum frame to suck out more heat from my HSF n hopefully get more OC out of it. I want to make my X2 go up to 3ghz on air in Aircond room hopefully.

Uncle ianho, don't want get Noctua fan? Now irangan is accepting order for it liao...RM65 each (excluding postage fee to your house)...last time saw you post somewhere say wanna get it... icon_rolleyes.gif laugh.gif

Dowan d coz I prefer aluminum fans. Looking for this Evercool damn long time n finally got it.
No LEDs. But it's pretty nice. the frame is natural silver alu n the fan blade is in chrome. I will modify the fans b4 putting them on. Mod what? Look at the King Kong II worklog later.  brows.gif  brows.gif

ok. I will check the King Kong II worklog to see how is the performance when you have time to mod it... icon_rolleyes.gif

Can we see the performance from his tread .. ???

i thought we need to ask him in person ?? or at least able to see it in person..

What I mean is, when he finally mod it into the case, he might give some information about the fan performance in his worklog... of course can see it in person will be better but that is not possible for me as I am living in Sungai Mati, Muar, Johor here... laugh.gif

It should be the value pack if not mistaken ...

hmm 40 cfm is pretty enough for most of the PC without too much of over clocking ..

at that price it's really a bargain ..

just buy and sell it to others separately .. hhaha

hmm...good idea...thanks for the suggestion... notworthy.gif might consider it...could be a good opportunity for me to earn some pocket money... icon_rolleyes.gif laugh.gif

hmm.. anyone can recommend a better place to put my case fans??
btw its an xps 420
*
the design of Dell PC since year 2006 is this type if I remember correctly...the air will be in from rear casing and exhaust thru the front of casing where the air flow will go thru the heatsink of proc...and it is meant for quite cooling solution, and it is btx style...to improve the cooling for this casing, you can put a casing fan to intake from the rear like what you have done (not sure you make it exhaust or intake at rear), remember to tie it if there is no screw hole...dun hang it there...

as for the fan u put besides the hdd there, I not sure there is any intake for the air to get in...if possible, try to make the fan to blow thru the hdd will be better for cooling the hdd...or make it above the hdd...you can try your own way and experiment with it, rather than asking us here coz we will not able to predict the result by seeing the photo alone...hope this help... icon_rolleyes.gif laugh.gif

got any idea how to fit my fan at the 5.25" bay?

you can also make a acrylic with a fan hole and screw to 5.25" bay...you can either DIY yourself or order from those great modder... icon_rolleyes.gif laugh.gif
