Just get 690III, get extra Sickleflow X for top and bottom fans and call it the day.

i put sickleflow X on 3 pin to molex adapter and it spin hella fast - noisy.

using 690 III currently and only standard 120mm CM case fan. the very cheap one.

Looking for 140mm BC 140mm from CM also cannot find.

Cooler Master don't have 14cm fans.
Sickleflow X only 19dB, even at full speed. In some sense, it is quite good.
If you sit <50cm near to the fans, indeed it is noisy, but when > 50cm distance, it is quite good.

it has lol... 14cm fan. you go cooler master site and see

Even mastercase 5 pro feature 3 14cm fans. 12 cm fans is abit small i think.

I correct, they don't have high performance(in terms of high flow, low noise)14cm fans doh.gif
12cm fans are not that small anyway.

is 14cm better at moving move air than 12cm?

Here's the configuration in my casing currently

Rear is Jetflo

Top is 2 x CM 12cm standard fan

HDD cage with 1x CM 12cm stand fan , work as pull air from HDDs

Front is the Megaflow

There's a empty one at the bottom of the case, i haven't install fan yet

Have 2x Sickle Flow at bay. Put aside due to noise when it's running on molex power and not controlled by motheboard or Fan Controller.

Should i get a Fan Controller?

My Jetflo is quiet smile.gif

it's on adapter on it's on the motherboard fan pin.

Yea, i guess i don't want Fan Controllers anymore.

Maybe i will try Fan Splitter , like one 4 pin to many 3 pin ... is this control all fans at the same speed?

Yes, its is quiet. If i don't use the adapter on the Jetflo, it will be very loud.

the adapter exist for the purpose. why no point?

I am plannning on getting a spillter and use it to connect some sickle flow and connect them to the Chassis fan port on the motherboard ( i still have one left ).

And why this thread becomes a case fan thread when i am asking your opinions on which case you guys think it's best.

Using 690 III currently. Just having a though of changing to a newer casing only.. if you guys says go for it/ based on yours reviews and thoughts.

LOL

Yes it's a good case, however,

1. Just cleaning the front filter very problematic as i need to remove two side panel, and then only can remove the front panel.

2. The Bottom filter have a large gap in between the case and the filter. I am thinking the air have problem passing through efficiently and causing my psu fan to act up. ( a possibility )

1. I admit this is one of the problematic issue especially if your house is dusty.

2. My PSU have no problems with the bottom filter, and I only clean it once a month. Maybe it is you PSU that act up?
*
It's okay now, the psu. Master case 5 pro however meets some of my requirements

- removeable front filter without removing entire front panel.
- bottom filter seems larger and wider
- the legs seems taller = more air for the psu to breath?

on the plus side, there's psu compartment,
on the down side, hdd is now revealed, not much cable tie point like 690 III has,

still thinking whether should buy one though....

I clean my filters twice a week. A few days after i clean the front filter, dust already built up. psu's filter too.

I always bring to a motorbike shop and use the air blower to blow my casing clean.

I use paint brush, it cleans them nicely. I only bring the psu ( full modular ) and have stick to stop the fan and then blow at motorbike shop.

Air compressor that can do proper blow jobs you need at least 1HP, not to mention need to be check(donate) by DOSH every year for safety.

Those air-brush one should be sufficient enough right?

Blowing while brushing should do the job well.

well, I am not fond of Case 5 Pro, too funky me thinks. There are always cases that better than Case 5 Pro.
hmmm instead getting a Case 5 Pro, why not get yourself an air compressor? very convenient not just cleaning PC but others as well. smile.gif

Well, you can say that. I think i will wait and see any new case Cooler Master has to offer.
