He won't regret after he find a balance in setup...

if u ask me, the greatest advantage of A10 would be it's look...

It looks strong and stand firm on the ground ...

I would say it's a better case to mod for water cooling .... rather than air cooling ...

hahah .. just take ur time to find the best configuration men ..

anyway just a teaser of my EX ...

I used 4 pins extension last time to connect to my mobo ...

Not sure if there is any 8 pins extension cable available ....

Anyway the AC fan is thicker than standard case fan .. so it would definitely causes difficulty of installing tower cooler ...

btw .. which cooler are u using now .. ????

btw forget to mention.. actually it would be better to have single direction configuration ...

I did put on the exhaust fan as well but there's no performance increases .. it only causes more noise ... so removed it in the end ...

hehe ..I was using it and I'm gonna use the AC freezer pro again ...

Waiting it to comes to my door step with few other goodies ...

hmm why looks so familiar ... did I saw it before

Come come .. faster assemble something into it .....

Back to air cooling .....

and got some new hardwares

Hope no one spot the difference ....





Comment & Critique are welcomed

Simplicity is my one ground rule ... for cable management mah ...

Besides with the cold weather here, those AC goodies are able to keep my system cool and quiet ... quieter than using water cooling ....

hahahahhaa,,,

hehe .. it is HIS 3870 ... removing the cooler ??

One reason, cool & quiet ..

Default Cooler: 47c-64c | AC Accelero S1: 36c- 51c ....

yah.. I don't have any fan attached to it but I do have a fan at the rom slot to blow air through the entire graphic card and south bridge ...

It is sufficient enough to cool the card ..... I also can't believe it ...

It works like charm .. the best part is the load temperature goes down quick ...

hahah ... electronic heater doesn't produced noise but some times got sound of metal clicking...

heheh ... it's really a very quiet system now, I could only hear the noise of my keyboard typing and crowd on the street outside of my closed window ..

no more hoosh and humming from the case ... btw I removed the fan for HDD cage ... coz that's the major noise generator apart from radiator ...

If I move the sound card to top PCI slot I could install another 3870 with stock cooler loh ...

About RM800 if not mistaken ,,, anyone that went to ATE recently got back with price list could provide handful information ..

@Lexus65

You are going for CF 3870

Accelero S1 is really a good performer for its price just like Freezer Pro series as well .....

I read over and over review of this cooler before choosing it over TR HR-03 Plus ....

It looks a bit more sexier with it's curvy shape and light weight ...

HR-03 is really massive but sexy with it's heat pipe

@akachester

Thanks for the compliment, I do think there's still room of improvement ...

will do it when got financial replenishment in the future ....

I'm using OCZ Reaper DDR 2-6400 4-3-4 1GB X 2 ..... u could get it at much cheaper price from sHawTY bulk order ...

The graphic cooler is AC Accelero S1 .. u could order it from Bata ...

@Lexus65 ..

Thanks for the compliment on the Asus Commando..

This is the best mobo with it's color combination, fan header placement and sata connection location.

I can't find any mobo that is close to it ... not even those Asus new released mobo ...

The OCZ ReaperX Ram looks awesomely sexy in the rig ... and it's really so cool .. way better than my Kingston HyperX...

btw.. the PCI Slot is additional one come with AC Accelero S1...

I hope could get more of it ..to replace the rest of the PCI bracket as well ..

hehehe .. that's my dream case since I first fallen in love with Lian Li ...

But due to it's extra length and lack of space at the room that I stayed ..

Else this babe would be with me for at least 2 years ...

@akachester
It definitely got its luring point, else I won't be crazy about it last time ..

haah ... no worry A10 works well and look lovely also ...

A10 is the gentlemen alike case while V series are sexy lady alike..

Probably that's because E2140 is a really low energy consumption processor mah ...

hmm .. I wonder your temperature would get any better with Freezer Pro or not .. since ur idle temperature consider very low ..

I suspect that the top blow hole actually is for PSU setup that having fan facing the top blow hole to breath cool air ...

this way it helps to keep the PSU to be cooler but more dust would get accumulated eventually ..

Probably the HDD cage is easy removable type like A10 .. just remove the cage and than take out the HDDs. ...

@akachester

hahah I really wanted to mod A10 to BTX loh ..

but too bad ..... I can't offer you any service ... hahahaha
