u have an 8800 with a CM Extreme Power 430W???

get the PSU first man...seriously

Err... I do not mean to choose Lian Li model.

what I mean here is either I upgrade my mobo first or my casing first or my PSU first. Hope you don't get wrong and ask me quote a budget.

anyone have any idea when will this casing is gonna be availalbe?

Lian Li PC-A09B [Product Link]







haiya, u asking which one to upgrade in the Casing & Modification section, of course i assume u gonna change ur casing...

this type of question need to ask in the Hardware Questions & Answers section...

by the way, changing casing is not an upgrade it's changing not upgrading

come back later when u decided to change ur casing

I decide to change as per my sigg edi Just curios should change casing first or not mah

easy to decide that one la

your needs comes first, not what you want

"utamakan keselamatan keperluan daripada kehendak"

in your situation, you really NEED to change ur psu, later can change ur casing

can you guarantee play all games with that psu of yours to power up your 8800 without facing problems later?
nope, rite... so that's your NEEDS rite now, change psu

nuff said

yeah i second that....u shud change ur PSU first....
CM 430w to feed ur 8800GTS?

after that, its time for LIAN LI!

Hmm.. I don't think any problem wor... Since I'm running in less componet. I want My LIAN LI!!!!!!

hehe get urself a odin first lar........btw cm extreme power might not able to give stable power under heavy loading conditions as it ages.......

lian li can wait, i believe it will be even more beautiful after u have a long long lust and desire for a LL

I just got my BS-03 delivered.... swapped the fan with S-flex = Totally useless

No temp reduction at all.

When u come back for Xmas or new year, bring it back with u. I want it.

I just changed the BS-03 back to the stock Lian Li fan which spins at 1500rpm vs the S-flex at 1200rpm.

Now the temps better a bit... which is still on the toasty side.

Come to think of it... all those time that I said that aluminum casings doesn't help with cooling.. I take it all back!!!!

The A05's panels are warmer unlike any other case I've used

Room temperature @ 32C
Front panel dead center @ 42C
Both side panel dead center @ 37C
PCI slot cover @ 42C
Top panel @ 37C

Front exhaust air temperature @ 42C

yo bro @sniper on the roof

you set the fan to intake or exhaust ???

Tried both ways...

Update:

Removing the front panel = 10C drop in vga temps + 8C drop in cpu temps!!!

10C & 8C drop

huh, usually happens when we remove the side panel of a terrible air flow chassis...

but this A05 is different, the front panel

clearly something wrong with that heat exhaust fan, i mean a lot of temp drop by removing it, don't u agree?

The S Flex is higher CFM kar? Too much turbulence in that tiny space mebe. But yeah I was always of the opinion that alu cases do help reduce temps. My TJ07, the top corner at the rear is burning hot with those 2 gfx cards there. I cant imagine if it was SECC.

well open front panel reduce temp dramatically do indicate lack of cold air intake............ it seesm u need to find a way to get more cold air into ur casing..........

i think it's more lacking on the exhaust fan - fail to exhaust the heat

why? look at the CPU temp - drop 8C! --> lack of intake??? the cooler is the first component to get the fresh air

hmm .. that's the thing when using BS-03 .. it just ain't that good and effective ...

I prefer BS-02 with side blow hole coz it could bring in cool air directly to the gc and let the gc to do the hot air exhaust ...

Actually don't need high CFM fan over gc zone ... just push around 40 cfm will do very well already.

As for the rear intake it's a must since the cool air brought in by the rear fan can cool off CPU and mobo area + ram as well ...

but make sure it isn't too high CFM fan as well as it would drags the hot air exhaust by the gc as well ....

CFM is not the issue here.... its a issue of static pressure. Faster rpm needed to push air in and out of restrictive environment. Wife will be away for the next days so will have time to do some tiny tweaks here and there.

The temps inside the case is too hot to begin with... lots of back pressure as I can feel air coming out of every free hold in the case.

The Tcase (air temps inside the case) is 42C which is 10C higher than room temps. In my old "Akasa".. the ambient vs tcase is almost equal.

BS-02 is better of course but it needs a side panel hole which I'm reluctant to sacrifice.
Tonight...I'm gonna chop the BS-03 fan

hahah will chopping it helps without the side blow hole ???

I understand that scarifying the box look for a sake of 5c of temperature drop is too much ...

probably u could cut the top part of the case for fresh air ... it would looks better with radiator grill selling by uglyvamp ... I'm getting the dual rad grill for finishing touch in future case mod...
