There's a few ideas that I want to test out first. Don't want to touch all visible panels

Some of the trouble spots identified are:

1) Main issue with A05 is the backpressure. With the exception of the rear intake. Everything else is restrictive
2) Using a tower heatsink may be good for cpu cooling but it restricts airflow quite badly
3) Front bezel terribly restrictive for the main exhaust fan especially when HDD bays are fully populated.

Hmmm ... basically using tower heatsink really restrictive quite amount of air which is pretty much one of the reason I went for Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro ...

It's smaller size really is appreciatable of reducing airflow of rear case fan ... it works like charm with my Noctua fans ... I could feel all the air passing by the cooler and across other motherboard component.

As for the HDD cage, it's a known issue whenever two or three HDDs is used ... a strong fan would be needed to push enough air through the vent across the front panel which results noice generation. So I applied akasa maxpate to absorb the noise and it really works well ...

You whack paxmate behind the front panel issit?

Yah .. it does reduces the noise by quite some ... I could notice the immediate difference between and after ....

my humble el-cheapo rig

edit. sorry ianho, didnt realize it was that big. seemed small on this 30" monitor ><

fuiyoh, bro u went hardcore now, 3x12cm rad is not humble at all!

my v1000 is still original. no mod yet .

@ataris
Any photo to show ur rig ???

@DaRkSyThE
Really humble rig ... tripple rig to cool off a CPU only ...
or u plan to add on gc and water block as we..

can i know the first page first casing..but model is that?

There's the famous Lian Li V1200B Plus II ...

I once had the shorter case V1000 ...

It's really a nice case ....

i want that casing..how much for new unit?where can buy?

I changed the front exhaust to a slightly faster Yate Loon and add the paxmate like you suggested.

You're right. It works more towards slowing down the air.

can get from ATE in LYP....the price is around +/- RM1k if im not mistaken.

@sniper on the roof
So does it works well to cool off the Hdds without too much noise ....

?ATE?which shop?full name please

It's RM900 bro .... and the shop name is [Advanced Technology] ..

Be aware that the V1200 doesn't come with the window u c in my pix ya. After u pay rm900, go home, take the case out of the box n voila! A V1200 without side window then u'll be jumping up n down thinking u got conned by ATE. The V1200 comes with solid side panels. It doesnt come with a side window n there is no option for it either.

well u can always ask brother ianho here to mod a side window for u

btw guys where can i download the pricelist from ATE cos i cant find it in here or in hardwarezone website?

sniper on the roof, may i know wher you get the thing like filter that install at your front panel there ???

the thing on the front panel is not a filter... its a sound dampener.

brand is Akasa model is Paxmate... aka Akasa Paxmate.

n u ask sniper on the roof oso no point ler... hes in taiwan

here i dunno where can get liao... mebbe rlhh might have some extra stocks left.
