624773 2007-12-27 08:56:00 those are 90mm fans?
is that one of those idiot cases that you can mount different sized fans in the same location, so if you use a smaller fan that just blows air out of the case and sucks it straight back in only to blow it back out ??

check the air speed of the PSU. if its the same as the 120mm fans then you can fit a side fan as well as front fan without a problem.

624774 2007-12-27 09:09:00 It can only take 120mm front and rear 90mm side but i have made it to a 120mm and the top i have installed the a. c. ryan 3x 120mm fan grill with filters so if i ever install watercooling i can. The fan on the psu is a Silent 14cm ball-bearing fan SPEED: 1900 RPM (±10%) AIR FLOW: 82 CFM 16dB at 1300RPM.

90mm fans are on my cpu cooler.

624775 2007-12-27 09:15:00 With your current temps i don't think you would ever need to consider more fans. If you upgrade to a P4 maybe you can put another fan in it.... but other then that just enjoy :) noone (22)

sounds like the 90 on the side might have been ok.

unfortunately the 3x fan grill is not a good thing unless your actually using it. if possible install the standard top back on or block those vents off.

most people seam to think your temps are good, i don't. its been fairly cool lately and your temps are a bit high for such cool weather. you can probably put that down to those 90mm fans shortcutting through the vents. the 120's should fix that.

if at all possible i would have 2x fans in front of those harddrives or even a funnel to force the air over all those HD's.

624778 2007-12-27 21:45:00 Can only have 1 120mm front fan. CPU temp stanys at 50c just about all the time. I live in Rangiora just out of Christchurch We have had sum 30c sunny hot days here and the cpu didnt get over 60c stayed in the 50c's.

This is a image of the case cooling. my system is not in it yet the temps are off the case my system is in at the moment running 80mm fans.

The top of case the 3 120mm holes i could easyly install a sheet of 15%tinted Arylic i have here to block the fan holes from the inside and still have the grill on the outside.

Upgrade: The cpu cooler has the 2x90mm fans on it.
