Slick stuff peet! Too bad that cooler clearance is so tight... Though a Shuriken would fit fine I guess.

Well I ran an E6600 in there and temps were 3*C different at idle compared to that same chip in open air. Also note I had to use the short stack stock cooler for it, so that could explain a bit of the heat. IMHO still acceptable, plus the board will handle 45nm Quads so if it was to get too hot this summer, I could always try something new

Yeah I do think tho that an Atom or low voltage AMD the coolers may have a bit more room.

. Anyhow i doubt either would be bad considering the "pull power" of those 3 fans at the top...Heres my case fan placement: ![]() I did some testing, a few days ago. Everything was left as i it is, except for the yellowed out fan. At first i tried placing my last 120mm fan at the bottom (placement no.1) did my testing, left my PC too cooldown for 10 minutes, and then moved my fan from no.1 to no.2 position and did my test. Test consisted of running Orthos (blend test) and FurMark (stability test, 640x480,fullscreen off) for 6 minutes and then took the screenshot. Heres what i got. ![]() BTW my CPU runs at 3.62Ghz@1.36V, and VGA is slightly OC'd to 675Mhz (still didn't do a voltmod ) and my CPU fan ran at 800rpm...

thanks for the testing miloshs. Yeah I notice that fans on the bottom really dont do much, but fans up front help in keeping things cool a lot!

When put up aginst CM690 case bottom fan is rubbish
,no need in having one at all. It just messes up the airflow coming from lower-front fan...

With hard drives installed, the front fan of the CM RC-690, does absolutely nothing for case intake and airflow.. It's blocked by the hard drive cage and drives..

I you have 3-4 hard drives, yes! But otherwise, no!
The bottom fan absolutely hasn't got enough clearance from the ground to make it effective enough. My opinion, anyhow... I have all the cages installed (altho not populated by drives) and its still making a difference. I agree that adding 2 more drives would reduce its effectivness... but it should still do well with two HDD's is there. Anyhow... im off to bed.. GN all

Good testing miloshs, mobo temp went down 4°C, not bad @ all. I run 1 fan in rear, 1 on bottom, 2 in the 5.25" area(upper case 1/2 is a wind tunnel
). Also a 120mm fan in the PSU and on CPU.I took out the HDD cage and my current single HDD is above the DVD Burner. Honestly, w/ how much air our fans push, we could flip our case to another end and I bet get temps within 3°C of normal. My bottom fan is week, maybe because of the bearing, and/or that's the one grill I didn't cut out. I might secure the bottom fan standing up vertically, either way it still helps GPU temps. Sometime I'm going to buy the 4-in-3 fan module, a different 3.5-5.25" adapter, and/or fab my own HDD-fan module. |

Just dremel it, or if it's riveted on, just drill out the rivets.

Unless you want tiny pieces of metal potentially shortcutting stuff, I'd take the mobo out.
