Chicken Patties New i7 Cooling Setup

Chicken Patty · May 9, 2009

part of the update, not done yet, still gotta hook up everything as far as fans and stuff. No more HDD cage and now dual intake fans, you'll see.

Chicken Patty · May 10, 2009

Ok here it is, update done:

Chicken Patty · May 10, 2009

The update consisted of the following.

Removed the HDD cage that was in the lower front of the case. THis way the front lower intake fan has better flow and flows direclty towards the bottom part (video cards) of the case.

Second, I utilized the HDD cages that have the 120mm fans attached already from the Antec 900 case. Those are the two LED fans now in the front of the cage. However I only used one cage which is at the top most part of the case with my HDD mounted. The other one I only used the fan. (pics coming soon so you understand)

So in reality, I think it looks much cleaner, much much better airflow, total of 3 front intake fans now, two exhaust, one up top, and the rear one.

I am going to work on getting something to cover up the area where the old HDD cage used to be although I did my best to hide the wires, something there to cover up will be nice

What do you guys think?

Cold Storm · May 10, 2009

Wow, CP, that's a sweet looking update! I really like how clean the hdd bay removal was for you. NOw, how much of a drop have you seen with the hdd removed?

Looking good, can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve with the hiding of wires... :rockout:

Thank you dude. I was thinking of getting like a aluminum plate the size of the hole behind where the HDD cage was in the bottom. Then putting something uv reactive on it, like maybe the intel logo, or i7 inside or something like that. Nothing too fancy, just something to go with it

As far as temps, I'll let you know in a bit, I haven't closed the side panel yet. I'll do that now and report back.

Cold Storm · May 10, 2009

ahh, aluminum plate. Home Depot sells some nice Aluminum sheets. I was quite surprised at the pricing. Pretty good on that aspect. I used some to hide the pump on my cosmos when I put it in the bottom hdd bay.

You can use side panels!!! Man, I can't wait to have my new case... then I can close my case! I don't have any side panels on the cosmos... the dang right side problem with the R1000...

Yes I have some side panels laying around buahahah

What problems are you having with your case that the panel doesn't close? Common problem?

Here is a pic of where the HDD is mounted, you can see it just behind the support bar that runs from front to back by the UV light. As you see i only used that cage, the bottom one I only utilized the fan out of it and having the whole Antec 900 HDD cage with fan would be useless

Cold Storm · May 10, 2009

That is nice looking. Very nice. :toast:

The org. Cosmos case has a flaw in the right side panel. when wiring to hide, or even just to be somewhat easier, you can't really have it go behind the case at all.. the locking won't happen to the side because of wires interfering with the "sound dampening" pad.

gracias gracias.

Well haha, my side panel the one behind the mobo is slightly bowed, but it locks! I have to apply some pressure and lock the bottom part. Once that happens I put the thumb screw and lock the top and put thumb screw. It takes practice, but no worries, I have it down pack!!! :laugh:

Cold Storm · May 10, 2009

lol.. Yeah, I can put the side panel on to.. takes a little force, but it "fits" right in!

I just really don't care with this case... lol.. the loudest fan is the five on the rad, at 37cfms... the others are i believe 35cfm... something like that.. lol

Do ya like????

Cold Storm · May 10, 2009

dude, what you do? Just Copy, Paste, clean up the paste, and post?!?!? :roll:

I do like the set up! very nice!

_jM · May 10, 2009

Much better with the cables.. alot cleaner.

See where part of the main 24pin is sticking inside the 5.25 bays? You should put it behind the 5.25 bays.. would help out a tad..

great update, man!
I believe, that removing the HDD cage does make a difference in air flow + it looks a lot more tidy! nice work! :respect:

the "AFTER" picture is just superb!

btw thanks for the pics of the whole case (outside view). I missed quite a few posts, cause my kid was ill over the last week, and had absolutely no spare time, after work... :ohwell:

hooj · May 10, 2009

nothing to do with cooling, but I had to remove my top video card for cleaning so while I was at it, I swapped them around and mounted them slots 1 and 2, instead of 1 and 3 like in the pictures a few posts back. Here is the result, looks better and now the little display on the mobo shows again. Its displays temps while in windows

Chicken Patty · May 10, 2009

This is why I had to take one of my video cards out for cleaning. Idling at 97ºc! :eek:
