the Fractal Design Define R3 also has good airflow, that actually looks pretty classy and not like a slapped arse compared to the HAF

You keep dragging this thread off topic lol. The HAF cases are clunky and such, but they aren't THAT bad. They have far superior air flow and they are functional. I think that's all he cares about.

I don't think he wants to buy a new case with lesser airflow just to be classier. He wants performance, as he's said.

Oh and the Sentry fan controllers are great. I have two sentry 2's, and use one in both of my main rigs for my case fans.

I have heard the Sentry's are great but idk if they will work with the HAF X fans, the connectors on these have slots for 3 pins but only 2 pins are actually in them??

The two pin fans should work with the sentry controller just fine. The controller modifies the voltage supplied to the fan thus slowing it or speeding it up, whereas without a controller they just go off and on, unless you have a resistor.

Guess I'll give it a shot

currently trying to get the i/o panel on my HAF X off though :s

TBH, if you wanna screw on saving money, you could buy LordJummy's card

Darkleoco · Sep 21, 2011

In about 30 minutes I'll be ordering my Twin Frozr's

Edit: Had my nerves wracked by a problem with 2010 HAF X's and now slightly worried about one of the wires on my i/o panel after taking a look at it but things should be fine I hope

The only reason that card is priced higher than most is that it's a proven unlocked beast of a OC'er. It's pure champion stuff for sure.

I would recommend going with the twin frozr's though in all honesty

Darkleoco · Sep 21, 2011

Still waiting on ordering the cards >.<

Edit: and to get added to the coolermaster forums to ask about that wire

LordJummy · Sep 21, 2011

The fan controller will work fine with those fans. That's the whole point of the fan controller really. It allows you to control fans that you otherwise could not by varying voltage supplied to said fans.

I think that 6950 CFX was really the best choice for you.... Congratz!

I think 6950 in crossfire is THE setup to beat right now.

Darkleoco · Sep 22, 2011
