I got an evercool 80mm intake, doesn't move much air, but it as free, and better than my Vantec Tornado that everyone in my family hates now that it's not behind my closed doors and out in the open in the living room in dad's comp

you hae an Evercool aluminum fan, or one of their plastic ones?

The aluminum fans move quite a bit of air compared to their plastic counterparts, but they are a bit noisy

Evercool makes fans that the casing is made of aluminum, both in LED and non-LED varieties:



the fan itself is still plastic, although painted metallic to match (I couldn't imagine the lawsuits if the fan blades were metal :rolleyes:)

they look really great, especially if you polish everything up

yeah, they are odd, but are pretty as hell, though, and look great with the LEDs. They also give you damn near twice as long of a power lead than other fans do. Here's a pic where you can see the one at the rear of my case (not lit up, though):




excellent price, too

This was how I had tried for a while




Homemade air duck:confused:


Closeup of the Kaza on the Bliss+, and all the extras:twitch:



And this was when I had the 2 Turbine's up top pulling in, and a Kaza forcing down



And that's when the stock Tt92 was in back, now have the 120 Turbine there



And here's a freebie 12k rpm server 40mm fan I tied on the N/B H/S !!!
Set to undervolt to 7500 till 50c PWM temps thru uGuru



I'll work on the wiring issue ASAP since I now have the fan's sorted as to where they seem to be best .
FWIW, the only rear spot is exhaust, so bacically I have an "overpressure" when the Kaza's are maxed to 3k, and also have the front 80mm harddrive fan reversed to pull the hot air out front.

hey man whatcha hitting on 3dmark06 on just the vid cards crossfired?

currently, the best score I've been able to manage in 3m06 is 6471marks. But, I attribute that low score 100% to this aging Pentium 4HT, even with the ridiculous OC. Single card setup, I had to clock the CPU to 4.14GHz just to hit 4693.

I'll be ordering a Q6600 in the near future(couple of weeks), as well as another motherboard and new mem for that setup, and I intend to run the 2 1950 PROs until I can afford a 3870x2 - but, I'm very curious to see what kind of score the 1950 will pull in single and crossfire when coupled with a quad core.

Me TOO!!!!, but it's hardly ever turning:cool::rockout:
Only slightly warm air comes out, and not even near what I get from the stock exhaust, and it's even not that warm :D
