Nice amouint of airflow, how did it affect your temps?

I have 8 fans in mine if you count the fan on the V8, i think i could fit 10 in if i swapped out the big ass 200mm's. The only problem i have with that much airflow is all the damn dust

He went from a Corsair H-50, and temps dropped about 3-4 degrees. It idles at about 34*C and full load rarely go higher than 55*C. It was a nice upgrade.

If dust is a problem, make sure you have more fans (or more specifically, more CFM) for intake compared to exhaust. Then put filters on your intake fans. Some sacrifice on temps, but the dust issue would be addressed.

@JATownes: Add another fan to the NH-D14?

Nice that's a good little boost in cooling

I do have a lot more CFM on intake, i have 2x 120mm hi-CFM side intake + 1x 200mm front intake (with filter) then i have 2x low CFM exhaust + 1x 200mm top exhaust. I can;t get dust filters here

i was thinking about ordering some from the states, but the shipping is pretty expensive. I have tried tights (the wifes) as filters, but they just get clogged up and blown off by the high CFM fans.
There is some metal mesh on one of the windows at the place i work, i am thinkiing about grabbing a pair of scissors and then cutting me off a nice square portion

roy cline · Jun 12, 2011

We installed 10 fans total:
Intake: Front 2, 3 on Side door, Behind CPU
Exhaust: Top 2, Rear, 1 on Side Door

We wanted to add another to the Noctua, but the RAM sinks are to tall. :banghead:

Try what I did. I've just replaced my filters last week with a "new batch." The old ones lasted more than 2 months before turning dark grey. I'm sure you've read about it in my post in the Ghetto mods.

Ha ha, i do remember that post. Yea, i can't get hold of that either and i don't feel like bastardising my current air-con all for my PC :toast:

Looking pretty good man. Where in Texas are yall from? From Houston myself. Too bad you're not from the east end; we have some big lan party style events coming up here in the H-Town this summer.

streetfighter 2 · Jun 12, 2011

You're using foam on the door to dampen vibrations? (Oh I see it's stock. Word.

)

Do the cold-cathodes add horsepower?

Also, very impressive wire management on both rigs.

roy cline · Jun 12, 2011

Cold cathodes are like chrome on a bumper..it always makes your stuff faster

Seminole Tx is where i live and my brother in-law Jason (JATownes) is in Midland Tx.

I've been thinking about hitting a lan in Dallas next month ..

Houston is'nt that far away I could always use a vacation. If you want to give me some details i would appreciate it.

Thanks for the compliments..much respect to TPU and its band of misfits for keeping the computer world on its toes. My hats off to ya!

That's a decent drive out to Dallas. Maybe I can take a little time off and head out to that one, it sounds fun. I've been thinking about hosting a LAN/BBQ party this summer at a local community center here. I will definitely PM you this evening and send you some info.

Take it easy!
