Deal Of The Day For Computer Guys
#44
I've got three intake fans, two exhaust fans (1 rear-facing, one top blowhole).

All are 80mm fans, about 40-50 CFM each. *scratches head* I don't run them on a fan controller anymore (I had a Zalman 6-port, it was nice but a pain, too). Not sure what to suggest. I wish I had a thermometer so I could show you that the room is like 18-20C.

It's all about the airflow, no matter who made the case or how many fans you have overall. As long as you're drawing in room-temperature air and exhausting hot air, you're golden.

The only other thing that nominally helps is the Nikao 520W PSU with two 80mm fans on a single built-in rheostat - one intake facing the case contents (down-facing) and one exhaust at the standard rear PSU fan position. It pushes a decent amount of air as well.

Click below for a good side shot. The sheathed cables are the only other thing I can think of that would be (obviously) conducive to a good amount of airflow in the case.

Make sure all your fans are actually turning at a good clip and not running on 5V like some bargain manufacturers do when they wire the Molex connectors :rolleyes:
