Hi,
I am looking at ordering one of the U2-UFO's for my new water cooled rig build.
I am steering towards the U2-UFO 120.3 Black Powder Coated version.
Link here (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=138247)to my thread re water cooled components, however my question is in regard to air flow and air cooling within the case.
I will have a Thermochill PA120.3 in the front bottom of the case with air intake fans sucking cold air in and therefore blowing warm air from the radiator into the case.
My hard drives will be mounted at the rear and I will be using the fan holes there as exhaust fan points.
The fan hole above the cpu may be an intake point for cool external air directly onto the ram chips.
Will that be enough to prevent heat build up within the case, plus also how do you think the NB and SB & RAM Modules will go? Plus, will I be over-pressurizing, under-pressurizing the case? Does it matter?
Thanks,
GeoffP.
