thanks thanks!! im modding the heck out of the case soon. im supposed to be getting my 12" x 48" sheet of aluminum, and a 24" x 24" sheet of acrylic. Actually, the UPS guy just rang the doorbell the moment i typed that period lol. Its a VoodooPC inspired case. And for the "roller coaster" thingy, i might actually go watercooling or something lol. and its not a BTX, its an inverted atx case. the BTX case actually takes btx mobos.. anyways,, time to start poping these rivets off :)

It worked out to be like this..

Stock Fan at 100% = Zalman at 60% ( Truly Dead Silent )

The performance of the new cooler is truly fantastic.

Even if I leave it on it's slowest setting (BIOS driven 60%) it is almost a full 10 Deg cooler. Under load (Company Of Heroes 45 min) it normally got as high as 72, recently it never went over 61 which is a big big difference.

Most definately looks to be a Silverstone FM122 120x38mm :)

You can tell because its all white, and then if you look at the center you can see the blue from the Silverstone logo :up:

This is the best I could do in my apartment, without power tools. Zalman and the two 120mm intake fans @ 6v, the red exhaust at 12v but it's a quiet fan. All in all whisper quiet setup in 2d, of course you clearly hear the gfx card in 3d mode. 48c while folding.

@ xcel: whats with all the foil in there man?! it freaks me out lol - if it were me, i'd be scared of it shorting something lol.. i see u use as sound insulation(?)

It's sound insulation material yes, 2cm of some kind of mineral wool. The shiny coating is actually non conductive and made of some sort of plastic, maybe it has an additional effect or is there to avoid direct skin contact to the mineral wool, I don't know. What I do know is it helps noticably in keeping the noise low and the insulation + rubber grommets under the HDs make them almost silent under operation.

Thanks, I could probably have made it even cleaner with power tools but I'm pretty satisfied with the current result :)

Nice temps. I do have a suggestion on how to help with your setup. If you are using all the fans you could cut a hole for a 120mm fan to replace the small fans in the front and lower your noise and keep your temps low.

That is considering you have room of course.
