my new air set up :up:
The best buy rocketfish weighed a lot less and proved easier to bring to LAN's. But it just didn't cool or dampen the noise like my old stacker w/ dirt bike tubes used for the suspending the drives. It also had a single exhaust and less ventilation up front. It might be old, scratched, dinged, and heavy, but I love my stacker! :up:

It has been a while since I've been on air, so I figured I'd so off what I have currently.
Going to replace it in a week or so once I get my Killcoils from PetrasTechShop.

SimpleTECH, could you please post a pic of the front with the fan controller? is it the basic version or the ACE version? thanks! :up:
It's the Scythe 'KAZE MASTER' 5.25" bay fan controller.
They released a newer version as well. But I still prefer the one I have currently, little more chic.
thanks. i have to decide between the kaze master, the kaze master ace, sunbeam rehobus and sunbeam extreme. wondering what will fit better the front of the ATCS840 i'm getting (***review coming soon ;)***)Quote:

evil-98 what cooler is on your graphics card?
It looks kind of like a scythe mushashi/ arctic cooling xtreme.
Hey jdmR, why would you put the Ultra Kaze as the exhaust instead of on the CPU? Usually 38MM thick fans have higher static pressure, so wouldn't it be better on the CPU?
after trying different set ups for the airflow across the cpu hs, i found that theres still a good enough amount of airflow with the way it is set now: intake-ultra kaze hsfan-xigmatek exhaust-ultra kaze. keep in mind that this is a direct air flow. i was also keeping aesthetics in mind as well as performance. i'll be aiming for a moderate 4.2 ghz on a e8400 so im hoping the temps will be fine
I can't get enough biosscreens:D

I'm looking forward to your review.
will you be testing them passive?
Surely =)
I can't wait either :cool:

So your results would be based on ATi HD 4850 (1gb I assume)? Talk about luck, I'm planing to purchase one for my Htpc.
Now I'm really impatient with results :p:
@evil-98: what case will that go in?
My modest Rig.

It's possible, but not very easy.

wow that Scythe looks HUGE!
not as huge as an orochi tho... i got it yesterday... OMG! :eek:Quote:

The Orochi is one of the best coolers i know. Peoples's who means that he is only good as passiv or low-flow, i can say no:D Never mind, low or high, he's the best performance i know:D And cooling with him makes a lot of fun:surf:
Nice Meth!

I know, I like normal black fans (w/ huge motors more so), lol.

ups!

nice pics gr33n
The GPU was a luck find at microcenter. Looked in their bin-o-fans and saw a .45A 120x25mm fan for $4.99. Got it and I'm very pleased. Totally forgot the brand name though and getting it off requires shutting down, sorry. If it were a big name, I'd know it, so probably something neither of us have heard of. It does ~2,550RPM and is about as loud as the big fan, just higher pitched.Quote:

I have a Panaflo FBA12G12U (.65A, 2950RPM, 119CFM) that has been going at 85% of full speed or higher for over a year and hasn't given any indication of having a problem.
Cut to last fall. I got two Ultra Kaze's because, hey, they're cheap. Would have been much better served getting ONE additional Panaflo. Not one, but both Kaze's have started making a horrible clicking noise. Except for benching sessions, they didn't run more than 80% of full speed and less than two months each. Won't ever make that mistake again.
I too like black fans. They don't make pretty LED fans that do what I need to...scream like the dickens and move a lot of air. I can make the system look just fine (IMHO) without LED fans. :up:
GR33N, i see your hitting the slops eh? thanks to the snow we've been getting here, Ive been able to carve the slopes too! sweet rig BTW

Bit off-topic post I know:Sorry for the late reply. No need to shutdown your PC, the size and power tells me something about that GPU fan. Hmm, so I definitely won't think of getting an Ultra Kaze. SVC has a low-speed Panaflo 120x38mm for about $9, OOS atm though. Sometime I'm going to splurge and get a few L1 Panaflos, maybe run a fan controller to keep DB's in check, or just quieter than my GPU, which is easy.Quote:

I'd post a pic of my rig but photobucket is doing maintenance, my apologies ofr not having my rig pics on my HDD at this time.
Edit: joker, how's that Accelero doing for you? :D.

u change your graphic cards and didn't clean that tuniq??
haha I tried to clean it off, but taking it out is out of the question, this is a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: to get out.
Get a car interior detailing brush, you can use it to clean your whole computer. I give my computer a whole work over with mine once every two weeks just to keep it from getting nasty (and those two YL's on my Noctua get it really dusty really fast)Quote:

Personally I'd pay $300 max for a GPU then $100-150 for a mobo.
Why? He's already running at 4ghz... no need for a high-end mobo.Quote:

Nice job.
Seems those 9600's in SLI are comparable to a GTX 260 or even a little better @ 16x10 res(if AA/AF is not max'd). Rock on. :up:.Quote:
