What none of you seem to understand is....





The TJ-07 can do air as well!

hmmm you just gave me an idea

[emoners]

Backside Mobo Cooling

how thick is that fan? can you still close the case?

[nzbleach]

does cooling the back of the motherboard lower CPU temps?

I'll be joining the few who have done so shortly

[Battle_Rattle]

it's 70mm x15mm.... and yes, one can still close the case. Once the screws are on it's kind of hard to get past the right rear vertical post, but it just takes a little pressure.

does cooling the back of the motherboard lower CPU temps?

The CPU? not really, and it cools the mobo about 4c or so. I didn't expect much doing this because I wasn't going to vent out side air by cutting the outside of the case (TJ-07 is too pretty to do that.) Still though, it does get air moving back there, it was a great way to tinker for a couple of hours.


word of warning though about cutting on the 20 gauge steel motherboard tray... unless you have a professional type press, do not try to A) use a hole saw or B) try to use a cobalt bit to repeatedly bore out the space. The simplest way is to use Dremel/Rotozip out the needed space using reinforced cutting discs.

Tj07 doesn't have any intake fans? Hows the air flow?

Stock, it has 2 92mm fans in and 2 120mm fans out.

[PrometheusCon]

That looks pretty bad@$$!

but one question, doesn't that cut off the airflow for all the other components???

There is still a 120mm intake and a 120mm exhaust. I might just say forget the orange duct that came with the hr-01 cause it doesnt really flow with the case.

Hi all, I was considering getting the TJ07 for a while now but i noticed that to get the neat cabling in most of the cases, the mobo tray was modified with extra holes. is this necessary? if so, what tools would one need to do accomplish this?

Empty_Quarter, it looks like the front of your TJ07 is using Antec 900 bezels or perhaps even the extra HDD cage for the 900. would you be able to confirm my assumption? if you did use either of them, was there any modding required or did it fit just fine w/o mods?

Thanks in advance

Edit your post plz, you don't need to quote all pics in the world

Hey, I'm thinking about getting a TJ07. I was curious about what water cooling supplies you use in your systems. I am a noob to water cooling. Please message me, I love this case and water cooling setup, I am just confused on which parts to buy. Thanks.

Also, the fan control speed takes place of the front inputs. Where do you put in headphones mics, ect. In the back of the motherboard?

Stock, it has 2 92mm fans in and 2 120mm fans out.

both the 92mm fans are suppose to be exhaust.

Yes those are Antec 900 Cages, Absolutely no modding is required. As simple as installing DVD-drives

Thank you so much for your reply .

btw, to get the neat cabling that you did, did you have to drill any extra holes into the MOBO tray?

thanks again.

[emoners]

so both the 2x92mm & 2x120mm fans are exhausts?

[64dragon]

what does it matter? just unscrew them, flip them around and air flow direction will be in the opposite direction

[jimmsch]

These Silverstones seem like very nice, sturdy, good looking quality cases. I may have to get one the sext time I am case shopping!!

Thank you so much for your reply .

Nope, absolutely no modding was done in that build. I ran cables between the motherboard/tray to hide the cables.

thanks again. last question (i think ), where did you get the HD cage? did you get it directly from antec.com?

thanks in advance.

Here's my finished build (finally!). Its a dual loop setup, and as explained on my previous post a couple of pages ago, its been influenced by a few people's threads around here!





















and before anyone comments on one of the cards being bent, it isnt due to a bad mount on the WB. It was like that new out of the box. I didnt rma it as it ran ok, and has been for the last year.

If you want to check it out... have a look at all my mods/project log here:

Other wise, looks kickass, great job on the water loop.
