tj10

[Robertus]

I bought one recently and obviously it only comes with two fans (back fan which extracts and a fan cooling the GPU). Now I have two fans above the CPU socket. How should I configure it?

Furthest to back = extract
Closest to front = intake


?

dude, i love that case! totally will be in my next build. both exhaust, warm air rises. negative pressure inside the case is better than positive.

I've read a lot about this and still don't know which is better. + or - pressure.

I have seen a threat with a similiar question but with a TJ09, and the guy's CPU temp dropped 5 degree by putting the top fans on intake. Nothing on GPU temp with that setting but definitly worth a try!

Negative pressure generally equals better in-case temps, but draws more dust into the case.

Positive pressure keeps the dust out.

Hmm I don't know what to do now

Will be interested to hear what you find works best, Robertus. I've got this case and some extra fans on order as well.

Experiment with different fan layouts, use whichever works best for you.

[(+[ ]:)]

if you get a TRUE cpu cooler and put 2x 120 mm fans on the true and the top 120mm fans on top of your case put it as outtake fan to take the air out that would be a killer kooler

[Robertus]

Hmmm...

I think both fans are on intake and so far:

GPU Diode 80c
CPU 50/50/45/45 (running wow in the background/60 processes/vista 64)

My case isn't far from a radiator pipe which will have an effect, but even with the rad off temps are still highish. I probably need to remount my HS but I can't be bothered :/

Also a tad disappointed about my GPU temps - fan is at 60%.

Edit: Does daisy chaining fans have an adverse effect on RPM? I have two yate loons connected to one molex via the two 4 pin M/F connectors and the other two molex cables are used (one on CDROM and another on something else).

Shazza, I was going to do the MM thing but I have decided to get the J10. Was just curious what fans did you order for yours?. I was thinking about some Silverstone High CFM fans and putting them on a fan controller. Was just curious what you ordered or have any other thoughts.

whats the difference from the TJ10 and TJ9?

the tj10 has a door plus a holder in the front for super long graphicscards, rest is identical.

[Rammsteiner]

TJ-10 is simply moar sexy than TJ-09.... That's why I got it

I had only one spare 120mm around so I put it in the first top slot and made it exhaust. Ive the TRUE and it blows air out already in the direction of the open vent. The 120mm fan takes out more heat above RAM section. No idea if it actually works but I dont care.

Though I do think it's in general better to have them both exhaust. CPU temps might decrease but what about other heat building up in the case?

I was planning to do the same ... except I picked Silverstone Med CFM fans with a controller - and I have some Yate Loons I was going to experiment with as well. But, just after taking delivery of the TJ10, the Lian-Li 343B came in stock, so I returned the TJ10. It is a very nice case, I just wanted something a bit different.
