TheRed's H20 Cooled CM830 BEAST! Project log *(56k beware)

As a previous user of the bip-at-rear-of-case setup, I can honestly tell you it won't make a difference at all unless your case has terrible airflow.

I'm not so sure about that. On that board he is running the HOTTEST part of the board are the mosfets, which coincidentally are right NEXT to that 120.1 rad... those fets get HOT and he is just drawing that hot air into the rad.

Thanks guys! Ya once I salvage some quaters for yates, ill replace my all my fans and change around the direction they blow.

+1 to this statement

Just have the rear draw air in. You have a STACKER 830 dude. Your not making any wind tunnels here, nor is your case cramped without airholes.

You wont cause any pressure in that case because, ... blah... i dont even need to explain.... you can see it.

So just draw air in the rear rad. That way it will also do well cooling your board additionally and the mosfets.


Also very very nice job. You just solved a riddle i had about the stacker830. Board reversal solves everything!.
