oi malmental - that you? how come you changed your alias!?

+ 1 to aftermarket cooler.

 

[Robi_g]

Am getting the new cooler tomorrow

 

[Lutfij]

:lol: thought about where'd you might've gone wandering off like a blair witch project puppet. Had to look up my fan controller thread to realize your alias shifted along with your avatar.

so hows it going man!?

thanks for asking bro.
getting ready for MSCE classes next month.
I've been on Tom's really studying but in the process about to hit 'master' level.
then I'll be around not so much...

ready to send me a water-cooling kit.. 😉

[:lutfij:5]just not quite yet mate 😀 haha maybe when I'll do that mod v3 on the H50. I could send it to you - just need to handle shipping customs and delivery 😛

you check out my vintage case mod build log?

 

[michaeljhuman]

I knew someone would complain about stock cooler. But with the mult. locked CPU version, there was little reason to order aftermarket except for looks. I may add a sealed liquid cooling HSF sometime.

I am more interested in GPU performance. I am getting just over 10,000 performance score in 3D Mark 11. I have a vision for two GTX 670 GPUs, maybe. Need to see what money is like after upcoming trip to sin city.

 

[michaeljhuman]

I accept donations of course, verbalizer 😉

 

[Lutfij]

@ michealjhuman - sometimes its best to not pay heed with our comments

@ mal - PM if you'd like mroe feedback! So you have been on that thread! but how come you didn't post anything there!?!?![:lutfij]

 

[michaeljhuman]

I did try OC the dual 6950 to 6970 specs, but ran into heat issues. So I am pretty interested in the dual GTX 670 setup as it seems to run pretty cool (at least some of the cards do.)

 

[Lutfij]

@ mal - 😀 :lol: BTW, I ain't kidding, if you need feedback on your case - gimme a holler!
@ mjh - those 670 cards are killer man!

@ everyone - prepare for moderation.

 

[michaeljhuman]

I did notice that the ATX power cable detracts a bit from the cabling on my build. Maybe there's a way to run that in a cleaner looking fashion.

 

[Robi_g]

@MJH
drill a hole above the 8pin power header and route it through there
also route the sata cables through the grommet
sexy build otherwise

 

[Robi_g]

Got the new cooler, much quieter than stock

 

[Uther39]

Nice man, ive heard good things about those new Arctic cooling i30s.

 

[Lutfij]

:lol: you mean hooorah!

 

[Robi_g]

Don't suppose anyone wants new temps 😛

Seems the modern style in Titanic sized HSFs is to have the fan on the side?

 

[Lutfij]

its been going on since the titanic sunk.

 

[akamrcrack]

Side/bottom/top

any direction the fan can be mounted really..

So if your case only has rear exhaust, side airflow is best way to setup the cooler.

If your case has plenty of exhaust at the top, you would most likely want to rotate the cooler so it blows the hot air up which makes it easier.

I would rather have the fans mounted on the outside of the cooler than down inside of it where dissassembly is required e.g. Cooler Masters V8.. Unless its an open design like the Noctua NH-D14 tower where you can fit fans on the outside and inside very easily.


Pics of my pc soon!

link to cable management.... 😛

Yep, and get that PSU turned the correct way up, so it has its own cool air supply and filtered, at the moment its contradicting your GPUs air supply.
