Mr. Peet,

How expensive were those 140mm fans? Are they noticable improvements over the stock ones? Lastly are there any fans across the top? In or out?

Also, you need to update your system specs

they were pretty cheap

yes

yes one blowing in.

Going to change it now.

Just finished setting up new fan controller, can finally control ALL my fans, and got plenty more connections to go : ]

Seems I can connect 3 120mms to each node

My system is still louder then the 1 silenx 120mm I have though lol

( all fans in my system are set to 5 volt! plugged in other fan by itself via molex)

Seems most nose is coming frmo the thermaltake fans on the side panel : / cheap POS

Idle temps on cpu have gone up a few degrees and gpu idle temps have gone up by 15c XD

 

[Cold Storm]

sounds fun though

It's was fun. got to know a lot more from all that.

sounds good man. I need to think about a fan controllers again..

 

[p_o_s_pc]

I don't have any kind of fan controller. 3 of my fans are 3pin so i use the mobo to slow them down(the mobo has a great built in fan controller) and the other fans i have on full power but turned on low(they are Antec TRI cool)

When it comes to the 80mm Tt fans i disagree. Mine are near silent but i had 1 120mm fan from Tt and i hated it.

believe me, they arent worth it ;-)
a good unhearable AC fan would be on par with it
i never tested the 80s tho!

I love my Tt fans I wouldn't trade them for anything. They are really nice fans but move little air.i have found them good for cooling the ram when doing high voltage runs or as a fan in a PSU that has 2 fans (like the Antec Smart power) they make a good replacement for the one that isn't on till it gets hot(but wire it into the 12v line so it runs all the time0

here are the ones that i use

[Cold Storm]

Thunderblade's... Oh, I remember those fans.. had a few in my first build. great fans.

 

[3volvedcombat]

i had 4 blue led Tt 80mm fans, they had the best glow, best finish, and moved some air while they were at it.
(they looked alot like the thunderblades above, but only had a molex coming from the fan for strait 12v)


But i moved on to 120's and thought they were turbines compared to 80mm fans. What a fan upgrade that was 1 1/2- 2 years ago hahaahaah

 

[p_o_s_pc]

i only use my Thunderblade fans for ram cooling and replacing the outside fans on the Antec Smartpower PSUs. they do a great job on both of them... I remember my switch to 120mm fans i was like at all of the airflow them put out and how big they looked

Cold Storms PSU showed up yesterday, so I added it in its new home today

eww those are some ugly fans ruins the case

i cant believe noctua wont change their shit and cookies color theme... i never will buy them with that look

Just wait till you post ur rig

When the door is on I only see the ones on the cooler, so color dont matter much, plus I like the way they stand out. No one ever asks what brand of fan I have

 

[mlee49]

You know I never liked Gigibyte's board color schemes. The light blue PCI-E lanes look like crap imo.

Personally Evga's all black boards are pimpin.

i mostly buy fans, that are best suited for rad use, to be able to mount them there in case of emergency... i love the Enermax Magmas for that job! best looking fan without LED, i find!

EDIT: yeah i agree with both statements 100%
Evga Board are Pron, regarding their Design ;-)

But it matches my PSU

 

[Cold Storm]

Yeah, the whole set up has to match.. That's why.. and I'll say it again.. I hate the look of the new 5870's... getting red on the side.. I don't want a red style case, or a classy board!

 

[3volvedcombat]

What really kills the scheme of his(Sneekys) rig is the mattblack going against the shinny clear coat surfaces of the video cards, If the video cards were matt black gtx 295 dual slots, with stickers pulled off, and you just turned a light on in your room, and didnt use the flash on the camera, then go ahead and take a picture, the motherboard wouldnt look gay blue, the cards would darken the feel and the soft colors of the fans will make it nice and warm .



Also getting your hand in there and try squeezing the sleeving up farther on the video card 6-8pins and motherboard 24pin so you can down the wire show. Id just buy 80-100 dollars in pre sleved adapters that are black and such and have some fun makeing your e-peen bigger in net pics.

 

[sneekypeet]

24-pin adapter and an extra GPU cable will redo things a bit. I dont care for the PSU mounted GPU power cables.

With the lighting, I cant get enough near the case to make a worthy image, so I am stuck using the flash, abd yes it does bring the "green" out in that PCB color with the flash.

Only the ceiling light which casts shadows, and a 60W bulb in the desk lamp...they just come out grainy and dark

 

[3volvedcombat]

Thats a little better pic, iphones doing the best it can.
(AND TO THINK theres a gigabyte board underneath of all those dam fans, coolers, and hardware.)
