Another Awesome Case, 36 cm Fan
- Thread starter wwswimming

You'll find that the 360mm fan overwhelms the case - you don't get the cooling you'd expect. If it was a much bigger case or had signficantly more escape venting, it might work. A 250 is plenty for a mid-tower size case.

I wonder if you could run that thing off the mobo header 
How many CFMs you think it produces at full RPM?

mmmm.... 360mm fan...
I might be interested in it if i was running a magicool monster radiator 360x3.
Hmm, nah, 3x PA120.3 rads would be better
true. but its a ton thicker, and also i dont think it would line up 360mm on one side.
Looks like a pretty restrictive intake on that fan... if you used it with lots of other smaller fans, I think it would mess up airflow pretty bad and cause some major turbulence.
Another thing is the almost irreversible positive pressure it'll generate - no filters + massive airflow + not enough exhaust = bad.

turbulence & heat exchange go hand in hand.
in the innards of thermosciences, where they talk
about Raleigh numbers etc., turbulence is blessed.
if the goal is to dissipate heat.
but, you're right, if that one fan is blowing in,
all of the other fans might be blowing out.
one of the disadvantages of tower coolers is
they tend not to send some air down onto the
motherboard components. they chill the CPU
great, but the northbridge could be roasting.
that XCilio is a good kind of case to use in conjunction
with a tower cooler.

XClio -- it's the XClio.
They had a dual 250mm-fan model.
On the downside, larger fans that are powered like modestly powered 120mm jobs have a lower pressure at the exhaust.
On the upside, if the case is well sealed so air only exits through the exhaust, it's not a bad idea. It's not a bad idea for noise, also, which was one of the reasons that larger fan sizes are becoming more popular.
On the downside again, the only way to replace the fan -- I would think -- would be through XClio unless you can find their fan-supplier. It may be specially made for that case, though.
Don't let me get started on how this sort of thing has "ducting" possibilities. . .

It took a while for the 250mm units to hit the secondary market, but they are out there now. I doubt the 360 will become popular enough for the secondary market to take interest in them though some might try to take advantage of those w/o a clue. The antec 200mm fan is out there too, if anyone wants one...

I dont know. In the beginning alot of people thought the 250mm fans were too much but they proved useful. Although case size in relation to the fan is also important. One thing I certainly dont undertsnad is why they'd use the name 'Propeller'. To me thats going to put a negative stamp on it. If I was marketing to informed pc crowd I certainly wouldnt use 'Propeller' as a name. That brings up images of 'a lot of noise' in my pc mind. Then again maybe they named it that because it is quite noisey? :laugh:
Well, it may be an inability of PacRim asians to come up with cool product names on the US marketers' level.

"Propeller" reinforces the stereotype summarized by the cliche' -- "Fan-Boi." [With an "O-I" -- as in "Bok-Toi."]
It also suggests another stereotype -- "propeller-head."

ducting is good.
Varian used to make a 1 Kilowatt travelling wave tube
about 2 feet long, 6" diameter.
cooling - air. a humongous amount of it. the fan
we used cost $5K.
actually, the tube was 10 KW, with a 10% duty cycle.

bok-choy = white cabbage
bok Goy = white devil.
Bok Toi = white ?
if you're a caucasian guy and you're going out with an
Asian woman, and the father wants his daughter to marry
an Asian man, there's a good chance this term will find
it's way into usage.
also heard it used once at the Foothill College Flea
Market. i had a bag of 100 capacitors and was asking
20 cents each, or something. 2 Asian guys came along
and first offered me 11 cents a capacitor. during the
part of the negotiations that occurred in Chinese,
"Bok Goy" came floating out. i was informed afterwards
that i had been called a white devil. we settled on 15
cents a capacitor.

Wow, looking at the inside picture, it's the spitting image of a CoolerMaster Elite 330, down to the toolless fasteners. Only in the XClio, they are white instead of black.
oh, that brings back memory
when I was overclocking my MMX 200 to 233, I ran into problem with heat
One of the solution was to put a stationary AC fan, right next to the opened case.
My buddies used to laugh at the setup, I wonder if they'd still remember me when they see this crazy 360mm fan case
