Extra case fan/s for Enlight 7237?

[sweetboy]

Do you 7237 owners recommend any extra case fans and if so how big, what kind, placement etc. Will be o/cing and machine will live in a fairly warm room in so. Fla. Thanks! Oh and I'm using a Taisol 742092 w/upgrade fan on a 600 Duron.

IF you are going to be overclocking I suggest you add more than one extracase fan, and drill larger holes in the front..
other than the exhaust fan and the ps fan. I have 2 sunon 80mm fans on the side(intake), one 80mm sunon on the bottom front(intake), and a 120mm panflo on the top of the case(exhaust).

I have a Duron 700 running stable at 1083MHz in an Enlight 7237. I have a few case fans; all are 80mm Dynaenon fans.

Placement:

Intake: lower front (behind larger vents holes that I drilled out like Tschaft recommended.
Intake: blowhole on side of case, fan blowing on CPU
Exhaust: upper rear, just below the power supply
Exhaust: blowhole in top of case.

FYI: You can see 2 pics of my case at sparq-I tek. (You'll also see a bunch of other Enlight mods that put mine to shame.)

Thanks for the help,looks like case modding could be my 4th full-time hobby!

Make sure you drill those holes larger in the front of the case. The stock holes are too small even for a stock 80mm intake fan. I'd suggest putting at least a 92mm (maybe 120mm) fan as the front intake. Drill the holes to at least 3/8" but with a high CFM fan you probably need to go larger than that.

Definitely install a exhaust fan under the PS in the back and probably a blowhole or two like they suggested. The front hole/fan combination is crucial for what you're about to do. You need to get as much cool air in to the bottom of the case from the front as possible.

If you don't want too much work, then I would suggest getting at least another 80mm for exhaust to the back.

In addition, as the side panel of 7237 already got a ventilation holes........getting some kind of Cardcooler would do the job both circulating the air inside and cooling your vid card and cpu.

I've replaced my gf's 7237 with 80mm sunon high output for both front and back Then not having much time to mess with her case, so I just installed those 120mm card cooler from Globalwin (CAF-12).......this set up is very efficient even though I didn't punch out the front grill.

The Cel633@950 on intel h/s is cool as h_ll.......idles around 25c and 38c on heavy load.
