How is the noise and cooling on the sx1030?

[nitrousninja]

I'm building an AXIA 1G/KK266R SYstem that I plan to overclock. I was wondering how wel it cools and with all four fans running how loud is it? I have the Tornado1000 right now and it is too loud to leave on all the time. What extra fans should I add!(it comes with 2\4) Is the 300Watt PS enough for an overclock system? Thanks for any help!

it is *very* quiet and very cool. you'll be happy with it's performance.

even better, swap out the 2 rear 80mm for panaflo L1A or M1A, then put a panaflo in the drive cage slot. and finally, whip out thte dremel, and open up a little room for a 92mm panaflo in the front. and if you really want good cooling, put a 80-120mm blowhole in the top panel. Good luck with your mods(you should do them

or you can do like I'm doing in front
Since the top drive cage has room for 2 exterior drives and one HD, and since I will never have more than 3 HD's in the box (the # you can put in the lower cage) I have cut 1/2 inch off the top drive cage I then drilled out the rivits on the tray it sits on and moved it up 1/2 inchand reattached w/ rivits and J/b weld, and then moved the lower tray up 1/2 inch as well, this gives me enogh room to just sqeeze in a 120mm fan..... cool
