Moding my case

[twitchee2]

I want to mod my case a bit, but iteeds to be very quiet. So this is what I am thinking. I have the rig in the sig but it will soon have a SI-120, S12 600w, VF700-cu. I want to get lots of air flow in this thing without buying a new case. I am thinking of adding a 120mm exhaust here. And some exhuast here. I will get a fan controller so that they are all nice and quiet. Do you have any sugestions or other ideas? How do you sugest cutting the holes? Thanks for all the help.

twitchee, your in the wrong forum bud. You may get some imput here but over in Cases & Cooling you will get more.

That's alot of exhaust. Where's the intake?

Go to www.overclockers.com/tips/. Give an hour of your time to case cooling tips.
They offer much good info and how to's. Contrary to popular belief, they do value quiet.

adding more fans will ALWAYS make it noisier

You may want to build a sheet metal duct over the graphics card to help direct the air flow. Duct.png


Something similar to what Dell puts over their CPU's is the Ideal Solution. Dell Fan Duct


But I think this would be the easiest and best solution- PCI Slot Cooler Works Well

Other Options- Full list

I have read multiple reviews on those PCI slot cooling fans, everything I have read say they SUCK. I wouldn't waste my time on one of those stupid little gimick fans if my life depended on it.

Where did you read those reviews?

My belief is that if you get one that is too strong it will suck hot air from the top of the case and pull it downward. That is why you want a low speed version. If you can prove me wrong then I would love to know.
