My HAF 932

Check it out! Just came in the mail today, along with those Awesome fans

Very nice

Cable management needs serious work tho.

4 fans in the door? WHY? Even though the 120's are fairly quiet, they'd still have to be much noisier than the one large fan. (although perhaps not as good at moving air.)

did it come configured that way, or did you make the change? (the ones I've seen had the 230 in the door)

You can take the single 230 out and put in four 120s. Personally I would use the single fan.

Oh and if you want to kill the LEDs all you need is a good pair of dikes. Snip one of the leads a few mm from the LED. It's not as permanent as it sounds either. It can be restored with a simple bit of soldering if you sell the case, etc.

Hi sweet thing...I expected a far more hi-tech solution for the LED's than "a pair of dikes"...something like "install a Binford 6000 multi-function nuclear controller" or something...

Well you can burn them with a 1W laser but more people have dikes on their workbenches.

Yeah, too much like work for me...I can live with the blue LEDs, OR the red ones even...but it'd be nice if they'd just put switches on the case to turn them all on/off.

BTW, how do you like that Corsair CPU cooler?
How quiet are the stock fans? I read your other thread, but it looks like you've swapped the fans out for something else.

You need to set up a full-flow-thru sea-water cooling system. Draw directly from the ocean...:biggrin:

 

[Rubycon]

The red ones are actually orange. The LEDs are close to 600nm which makes them quite orange but not citrus orange if that makes any sense! :biggrin:

The H70 rocks. Cooling matches any air cooler out there without all the motherboard twisting torque of the equivalent of hanging Godzilla's genitalia from your motherboard! The included fans are noticeably loud at full speed but you can quiet them down with the included plugs that have resistors in them. (stole that idea from Noctua!)

I chose the GTs because I have a box full of them and they are quieter and push the same air through the radiator giving me identical temps as the stock fans which were louder.

Haha while the ocean is definitely a seemingly unlimited supply of cooling power getting it done is full of all sorts of obstacles from logistics to politics. Heck there's chilled water lines with water at 6°C all the time in many places. If taps were installed and that was run through a water to water exchanger and cooled down water circulating through my computers...oh well one can wish in one hand and ____ in the other. D:

I always wanted to live on the beach in some tropical paradise where I could set up a full flow-through filtration system for a reef tank...but, as you say, the logistics and politics can be a real impediment to innovation.

Even if you ran a supply/return pipeline there would be lots of water quality issues. Granted the overall level of dissolved organics increasing would not be an issue but pollution is. A buffer zone would still be required. I suppose if the water column size is over 10 kilo liters it would be worth it.

It's a Xigmatek.

It's okay, I guess. I haven't used many other to compare it to.
It gets one of the top ratings on frostytech.

I can't hear the stock fans or the 120's I have installed, but I'm not running either of them at max voltage. The case fans are on level 5 of 9, and the 120's I bought are @ minimum, but I can go a decent bit faster and still not hear them, via fan controller.

My 120's are double-ball, 800-2500 rpm, and 16.5? to 36? dBa, up to 110 cfm

If only you saw how bad the other panel is.

Seriously, can anyone show me how it's done?

Actually, about the same - possibly quieter.

And I have the option to make them move a lot of air, via controller, far more than the 230 could have.

Plus, they're blue!!

most people who done this says it's louder but if you have good fans and decent controller I guess you can keep the noise down. but considering you are not running sli/xfire all that extra fan probably isn't needed. 1x230mm on my 932 is enough to keep the overclocked 460 gtx under 65.

NYKER,
They are very good fans,

You see I got them cheap, too.

Here, I re-did the wiring..

This is about the best I am going to possibly get, I simply have too many cables and a PSU that isn't quite up to speed. (750w, but only 2 pci-e, I need 3.)

I'm tempted to get a usb3 and usb2 enclosure for my DVD and Blu-ray, to clean up the inside a lot and add another fan.. A modular single-rail PSU would help quite a bit, then I only need 1 molex and 1 sata string, instead of 2.

With fans

I might be able to do the back a little better, but I don't care enough.

Nice system! Time to update your sig with the GTX 480! i'm about to do the same.

 

[Ruger22C]

It's a 460...

 

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

oops, looks like a 480, sry

 

[Rubycon]

oops, looks like a 480, sry

480s have exposed heat pipes.

 

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

480s have exposed heat pipes.

O, so you are checkin out peoples pipes huh? :hmm:

 

[Rubycon]

Oh if it matters not if it's hidden or exposed I find them!
