I was wondering if you guys knew what material this window was made from. I know its some sort of polymer - plastic, but it "feels" different from the material used in my Lian Li PC65's window.
Basically, I want to cut a hole into the window above my 92mm cpu fan to get better air for my cpu because it is running medium hot. (about 12C above sys temp)
I dont want to risk shattering the plastic on my SuperLanBoy case and figured you guys had more expertise with hole cutting on several thicknesses of different materials.
So far, to "balance out" the exhaust from the TrueBlue480, I put a 80mm fan on 5V in my 5.25" bay right below my DVDrom. The cracks between the drive bay cover seems to be enough for this fan when it is on 5V. This succeeded in dropping system temp by 1C-2C.
My cabling is extremely neat. Looking into the window, no cables can be seen except 2" of the USB2.0, and case power,reset etc along the bottom; and the round ATA cable for my dvd drive which runs along side the mobo and the rest being tucked to the right of the 5.25" bays. Stock 120mm fans are on normal voltage. CPU fan is enermax 92mm variable resister on 1800rpm. The 92mm fan on my PSU is at 1800rpm. I assume my 120mms to be at 2200rpm.
Is there a possibility that the exhaust 120mm and the PSU 92mm are causing a negative pressure for my CPU fan? If so, would the hole in the window help?
Specs.
1800+ DLT3C (200x8 43C, 30C) (200x11 55C, 40C) (Load temp)
BIOS 23 NF7-S ver2.0 (thinking of rolling back to 19 because 23 is not as stable for me)
Thermalright 947U with enermax 92mm
2x512mb PC3500 Mushkin level 2 @2.8V
74GB Raptor (placed center with 120mm intake)
SuperLanBoy case with 480Trueblue PSU
Thanks for you help! Im hoping I can drop the 12-15C Delta Temp to maybe a 4-8 C Delta Temp with some sort of non-expensive modification.
