Look at the dissipating flow.

Ok, we're looking at the far backside. Above the power supply you see a silver panel that circulates air. I have a fan blowing out air on the backside and also a fan blowing out air on the cpu unit. How should these fans be set. Should the cpu fan be blowing in or out. I'd figure since the panel is there, it'd blow out on it and circulate the air over to the ram as well. Let me know, thanks
Im confused to what your asking but it should be like this

I have the one you specify as out, right. The cpu one I have going out as well because I have a silver panel, as shown on that link sticking out over that area. what that does, is circulate the air better, it's ramp shaped like a J. was wondering if it's better suited that way or with the cpu fan blowing in. I suppose i'll have to test the temp rise with a prog

I would actually reverse what sab is saying. I would have the one over the cpu blow out and the one on the right blow in.

That way, fresh air blows in over the hot heatsink and then out.

Either way will prob be fine, thats just how I would do it.


The way im talking about would also work much better if the fins on the cpu heatsink were facing horizontal direction rather than how it is (vertical)


Experiment with it and let us know man.

it looks good and is quiet i runn all but top fan on med and that on high even my wife said"WOW" thats a nice ass case and all she does is myspace whore lol she couldnt tell amd from intel (oh and yes they have the names written on em)

22 system
49 gpu 8800 gt kinda runs a bit warmer than old 7900gs

Yeah, that's a pretty awesome case, and those temps are great man! What's your load temp like though? 'cause that's where it really counts. Idle low temps are a sign of a well seated HSF, but when you take two instances of Orthos to it, that's when it really shines. I get similar temps to the ones you're listing, but I'm on all aftermarket cooling except the 8800gt I have, and I have Riva Tuned it to 55% fan speed fixed.

Our very own clan founder, Pun1sher, used that very case in his latest build.

Check it out, you'll be impressed with what he did with it.
