My Build (With Pics)

shadow_boxer · 16 Dec 2010 at 13:16

Well i know how much we all love looking at snaps of cases and builds so thought I'd post a few of mine. Built a while ago now but just given the inside a bit of a clean and installed my new GTX 470!

Any excuse hey!

A few of my new HTPC.

I have to say, not a bad system.
I bet it gets some pretty good airflow huh? Particularly with those 2 120mm exhaust fans on the roof of the case?

might have been better off posting it here though: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17185358&page=111

Yeah, it's pretty good. i7 920 @ 4GHz idles around 35-40 deg C. 70-75 deg C when prime95 running. Replaced the stock Titan Fenrir fan with a Akasa Apache too (not noticed any difference in fairness to either temperatures or noise).

GTX 470 with custom fan profile sits around 37 deg C @ stock (not tired overclocking it just yet). Hits about 85 deg C when running Unigine tho.

Tend to have the four fans controlled by the fan controller at around 50%. Can get a bit noisy when at full load.

Old thread is old, but what is the fan controller and the thing covering the 5.25" drive bays? Is it a fan adapter?

nice build, however I was wondering at one thing.... what is the purpose of the blue fan on the bottom of the case?

Looks like a scythe fan controller

Haha! Far from it! I actually hate cases with too many lights etc. The blue fan I think was the stock fan from the front of this case, moved to the bottom so you cant see it too much.

Yeah, it's the Scythe Kama Bay, allows you to install a 120mm fan (intake for me) in the spare 3x 5.25" drive bays.

The fan controller is the Scythe Kaze Master with 4 temperature sensor leads.

The more Fans you can get blowing in the better. Positive air pressure is the way forward
