Antec 902 cooling at different fan speeds

Pickett · 10 Sep 2009 at 11:23

Hi,

Recently got a new setup with the Antec 902 and a PII 955 inside it.

I've tried a combination of different fan speed settings (on top, front, back etc) but haven't noticed a different in the temperatures on the CPU.

It's significantly louder however if I have them all on high, as opposed to all on low.

So was just wondering, do any of you with this case notice much difference in your temps if you have the fans on high/low?

What speed do you leave yours on in general?

Thanks.

I usually have the big boy at medium and the rest at low, can usually feel a nice warm breeze coming out the top too.

Thanks!

How about the induction fans on the front, do you have those at minimum too?

Ye, i leave them down, and give the filters a hoover every other week.

Yes, run bottom fan at lowest and top one a bit higher as I only have 1 drive in that section so try to maximise cool air into case.

Hoover my filters once a month or so, probably best once a week.

+1 (but 1200 case)

I replaced all the fans in my 1200 with s12s so I have best of both worlds, all run on max rpm and no noise
