Antec Sonata Front Fan Problem

jake000 · 31 Aug 2006 at 11:11

I have an Antec Sonata Case and I have been getting case temps of upto 50C :eek:

I have 3 hard drives as well, so I would like to keep them cool as well.
My problem is that my 7800GTX is too long and the cable for it is in the way of where the fan goes.

Is there anything I can do to make the fan fit besides getting another case?

Thank you

Is your computer unstable currently?

Its not unstable but I would like cooler case temps than 50C.

There is nothing wrong with 50c though. If its stable there are no issues.

I have a 70deg load case temp computer, running 24/7 for years now, perfectly fine.

If its stable, its fine. Why do you want lower temperatures?

Yewen, sorry to butt in. I sent you an email regarding the name change.

I want to overclock my cpu and although my cpu temps are good and thats the main thing, I would still like lower temps. No major reason, I just want lower case temps

Thank you for the help

I have one of these cases. It is possible to mount the fan on the inside of the drive caddy - but you then only have one mounting place for an internal 3.5" drive; and I'm not sure what temps you'll see on your HDD since it doesn't have any airflow over it.
