*** NEW Fractal Design Case - Coming Soon ***

Zlib, this is very interesting with 9 fans alltogether!!?? Could you please look up this following picture that I have overlaid with the airflow which I am ASSUMING is what you have configured it to be?? Please confirm if that's the correct airflow pattern that you are using for your case rig?

Ta!

I am thinking of having a fan controller and putting it in the spare 5.25" bay when my new case arrives later this week. Any recommendations?

I am concerned as some fan controller's potentiometer dials may protude too far out, thus unable to close the R2 door?
 
Hey TimMatrix,

Its actually 10 fans :D

You have it almost right, the back fans for the h50 are exhausting air and the side panel is exhausting air.

But the side panel fan isn't too great, hardly much air getting pushed. Its a fractal 140mm, so its quite weak already. I didn't want to have it as intake because there's no dust filter. I'm pretty sure air is getting sucked in anyway, barely feel anything push against my hand.

TimMatrix my best mate had helped me which airflow is the best for my antec 1200 case as he is 100% right over this above pic:
As my case temperature drop by 4 degrees with one intake at the bottom rear fan and one it outtake at the top rear fan. Many thanks mate, you're a star, wish I should know that better myself ages ago! :)

Did ran 50 times on linx on problem size of 23118 and select memory of 4096 this morning at 6am and after 2 hours, 29 minutes of 4.0Ghz overclocked, it was stable pc at just 66c, 65c, 63c, 63c at 1.17vcore voltage! And the system temp is 32c, cpu temp at 39c, north bridge temp at 42c, gpu temp at 38c with 2 fans of 1900rpm with a push pull in a closed case with all fans on the antec 1200 set to low speed. All passed after 50 times ran on the linx stressed.

Very amazing temperature. Thanks TimMatrix! :)

I emailed them through the site a while ago and asked about possible triple rad versions, this is the reply I got this morning :D

First of all, I’m very sorry for our late mail reply. We do value your product suggestions and feedback highly!
We are currently working on a full tower version of Define. That is, a much larger case with a similar front panel design. I cannot guarantee that it will fit a 3x120mm radiator, but we will do our best! This case will most likely be released in the second half of 2010.

Best regards,

It is a good choice guys. A lot quieter than my old V2100, I can barely hear it above the background noise from being at uni. The loudest fan by far is in the new PSU, even then that is quieter than my old "silent" Seasonic.

I've got a corsair 450 which is barely audible. Zalman CNPS cpu cooler too. I think this in the Fractal it will be pure silence. :)
 
You won't get rubber mounts if you put your HDD into a top bay. Also, I've left my spare HDD trays in as my theory is I'll get better airflow that way - as there are holes in the rack the trays channel air to the back of the case rather than allowing it to buffet around in the HDD frame. Oh, and they look cool too. ;)
 
This case is absolutely fantastic, recieved mine today.

Replaced a Coolermaster Cosmos Pure Black with this one.

Top - 2x Akasa Apache's Exhausting
Back - Corsair H50 Push Pull Intake
Front - 1x Akasa Apache / 1x Fractal stock fan - intake
Bottom - 1x Fractal stock fan - intake

its knocked about 7/8c off my Load CPU temperature (i7-920d0 @ 4ghz) and its just as quiet as the Cosmos was.

Very happy indeed
