now you know why i use noctua at 50% very quiet! to your first comment imy AF140 are very quiet at 50%. 73 is quiet hot for Water. i don't like water so dont follow it generally, are you over clocking though?

Yeh I can see why 50% is good

I think it might be the industrials that just dont like the lower voltages for starting at. Which means i might swap them out at some point as it's quite annoying.

Do you think that changing my top rad to intake would help or hinder me - or is it a case of just trying. By the way, what model's are those in front of yours smogsy?

see here, i go orignal (aka old style colour but i like it shows their noctuas!

What you need to know:
Redux - are last years tech with a few features shaved off - thats why they are cheaper
Industrial - push loads of air, but don't generally care about noise to much (industrial & all) & have Very long lasting Qaulity
Original - Push slightly less air but noise is way way lower (min, 24.6 dB ) vs 31.5 dB(A) still have Good last qaulity (had mine for 5 years?) these comes with voltagge adapters too (dont think industrials do?)


mine are running at 50% so they are running about 18db (from their spec sheet)

Thanks bud - Yeh mine didn't come with an adaptor. I might try some of these soonish just to see how much better the noise level is. Don't get me wrong, i love these, they do the job for sure, but at the cost of hearing anything

I do have a slight fan fetish so any excuse to buy more.

Lovely build Matt.

Lovely build Matt.

Cheers mate, i will post up some nice pics soon, just waiting to re-arrange my desk so that the side panel is on show a little better

 

[gerico]

Decided to take some shots to show off the LEDs and the finished look. Still the odd thing I need to do. The braids could be better, im on that. Also the fan ring colorings, although hard to see here, need re spraying, to better match the vapor-x.

Here we go...

Looks great.

+1 Looks very smart mate!

Hows the cpu clocking going?

Cheers hunny

Its going slowly, there is a lot to take in, loads of different voltages etc. still reading up on it trying to get my head around it. Dont want to bugger it up on my first go.

Yeah Haswell has a few extra voltage settings that as a Sandy user, has me scratching my head a bit.

If i pluck the courage ill give it a go soon

looking good mate - get that CPU to 4.5GHz!

Ill try mate, might be getting some help

Because you have a H100
2x intakes running at high speed than 7v (if percentages) try 80%, H100 fans running slower maybe at around 60%
the back fan you could run at 7v or remove it at all. (testing is your best method)

this creating postive pressure, which will push all the hot air out of the cracks of your case even pci plate holes, (i can feel a breeze between mine!)

If you work out in maths:

750D is = 2.5318ft³ (cubic feet) or 16.194277 (cubed) (w x l x h)
2x Noctua @ 100% = 160CFM (cubic feet per minute) convertred from M3/h

as you see its pushing so much air its changing the air in a few seconds

ive tried vast amounts of fan/s got fans from 80mm all the way to 300MM
juast one box...

Hi smogsy,

You seem to know your stuff regarding cooling and gerico directed me to you - could you take a look at my thread to see the optimal cooling for me?
