Hi just showing my test of the kama bay was making sure components work ,i replaced the Scythe fan with a Phobya 120 seems to blow quite well lot better than the corsair i'll have 6 running of the controller and the 2 hard drive fans running of a single molex to 4 fans adapter i'll update as i get pics and parts thanks
 
Hi thanks for the comments the fans do push quite a bit air they are
Phobya Nano-G 12 1500rpm Airflow: 107,76m³/h / 63,44 CFM
Only tested 1 fan in the controller it seems to work quite well they have a blue led on untill half way up then the led turns red when more power is added thanks

Here is me attempt at red corsair sticker

Looks a lot pink in the pic to real life i did it in paint shop pro and printed it onto photo paper then used double sided tape to stick it on i have some spares so might try a red marker on 1 of them better than the blue anyhow
Has anyone used Royal Grease thermal paste what cums with the Titan Fenrir cooler or should i get some other thermal paste ?

 
Hello again quick update got my cpu and gpu yesterday so decided to put it together i got an AMD 1090T Black Edition and an Asus ATI Radeon HD 5870 going to install win 7 64bit and run some tests i still have to set the fans up and sort a few things out here is a pic

big hello to Drinkmaster for helping me out a bit :)
 
Hello acemath my fans are Noise emission: 25 dB(A) and they are okay i run them of the controller so i can alter them i think them Noiseblockers would be quite quiet but im no expert you would be best of reading up on them and try youtube lol plus all mine are still getting setup :)

Hello again and thanks the cooler will only fit in the north south orientation on the AM3 socket shame i know but would only be a problem with no fan in roof i think .My temps are okay i think i'll try and get some pics of some tests soon, Bios temp says cpu temp 29*C\84*F

Hi again and thanks for the comments,yes g-dubs i know what u mean about the cooler fan i was going to put a Phobya 120 on it but bugs me a little having to orientate the cooler the north south direction so im thinking of getting a Noctua nh-d14 and spraying its fans black and red says on there site they clear the ripjaws memory.Id like to know if anyone thas seen the noctua on same motherboard and ram incase it wont fit i'll put the fennir on my other build its a very good cooler.I did another overclock yesterday to 4.2GHz and scored 22826 on 3dmark06 forgot to say its like sitting next to an air conditioning unit in this hot weather we having :) right i best go i'll keep an update on the build bye for now :)

Hello again quick update
coolersprayedfans220.jpg

Put it on the board and had about 3mm clearance for the ripjaw ram,i can now put my ram in slot 1 and 3, a plus point is the middle fan blows the northbridge heatsink so keeping it a bit cooler i'll do some tests when its all together well i best get on laterz :)
 
Hello again put pc back together and everything seems good ,the pc has gone very quiet with putting this noctua cooler on the cooler fans are running 1000 rpm less than the titan and the temps are a little better i think .Slyxfx i know what u mean about the air intake but i have mine cumming in from the front right through to the back here is a pic of what i mean
miffansback200pix.jpg


I also have the front roof fan blowing in and the bottom fan blowing in all others blow out the airflow seems to work good and temps are good i will be doing watercooling later on in the year

Very nice. How quiet is it as I've got a Corsair 700D and am finding it a bit noisey with the standard corsair fans etc.

Only additional fans I have are 2 x Noctua 90mm fans on a Noctua HS
Click to expand...

I find it quiet for me all my case fans work of the fan controller i have them turned about half upsometimes full on hot days i think the loudest fan noise cums from my gpu but as i have said im going to watercool it all just going to get the parts gradually as ive now got 3 builds on the go lol catch ya soon bye
