Spec Check Please?

Is that why maybe I can hear the PC at 12V?

Well at least that's my reasoning.
Anything under 12v is ok on the metal grills, however a af140 doesn't have that problem.
The reason why, in my opinion is because there is no spacing in between the fan and the grill on the fractals.
Whereas with the af120s for example there is an extra rubber material in between.

I will disconnect the fan at the back, and put the fan controller to the highest speed and then see how much I can hear the fans :)

Which is the best software to monitor all fans, speeds, temperatures etc?

I tried to install MSI Afterburner however, because I have Windows 8, it doesn't work properly as I cannot launch the application :(

Need to sort that out tonight and find out what the root cause is, it could be my graphics drivers, not sure yet :confused:
 
dam rly? i will have to try it on windows8 too to test
you remember the error msg? or was it pretty generic

coretemp and afterburner i use
gpuz will monitor but doesnt have the fan control of afterburner

Error message was "failed to initialize display driver wrapper".
 
you could try evga precision
its pretty similar to afterburner
but i think u r right and its a driver error hmhm

i was running windows8 on my gaming machine few months back all was cool, tho they could have messed somethin up ><

Check and let me know how you get on, would be good to know where the issue is.

Which Graphics card do you have btw?
 
i "borrow" my gaming pc right now, has 690 in it :)
im paranoid about breaking the fan on it bcos its a nice cooler, my last pc had an ati and the fan broke, well it works but its noisy, i might try fix it sometime
want to try run it without a fan in a small build bcos my laptop sucks ><
 
An update to post #193.

Pictures of my case with the CPU Cooler/Fans pointing the correct way :D

BLOODY HELL! that cooler is a BEAST haha
Here's my suggestion:
Move your HDDs and SSD to the lower rack, and remove that top rack -> you'll have better air flow through the case from the front.

And yeah man - I'll try it now :D!

It works the same way because I will have a fan at the front of the case but at the lower level, air will blow in, then I will have a fan by the PSU push air up.

Plus, i've done all the wiring now and don't fancy changing them for a few degrees :p
