sugo evolution

Badger_grr · 6 Jan 2007 at 13:43

hey guys was just wondering if theres a big difference between the old sugo and the new "evolution" model.

also by looking at the picture below anyone that own one do you think theres enough space to place a 120mm fan where ive drawn?

edit: also looking for a silentish system and wondered whether that cooler without a fan would be sufficent for a mildly overclocked e6300. will be a seasonic psu. Or should i just get a zalman?

Raise 120mm fan from base to miss any motherboard obstruction, this will also increase airflow to feed air to the rear of the fan, various methods of raising 120mm fan from base eg: Fan mounts ( Zalman ) , L brackets etc... hope this helps

ah i see yes, good idea. do you think it would overlap the motherboard at the side atall then?

If by any reason it does.... then you can easily adjust the hight of the 120mm fan from the base to miss any obstructions

like Memory or any Compasitors

you could just about fit a 120mm fan there but thats where the hdd cage goes

And air isn't drawn into the case, so it's just shifting air already in the case. Unlike a TJ-08.

Will still reduce hot spots

i only plan to have 1 dvdrw and 1 hdd which will sit in the second 5.25 bay. i wont have the hd cage installed.

what do you mean air isnt drawn into the case, surely if i cut a hole in the bottom and place the 120 fan there it will? the feet of the sugo give it enough clearance to allow air to easily pass underneath and into the case surely?

The Sugo Evo is the best cooling SFF I have ever used, the best mATX cooling board as well.

Just need to plan what you are doing a little.

The Thermaltake Blue Orb 2 is the cooler of choice for maximum performance.

There will not be enough room where you have drawn, only enough for a hard drive sideways.

The Sugo evo does not need ANY extra cooling above the stock fan mountings, if anything it has excessive cooling for any rig you are likely to put in it. Easily able to handle SLI.

thanks for the info yewen, how are the stock fans noise wise. The idea of the 120 fan was to limit noise as much as possible

im using 2x Coolink SWiF-801 80mm in mine
and there very quiet

1 on the hdd cage and 1 on the back to remove any hot air from
my gfx card.
