Have to ask Nyzrox, what did you upgrade to from a 120.2 rad ?

a mac

 

[Arthalen]

LOL!!!!!

RB - Could you do me a tiny little favour please ?

In your Aurora, could you mount dual fans pulling air through your Rad with the rad mounted externally ??

So it would:

AirFLow In ---> Rad -> Case Wall -> Fan -> Fan -> AirFlow coming in ---->

If so I think this is the case for some High performance W/C.

 

[R B Customs]

LOL!!!!!



AirFLow In ---> Rad -> Case Wall -> Fan -> Fan -> AirFlow coming in ---->

WHAT ?
lol
ive had

outside of case| fan| rad|case wall| fan| inside case
(like a radiator sandwhich (sp??) )

thats nto a problem at all
but ti was with 4 pathetic fans lol
on a rainy day im gonna take the honey comb fan guards out of the case. i think they count for a lot of Degrees on my ship.

edit:
i think i know what you mean now... 6 fans all togeather yea ?
tha\ts certainly not a problem for my particular set up.

 

[Arthalen]

For best temps on the HE series, pull-pull. IE: On each Thermochill shroud stack a PAIR of fans pulling thru the rad, one fan attached to the other fan attached to the shroud attached to the rad. This has always produced better temps than push, push-pull, push-push, and pull on the HE range cores. Generally this would result in:

Grill/Guard > Fan > Fan > Rad > Case > Grill/Guard

This is straight off an FAQ for the Thermochill series Rads.

I was just thinking of swapping it around and have the air flow being pulled through the radiator by a dual set of fans (for a total of 4 fans, see), so that I could have the fans mounted internally with the rad external.

If I'm not making myself clear ( ), drop me a line. Email is on my profile.

 

[Arthalen]

Actually, RB, I've just looked at a picture in your original thread on your own case:

This Image

The wall of the case that the rear fans mount to is recessed deeper than where th I/O plate is on the motherboard, so it looks like there will be no problem in mounting dual fans.

Now that's answered, must researchthis case some more..... *dribble*... have I finally found what I'm looking for.

 

[R B Customs]

most local compuiter stores have this case in stock, go see if you can have a look at it in person. thats what i did !
but yea, theres deffo enought room for 2 fans on the inside.

 

[ChoÞÞer]

looking nice, hey RB do, you have a msn at all? i need to speak 2 you

 

[JunkBot]
