dlewis23 Posted January 7, 2011 CID Share Posted January 7, 2011 Whats up with the no rear case fan? Your not really getting any air out of the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted January 7, 2011 Author CID Share Posted January 7, 2011 Whats up with the no rear case fan? Your not really getting any air out of the case. Yeah, that has a story. It had a fan once, but it died. And I didn't buy a replacement. I am planning on replacing it with a Red one, more than likely.

TriRan Posted January 8, 2011 CID Share Posted January 8, 2011 nice there ebrown! i'll post some pics later of my rig ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriRan Posted January 8, 2011 CID Share Posted January 8, 2011 here are a few pictures i took with my camera on my phone so bare with me lol also the one of my video card isn't very good it barely shows it i apologize! i'm just to lazy to take another picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted January 8, 2011 Author CID Share Posted January 8, 2011 TriRan, what case is that? It looks pretty BA. And what heatsink is that as well? I just ordered an 80mm Blue Fan for the rear exhaust, and a 120mm Red Fan for another intake on the side. I am getting a piece of plexiglass soon, so I will be making a window for my case.

TriRan Posted January 8, 2011 CID Share Posted January 8, 2011 the case is the coolermaster CM690 it's sort of a budget case but with great cable management and the CPU cooler is the sycthe katana 3 the cpu cooler was funny it didn't come with english instructions everything was in japanese good thing its not hard to install them this system is definately not starved for air though those are 120mm fans running 4 intake and 3 exhaust. the case can hold 140mm fans but they were a lot more expensive >.< gotta save the pennies where you can i guess to splurge on things like ram cpu MB and video card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted January 8, 2011 Author CID Share Posted January 8, 2011 Yeah, I just ordered two fans for mine. Should give much more airflow. I was thinking of betting a better cooler for my CPU, although this one seems to be doing fine. Thanks, EBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriRan Posted January 9, 2011 CID Share Posted January 9, 2011 yeah some stock coolers do fine but i knew off the bat stock wouldn't suffice going near the 4GHz mark which is what i had in mind for this system all along i could probably go higher if i had a cooler like the H50 but i don't, maybe my next build will include that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriRan Posted January 9, 2011 CID Share Posted January 9, 2011 frio looks awesome although i think i'd still go with the H50 for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nanobot Posted January 10, 2011 Author CID Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well, besides me hating Intel, it seems to look pretty good. If you wanted to save money, you should go with a Phenom II X6, as you can get a 6-Core 2.8Ghz for less than that i7. I was looking into a case like that as well. Seemed to have what I needed.

TriRan Posted January 10, 2011 CID Share Posted January 10, 2011 lol i know i could i actually prefer AMD myself it's just the I7's are o'cing better then the x6's atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted January 12, 2011 Author CID Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yeah, that has a story. It had a fan once, but it died. And I didn't buy a replacement. I am planning on replacing it with a Red one, more than likely. Thanks, EBrown Well, I just got my Blue 80mm Fan and Red 120mm Fan today, once I get my glass and get it mounted I will have more pictures. (My Green and Red fans look ugly right now due to being zip-tied instead of mounted.) I Overclocked my Athlon II a little farther, up to 3.75Ghz now. I am gonna see if I can get it to 3.9. I am not betting that I can, but I am really hoping towards it. Thanks, EBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriRan Posted January 13, 2011 CID Share Posted January 13, 2011 you might try a burn in with sandra to see if it'll be stable ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted January 13, 2011 Author CID Share Posted January 13, 2011 you might try a burn in with sandra to see if it'll be stable ^^ I play Medal of Honor or Bad Company 2 or Black Ops for 45 minutes to see if it's stable.

TriRan Posted January 13, 2011 CID Share Posted January 13, 2011 thats not exactly a burn in though but BC2 would put some strain on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
