    Talk about a bunch of girls, my two front fans are rated at 52db and they are humming away next to me loud and proud:D

    Why have fans running at 50dB pushing 20cfm when you can get fans that put out 18dB and 40cfm ;)

    I think you should get an EvoStream PSU... rated at 55dB. From the far side of a gaelic pitch. Two counties away lol.gif Then come back here and call us a bunch of girls while we try to keep straight faces watching all the blood gushing out of your ears! finger.gif

    I'm starting to think that the great airflow on my pc is actually becoming a general hinderance...

    You see, it's very cold in my house atm, we're yet to get the heating oil! And i really and truly believe that my pc has created a bit of a draft... Ever since installing the two new fans my temps on my Q6700 @ 2.66ghz with an AKASA has been 26-27 degrees. The temp of the air out of my two exhausts is not cool... IT'S COLD!!!

    Greater airflow may be good for performance...

    But wait until you get pneumonia!!!

    Tell me about.My computer is across the room (probably about 10ft or so) and when I turn it on I can feel a breeze lol

    Running at 23 degrees has is disadvantages lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,983 ✭✭✭leninbenjamin


    lol Effluo, that's because you're using the wrong components.

    me oul HAF can be the same, particularly if there's a window open you can literally feel the breeze going to the PC. But sure all i do then is just start my i7 doing some FFTs and it turns into a heater. :D

    very nice setup.

    how much did you pay for the V10 though? great coolers but damn pricey!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 425 ✭✭WillieDH


    It was about 120 euro in peats in newbridge.

    Got all my parts there except for memory and psu which i got at Komplett, well I had the 4890 and xfi sound already.

    My kids ended up with my old rig

    Q6600, 4GB, 500GB, Falal1ty IN9 motherboard, Vista Ultimate

    i suggest you put the plastic on the inside, will look more "factory"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,942 ✭✭✭Mac daddy


    Looks nice WillieDH :)

    All my I7 kit is moving house from my Silverstone TJ07 into my corsair obsidian 800 as soon as I have finished chopping it up, need to order up a third radiator and more tubing for this case.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 18,382 Mod ✭✭✭✭Solitaire


    He went with a non-standard shape and did it damn well. Ergo, it looks "factory" :P

    Only reason to attach the plexi to the inside is if you don't have the tools or skills to make it look 1337 in its own right; if its a quality job it'll look factory regardless of how you attach it ;)

    I prefer the slightly more industrial look of having it outside myself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 680 ✭✭✭Leman_Russ


    V Nice work Guys :)

    I myself and building a new Rig here in a couple of weeks based off a CM Storm Scout case, though I am considering ripping out the LED fans and replacing them with Good Fans :P
    Might get some White LEDs or Tubes for the inside, as I see way too many Red/Black and Blue/Black cases nowadays, and after seeing how cool the Xigmatek Dark Knight looks with its white LED, I am sold on the White/Black Combo :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46 rgdaxter


    awesome case. I got the cooler master 932!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,787 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Papu, that's a nice mod, I was thinking of doing something similar myself. My case has like a chicken wire effect on the side door with no plastic covering it. Did putting on the plexi make much of a difference to the noise coming off the pc? Luckily I wouldn't have to do any shaping, it must have been tricky getting the plexi to that shape?

    Jealous of all the new fangled builds around. Keep getting tempted to upgrade but there's absolutely zero reason...everything I play runs perfectly fine at high-max settings.

    At the moment..still the Armour Case. E8600@4Ghz, 4Gb Ram, 1Gb 4890 Vapor X, P5ND 750i, 750w PC P&C Silencer PSU...

    If I could choose one upgrade, it'd be case. I really hate it.

    Oh...and I need a fan controller big time. At the moment it makes me sad to admit yes, all 4 led fans are....Akasa. :o
