Case Mod Questions

I just looked at the pages now that the load properly, and it looks like that sata cable does glow by itself, may be a good purchase

sycthye kama bay

Great idea! Then I'd just have to move the HDD to the bottom lol, Thanks Taylor!

 

[Kornowski]

lol, Could do, I'm just looking at 120mm fans for the scythe, it comes with one, but it only moves 33cfm...

 

[taylormsj]

Not necessarily so, just throw out the HDD no one realy needs one that much tbh

 

[Kornowski]

Yeah, guess you're right, it is just wasting space isn't it!

What fan do you think, one that isn't too expensive please

This looks ok, not much different to the Scythe S-FLEX 1200rpm fan and half the price!

That has a pretty good CFM - DBa - Price ratio, but if you want better cooling you can get a 93 CFM fan off tekheads for £5 which i bought - but its a bit loud

try to sand blast the inside (taken apart) then prime it, paint it, they lightly sand it again then paint it again

If you want a great paint job then you should add a clear coat

 

[Kornowski]

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll take a look on Teckheads.

Thanks Beast!

EDIT: Is it this fan Taylor?

I was after something that was either blue or green with a great CFM

Would that be worth putting on my NB? Would it fit?

 

[taylormsj]

Yes but IMO its rubbish, it has a small fan wich neraly no air and it sticks onto the northbridge with the supplied tape, no push pins, so you can even use AC 5 with it, id steer clear of that for sure

 

[Kornowski]

I guess, and I have an 80mm fan right next to it, I supose...

Is that fan on the pevious page the one you got for £5? Is it any good?
Thanks man!

 

[taylormsj]

Yeh that is the fan, and it moves a lot of air, but its louder than the average case fan

 

[Kornowski]

Ah, that's Ok, I can live with that!

You think it'd be better than what I have at the moment?

 

[taylormsj]

Where would you be placing the fan?

 

[Kornowski]

In the Sythe Kama Bay cooler

 

[taylormsj]

It has triple the airflow of the supplied fan on the kama, need i say more

 

[Kornowski]

Seriously, three times more!? Wow

Shame it doesn't have LED's Eh!

Can you run that at 100% all the time, or does it adjust it's own speed according to the temperature?
