They SP120`s are more designed for radiators.

Air Series SP120 PWM High Performance Edition High Static Pressure Fan Twin Pack - Air Series Fans - Cooling

Are you replacing your radiator fans, or case fans?

 

[AddRAM]

I`ll be replacing case fans, but not yet.

so I made my own side window out of acrylic. took me all of an hour to cut it out, drill holes, and put it on. it looks damn better than what I had before! the only bad thing is that since I got rid of the side fan, my temps went up on my CPU... by about 5C, so I was forced to lower my clock to 4.4GHz instead of my 4.5. but owell. I dident notice any difference in FPS. but on the plus, my case is much quieter, and looks nicer.

I ordered some blue cold cathos to put in my case, so im waiting for those in the mail and as soon as they come and I get everything working, ill post a before and after pic.

i think this is the last time i buy an open card. id rather a blower style card. this one is just too big and produces to much heat. my CPU never hit 48C before at 4.5 playing for hrs. now im hitting 56C at 4.4 while playing CPU and GPU intensive games. it just bothers me casuse my fan revs up higher now. sucks, but owell.

Do you have the CPU set to run at 4.4 all the time? And where are the pics of the new side windows? :sarc:

Yeah noober, you can't come on the "SHOW" us your rig thread and not show a pic of your work!

 

[AddRAM]

Ya, it`s not the "Complain about your rig" thread LOL

I never noticed any higher temps with my EVGA GTX760 with the ACX cooling, but I just went with the blower style cooler on the 770.

lol ill post up a pic once its all complete and less ghetto rigged....... but yea it just messed up the cooling so bad! and no, I have cool n' quiet turned on. so it can idle down. its just that all the heat from the GPU rises straight up and then is sucked in through the rad. so its hot air going through the rad and making my temps higher.

How`s this ?

Patrick your rear fan should be exhaust to pull the GPU heat out along with front intakes to help it along. I'll have my rad at the top as intake to pull in the coolest air possible.

my cpu is exhaust. unfortunally I cant put the rad anywhere else cause it will interfere with other stuff

Pics would help us help you mate. I cleaned my rig and tried to tidy the cables some more. Added a fan to help keep the dragon cool.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Dude, that MSI mobo is wicked cool !

 

[ganjiry]

Looking good Doug, nice 1 chap

You can always mount the rear fan outside the case if you are having space problems. It won't affect the cooling but will give more room inside the case. Positive air flow is the difference maker.

Thanks guys. Thats a great idea Steve, gonna do that in just a few minutes.
