Sweet! I love how the two color lighting works out. Are the white cable sleeves UV reactive?

I looked extensively into adding a 2nd fan for my Hyper 212+, but almost all tests resulted in either no change in temps, or a 2-3 degree change. This always resulted in more noise. I once saw an explanation about how the outlet fan had to perfectly match the intake fan, otherwise air builds up inside the cooler. This perfect matching did not mean two equal fans, but rather an outlet fan that best suited the intake. It would take a lot of testing with multiple fans, only to achieve little, and increase noise.

I had no decrease in temp by adding the 2nd fan Bill. I think the 2nd one will help lower the need for a high static pressure fan on the "push" side, maybe, I have no way to test other than temps. On my current system I have a Hyper 212 EVO with a 120MM pusher and 140MM puller, both Noctuas at full speed. I'm not real sensitive to noise, but these seem quiet to me.
On my new Saber Tooth set up I'm working on there are two 35MM "assist" fans that attach to the armor on the board. I was stressing the system and those little %%#^%&'s went over 7000RPM, that was a bit noticeable, a high pitched whine.
Crap at idle they are ~4000RPM, but quiet.
I've never heard my 35mm fans at all because if they spool up wide open, that means another fan is spooled up too and it will drown out the noise. I currently have them turned off....I don't know if they do anything at all.
Great job, Juan. That looks great. I love how you did the Samsung SSD. Outstanding work. Congratulations.
Mad props Juan on another killer rig and as an original Star Wars fan a special shout out for the case graphics !
Keep up the pictures as you know how we love em !
Cheers, Alan
