More fans equals more cool ! My personal motto.....

idk i think where that one will be placed may look horrible.

im just going to leave it for now. for very intensive GPU tasks, my gpu never got pased 90C

 

[COMPUTIAC]

I have no idea what the high end of temp's is for your GPU, hopefully it is in the manual you read ?
To me 90c is a whole lot of warm.

It is a known fact, heat:devil: kills electronic equipment prematurely, including nice new 'puters.

How about the link for the case ?

ill look on nvidias cite. lucky for me, theres a life time warranty..

heres case:
Athena Power CA-GSB01DA Black 0.8mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Newegg.com

 

[COMPUTIAC]

There is a lifetime warranty on what ?

Looks like there is room for a intake fan here:

 

[Britton30]

Yeah, intake up in front of the HDD cage.

 

[COMPUTIAC]

Yes, so why not put one in there ?
It's not ideal for cooling the GPU but, it will help.

I take that back, looks like the HDD cage is wide open and the airflow will go onto the GPU.

 

[Quadrider10]

i have a lifr time warrenty on the GPU

also i do have an 120mm intake there. i was talking about here rite in that corner. i would drill out 4 existing holes bigger.

 

[Quadrider10]

also max temp for my gpu is 100C nvidia says

 

[COMPUTIAC]

OK, in your pic's it did not show the fan in front.

Where you indicate in the above pic would be a good choice.

Add one or maybe two daisy chained and maybe speed controlled with a resistor.

Thermaltake AF0032 Thunderblade Clear LED Basic Fan - 120mm, Blue at TigerDirect.com

Or one of these and love the silence.

Here is the last case I used for my AMD 8350 build. I put 3 - 120mm fans in it. Front bottom & left side are intake. Rear top is blowing air out & the PSU blows out the rear bottom area. The pic is of the bare case when I first unpacked it out of the shipping carton.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

I built a rig for a buddy in the same case, it's quite a good value and feature packed case for the coin!

 

[COMPUTIAC]

My Fractal Define R4, has two front and one side intakes, 140mm each.
One upper rear and one in the front of two top openings, for exhaust, 140mm each.
Then the PSU is bottom mounted and exhausting to the rear.
All intakes have filters.

 

[Quadrider10]

alright so i might buy another intake fan then when i order my cooler. yea i shouldent have cheaped out on the case so much. but too late.

 

[COMPUTIAC]

Have you decided on a cooler yet ?

 

[Britton30]

Working with a "cheap" case will give you knowledge about what you will want for the next time.

 

[Quadrider10]

Lol I know. The case is actually quite old too. It still has floppy drives XP lol.

I'm still leaning towards the evo. I like the other one that was posted but I can't spend $40 on a cooler cause I still have to buy the fan.

 

[Quadrider10]

i cant wait till x-mass on tues and wed! L0L

 

[Quadrider10]

also do you guys have any recommendations for future upgrades?

so far i still have to buy my cooler.


and asa my friend buys a new GPU, i will be buying his 660Ti. also want a new HDD. thats about it for my list though.
