Sorry man, It was my mistake.

I edited the post with the correct pictures.

Hello RafAMD, welcome to Se7en Forums!


Nice, convenient setup you have there; it needs a good dusting out though, eh?

Hello all.


I just finished adding a Tuniq Tower 120 to my system; the rest of the system specs can be viewed at the bottom left of this post at "My System Specs".

That's the the ASUS HSF I took off in the background.

The roung knob on the front is the Tuniq fan speed control, I put it on the front as I didn't like the idea of having to reaching around back of the machine to adjust the fan speed (it was made to go into an expansion slot).

I hate to point this out to you mate, but you have your tuniq facing the wrong direction.

Ted... surly the air from that cooler is being pushed out the rear of the case my friend..??

i have no experience with this cooler, but i know it has a 120mm fan hidden inside.. which should be facing the rear, not sure about the fin direction ....but airflow should be heading to the rear.........

This is the way it should be orientated (my own comp).

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Thanks guys, but I oriented it that way purposely so that the two 140mm fans in the top, as opposed to the one 120mm at the rear could exhaust the heat (heat rises, right) and it seems to be working as it has brought my temps down, on average (idle and load) at least 20c. uummm Swarfega, if that is the correct orientation, why is the writing on the face turned the wrong way?

Have another look at the writing on mine, it's correct.

[swarfega]

The orientation of the writing is not what you go by. Its the orientation of the fan inside since the fan should be blowing its air straight at the rear exaust fan.

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

It's blowing the hot air straight at the TWO 140s in the top as opposed to the ONE 120 at the rear; how does this not make sense?

Thank you for your opinion though.

fairly poor video of how to install one.

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

I don't need a video on how to install one; it's installed and is working very good thank you.

[skunksmash]

right .....i see what you've done Ted , yes heat does rise & with the PSU on the deck it makes just as much sense to vent it out the top...


doesn't it Swarf....

Thanks SK.

Ted's build is perfectly fine for his machine - his case has the PSU at the bottom of the case, so you do not have to worry about the heat exhaust from the cooler overheating the PSU.

However, Ted, you do have to realize that you are changing the airflow direction, unless you have a side door with vents / fan to allow cool air directly in over the motherboard. I think that that may have been part of Swarf's concern as well.

At any rate, it is your build, and if it works, it works. Nothing else can be said about it.

 

[JulesAndAl]

pretty nice system there jules.. not sure why you said it's ok, gets the job done. sounds like a pretty beefy system to me..

Well, I'd definitely like to get into an i7/X58 setup, but as of right now that will have to wait

Also. I have a T240 also. amazing monitors huh?? i love mine

Yep, the T240 seems to be nice so far, I bought it to replace my dead 2232GW (22 inch Samsung)

I'm with you Ted, your way looks very logical to me and I would have done it the same way if I had your case.

Stop being a bully and leave the kid alone Swarfega Jk.

Hello all.


Yes I have another 140mm fan on the side door blowing in on the mobo, all the other fans are venting out.

Specs below. These pictures are horrible, I'll have to setup some real lighting and get new ones done soon. Here's a tease..?
