3000rpm Ultra Kaze Fans

[Damien c]

first time forum poster and i have to say that was a totally awesome review

one thing i dont think you covered (unless i somehow missed it) is how well do 38mm fans fit in the top section with a 60mm rad? im fairly sure i could run one set of fans but could i run scythe ultra kaze's in push-pull? (yes i know they are not very quiet but i dont really care about being quiet )
im fairly sure i cant but its worth asking

im definitely going to get one - we cant get caselabs cases in australia without spending wayy too much money (about $200+ shipping) so it wasnt a very hard decision to buy this case when it comes out

Welcome to the forum!

There is 110mm of space from the top of the case to the top of the motherboard, so you will be able to get a 60mm thick rad and a 38mm thick fan in there, but you won't be able to do push/pull with them.

If you want to go push/pull then drop down to around a 35mm thick rad and you may just may be able to squeeze it in with push/pull, however if you are going to use the fans (1900rpm+) I think you are then you won't need push/pull on a 60mm thick rad as the fans, will be more than capable of pushing or pulling enough air over the rad fins to keep the temps down.

thanks for the welcome

yeah i know with low fpi rads high rpm 38mm fans are not really needed (especially in pushpull) but i already have 3X 3k ultra kaze's on my rx360 and thought pushpull would look badass with it

i think ill just add more rad instead

Just curious, what sort of difference in temps do you get using those fans at full speed and reduced say down to 5v?

When I buy this case, I will be giving my dad my current case with all the watercooling kit in it, as I will be buying new rad's, pump's, res's and fans etc so that I can have everything brand new and looking as good as possible, including a new PSU so I can use those Corsair Braided cables instead of the extension cables I am currently using.

Also I am tempted to find someone who could powder coat the case, and do some cutting and create a stealth plate for the front for me, so many ideas and no skill with metal work tools is my issue.

not sure of voltage (as i use a fan controller) but yeah there isnt much difference from about 1600rpm-3000 rpm (which i guess is more like 7v-12v) but it really depends on the air temperature - i live in australia so when its 40+ degrees sometimes running at 3000rpm helps keep the temps down when at 5Ghz

i really seriously thought about building a complete new system but if i did i might cut corners because i wouldnt be able to afford all the things i want (well not in a hurry anyways)
im planning on gradually upgrading though, i want 2 of those new koolance pmp500 pumps - a 480 black ice extreme gtx (for high rpm fans) and a new xspc rx360 (for low rpm fans) so i can have quiet and massive cooling at the same time as well as one of those 400mm liquid fusion reservoirs

my current system started as one of those thermaltake case and watercooling systems in one (TT kandalf lcs) but over the years i have completely changed everything and modded the crap out of the case to fit it all - i prefer doing things gradually so i can afford to get exactly what i want

i plan on also making the front stealthy looking - i even got cogs going around in my head trying to figure out if i can stealth the whole front of the case (so it looks like there isnt any 5.25 bays at all - i dont use them)

i have seen a few reviewers now say that not having a fan controller built in is a negative thing - personally i see it as a positive thing (as does tom it seems) as theres no way im going to use some inbuilt crappy fan controller over my scythe kaze server or planned corsair link/commander fan controller

i built a system a few weeks ago around the nzxt phantom 410 and i thought that the fan controller was utterly useless, its much better nowdays with low powered fans to just have them connected to the motherboard and have the bios control them imo
