[Mullet]

I bought one of those and have no clue how to adjust the rpm. If you figure it out please let me know

@ai_01 - nope internal mate....PA120.3

@markkleb - is that right bud, the supporting description hints at fan control too...

 

[Mullet]

Forgot to mention....

what lighting would keep things lookingh subtle without detracting from that sheer sexeh classy look!!

 

[markkleb]

I really like these, they last longer, make less heat, are smaller (less messy wiring)

Thanks Mark

What about colour? Would plain white leds look good? Also, would UV dye detract from the build? Am honestly thinking of white leds only??? Any thoughts guys?? Remember what u say counts!!!!

 

[llwyd]

a very subtle blue would look nice

Has anyone got experience of using these:

Do they restrict airflow?

Can anyone (looking towards Ayd here @ ST) post up a decent piccy this.

 

[markkleb]

Yes its restrictive, here is a company that shows the amount of air that can pass through the perforations. its listed as %open area

Technically ANYTHING in front or behind the fan reduces its flow (even air)

Right - updates/more pics in the pipeline for next week.

My EK blocks will be with me on Tuesday/Wednesday.....and my 2nd GTX will be here before Wednesday...

ROCK ON

 

[Mullet]

OK lads...

Looks like my 8800GTX blocks will be with me (looks to Ayd) before the end of the week. Can I pick ya brains re. thermal compounds to apply to the 8800GTX RAM and GPU? I was gonna use AS5 for both....but have read on a few sites that I should use ceramique on the RAM and AS5 on the GPU??? Can you let me know what I should use??

Thanks

 

[ai_01]
