Hey Redironman.. I've just seen your thread today.. This case is symply the best isn't it?.. A couple of things: you may consider the noctua NF-P12 as your processor heatsink fan (static pressure) And for fan speed control you might want this: http://www.scythe-eu.com/en/products/pc-accessory/kaze-s...

I have the p5q-em which is the updated G45 version of the board and according to the tech support on Asus forums the MB temperature sensor is close to the CPU fan header area. So it's not the Northbridge or SB temp. My MB temps are low 50's. Thanks mate, just did some research on the Asus forums on...

"Fans speed control workaround" picture added.

since you are working with negative case pressure... what if you cut a 120mm hole in the bottom of the case, with the fan blowing out the hole, instead of blowing air towards the video card? you'd probably have to get another fan in order to reverse the mounting, and maybe create a bit of short duc...

So are these fans any good in terms of their cooling power to noise ratio? Or more specifically, compared to a standard 120mm fan, at the same (low) noise level, does it push more air in (A) open air and (B) under restriction such as in front of a radiator or heatsink? Even informal feedback would ...

That's a really good idea to route the drive cables out the drive bay and down the front. I never would have thought of that in a million years. You know, you could save yourself a lot of trouble with the two hard drive situation by just getting a single 1TB drive. Also, seriously consider one of t...

Looks pretty sweet. Have you thought about doing the behind the tray cable routing mods that Krick did? If you are going to cut out the fan grills, you will need to remove all your components anyway, so you could do that at the same time. It could really help with your cable management. An alternat...

Is your CPU getting that hot that you NEED extra ventilation? Mine sure isn't and I've got it overclocked to 3.4GHz... CPU temps are acceptable I guess but when playing the whole main chamber becomes pretty hot, cpu (cores) a little over 60, gpu around 68 and, my main concern, the motherboard temp ...

Due to the cable routing and airflow issues, I really recommend going with a full SATA drive setup if possible. PATA ribbon cables just don't cut it in this case. Are you using a PWM fan on your CPU heatsink? I'm very happy with mine, it only ramps up under load. I know that cable is ugly, I'll som...

Hi krick, just wanted to say THANKS.. I made a rig very similar to yours, but not yet as nice.. I hope you can maybe give some tips in the thread I just opened about this case for gaming..

Hi everyone! this is my first post in the forum. First of all I would like to thank all the people who share their rigs, pictures, opinions and answer to others' questions. My rig was Inspired by Krick's nsk3480. I'm not finish with it but i've already done some modifications to the components. This...
