Re: Project Silent but Violent

How do you find those s flexs. I am thinking of buying some 800rpm 135mm kama flexs for a similarish build. Hard to find reviews so assuming the s flexs perform similarly to the kama flexs (just an increase in size) how do you find them noise wise?

Re: caviar black with himuro ... would it be quiet!?

The only problem is, is that SSDs are still a little out of my budget, I don't require a massive performance boost would just like a slight one.

Thanks for you reply though.

meansizzler how have you managed to mount the Hr03 "upside" down. On all installs I have seen of graphics cards the cooler always faces towards the bottom of the case. Also as someone asked above how many slots does this cooler with a standard 25mm take up!?

Thanks in advance

haha, I just found that and came on here to post it and see what other people thought! You're right it does keep the clean look intact, just a shame it doesn't come with a 14cm fan on the bottom of the case were it would be out of sight but more importantly wouldn't have a direct path to my ears. ED...

Has no one done this yet!?

Has no manufacturer made a case with a plain front, just LED for HDD, power on button, plus some bays for a couple of optical drives, sides and top completely plain, no vents or fans/fan bays? Cooling would be via fans on back (exhaust) and bottom(intake), plus a vent on the bottom for air to enter ...

cpu and GFX temperatures

Really nice looking build. Just interested to know what temperatures you are getting on idle and load with passive cooling for cpu and GFX (it looks like your graphics card is passively cooled ... is it?). Also the rear fan is that intake or exhaust?

Thanks for the replies, very helpful! Might have a go at silencing the hard drive, getting rid of the side fans and changing the cpu fan!

You can fit a 360mm radiator to a FT02

I have also been looking at going for water cooling for a while. I really like the look of the FT02 and discovered that you can fit a 360mm radiator to it, there is a radiator bracket in the accessories box when you buy it. I found a guide on installing watercooling in a RV02, which has an identical...

cable management

I have the same case as you and I have an absolute nightmare with the cables. Looking at how neat your cables are I now know what my problem is, my optical drive is really long for some reason. Really nice build and must be way quieter than mine lol. I'll have to buy a new optical drive and see if I...
