Looks like a pretty solid rig. How does the new Thermaltake A1 perform?
Any temp data?
What have you done with the original Antec tri-cools?
It looks like you have zip-tied the smart fan 2 to a 12cm fan frame - Is that from the Antec tricool?

Here is a pic of what I did to mount my 90mm Tt Smart Fan 2 (Hong Sheng) fan.

I used 4 Zip-ties from a Pound shop to mount the fan in position with foamy draught excluder material between the fan and the case.

the A1 performs amazingly.. i can run the upper body of the p180 without any fans but i dont feal safe with out any fans...

thats speedfan right now on idle... the temps are -3C compaired to bios to add 3C to that and it goes up 3C on load

out of all the old tri-cools the one thats blowing on the video card is the only one left(wich i modded with a sensor) ... the body that the thermaltake is attached to (is just used to get the fan away from the fan grill) is another tri-cool and i forget what hapend to the last one... ( i problily threw it across the room at disappointment at how loud it was (made my ears ring))

see the image thingy doesnt work

The image thingy isn't working because you're not entering the correct URL for your pictures. If you look at your photobucket page, it's got the URL's listed. For instance, the one you tried should've been:

Code: Select all

And that gives you:
