Dwindleflip Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I have 6 HDs, and I find that they cool best when the cages are stacked rather than in the default side by side configuration. Would it be better to have SP140s as intakes to blow over the cages than the af140s that come with the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 it will always be better to use sp fans when having to blow thru restrictions such as hdd's.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwindleflip Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Well I've got two SP140s now in the front. I cant say its made any difference at all. The only difference i can tell seems to be on paper in the spec sheet but the real world effect is about the same for me. Perhaps worse than the af140 due to what the spec sheets claim in cfm. The LEDS on them are very nice though. I'm going to add an AF140 led to the exhaust to match. Nice fans.. just dont think theres really a difference at all. The biggest issue seems to be the terrible restricted airflow on the 750d intake. From what I understand corsair maybe addressing the front plate cover issue with a more air flow friendly planel that matches the case style. I hope it comes out soon and it also has a different air filter design to show off the fans nicer. I've added an intake 120 to the bottom of the case, that brought down the mb temps 8c. Not bad. (I tried two intake fans on bottom no benefit over just using 1) The cpu temps are still the same. I'm exhausting out the top with an h100i in push. Tempted to try intake in from the top just to compair or maybe intake from the rear and exhaust out the top. Main reason is my msi nvidia card doesnt have the standard blower cooler on it.
