Dallanar Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I finished removing my lower hard drive cage and got to thinking, why not add another fan where it sat so I did. I will likely pull it back out and just place a metal fan grill over it to increase the air flow into the fan. I have it set as an intake to help cool the air brought in by the 140 Radiator fan that is drawing air from the bottom through the radiator. http://forum.corsair.com/forums/album.php?albumid=32&pictureid=176 Even with the fan in place I still have enough roon to add a 140 Rad and fan in the area where the cage was.

gutcheck Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Will the fan be able to get any air after you put the front bezel back on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallanar Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 I looked after I placed the filter on and there is about 1/4 " with the filter so I am changing the filter to an aluminum filter for a flush mount. There is actually quite a bit of room underneath the bezel, enough to put your hand in so 1/2" to 3/4" and the air can draw from the bottom of the bezel. So I am switching to one of the below to allow for more airflow intake. The cavity is actually quite large when you look at it and pull the bezel off. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=25850 or this http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1830 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutcheck Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 You do realize if this works you are a genius. Can you tell us the temp difference with the fan on and off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallanar Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 I still have a hole to cut for my 140 fan on the bottm before I can start adding my stuff into the case but after I finish up I will run a sensor down to the area and see what the difference in temp is above the rad.
