I love this side panel mod I did. Silverstone fan filters are awesome

thats a nice build there hood

does the heatsink fan work good?

id thought about doing that at one time but mounting was a problem.

 

Ya man works really good. Most x79 boards have problem with throttling when overclocking due to VRM overheating. Id start to throttle after about 10 runs in linx. Now I don't throttle after a full 20 runs on max ram setting. If you look close at the rear of my case behind and above the mobo and then at that fan you can see how I mounted it. Drilled it out with motherboard in to lol. Shop vac right beside the drill bit and careful as hell.:eek:

lol whats wrong with that ? Top fans are above the mounting spot for the h100i technically outside of the case but the switch 810 has a gap and then a top shield for room for more fans.

 

nothing wrong at all, im looking for a case that can hold a p/p completely internally

it is basically. u cant see the top fans at all. want me to post a pic. sigh lol. even without doing it my way u could fit push/pull completely internally. only reason i have it like this is because of that vrm fan. u can see the space between the board and the h100i fans is enough for another fan width.

I have that case and you CAN do p/p fully internal, however the rad has to be a slim 25-35mm one. Or you can throw fans on the outside, under the roof vent and run a 60mm rad and fans to p/p that way.

 

HOODedAssault - Very nice!! I'd say flip that rear 140mm fan to help with that VRM fan and H100i because you have non-reference 670's blowing exhaust directly out the rear instead of spreading heat all over the place. I like that you changed the ugly stock window panel with a fresh plexi. Good choice on the case!! ;)

I tried having the fan as intake on the back. Problem is I have it under my desk, as you can see from pics above, so heat goes out of the top and kind of spreads everywhere. So if its intake it just keeps recycling the heat. The side fans help a lot with the vrm and board temps. Brought my CPU temps down 7°C while gaming and GPU temps went down about 5°C at a slightly lower fan speed (custom curve). Cant tell vrm temps without probing. Wish you could kind of weak on Asus part. I could monitor them on the giga board I had. To bad it was a throttling piece of crap. I expected more from the h100i really. Figured it would handle a bit more than 1.3v. It did handle 1.35v but dropping in 1.65v ram made CPU temps go up 5°C so that brought it down to a 1.3v max to stay under 80°C while stress testing. I'll try a repaste this weekend and it that's a flop its xspc rx360 with d5 vario kit time along with heat killer vrm block and some dead water and a jug of distilled from wal mart lol.
