How's the fan controller/temp display working for you? I've got the older NZXT Sentry (dual bay) and as much as I love it, I'm going to sell it because of how much I dislike the temperature probes. Does yours use the same system?
Mine are prewired, but come with replacements and can be unplugged at the controller end. I'm planning a re-case and a modular PSU at some stage - then, I'll have to get the heatshrink and the thermal tape out and mount the probes properly. I've got mine with 3 fans on one channel (a Corsair RAM cooler), 2 on another (Noctua CPU cooler uses a pair) and individuals on the other three channels. The probes are paired to the fan channels, so I've got two on the CPU, one on the HDD cage, one on the middle RAM stick and one on the GPU - which results in a right rat's nest of wires. It's a nice bit of kit, I just wish it would take it's temperatures from the motherboard and not from these shoddy probes...
As awesome a build as that is, I can't bring myself to like the HAF 922. It's just a kind of ugly case to me. And I use an M59, which is no looker. Internally, however, it's immaculate. I just don't like the HAF's face. Or head. Or sides.
Ha ha! I have the M59 as well! The good: Great value for money Painted interior Double top air vents & side vent Smoked side panel Pretty blue/green lights Easy to assemble Good cable management The bad: Looks are most certainly not to everyone taste (but its grown on me like an ugly girlfriend with a nice personality) Cannot install a optical drive in the top slot if you have to mounted fans Front fan directs air directly into drive cage I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants high end features at a low cost, and can handle the styling - back to the topic in hand - did the rebuild have any effects on case/gpu/cpu temps?
My notes in Green. Another thing I like about the M59 is that there is a dust filter in the floor for the PSU intake fan. That's a nice thought, even if the other fan mounts could do with filters too. I was originally going to mount the PSU with the fan facing up, but it decided that I wasn't allowed to do that. Shame, really, as the 24 pin and 8 pin connectors for the mobo and CPU are on the edge of the PSU (modular), and as such I lose about and inch or two of extra cable to cleanly route away.
What is your water cooling by the way? Might seem obvious but I'm new to this water cooling business beside sticking a Corsair H50 to my CPU.
Water cooling allows crazy people like the ones on bit-tech to bring their cpus and gpus closer to room temperature. This allows us more head room for overclocking and bragging rights at lan parties. basically you're killing three birds with one stone here. *Sorry if this is hijacking your thread
Sorry I guess I didn't make myself clear, I'm aware of watercooling is but not of the actual pumps and everything and wanted to know what the TC was using is his since it fitted nicely into his PC and I have the same case.
Oh how I wish my board would allow me to overclock the CPU Those temps are beautiful by the way. +rep
I've been thinking about getting a 240 rad myself. Currently I have a big E150 heater core on top of my PC, it looks pretty ghetto. The temperatures have me in a function over fashion mode. Coca-Cola include for size reference. (I'm posting links so I don't clog up your thread) Heater Core Nessary Screenshot
