As you lovely people just wont stop commenting, I feel obligated to post another Update:
Aditional Components:
(that i bought)
Case: Cooler Master NR 600
Cheap Case that has the GamersNexus Airflow approval and more than 2 Drive Bays. (It has 3 Bays and one Vertical Rubber mount)
Initial Experience:
- Positive:
- My Air Cooler Fits! (it is 160mm high and the case advertises 166mm of clearance
) - Nice to build in
- Lots of space inside the rear side panel for cables
- Few airflow restrictions
- Both side Panels stay in place with or without screws (handy for Temperature/ Noise Testing)
- Front IO is on the top of the case and thus easier to reach for me
- My Air Cooler Fits! (it is 160mm high and the case advertises 166mm of clearance
- Negative:
- The included fans: One is so loud, it is unusable and the other is a little louder than my Silent wings 2.
- The drive Cage/ The drive Mounts transfer the Virbations to the case (I can feel them when touching the case and the drives are plugged in)
- No front dust filter
PSU: Be Quiet Pure Power 600 80+ Gold
Got it used for 60€
Yes I know im living dangerous but it was bought only two months ago and i have the reciept → Have Warranty for ages.
To Do’s:
- Buy a few 120mm fans
- so that i can throw away the 2 crappy ones
- currently thinking about buying the Arctic P12 as they get glowing reviews on youtube and I can get the 5 Pack of PWM Fans for 34€
- Then i can put 3 in the front, one in the Back, one replaces the loud fan on my GTX 1050ti and the 140 silent wings goes in the top of the case.
- Also gonna experiment with ways to quiet down the Harddrives in the drive cage. No idea how that’ll turn out.
