I did mine blow through style

Let me just say the complaints on these U-NAS cases are deserved what pieces of shit. one of my brackets was totally mis-stamped in the sheet metal pressing machine at the factory. the cover damn near needs a mallet to get on and off. i’m no newb, i know how to use a welder, cut off wheel, blow torch, whole saw and soldering iron. i’m not be a genius but, i thought it was just newbs complaining about these cases. [20201013_205301] With all the hubub on various chipset temps gettting hot, i decided to kill 2 birds with 1 stone after staring at a gap on the PCB. [20201013_205859] Seems to fit! [20201013_205908] [20201013_205918] Fits well no binding on fan blades! HOWEVER it does cover an inductor. hopefully it doens’t get too hot or warm. as globed on a ton 'o hot glue to stick this bad boy in. [20201013_205925] [20201013_220136] oh god the damn bracket! [20201013_224423] at first i thought the rectangle tabs were too wide and phat, which may have been true but, soon i’d see it still wouldn’t line up. [20201013_224507] What you DON’T see is like 10mm of mini washers between the bracket and the case! That how far the holes for those mobo mounting studs were!!! i paid FULL price for this case! it was NOT cheap! [20201014_210258] With the board mounted up i wanted to see how i’d cool the raid controller [20201014_210331] 1st step is speed holes in the back! [20201014_210336] you can just see the samsung 970 Evo Pro. the more holes the better the temps [20201115_210914] now we can MOVE the air! plenty of hot glue unfortunately. if you had a spot welder you could completely tear down the case and maybe spot weld a tiny internal metal tab and stick or glue or strap the fan in that way. [20201115_213436] righter over the ram and part of the heat sink. [20201115_213443] This is why i keep old laptop cooling fans. wouldn’t mind finding some newer/new ones for cheap. so you’d not installing something with so many miles clocked on it. [20…
