Update Pics

Last post

Three main updates since my last post:

1)I noticed that my top 25mm NF was pulling less air that the 15mm. After looking closely it was clear that this was due to a gap between the top grill and the fan caused by the anti-vibration pad. I removed the pads on both fans and the gap essentially disappeared and there is much better air flow now.

2)Also my PC kept shutting down after heavy load for extended periods, I used OCCT to track this down to the power supply. I realized that by making top fans intake I was restricting PSU airflow which exhausts upwards. This was fixed by flipping the fan in the PSU so that it intakes through top and exhausts out back. No problems since.

3)I wasn't too happy with my GPU temps and investigation showed that the gap below the GPU and fans allowed some hot air to circulate in the bottom of the case. To make sure that all heat left the bottom of the case I added some ducts/converters at the bottom of the case. They are 120 to 140 and lucky me I had used one of each sizes of those fans. If you have two 120mm you kind of have to 3D print something, I looked for hours before even finding this TL:DR 1)Removed top fan gap by removing gaskets 2)Flipped PSU fan to prevent overheat 3)Added GPU air ducts to improve fresh air flow

Coming Soon: Looking into a top mounted radiator and benchmarks OTW
