Ello folks,
as a couple of peeps have mentioned it i thought its about time i posted some pics of my rig. its not anything special but i have learned a lot while building it. i had never had or used a pc b4 2 years ago 😞 so i payed a shop £850 to build me a pc which had these specs,
coolermaster elite 335
ezcool 100w infinity psu
asus M4N68T M LE V2
Athlon II x4 640 3.0GHz
xfx 6850 dual fan
2x4GB xms3 1600c9
obviously i wasnt too happy with it but it did for the time being. 3months later i decided to start upgrading a bit at a time.
since then ive rebuilt 3 times in 3 different case, basically everything has been changed 3 times lol even my perifials and the only original part is the a ram but that is gonna be gone in a couple of days 😄
so this is where im at now. Remember noob when it comes to pc's.
Edit: i did upload 7 pics but only one come through. i'll go check the forum faq for how to get the others done

thanks

Hi, ganji,
I was one of those who suggested you to post your system's pics here... 😄 I had a good reason for that juggestion, since you posted something in your previous thread (http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?15045-which-fans-work-well-on-H100/page2) which attracted my attention - just it wasn't related to that subject. So, hope you don't mind... 😄

"i recently turned the fans round on my H50 to intake just to see the difference in temps.
with push/pull intake = idle 36/38c, load(intel burn test) 49/52c
push pull exhaust idle 34/36c load(IBT) 45/48c"
The thing which is interesting to me is that outside the case is always lower temperature then inside (max, in optimal conditions is the same). Then turning the H50's to intake (and allowing to suck cooler or the same temp air from outside), how you got higher temps?!
I think the answer is hiding in the overall airflow in your case... If you're setting up the front and bottom fans as intakes and having the top and rear (on the rad) ones as exhausts, then you have a pretty equilibrated, maybe slightly negative pressurized case. Not sure, if you have the version of Corsair 500R with the side fan, and if that side fan is intaking or exhausting... If it is an exhaust, then you definitely have a negatively pressurized case. Inversely, if it is an exhaust, perhaps will be a positively pressurized case. Both of them could be OK, that's not a problem!
What I'm thinking is that, when you turned the H50's radiator fans as intakes, you may off-balanced the overall airflow. As i said, otherwise is not possible (at least I can not imagine) to get higher temps... Maybe, turning them as intakes, there were much more intakes overall then exhausts. In that situation, the efficiency of the radiator's fans would decrease dramatically - imagine, they have to work not only against the restriction caused by the fin density, but against the highest pressure too.
So, my point is that you have to be careful with the airflow when setting up radiators (doesn't matter if the H50 or H100). :cool:

Awesome Ganji .. and perfect static barrier under the case. hehe
Very nice.thnx.c.
