Not really for me, but I have a TJ07. My radiators on the bottom compartment and have a two fans in back and two fans up top, so plenty of ventilation



What I am looking for is a fan controller that doesnt take up a bay, something I can just hide between the radiators, maybe some kind of ****.


I had an automatic one that used probes in the res. on the radiator and in the radiator out put line. It was great but wont work with win7. Any suggestions?

That's a hard one... For me its all done electronically and it gives me temperatures, rpm, as well as throttle control for CPU. But! It requires a bay and has a screen of course. If your case can't fit one... Make it fit fc is too important

Also is the tj07 the case that was made to be pretty much silent?

buy a fan controller, rip out the pcb from the case and drill out several holes in your side panel for the rheostat *****, mount the pcb to your case.

You now have a fan controller without the need for a drive bay.

Also, i think the new UEFI bios's has some special temperature probe + fan RPM settings that allows you to set thresholds on temperature vs fan speed.

I just use my mobo PWM headers and Fan Xpert... It's kinda nice.



For being watercooled, my machine can get hella loud though. When the fans spin up, it sounds like a jet engine.

I dunno, it was a full case that was aluminum and was good for water cooling

What fans are you running? There are some really good High Static pressure low noise fans out there. My radiator has 4 fans (push pull) and on Max they are quiet as heck. I have the corsair HSP PWM quiet fans for h20 radiator, and some high CFM low db fans for the case. There are some other units out that are just as good as well i forget the name.

Yeah it looked like this but it was in the Nvidia software. I had to write rules for it

I haven't seen anything with higher CFM. The noise is the wind. These things don't **** around. I am very pleased with them.

I knew they would be loud. If I really wanted a quiet build I would have gotten something different. But I wanted some serious air movement.

Yeah those do offer some good Static pressure and a nice DB rating too. I might have to try them. I had bad luck with the coolermaster Blade master units. they offer a little bit more Static press than the ones you have but didnt seem to last that long so i went with a different vendor. How long have you been running them and is your system on 24/7 or there about?

I've had them for just about exactly a year. Running 24/7. They run at about 30% (844 RPM) most of the time.
