Just picked this up for a new build. Two questions:
- should the fans on both sides be pointed to push air out of the case?
- should I replace the fans? I have three Zalman fanmates.
System will be in a closed Salamander Twin cabinet with the back open -will have an xbox360, ps3, and comcast box - not alot of air gets in there:
Silverstone GD05
Kingwin 650w Lazer
Gigabyte Z77mx
Core i5 3570
Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Rev B
8GB Samsung 30nm
Samsung 1TB, Samsung 2TB, Seagate 3TB 7200, OCZ Vertex 60GB, OCZ Vertex3 120GB
No optical
Silverstone GD05

Re: Silverstone GD05
Silverstone fans are pretty good, I'd keep them unless they're abnormally loud and then find a solution to that problem. As for intake/exhaust setup definitely use 2 fans in and 1 fan out.midiman wrote:Just picked this up for a new build. Two questions:

Re: Silverstone GD05
The default is all pointing in. I would think it would make more sense to have the two fans closest to the CPU pulling air out - no?Lsv wrote:As for intake/exhaust setup definitely use 2 fans in and 1 fan out.
Should the Scythe Ninja's fan be pointed down or up?
Re: Silverstone GD05
Got one:
Gigabyte G41
Intel e7200@1v, Scythe Ninja mini (passive)
2Gb Ram
ATI 4350
WD 10EADS (sys, torrent), 15EARS+20EARS (data)
Silverstone Grandia 05 (2xScythe slip stream @600 rpm)
Enhance ATX-0255GA (550W, Scythe S-flex @600rpm)
In my setup 2 Scythe SlipStream pulls air out. Rear and top vents are blocked. Temps are lower then 2 fans @ intake, especially hdd temps
