Re: Exhaust Fan for Fractal R5

Finally had time to rearrange the fans. I've now got 2 x front GP14, 1 x rear GP14 in the case. I'm also using the fan controller (on max) as they aren't pwm fans. While they are slightly louder running at 12v (1000 rpm), I'm quite happy with the noise they make, cooling is now sufficient with the e...

Re: Exhaust Fan for Fractal R5

So you have 4 case fans presently, 2 NF A-14's and two GP-14s? Where are they located? As CA_Steve mentioned, are you using the middle drive cage? Just the two NF-A14 PWMs fans installed at the moment, replaced the GP-14s during the initial build. One front intake, one exhaust. Currently using midd...

When i had my R4 running my setup, the only way...

Re: Exhaust Fan for Fractal R5

Is it really the ambient case temperature you are measuring or is it a motherboard sensor? What are the other devices (HDD, SSDs) showing for temps? Chances are, you could ease up on the fan profiles and not have any thermal issues. Are you using the middle HDD cage or is it removed? It's the mothe...

Re: Exhaust Fan for Fractal R5

Hopefully on topic, I have a new build using the R5 and I'm having some noise issues with it. Some build info 6700K Asrock Z170 Extreme 4 Msi gaming 780ti 2 SSD, 2 HDD. At the moment I have a NF-A14 PWM as intake and a second as exhaust. When idle, and using the fan profiles on my motherboard, I can...
