I read earlier that the ones on the side are for something else and rads can't be mounted in them. See pic:Originally Posted by superericla
I think I recall the M8 supporting up to 360mm radiators. You can easily fit 4 of them in the case though, one on top in the motherboard side, one on bottom in the motherboard side, one on top in the PSU side, one on bottom in the PSU side.
UT60 is your best bet for highest performance.
Gentle Typhoons are great fans. I've seen some good things about the Swiftech Helix fans and they're a bit cheaper, possibly a tad less performance though. Push/pull helps a bit in almost every situation.Originally Posted by SammichThyme
What fans should I use with it, and is push pull going to help in this scenario?
That wasn't quite what I was talking about. Those are just ventilation holes. I meant in the very top/bottom of both halves of the case. Sorry for not being clear.Originally Posted by SammichThyme

I'm currently using AP-14's in my sig rig and they are dead silent. My only plea is the color. I'd like to maintain a red or red LED setup. I was think red LED medium yate loons for where the fans are visible, but I'm not sure that if I should just go an get more red led's for the fun of it or just go standard black for the hidden fans. Any good suggestions for red or red LED fans?Originally Posted by superericla

Depending on the fans you can cool that with one UT60. Medium to high speed fans will work just fine. If you can fit two of them then your temps can only get better.Originally Posted by SammichThyme
So will two UT60 360 rads be sufficient for two 670's and a 3930k? How about the pump, I was going to go MCP35X, but am questioning if I will need two.
Two UT60 radiators will be more than enough for two 670s and a 3930k. One MCP35x should be plenty but if you want a bit more flow and a tad better temps you could always add a second one later on.Originally Posted by SammichThyme

It depends on how restricted the loop ends up. If there's too much restriction it can make a large difference, otherwise it would just be a couple degrees.Originally Posted by SammichThyme
How many degrees are we talking? If it's 1-2 I don't really care but I'd say anything over 8 degrees would be worth doing right away
Thanks for that, I really like the Aerocools. I think I'll pick up some of those for my visible fans and maybe the coolermasters for other places because they're super cheap on amazon. Thanks again!Originally Posted by superericla
Aerocool Shark, BitFenix Spectre, and Cooler Master SickleFlow are all good fans with red versions.![smile.gif]( "smile.gif")
I think the highest quality blocks that I plan on purchasing will help me out there.Originally Posted by superericla

Sickleflows don't have much static pressure which is what you need for radiators. Look at Yate Loons, Gentle Typhoons, and my personal favorites the Scythe Ultra Kaze 3000.Originally Posted by SammichThyme
Also, would mixing fans (Such as the Aerocool and Sickleflo) degrade performance over two of the cheapest option (Which would be two sickleflos)?
It would make the slower fan / the one with less airflow die a lot sooner. It's best to use the same fans on both sides of radiators.Originally Posted by SammichThyme

I personally went with medium speed ones and they are barely audible. Great fans in my opinion and not to mention incredible affordable.Originally Posted by SammichThyme
So back to Yates it is. I'm not particularly interested in spending $150 on fans keep in mind. Should I get the mediums or the highs? And why is the 5noz the best?
Maybe I'll pick up a 12 way fan controller as for these guys as well. Should come out to $100 or so without the controller, but scythe makes them for like $20 so I'm not concerned about that. Where's the cheapest place to get the medium red's? The price to beat is 6.99. I remember seeing them for 4.99 somewhere.Originally Posted by VW_TDI_02

If you go to performance-cps.com you can get them for $3.99. They will show up for $6.99 but if you go to the bottom there is a cascading window that will give you the option of an unsleeved and untrimmed version that is $3.00 cheaper.Originally Posted by SammichThyme
