I have to ask, but it looks like your fan between your CPU heatsink and exhaust fan is trying to suck air IN through the exhaust? also your top exhaust is trying to steal air away from your CPU fan? (if not, you know heat rises? sucking air from high to low seems wrong) wouldnt it be better to have modded your case side door in a similar manner to blow air directly too to CPU fan.

I thought this was a joke, but it turns out you're actually serious?! I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't even read my thread before posting contrary information to what was already there which annoys me even more than ignorance.

Obviously I know what I'm doing here if I was able to drop my CPU temps by an average of better than 10C simply by ducting in some ambient temp air directly through the CPU HSF. The key word here is "IN!" And the fan you're referring to is only meant to move air through the cooling fins over the I/O port side mosfets. It's doing the exact job ASUS intended it to do and with the coldest air in my case passing very briefly through the CPU HSF just before the fan in question, I'd say that I made this ASUS mosfet fan at least 20% more effective with my carefully designed top intake air duct.

Heat rises? Really?! Any heat remaining in the top of my case that the 140mm fan in my PSU does not get rid of, is taken care of by a trio of of 40mm fans installed in the upper most 5.25" bay of my case through the use of an empty HD cooler in which I turned the fans around to work for me as exhaust rather than intake.

Before you go making assumptions about my design, you should at least do me the courtesy of reading my thread before you litter it. Thanks!

Sorry mate but there was FAR to much crap in your original post to bother reading through...So I didnt know about your 3 fans in your upper 5.25" bays and I didnt see the ASUS fan was a straight through (thought it had a solid side and an entry side...no good photos of it)

Resorting to calling all the very thorough information I provided in my thread, "crap" only makes you look ignorant and all the same, proving my point. Maybe if you'd bother to actually read the threads you reply to, you'd learn the difference between to and too. So if it's too much to read, then you should at least be able to appreciate the time I took in documenting my mod in the 1st place and simply move on rather than littering it yet again. You did however motivate me to make a diagram of the airflow inside my case. Thanks!



Check out the slot cooler I made out of an ASUS mosfet fan! It definitely plays a necessary roll in removing the heat produced by the GPUs and southbridge.

OMG! that was too funny!

Great series through..mad props for your thoroughness. I am designing a case mod now...

When I originally picked up my P182 I liked the 'stealth' idea... I still do, however, time to blend a little more efficiency with this sleek box. And to do this I will definately be utilizing the fruits of your labor...I'll document and take pics as well.

So here's my public thank you for your work. "Thank you."

Hey thanks, Arcane! I'm glad I was able to inspire. Feel free to post any pictures of your mod here on this thread, or at least a link to your build log when it's done.

Oh, and nice case! That is one of the nicest looking cases available right now in my opinion. I just couldn't justify the extra Benjamin for it. I'm jealous.

Hey thanks. I will post as soon as I get it underway. I am waiting for the delivery man to deliver the first batch of goodies today.

As for my case, I agree. It is quite expensive, however, at the time of purchase I was sitting a 'little fat' if you know what I mean.

Anyway, I'll keep you posted.

I have begun a work log here.

I am still wrestling with a few measurements and design features... but will keep the thread current as best I can.

I'm not too worried about my ability to make my machine perform better... although this is a challenge in itself. Instead, I am concerned about my ability to display that which is my inspiration for it's display...
