HAF922 - Lower temps and Lighting - Overclock.net

iscariot · 09-29-09

I have a HAF922 and I have utilized the Asektek LCLC watercooling system. I know this is far from the best but I purchased this from website pre-built so I have to live with it.

The temps right now are:

Idle 38 - 40
Load between about 75 and 80

I would like to lower these a bit, would the addtion of case fans help my cause? I would also like to add a bit of a glow to my case was thinking of Case fans with LED or would installing a lighting mod be a better way to go?

your best bet is to throw another fan on the other side of the radiator and configure it so the fans blow in the same direction.

This is going to be a very n00b question but it cant be helped and its the only way to learn.

How do I go about doing that? Meaning:

What size fan or how do I tell what size to get?
How do I mount it? I need to buy brackets right?

A radiator needs 120x120x25/38 mm fans.
As you have a 240mm rad, you will need 2 of these fans.
You will need screws to mount them

Mounting should be as simple as 4 screws through the predrilled holes in the fan. I'd say just get a metric ruler, and measure out the distance between the holes on the case where the fan is going to go. I don't believe you will need brackets.

You're lucky to be asking for help on OCN. Out of many of the forums I've been a part of, these guys are probably some of the most helpful, and more polite on top of that, group I've seen. They must believe that if they help someone now, that's one more PC enthusiast later on down the road.

Couldn't agree more. The people on here are great

Ok I will take this on, it will be my first hands on experience adding stuff to my PC. Gotta start somewhere right?

Should I have an antistatic strap attached while doing this?

Will either of these fans do?

I'd really like something with colour.

THis next bit is a totally un-informed question so please forgive me.

What does the rad look like with the Aestek water cooling setup? I think I know but not entirely certain.

please realize that a 3000rpm fan will be loud unless undervolted in some way. i would go with a push/pull setup. i have r4's and i like them

Get the coolermaster fan its alot quieter and it still pushes good cfm.

The Rad is probably black. and looks abit like a radiator on a car except alot smaller.
