Intake fan in a 5.25 bay (warning - graphics) - Page 30

post #291 of 316
Figured that I should try this out now that I have a load of fans lying around.

Mounted it using a few zip and twist ties.
Here are some (not very good) pictures of my 690 II:

Really helps create the 'wind tunnel' effect in my case:

EDIT: The P12 at the top is no longer there.

This is probably true redface.gif

I just love the quality feel of a Noctua product.
Definitely worth the price premium in my opinion.

I couldn't find any foam in my immediate vicinity so I just used rubber bands which seem to work quite well. Cuts out vibration completely as long as you have the right amount of tension.

In probably going to mount a second one closer to the grilles to pull in fresh air as well (like most of you have done).
post #296 of 316
I did the same thing a few weeks ago. I was actually inspired by this thread. The fan is off-center to better align with the D14 sitting behind it.

The pic is a little old. That 200mm grill no longer exists... wink.gif

Looks good. Is the Noctua hidden well with the front panel on? I don't think I could stand to look at a brown fan all day, but that's just me.

I upgraded my 5.25" bay fan, from this crummy Coolermaster 120mm:
700

To THIS:
450
I'm getting roughly the same temps as before, at a fraction of the volume, and as a bonus it looks amazing!
Let me know what you think!
