now with 3.2 of static pressur for each fan, they will do the job

looks good!

How do you like those sp120 fans? Are they nice and quiet?

Thread Starter 
Thanks


i really like these fans

but you need a fan controller

at 100% speed they are too loud

but a 70% and lower they are perfect

i have a great temp with these

before, all my fan was Bitfenix specter pro led and they are quiet but my temp was a couple of C higher

yes
i had trouble with my rampage
RMA with asus and build a server with it

this rig is for gaming 90% of time, at the end , I7-3770k is little bit faster than a i7-3930k for gaming
and less radiator
3 x ex360 in push/pull configuration

now in pedestal, 2 x ex360 in push/pull config

but i have only 2 GPU now, in my future upgrade, i will return to 3 GPU and i will add another rad for sure

i think for a Maximus V Etreme, i still have my hd7970, and install a RX360 on front of the case
