[Official] Corsair Graphite Club - Page 471

Been thinking of selling my phantom and grabbing one of these

I just changed the multiplier and left everything else on auto. I ran it for 2 days like this and it was stable at 5Ghz running the Prime Blend test.
However I didn't leave it at 5Ghz. I just wasnt comfortable with 85-87*C temps and the Vcore was spiking over 1.5v often enough for me to be concerned.
Yes I know I could go in and tweak everything manually to bring the voltage and by extension the temps down but I'm just not bothered to.

After the first couple days since I built the system I'v had it running at 4.5Ghz with everything set to Auto. The Vcore never goes above 1.288V and the temp never goes above 62*C running. I tested this by running Prime Blend test 24/7 for two days as I did when I had the system configured to 5Ghz. My ambient temperature range during the day is 25*C-32*C. I currently have this machine in a room without air conditioning.

Needless to say I am way more comfortable running at the latter voltage and temperate. This is my main system for all my design and development work (Software Development, CAD, CAM) and I'm really satisfied with the performance, she takes anything I throw at her

My philosophy when tuning a system is to find the maximum stable speed I could squeeze out of it then back of to a point where my temperatures are acceptable to me.

Yup. Not until i Transfer to a new and a bit bigger condo.

What did you use for the trim in your window hole?

The 600T does not support the H100 with 4 fans unless you mod in some way.

Some people install it crooked, with the front further away from the motherboard than the rear is. If you do this you won't be able to install all the screws, part of your radiator will be obstructed, and the top fans will have to be held in (at least partially) with Velcro.

If you don't want to do that, then you have to settle for 2 fans (which is why Corsair sells it with two fans). Corsair (Corsair George) says you will only get about 1c difference between push and push/pull. Some people dispute this because Corsair did their tests in a lab. I haven't tested this myself.

If you do not want to mod, you will have to put your two fans in the top fan compartment and the radiator inside the case. If you mount it like this, your fans will have to either be push/intake (dust problems) or pull/exhaust (slightly higher temp by a couple of degrees).

The only other solution is a more serious mod and an older socket 775 motherboard that has the RAM mounted lower on the board. You MAY be able to find some type of newer board with the RAM mounted low enough to allow both the RAM and rad to fit, but I doubt it.

Until you use a fan controller to turn the RPM of the NZXT fan down. Note also that at full speed, the NZXT fan moves more than twice as much air as the stock fans do (166 CFM). I use the same fan.

Those fans are so crappy they will just hinder the operation of your other fans. We discussed this about 200 pages ago.

Yep using a fan controller to throttle the NZXT fan brings it down to a whisper. Even though I have a fan controller I just run everything full blast...the noise doesn't bother me.

Just seen this thread. Here is my White Edition that I think is one of the sweetest looking cases out there.





As you can see below in my sig all the components in my system.

Also, just wanted to let the OP know that the white case is a white edition not a snow edition. That is the thermaltake level 10 case.

Corsair considers their white case the white edition. Not snow edition.

Has anyone had a problem with the fan controller on this case. I installed 4 protechnic 3200rpm 4-pin fans to in and it burnt out. Now the fans speeds dont go from low to high, they go from medium to high and thats it. I cant get the fans to run at a low speed anymore.

I tried to reinstall the stock fans on the fan controller and same thing. I can no longer get a slow fan speed out fo the fan controller.

Anyone else have any issues like this?

And here I thought the white version was the SE (Special Edition). I don't see "Snow Edition" anywhere on the op.

@mikezachlowe2004

Yes, some people have had a problem with the fan controller on these cases. They use tiny little transistors which, IMAO, are not adequate. However, it seems to work for most people but most people don't put any more than the stock fans in.

added some new things to pc that i got over the holidays.

added 2 AP-15 GT fans to the H80, corsair airflow 2, new crossfire bridge, and removed the stock corsair h80 fans to the top sucking in air. (which those 2 on full blast sound like a chinook heli taking off.)

Oh thank you. I noticed you had SE listed in the starter thread. Thats what I thought meant snow edition. Thank you for clearing that up. I didn't see anything on corsair site that said special edition but i could definitely be wrong cause I wasn't looking for it.

Thank you for the info on the fan controller. I talked to corsair about replacing the fan controller. They said that I shouldn't have any problems connectiing other kinds of fans. they said they would replace it but that I would have to send in mine first and I cant really go without four fans. Although I may be able to hook them up another way.

Thanks for the help. I have a very nice cooling setup on this case that I will share with you guys once I get some better pics.
