#Corsair obsidian 1000d fan setup pro
I am disappointed that the ML140 PRO RGBs only spin up to 1200RPM. Let that air flow over the components and get pulled out and through the radiators. The idea is for the front intake fans to bring in lots of cool air. My planned setup is: 3x ML140s in the front (Intake), 2x ML140s on the 280GTS in the rear (Exhaust), and 3x ML140s on the 420GTX in the top (Exhaust). I love the GTS fans, though in a case that big they will be swimming inside of it.
I wouldn't recommend running w/o an exhaust, I just ran out of room to mount one. My last system had no exhaust fans and all intake, though then again your case is the size of a house so I don't think you would see huge improvement, compared to something much smaller. Granted having most people setup their custom loops as intake only so they get the cooler ambient air, assuming you have your GPU and CPU both in the loop. I do go a little board with information, though I like people to have as much info as they can have. I may have to put the 420GTX in push/pull to justify it now. However, I already ordered the 420GTX and a 280GTS. a 420GTS and a 280GTS would have been the best way to go. Especially since ML140's have a max rpm of 1500. Solarity, you bring up a really fantastic point. My conclusion was off because the rads are not perfectly centered on the screws. Zotty, thanks for the pics and the sanity check. Just make sure you measure, if you want to run rads side by side, like in the front of the 1000D
People have ran into issues running rads side by side, on cases such as in the 1000D. This is one way they fit more water channels in.

Looking that you are going to have a lot of rad space I think you will be better off with a GTS, I typically run my fans at lower RPMs, I have dual 360mm rads and my fans never run at full tilt.Īlso one note about HW Labs, they tend to "cheat" by having rads that are wider than most rads. The fin density, core density, water channels, and fan configuration can have different effects. GTX leaves GTS in dust with push and pull with 1850 RPMs:Īgain it is a completed subject, the GTS is the go to for many reasons beyond size. GTX pulls a little ahead w/ push only at 1350 RPMs: GTS out performs GTX at push only at low RPMs: These examples are for the 360mm, though it should scale similar for the other sizes: In benchmarks the GTS actually out performs the bigger cousin at lower fan speeds in push only configuration, only at higher fan speeds and push/pull does the GTX out perform the GTS. Oddly enough you would be better off with GTS rads over GTX. The art of cooling is a very complicated and confusing topic. They are loved by the water cooling community. I could also, to be safe, get a 280GTS rad for the rear instead which is 30mm, and then I should be good for sure? Or did I make an error in my assumptions/measurements? Therefore, in theory, assuming a perfect alignment, it should work? When I measure 80mm in from the top inner corner of the rear fan mount and then 80mm from the rear outer corner of the top 3x140mm fan bracket the measurements do not touch. GTX rads are 54mm in "height", ML140s are 25mm for a combined height of 79, call it 80mm. Zotty, youre the man-I appreciate your rapid replies and value your input.Ĭan you give me a quick sanity check? I just did some math.
