Case Ventilation and Temp Improvement

Post by jdupuis »

Hello!

I have the newer Fractal Define R4 case. Just wanted to pass along a notable improvement to Temperatures after having the side open all this time to keep Temps down. I snapped in a new R2 Series Fractal Fan in front (same direction as original) using the spare case fan connection. I screwed in an R2 Series fan in top rear (exhaust direction) and connected to fan connector on the top of Nemo. Paneled up the side with sound proof. I now am maintaining very low CPU and Case Temps. House Ambient Temp: 29 degrees C

BEFORE

Local: 35 - 36
Remote 1: 54 - 55
Remote 2: 57 - 58
Remote 3: 47 -48

AFTER (Stable)

Local: 33
Remote 1: 52
Remote 2: 53
Remote 3: 45

I read prior topics on this and decided to give two extra fans a try and, I think, got positive results with little money. Just thought I would pass this on in case someone is having Temp issues. I also bought a magnetic 140mm fan filter to cover up the top fan when my X1000 is off. I just move it away when it's on. The fine mesh filter blocks exhaust enough to not allow good air flow but blocks stuff from falling in when powered down. Just sharing!

Cheers!!

People are dying.
Entire ecosystems are collapsing.
We are in the beginning of a mass extinction.
And all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth.
How dare you!
