Default rectangular case fan above pci slots needed

http://tinyurl.com/6bpqo

I'm looking for some type of fan that will work in the rectangular grill
above the pci slots. Does noy have to be rectangular but must push air
through the grill

It's for a silverstone tjo6 coming in on monday VBSEG

So where are you putting the power supply?

In the spot where it s suppose to go. In the picture the grill is to the
left of the PCI slots. When I stick my cards in I tend to think of that
area as being on top although it's not when the case is in use

You don't put a fan there. The design is for the 80 mm to push air out of
the case and at the same time to draw cool outside air over the PCI cards. A
very ingenous design. Plus you need the room for your hands to lock and
unlock the latches for your cards. Once you set up your system and get it
running it will all make sense. Nice case!

Ah, ok. I was looking at that big spot between the upper hole where I
was thinking the power supply should go and wondering if you wanted to
put a big fan in there. Then maybe put the power supply below it in
that enclosed looking area between the p/s and the cards. What is that
area for anyway? Nice looking case, BTW.

Maybe you could adapt something like this:

It's where you can put six harddrives which get cooled through the PSU
airflow



Nice looking case, BTW.

Is where I lifted the pic from. Just went down a buck from when I ordered
it monday by money order. Probably won't use the the wind tunnel as I have
a sunbeam ducting kit.

I really like the location of the 120mm fans. Its a three zone cooling
system and I'm not sure if the 80mm fan has enough ooomph to cool the pci
card area.

Hmmm really don't like squirrel cage fans. If I was going to use one I'd
just use the PCI slot style squirrel cage

Anyway I seem to recall seeing something you can use in the area of the PCI
grill someplace and was hoping somone here might recall it

I would cut a window in the side panel and use fan screws to fasten the
Plexiglas to the case opening then cut out a hole in the Plexiglas for a
120mm fan directly across from the pci slots. A CD can be used for the
120mm hole size and dremel will cut the Plexiglas and the metal case with a
little sand paper and black touch up paint it will look like it can from the
manufacture that way. You could get creative with the window cut with such
a large case. You could have the case side panel professionally cut with a
laser but that will cost you some additional money.

IF I'm going to cut the case it would be to put a 120mm fan at the top to
suck hot air out

That is a good ideal, IF you were to cut your case. I hope I did not offend
you I just answered the question which was, "I'm looking for some type of
fan that will work in the rectangular grill above the PCI slots. Does not
have to be rectangular but must push air through the grill", and because
such a endeavor from an engineering point of view would not be beneficial,
which is why this response was given,"You don't put a fan there. The design
is for the 80 mm to push air out of the case and at the same time to draw
cool outside air over the PCI cards. A very ingenious design. Plus you need
the room for your hands to lock and unlock the latches for your cards. Once
you set up your system and get it running it will all make sense. Nice
case!". I replied to the post, "I would", in order to cool the dead air
spots in the case. If you plan to overclock, this case will serve you well
for the cpu but as you have already noticed there are dead air spaces across
the APG / PCI slots, and across the hard drives. Most modern PSU have
thermally controlled fans and will not move enough air to cool the HD area
in this case much less an overclocked video card. Heat from an overclocked
video card will rise across the PCI slots and the HD's. Forced air
convection across this area would help in the case of an overclocked system.
If all you plan to do is to overclock the cpu this case will really keep
everything cool, but be aware that an overclocked motherboard, memory, and
video card will also produce additional heat and will need additional
cooling.

If the inside of the case is put in negative pressure by putting a 120mm
blow hole in the top of the case a lot of dust will collect inside of the
box, and alter the designed air flow within the case by pulling air away
from the tunnel. The combination of a side panel fan (intake) and a blow
hole (exhaust) would balance the air flow and greatly reduce the case
temperatures away from the tunnel area, a really good ideal. Note that the
funnel will cover the motherboard thermal resistor. An intake 120mm side
panel fan would also help and the case would be under positive pressure
reducing the amount of dust collected inside of the box and forcing air out
of the PSU above. A side window would look nice and show off all those high
dollar components. Just an ideal.

BTW I have yet to find a case that was designed for the extreme overclocker
in mind, although the people at thermaltake have tried but at a high cost.
The silverstone tjo6 is a good design in the right direction a modification
to the tunnel to cover the motherboard and PCI slots with 120mm fans at the
intake and exhaust would help. The designers of the tji6 have also made the
assumption that the PSU will have fans that move allot of air. With the
push toward a silent PC most PSU slow the fans down to half speed (1400 to
1500 rpm).
