The psu looks crap inside, I now have a 300w psu in my pc and its fine, no funny smells when playing dead island.

Fuhjyyu smoke, don't breathe this.

It's worth the trouble.

How do different fan mesh patterns affect fan and chassis airflow?

Could this be the reason my pc is so noisy? Its not super loud but its annoying.

Could it be the air bouncing off the grill?

It says "High Efficiency" on the label. Doubt it

Yes, it lowers airflow and can create turbulences on the grill on higher speed.

I am personally removing it on all my PCs. From time to time even cutting brand new holes for fans if there is not enough (e. g. older cases with single 80mm position). Quite simply:

• the more fans, the lower RPM you need for the same airflow
• the bigger the fans, the lower RPM you need for the same airflow
• the lesser the air restrictioins, the lower RPM you need for the same airflow

Low RPM=low noise.

My fans are not controlled, my exhaust is wired with just the + and -, and my intake (when used) is wired the same. No pwm on either, so they are full on all the time.

Think i may get ghetto and put a stupidly big fan on it taking up most of the side panel.

If i do, would it be best to blow in or suck out?

I have fixed speed too. The thing is, I have chosen the speed so low I can't heard the fans Actual count gives me 8 fans ATM.

Stick a dust filter behind it hand have it blow in. That will be the end of your dust problems.

How have you got them low speed? I have no fan controllers, just on of off.

Not too mithered about dust now, the hoover is at hand.

Furst, just soldered sesistors in. Now, I am making my own version of those Noctua adapters in 10, 20 and 40 ohm versions so it is modular



But in my computer I have the original ones since I have mostly Noctua fans

Sort of got it.

I still prefer side panel fans blowing in - filtered or not, otherwise, you'd be fighting the CPU fan

my current PC (i7 PSU died) I OC'd a nforce 750i to put my 2.66 6750 to 3.2. My side of my case is off and I have two small full speed fans blowing directly on the NB HS, one set to blow right into another. that sucker stays at 43C under stress. I'm afraid to take it higher cause its an nvidia chipset ya know
