  1. This thread is dedicated to the Thermaltake Commander G Series!

    Post your photo of your Commander G Series chassis to join the club!! 

     

     

     

    Commander G series is the new gaming budget case series, designed for users who need a large interior space for high-end hardware and expansion while having a conservative budget. Like all Thermaltake gaming cases, Commander G series is designed to ease system builds, it comes with standard features like the tool-free drive bay design, removable drive cage, multiple fans mounting options and the support for internal and external liquid cooling solution and advance cable management.

     

    Enthusiast Design

    eSPORTS look front bezel along with the spirit “Space is of the Essence” in mind by incorporating an outsize body structure with full black convex and perforated panel design to provide a vast interior space for the ultimate aeration and extreme high-end hardware components compatibility. Build with a windowed side panel, an eye catching spot not to get attention on!

  2. I've got an Element S Chassis + 960W PSU with 2x1TB HDD plus 1x64GB Flash drive.

     

    I've also got a 2TB drive left over from a defunct PVR that I'd like to fit.

     

    I've had the side off and there's plenty of room in the drive bay and what look like spare IDE connectors but no caddys for fitting extra drives.

     

    My questions:

    • Where can I get hold of a suitable caddy to hold the drive, and what's the part number I should be looking for?
    • Is there anything else I need to consider?

     

    I won't be offended if you assume I know nothing about PC internals.

     

    Cheers,

    Hello sdf

     

    The drive bay is actually quite special on this case, please check the below picture for details

    After installing them you can slide your drive straight into the drive bay

  3. Well i guess your PSU could be running near max and dumping out a lot of excess heat.

    Anyway my cards used to  run around about 85 - 90C on air when i first started mining, then i changed the thermal paste and it dropped my temps to about 70- 75 so i think the easiest fix is to change the thermal paste though with some company's it might void your warranty so be careful. 

  4. Yeh, that's a big problem with 2 or more cards... when u sandwich the cards like that and your not using a blower type cooler all the heat just gets spread around your case.

    When i was running my 280x x 3 on air it was impossible to keep the temps down on the lower cards.. what i found helpful is to have a fan at the front of the cards pushing air directly between the cards.. doesn't look the best, but it works!

  5. Hello Renegade and Welcome to the forums!

    Looks like your off to a good start on your mod, will you be going for the full white look?

    Regards to some of the questions on Core V71, we actually have an owners club you might want to check out.

    Also, for spare parts i think you can contact our Australia & NZ team. if they have any spares they should be able to help you out!

  6. Hello CareFactorOver9000, 

     

    Well the sound dampening material built in would slightly effect the temperatures, but the difference is minimal.

    The trick would to be to run high quality fans with plenty of airflow

    Its really up to the user to weigh in what they prefer in a build and what the build is for. 

    For your second question regarding the egg carton shape, it actually works as a dampener with the foam material but at the same time it will help with echo reduction by scattering sound waves using the "egg carton shape"
