marcnaz got a reaction from BabaLament in Core V71 Owner's Club
Gday,
Just thought i'd share what i ended up doing.
Worked out pretty good. Easily dropped max. gpu temp. by a good 10-15C (especially the top one - now both cards are within 3C of each other at 100% load). And case is 20C cooler than my old 650d.
With the fan on the side don't really need any lighting IMO.

Hey guys
Im going to be buying a v71 one of these days and I wanted to know if anyones put in a fan on the side panel (as exhaust) since I currently have crossfire windforce gpus.
Would a a71 side panel fit on a v71??
thanks

In regards to the side exhaust fan i reckon it mainly keeps the case cooler. Its the two 140mm front intake fans for the gpus that really improved things.
Although i'm sure the 200 does help a bit (ie: cooler case = cooler everything inside)
Also the top rad is set to intake - so the 200 helps there also. Ps.: I hooked up a voltmeter to the fan controller power out and noticed it topped out at 9V (high) & 6V (low).The yellow wire seems to send out a 12V signal to just turn on the leds. So connected it (with a y-splitter to another fan with rpm signal) to the MB and the yellow wire to the led switch and works like a charm (Lights + auto fan speed control). When the 200mm is hooked up to the MB its noticeably louder and pushes out some serious air. -
