My silent PC- PICS and worries.

[Noni]

Spec-

AMD 3800+ with Zalman 9500
250GB MAXTOR SATA HD
7800GTX 256 stock cooling
AUDIGY 2 ZS
TAGAN 530W EASYCON

Cooling-

Zalman 9500 on Minimum on fanmate 2
Yate Loon D12SM12 on Minimum on fanmate 2
Zalman 92mm on Minimum on fanmate 2

Worried about-

That the Zalman northbridge cooler is not getting enough airflow. My computer runs a bit slower in games.

The Zalman northbridge cooler is a bit fiddly, i can move it a bit if i jiggle it about.

Not enough airflow.

Too much stress on the tagan? The fan will have to work harder?

Cables on the tagan a little bent?

PICS-

General shot of the comp (Tried my best at cable management )



Vents on the side of the comp for airflow, no fans behind them


My silly Fanmate 2 cables, all hidden, will kind of


The Northbridge cooler


My silly attempt at dust filtering, still, should help


I apologise for the crappy pics, Im no photographer, Im better at painting or drawing things!

You could get yourself a holesaw at homedepot and make a couple of blowholes in that side panel to increase your airflow. and one up topside for exhaust
or option two, go watercooling, danger den makes a nice maze 4 chipset cooler for your mobo.
