Woot, nice looking cases there. I need to save up for that case, I think.

Anyone have any ideas why my temps would be higher in the 1200 than whenI had the 900.... everything seems warmer, CPU, GPU's..... kinda strange if you ask me.....

and yes I did remove the plastic covering on the side of the panel!!!

Are all the fans spinning? Are they spinning at a higher RPM?

Honeslty I am not sure if they are faster or not. They are all on and are all spinning but at what RPm I dont know......


I will add this though....... Since there are 8 fans in the case, and that means a bitch of a time hooking up all those Molex connectors..... I did a mod which I found on youtube, which prompted me to cut all the molex connetors off and wire them all to a Wire terminal, with "u" type clips......

heres the link..... do you think this might have somehting to do with it??


and



any ideas?? Cause I did do this....

Has the ambient temp gone up since you last recorded the other temps? Could be as simple as that.

They both look great, if I had a choice, I would go for the 900 as I rarely have enough hardware to fill it as it is..







Thanks HL and Corsair!
