Cooling Case fan for streacom f1c?

[Thauner]

Hello people..

I just build a coffee lake i7 in a streacom f1c case will soon post the finished build etc on here

I need to find an exhaust fan for the case, and streacom states that their bracket supports 60x10 and 40x10 fans.. My problem is, that in my country I can only get 20mm in depth :/

Anyone know if I could fit that in the bracket of my case?

EDIT: It can't be 20mm, so never mind. Have to wait weeks on the fan instead.

What fan have you got?

I bought the noctua fan that is 40x10.
But it doesn't make a big difference with temps, so I actually took it out again.

Btw, what cpu cooler do you use? I have a kozuti (with 8400) but feel unsatisfied with it and gonna try something else.

Try the Cooltek ITX30

Looks like LP53 is more superior to ITX30 http://www.tomshardware.de/cpu-kuhler-prozessorkuhler-cooler-itx-cooling,testberichte-241546-14.html

Well as long as I have enough space for it I don't care Also the plan is to change stock fan for something better.

New Question, how tall can it be?

How tall can be a fan? Actually LP53 with stock fan (it's 25mm) should fit. But I want less noice, more fcm and more clearance if possible. If I change the fan for 15mm one, I will get +10mm of clearance!

I'm with the noctua nh-l9i. I wanted to try others, but the temps for my use i really fine. So don't want to spend the money. But I did buy a silent Wings fan to try when it arrives

And oh, remember that I did mod the case top. The i7 8700 was to hot for the standart closed case.

Could you tell more about your mod?

I thought about drilling wholes or cutting lines in the original lit. But would not want to ruin the original case.
So I bought a smoked grey plexiglass 3mm thick. Then with a jigsaw I made an exact copy of the streacom top. After that I just drilled 20 something wholes to get air through

In my case I have Asus 370z STRIX-i, with the lights on the case looks insane because of that smoked plexiglass.

I could make a sff build log topic like others in here, if you want to see the full thing. Have thought about it before

Would be interesting to see some photos

I'm going to make a tread then, can't seem to find alot with this case anyway

I did the exact same thing with my Nexus Psile (first Streacom case when they were still called Nexus). Seems they still have issues with proper case cooling?

Only I drilled 300+ holes

I remember that case, but your picture does not work?

BTW, I think it depends on what type of hardware you put in it. I build one for a friend, with only an i5, temps with him are fine without the wholes.

yeah no idea why it doest post the picture, the linking system seems broke for public dropbox links.
But I put it in my avatar, alas a small picture.

No, the airflow design of the Psile was literally broken. It would blow the hot air out from the aluminium holes on the backside, of which there were only a few. That would heat up the case and also heat up the air going in. So the system by design goes into a negative cycle of ever increasing temps. Even a 25W CPU would slowly climb towards 70+ degrees because of that. If you build a system with the Psile, I doubt you really stress tested it at summer ambient levels?

My own airflow design that also separates incoming from outgoing air can easily take a 65W processor at summer ambient. Haven't tried 95W but with a higher speed fan I think it wouldn't be an issue either.

Sorry I was talking about the streacom case like mine. I made that for a friend, but without the mod
