The problem is that the rheostats take up some space, they might not fit in the 3.5" bay. Measure and find out. My 25W are way too big (but you only need like 10W ones anyways, I just wanted to play it extra safe with the delta + 6 case fans.

Dude, are those load temps?
I run 40C load (toast) at 33C MB temp at high speed :) The 32C was idle, just after about 2mins of high speed. It hadn't leveled out yet. My room is burning up, i'm sweating, but my CPU stays under 40C. Good stuff.
Then why does the mobo temp say 25*c? Does it heat up that much from load? Check out my temps (site in sig, go to benchmarks). What do you think. The ac was on high. but I have the same case temp as you in the pic. I normally get around 40*c idle when there is no ac on. You think it would be worth it for me to get the 80 cfm delta and use a rheo stats to control it? I'll probably need one anyways. Thinkin of doing a mod. So if I do the mod, I'll have 6 case fans (along with cpu, nb, gpu, and 2 psu fans [when I get that True 480 psu]).Quote:

That was on a cold day, windows open, about 1 1/2 weeks ago when it wasn't blisteringly hot yet. I got crappy central air and my house leaks heat/cool air like no other so my room gets up to a toasty 30C usually during the day. I got 6x 40cfm sunons and the delta. I'm doing a bit of a case mod tommorrow. I'm just gonna cut my front bezel, make 2 big intake holes and cover them up with some black wire mesh I have lying around. Right now my 4x intake fans just aren't getting the air they need to perform good.
Just today I finished my final fanbus. It's made out of wood, hotglued together. It ain't super pretty, but it ain't bad either. Got 4x black and 4x red spring clips to hook stuff up to, it's mounted in the 3.5" bay.
Oh yeah, just got me a jeweler's saw (a jigsaw basically, but with a lot more clearance) so I can cut up my case if I start to feel like doing that. Probably will after the summer (i'm moving).
Back on topic:
I recommend the delta. It's a very good fan paired with a rheobus (I would not take it without 1). Good luck with your case mods :)
