CoolerMaster Stacker & CM's PWM Fan Hub : Wind Rider

rich998 · 19-07-2007, 10:59 AM

About to take delivery of all my upgrade hardware to put in my existing CoolerMaster Stacker 830. However, I've not really paid too much attention to the cooling aspect of things.

I've ordered a Arctic-Cooling Freezer 7 Pro for the CPU on the Striker Extreme motherboard.

However, I wanted to find a way to lower the noise output from the (relatively quiet) 120mm fans. I see there are manual methods such as the Zalman Fan Controller ZM-MFC2 but I've just come across this from CoolerMaster:
Cooler Master
and
www.hardwarezone.com® :: News Flash At A Glance!

I've tried to locate a seller for the produst but can't find one, even in the US - let alone the UK

Anyone have anything with reference to this product or other air cooling ideal specific to the CoolerMaster Stacker 830?

Got me beat on finding it...

Isn't that strange?

Well thanks for trying BigB. Maybe I'll contact CoolerMaster direct....

Thought I'd better update this post. I ordered a few things from yoyotech and overclockers.co.uk and included a Wind Rider and 4 Coolermaster 120mm fans for the Stacker case.

It's really easy to install actually. The windrider box plugs into the main CPU PWM connector on the motherboard and the other fans are connected up (including the Arctic Cooling PWM Freezer 7 Pro for the CPU). You then connect power using a standard Molex connection and off you go.

The Stacker 830 is great because of the space in it. Other than the CPU fan, I have one rear, one front, one top and one side (lower right) 120mm fans. That's 2 drawing in and 2 drawing out air.

The noise is about half of what I was getting before from using the power connections from the mobo and tweeking some of the speeds from the Asus AIBooster software.

I'm running a Q6600 Energy Efficient type CPU (not o/c'd) and the idle temps are around 27 Degrees C for the CPU and 32 Degrees C for the motherboard.

Running Prime95 the temps rise up to about 36 for the CPU and 38 for the motherboard.
