Well I finally modded my new Xaser III case. I cut all of the restricter grids from infront of and behind 5 fans.The rig is
about 50% quiter now.I will test temps later today.This procedure was done with a pair of right cut TIN SNIPS.
It's amazing, how much differance it really makes.So guys
get those restricter plates out and enjoy a quiter rig.
The only restricter I have left is on the back of the PSU. I
will hold off on that one,for warranties sake.Note: Now
my blowhole on top of the case actually works.It used to
push the air backwards when you turned up the fans speed.
