GRAPHITE 760T front fan filter

Mikesamo · Apr 17, 2015

Hello forum
I have 2 140mm fans (Stock) connected to a fan controller i have . i have a blower fan titan x sitting on the primary pcie slot . i have a 120mm fan at the bottom next to the psu blowin air inside the case .
I noticed that removing the front filter cools the gpu down by 3-4 degrees . which is great . the boost clock can stay pretty high now that the gpu is running cooler . but the front now looks a bit ghetto .
is there anything i could do to that filter to allow more air to escape through .
damn it corsair

Get better fans or cut the mesh out of the filter.

I wish the noctua fans had white leds ... which part do you want me to cut ?

ATMINSIDE · Apr 17, 2015

The mesh...

Why do the fans need to have LED's? Just use an LED strip...

Just a personal preference . my color scheme is mainly composed of black red and white . the fans are the white

Okay? Use a white LED strip.

As a general (and 99.9% true) rule LED fans suck. There's a reason you never see the fans that are highly recommended as amazing with LED's.

I don't have white led strip . Why so ? Do they run at a lower rpm compared to non leds

I don't have an led strip at hand . Why do led fans suck . Slow rpm ?

Because none of the quality fans are made with LED's built in.

So... order a strip? Icemodz has good ones. Grab an RGB one from there then you can pick colors.

hey man I followed your advice and cut the filter off . it made a big mess around the desk area hahah. lot of cutting involved but once i got the hang of it i was able to rip off the rest neatly .
I am getting around 2-3 degrees cooler gpu temperature . I dont know what i could do beyond this to keep the gpu temp down besides add more fan speed .
is 80-82c ok ?

ATMINSIDE · Apr 18, 2015

Yes, those temps are safe. You won't be at full boost at 80°C though.

You don't have to add more fan speed, you just need better fans...
These will make a huge difference in airflow and still be quieter than any Corsair fan.

Not all LED fan's suck. There are some good ones. I have some blue LED Gelid's that are awesome. And these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...m1132X509988Xfb7bc0777dfdd8ce72b7cd27f5cc8626 are gonna be in my next build.

Links to reviews that actually test performance for these "good" LED fans?

TickleMyElmo · Jul 15, 2015

No, just personal experience. If I can find the Gelid's I have (forgot where I got em") I'll give you a link to them and you can check em' out.

I was thinking about getting the Corsair Graphite Series 760t for my next build. Is the airflow that bad? From the reviews I've seen it has great airflow.

Again, looking for reviews that test CFM and static pressure, not just links to the fans.
