Centurion 532 case mod
Centurion 532 case mod
I felt like I needed more airflow in the case when running it hard so I was looking at a way to mount a second intake or exhaust fan. Low and behold, I was able to easily mount a 120mm fan behind the front bezel screen in front of the 3 lower 5.25" bays that I wasn't using. I mounted it using some double-sided sticky "gel" tape (It came with my cable wrap kit) which also doubled as a noise dampener. I'll try to post some pics tonight but it had to be one of the easiest mods ever. I modded my chipset fan and a few other things at the same time so I can't really gauge the difference in temps but it is definitely cooler.

nice job BTW. I was also thinking of doing the same. you can never have enough cooling

Today I took out the metal plates and mounted the fan with zip ties. Looks much better.
One thing I did notice I coulnd't figure out why my mobo temps were so high (approaching 50c). Well, I found out that the exhaust fan I had purchased with a UV light ring on it was blowing IN not OUT That's they way they sent it and I never checked the direction of flow. DOH. Things are better now.
