overclocking a pentium anniversary with a cm hyper 212 evo

I am currently copying 18tb from the old array to the new array as a burn-in test. So that tray would have been less accessible. Even if it had, the bottom tray was going to sit below the lip of the side of the case. I tried adapting it, and it didn't come out well. I was originally going to move the four bay 3.5' cage from the Deep Silence 3, but it was just too integrated into the case. I still have one tray free, but no extra drive or SATA port. So I could go back to my AX760 from my previous build with SATA power splitters. My Kill-a-watt peaked at 450 watts during boot. I have since opened the window, turned on the fan, and left the door open. I had to tape down the 2.5' cage, but the drives are so light it is not a big deal.Īfter building this beast I had the window closed, the door shut, and no room fan for one day. I may use a drill and drill holes in the sides of the trays. My temporary workaround is strong 3M double sticky foam tape with two screws. The WD drives are missing the middle bottom screw holes. The trays and the screw holes on the WD 8tb drives don't match. I wish the Deep Silence 6 had spots to mount 2.5' drives on the back side like the R5.

Even this was a stretch for the Deep Silence 6 case. But the biggest Fractal Design case wouldn't quite suit my needs. I used a Fractal Design R5 for my previous build, and prefer Fractal Design cases to Nanoxia cases. You don't feel like you are cramming anything in. The case is huge, but all the space is nice. With the 4tb drives I have replaced five of nine drives over time, which has driven up the real total cost. My old build with the motherboard, memory, heatsink, CPU, and 4tb drives combined with my new 8tb build. I have replaced the Seagates as they fail, and I had one fail during this upgrade. I originally shucked the Seagates from externals.

9 x 4TB drives, mix of Seagates and HGST NAS.

Seven shucked from Best Buy WD easystore externals and two from Amazon as internals. OS Disks: 2 x Intel 330 60GB, mdadm RAID1

Used two 120mm case fans from the Deep Silence 3 case between the two stacks of drives. Used the two bay 3.5' cage, and three bay 2.5' cage from the Deep Silence 3 case.
