Antec P180, lower chamber cooling help

[arthurleung]

I just got my P180 and the lower chamber is one hell of a mess.

I got a tagan easycon so some of my cable had to go through the hole for the hdd. I also got a huge 3Ware RAID card blocking the hole which only allow the ATX 24pin+8pin to go through.

I still managed to fit the 12cm fan included (without the fan holder) BUT my 2 harddrives in that chamber got temperature of 50'C.

If I put 4 hdds in there they would die running 7x24 .

There is some space just before the hdd but I can't fit a 12cm fan in there.

Any recommendation?

Currently got a PD920 @ 3.9Ghz there, 4HDD in upper chamber (CM 4-in-3 module, CM 12cm Fan@7V), 1 HDD in middle chamber (Tricool@Low), 2 HDD in lower chamber (Tricool@Medium), Upper Exhaust Tricool@Low, Rear Exhaust Thermaltake 12cm @ 5V
HDD @ 39,40,40,39 (CM 4in3), 44 (Middle Chamber), 49,50 (Lower Chamber)
CPU @ 71'C

Cheers
Arthur

Have you tried installing or moving the HD to the upper chamber to see if the temp drops?

Have you removed the filter for the psu chamber - again to see if drop in temps?

This guy had similar problems but with only one HD.
