*The main 3.5" drive cage may need to be removed when installing dual CPU motherboard. Modified or custom drive cage is available for OEM/ODM requests if more than two 3.5” drive capacity and dual CPU space are both required. OEM/ODM contact **AP182’s original top speed is 2000rpm, but high resistance introduced by HEPA filter reduces top speed by 200rpm.
HEPA filter will not lose its ability to filter dust when it is clogged, but air flow rate will decrease. If you notice computer temperatures are significantly higher than when new, we recommend replacing the HEPA filter.
Usually high resistance introduced by HEPA filter (compared to ordinary computer filters) can reduce the top speed of AP182 by 200rpm.
This same effect will apply to any other fan installed in the MM01.
Customized liquid cooling systems do not have a definite installation procedure. Typical chassis will not have provision for this. DIY users
must make provisions themselves. If you want to install a 3 x 120mm radiator, we recommend Magicool Dual 180 Radiator instead. Although
both types of radiators have the same length, the dual 180mm radiator has approximately 50% larger surface area for much higher
performance potential.
If your fan is connected to the motherboard, we suggest you to turn off temperature control function in the BIOS. If you want to use
temperature control function on your motherboard, we recommend you to set the MM01’s physical fan speed switch to high for a lower starting
voltage and a wider range of control. If the fans still do not spin, please contact reseller or SilverStone to arrange for replacement.
To reduce the chance of foreign objects touching and damaging the spinning fans while the system is on, we recommend only removing
and cleaning the filter when the system is off.
The MM01’s airflow path has been optimized using positive pressure design to dissipate heat. The two front 180mm fan will provide equal
airflow for both CPU and graphic card area. From our test results, a rear exhaust fan creates an imbalanced airflow that lowers the CPU
temperature slightly at the cost of greater cooling performance loss for the graphics card area. Even without an exhaust fan installed the hot
air will still exit naturally from the rear. We have also found out through testing that installing a fan directly onto the CPU cooler results in overall
quieter case compared to having a fan mounted in the rear exhaust fan slot due the latter’s more exposed location and turbulence against the
fan grille. So with all things considered, an exhaust fan is unnecessary with this case’s design, but the rear fan mount is still included for
convenient placement of all-in-one liquid cooling solution.
It’s possible but for best balance of cooling and quietness, installing a fan directly on the CPU cooler is usually more effective than installing
exhaust fan on rear of the case.
