Hi /g/entoomen
where can I find some feet for my PC case?
I've looked everywhere for ones specifically for my cooler master silencio 550 but found none.
are case feet universal or do they have to be specific to my case?
>pic related, my PC

I don't know about that case particularly, but in a lot of cases they just have screw holes for them, which means that although they aren't universal, you should be able to find generic ones that'll fit.
Also if you're lacking feet there's an easier solution - turn your PSU over so that the fan intakes from inside the case, instead of through the bottom.

I thought about that, but what about buying something like this?

not much in the way of ventilation, and it looks pretty gay

not that exact model but would a small grilled stand be better than just carpet?

neither are as good as just turning your PSU over

Why would you want his psu to intake hot air? The hell?
Buy that ugly grilled stand OP, don't flip the psu.

that was exactly my thought, especially in a case like this
I was thinking something like this to put it on

because of all the components in your PC, that's the one where intake temps matter the least. Every good PSU is rated for either 40 or 50C intake temperature at full load. His case temps are unlikely to be above 30.it also prevents the bottom rear of the case from being a dead zone with no airflow - this is important if you're using a case like OP's with no side fans and an emphasis on silence. The PSU fan will assist your case ventilation instead of cooling itself only. And since it still exhausts outside the case, it doesn't hurt the temps of anything else inside the case.
A pair of 2x4s, cut to the width of your case.

I've got to ensure the intake is the same as the output.
If the intake is more than the output the will be a heat build up, thus increasing the chance of overheating
if the intake is less than the output then you get negative pressure
something my case can't adjust
if you use a regular case where the PS isnt on the botton and sucking air in thru the bottom, then you can just use rubber stick-on feet they sell this shit at lowes home depot and hell ive even seen them at walmart... in the home section.
if you DO have a PS at the bottom.. then well you are fucked then, or you need to use a stand or customize something to elevate the case
