| 58361 | 2002-06-29 11:51:00 | my favorite cpu cooling is...COLD ;-) i make cooling match the pc which matchs the customer. every cooling solution is as unique as the customer. my favorite design is the 'thermosonic' style ie x shaped. a nice effecient design. |

| 58365 | 2002-06-29 23:28:00 | hi craig :) a couple of points here....... the grill area between case fan and psu needs to be blocked off. it allows hot exhaust air to enter the case. it also means the air from the case fan will be going around in circles ie case fan blows it out, it gets sucked back in through the grill then blown back out again. this makes a case fan a little pointless. you have 3 exhaust fans but only one front case fan. the front case fan simply can't flow enough air to keep up with the others.(3 vers 1, guess who will win) install a slow speed 120mm case up the front, or add 3 more 80mm. ideally you want slightly more intake airflow than exhaust airflow. also see if you can fit a 60x60x25 fan onto the heatsink |

| 58366 | 2002-07-01 06:29:00 | aha, but you are wrong about the fan setup. The front and two side fans are intake, the top and two rear fans are outlets. Also, the intake fans are run at a slightly higher speed to cause positive pressure, which forces the warmer air out the top fans. Cheers, Craig. |

| 58369 | 2002-07-01 06:57:00 | I have always wondered what is wrong with liquid nitrogen? Its stable, its inert, its non-conductive, and its very cold! :) | Elwin Way (229) | ||
