Raidmax Cobra Cooling

unbentmammal · 12-31-2004, 01:55 AM

Hey i have a Raidmax Cobra Case, and 7 fans, 2 at rear, 1 at side and 4 at front. Currently i have side 1 and 4 front one's blowing air in and 2 back 1's taking it out. Is that the best setup because my Cpu is still 55C idle temp!
Regards Adam

1. No-one here can really tell you if its the best because you'll have to do trial and error to find out.

2. I'd reccomend you have the side-fan on exhaust.

3. Case fans dont have that much of a bearing on CPU temps.... the CPU HSF is the bottleneck there
