well i if you have read my previous posts i have had a few problems with cooling my pc, it used to idle at around 48-50, that was with an Aerocool HT-101 and a good cooled case....
well, i have decided to go with a new fan arrangement and made a nice d.i.y air duct to control the airflow....
i changed my rear fan to pull hot air out, the duct is over the side vent so that blows air in to the cpu section. i boxed in the cpu cooler which pan fulls cool air through the HS , then the side fan cools the HS, and the rear one pulls the hot air out...my cpu now idles at 33!!!
all of my other temps have dropped too, the gfx card (9800xt) idles at about 30 from about 40 which it used to be!
i am also goin to make a hole for 2 8cm fans which will take up my two free drive bays at the top, both sucking out the hot air that rises...
and if that doesnt get cooler, i dont know what will!!
piccies to follow!
