QUOTE(MacDaNife @ Oct 12 2005, 09:58 PM) Haven't decided. Actually I was hoping to delay the choice of mobo to allow for the crossfire based mobos to surface but... need a mobo in order to make the backplate and see how the PCI slots line up... No Fatality available so went with another DFI. Same goes for GPU. I'll probably take one (or both) of the 7800GTXes into this rig. Or if the X1800xt cards become available... who knows... No firm plans to components as yet. Will take things as they go along... And post em here of course.  Looking for CrossFire boards?  --> [BULK] ATI CrossFire Motherboard, 1st BULKSome nice cards to consider  --> Sapphire Radeon X800 GTO2 PCIE--> [BULK]Pre-Order X-1000 Series GC-Full Range, Colorful Brand...And someone doing the "combo" thing as well  --> [WTS] Latest Mobo & Dispaly Card~!This post has been edited by GoldenHawk: Oct 13 2005, 09:55 AM |

Ever considered using really small fans (40mm or so) to drain the heatspots OFF the hot air. Don't use them as primary exhaust vents, just as an alternative way suck the hot air out. Not good with graphics, so I hope you get my idea. "Bend" the airflow by creating negative preassure at the heat-spots  |

Here's another idea that just popped into my head... Blue line denotes the airflow... Sorry for the bad graphics

QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Oct 19 2005, 10:53 PM) Huh? Can turn a smooth S meh? Don't get it dood. Well, it IS a theory... The idea is to get the air to flow in a certain direction so that it hits the heatsink BUT doesn't get stuck in a hot-air whirlpool. At one end, the fan pushes the air in & the other, the fan pushes the air out. Sorry for not drawing the fans out I warned you guys that my graphics SUCK It would REALL help if there were holes througgt the heatsink. This way, you'ld get a constant cooling draft going THROUGH the heatsink, which not only helps cooling, but provides some amount of unrestricted airflow... |

QUOTE(iZuDeeN @ Oct 20 2005, 10:11 AM) it will create more resistance since there is a heatsink obstructing its path... air is not like water where it will take shape of the surrounding... no doubt that there will be air going out through the exhaust but there will still be a whirpool in there due to the resistance... This is why I recommended putting holes through the heatsink.... get my point?  |
