QUOTE(GoldenHawk @ Oct 20 2005, 09:06 AM) Well, it IS a theory... it will create more resistance since there is a heatsink obstructing its path...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... 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... |

I bet you forget one thing...
EMI inteferance... There is a reason why you don't see any manufacturer producing PSU out of acrylic/plastic... However you can counter this if your mobo support "Spread Spectrum". You can set it to enable. But the downside is, you will not be able to overclock, or else your cpu might just lock down. |

You might want to tie those cables together using tie clip or heatshrink. Looks neater.

im pretty sure by the time you finish with this project, it will become 20+ pages. I suggest later you open a thread here or elsewhere (blog), detailing on how you do it from Step 1.
It is hard to read all your post with all comments in between (mine included)... |

QUOTE(MacDaNife @ Nov 15 2005, 06:30 PM) Moved the acrylic array into the G5 case. Everything fits perfectly. and I thought you have sold it off? isnt it a waste selling so cheap but ended up getting the same thing again...Now if only I could get hold of a DFI NF4 SLiDR-Expert.... This rig would be complete! Well, still have to do the backpanel plate, and the front USB/Firewire/On-Off switch.... So guess it's still a work in progress. BUT it would be the primary rig while work continues... [b]Praps I'll stick with the SLi-D board after all... hmmm... you be better to pre-order the expert board from the shop or get it delivered via overseas (if you want it fast)... http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/m...uct_Code=110372 i think they ship internationally |
