wanna ask opinion bout my harddisk cooling system.....

i'm imaging, the heat will spread from left to right... can the movement destroy my hdd???

the blow-in will suck the air from outside.. and the blow-out, will blow the hot air,, and the dust out... i create this bcoz, i'm afraid if i only use blow-in, all the dust will stuck beside the hdd..

>> the blow-out fan is slower than the blow-in fan....

>> wanna ask.. cureently using 300w PSU, if i use higher.. that mean i can use more fans???

thanks in advanced

Not really sure whether it will work or not ... but one thing for sure if the air is exhaust at the bottom will rise and used by the intake fan again in cooling off the HDD...

so will it be efficient to make the exhaust fan set below the intake fan ?

one thing for sure.......... blow out fan must at the top or must be higher than intake fan

Yes it can destroy ur hdd only if u dun ground ur hdd(non-metal rack)....i dun think tht config utilises air to the max efficiency.....i suggest mounting the air outlet at the back of ur casing...the air would pass by the largest hdd area plus ur mobo components on the way to the back....dust problem....it depends on ur place...like air cond/no air cond...windows open/close...distance from high traffic roads..etc.

Yes the higher the psu power...the more stuffs u can put not oni fans...go use a psu requirement calculator(easily found by google) to compute out ur max power and the power currently u using.

cant get wut u try to say.. or maybe my english suck
reexplain please...

why arr?

actually, i got another fan below the PSU....
my casing is fully metal... sometime got karen bocor.. if dont plug propely

Mean the hot air that push out from the case will rises and suck back by the intake fan to cool off ur hdd

so after few cycle do u think it is cool air cooling ur HDD or the hot air that have been used again and again in blowing through ur HDD>..

it's like a continuous loop .....

u dont go to school ka joking
actually hot air will go up, dont u remember study this at school ???

its a no point mode, as the hot air and cold air keep circulating internally and externally...

U need to space them out or create a diy channel tht directs air to go around the hdd b4 it goes out

@2uk3y thanks for reminding me hahhahha

so, i need to change the fans place???
mean.. the blow in below... and the blow out upper ??

some picture i think can give u some idea....

yeah...it shud work better....bout dust...positive pressure inside collects lesser dust compared to negative pressure

This thing should work better with a top fan. Hot air goes up remember ?

Plus most of ur components are horizontal..therefore easier for air to flow like the pic above

that is a nice casing there.. nice arrangement... so neat

actually, i got the back outflow fan, bawah psu..
plus.. the only thing that hot in my casing.. are my hdd;s.. huuhh
the samsung hdd, sometime so hot... cant touch in for a minutes +++
that's why i blow in the air direct to the hdd...

ehmm bout the heat movemnt.. do you think can affect my hdds???

well.. will try to recon the system tomorrow..
huuhuhu have to unhide the wires again....
btw.. thanks for opinions..
any coming opinions are welcomed

so tomolo can la show ur rig picture what have u done....
real picture, easy to discribe lol

ok bro....

will try to upload

faster upload la kawan..so faster can assist u..

meaning...?
u mean air movement?
