assuming that u r putting the fan in ur case, 1 will be the intake, normally in the hdd cage, serve to draw in cold air. 2nd fan will be the exhaust fan, normally place below ur PSU, same line as ur proc, to take out all the hot air inside the case

@fuzagi

Then u have to look into which type of configuration u want ..

There's two types known as pull or push also known as negative or positive pressure..

Negative pressure (More air out but least air in)
Airflow Out > In

Positive pressure (More air in but least air out)
Airflow Out < In

To achieve the best result is by having negative pressure coz it would make sure all the hot airs within the case exhaust ...

however this only could be achieve with lost of ventilation holes around the case ... because just the intake fan along won't be enough to bring in cool air ...

er nono.. u got me wrong. i meant having to fans sticking together.

@fuzagi...the first one in the picture will give more air flow...the second one...I think will not benefit you anyway...

so putting 2 fans together wil generate more air flow?

suppose to...but I am not sure...you can try it out...and let us know lo...

It won't generates better flow by lining up two fans together ... it's not math ... 1 + 1 = 2

coz partial of the air would bounced back .... the best way to direct and air is determine to which extend that the airflow out from the fan lose it's static pressure .. so u put a fan after that to optimize airflow direction ...

noob question here,
how to check the northbridge and southbridge temperature?
I got Everest Ultimate but duno which one to see...

the easiest way if the mobo comes with utility software that could display the temperature ..

if not use Everest Ultimate and speed fan as speed fan could display the north bridge temperature most of time ..

u could load the system and estimate with one is the north bridge by cross checking with speed fan and what other values that could be assume or identified as south bridge temperature through everest ..

the mobo utility software doesnt work on my mobo already,
it doesnt work after i flash to the latest bios...
hmm, below is the print screen of everest ultimate at full load,
can u check for me?
and the core 1 and core 2 temperature seems strange...


Attached thumbnail(s)

I think the value of ur south bridge is totally absent ...

Only north bridge is present ... hmmm ..

If south bridge isn't being overclocked .. most of time it would not over heat ... so probably u could just skip the monitoring of south bridge

so, the northbridge one is the "motherboard" temperature?
and why the core temp is so low?
much lower than i expect...

Not 100% True Actually.
As different motherboard shows the motherboard temperature to another different area.

hmm, then means i cant really check the temperature d...
hmm, gona get a replace battery for my multimeter already,
so, tat i can check the temperature using the probe provided by the multimeter...
not sure the probe is still around or not

recently my PC keep on auto shutdown and i go install PC wizard and found that my CPU are 85C...

then after i clean the dust it stable at 48C. will it be and fatigue later?

Pc need to be service regularly and after a few months a fresh new coats of thermal paste with help to extend ur proc life.FYI lucky ur proc didnt went KAPOOFFF

hmm cleaning the entire pc is definitely a must practice every month ...

especially in dusty environment ... however I don't think one need to replace their thermal paste that often, usually it could last a year ...

However clearing dust is a must ....

~hi...

i wanna ask that TT BTVX on DFI ultra M2....

why it wont tightly like stock hsf~~

it seen having loose there~ even i can turn the HSF a litter bit~ and can move up and down~

it really cant tight d??

pls help me~

if the HSF can move ,its not properly install.it shud be firmly stuck.try properly reinstall it and try to get some help from someone experience if possible.Heatsink shud be install firmly not move about.poor contact will result in poor heat transfer hence the "gila" ultra high temps

Whats the recommended temp for CPU, CPU Core1&2?... Using E6600 B2 stepping...
