doesn't matter with the direction of airflow...all i want is just to cool the card further as my rig is open design...no casing....it's hooked up on my cascade.

QUOTE(HaHaNoCluE @ Jul 23 2007, 01:54 AM) coool... the fans do looks ver nice indeed but mine is a close case test... so i still need the hot air to exit through the rear exhaust of the ori hsf... Here's my resultextremeocer, hehe, we can exchange some ideas here... After an hour on CSS: Card is running at 650/1000 Default HSF idle 60c load 75c Default heatsink w/ Aero fan idle 49c load 60c No prob bro, ideas are meant to be exchanged anyway.  |

QUOTE(slash @ Jul 23 2007, 11:17 PM) those fans u used have different blow directions compared to the original delta fan leh... the original delta fan takes air from surroundings and directs the air to the left. while the replacement fans just directs the air down. not really...i am using centrifugal fans....performance wise, better than the original Delta. i might try changing to a 80mm Delta screamer to see the difference. |

QUOTE(Doom @ Jul 25 2007, 01:25 PM) I wonder this work on my X2900 or not .. it;s pretty noisy during load.. it works on any card...but you'll have to try diff type of fans...see which one suit your card best.Anyway ... running naked is really not that practical since anything fall on the card would have it gone case and RMA claim as well ... Waddaya mean by running naked? I dun think anything will fall on the card...i dun see how when everything is secured firmly. |
