currently using raidmax sirius seris casing, found out that my mobo temp still go up still 50.....

so i decided to add 1 fan that has a high air flow.....but the question is, shud i put the fan sucking fresh air into the casing or blowing out air from the casing? and put where? i found out only my southbridge is heating up....northbridge has no problem.....and my graphics card temp can go till 60++ >_<

sucking air inside will lead to lots of dust inside rite?

opinions?

depends on the fan placement

general rule of thumb:

side panel - out or in (depends on preference)
top - out
front - in
rear - out

my front got 1 80 x 80 but i dun think there is air coming in there, coz raidmax design got "door" front panel that blocks the ventilation air in, so, all out is, no in, can ah?

and i need to cool my southbridge + my vga card

extra exhaust fan is more efficient than extra intake fan...

i've read about it before, it's negative pressure or sumthing like that~ dont really remember which thread... in ianho's thread...

so better add up more exhaust

i've found the ori quote

wooo...thx yo~

thx to ppl who contribute in the ianho thread discussion... i'm juz a messenger... u may say phrophet.. ha ha ha~ kidding..

most important the air ventilation, make the air flow, then all the heat will go .

remember what Bruce Lee said :

u put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.


u force the air go in, the same amount of air will go out, togather with the heat as well....

raidmax casing is a nice casing...
but its bad on air ventilation...
so u better think how to improve the air ventilation lorrr....
