I'm using the Gigabyte EP45-UD3P mobo currently and i am looking for a cooler which will fit in perfectly without any mods or tweaks,as i've heard thr large heatsink on the mobo itself prevent many coolers out there from being installed perfectly

if i face rear,the rear fan helps to suck out the hot air frm the fan on hsf,which means...double performance?

QUOTE(cdlim87 @ Feb 8 2009, 01:33 AM) its still same theory if u face top(if u put fan at top of ur cm690), but it will suck 2gather hot air frm GC to cool ur HS.. so it should be get beter performance if u make it face rear..  QUOTE(Bonchi @ Feb 9 2009, 01:24 AM) yea i agree with that....in fact im using that setting atm...and from my experience...thats the best i could ever get with my rig..even the rams are slightly cooled as there is the presence of air flowing through it. er wait a sec,after i re-read ur comments i notice u all mention the hsf SUCK hot air,but i though is blow out? as you can see...if facing downwards..it not only sucks the the heat from the GPU but also the NB as well...especially gigabyte mobos who had rather hot NBs...i cant touch mine with my bare hands  ...planning to mod by placing 2 40mm fans on it but by sucking the air out with a duct rather than blowing into it as it will create hot air around that area... |

QUOTE(Bonchi @ Feb 10 2009, 05:52 PM) ah..well..i'd recommend you to turn those two fans around...as you can see..the gtx260's HSF is sufficient to cool the card already...it just need a way to get rid of the hot air which blows out from it...usually to the back and the side like the HD4850..thats why with a fan sucking outwards..it helps to keep the hot air from the card....the same applies to the CPU as well i will chg the 1 beside my gc to blow out but will try to test the 1 behind the cpu 1stcoz you see..blowing in air..might trap the hot air in your casing, making the temperature inside hotter. another thg is are cm's led fan crap?few months ago i saw a thread bout itin lyn forgot which section.the 140cm blue led fan infront my casing already dead 2 lines of led and recommend me any good 12cm fan with bright and long live neon/led as well This post has been edited by ZeneticX: Feb 10 2009, 09:47 PM |
