I put the spoiler bcoz i dont want to lose it lol. Do u think if i put 2 fans. top and bottom both blowing the heatsink, so the air will go out from side, Is much more effective?
*
did u meant two fans blowing at each other?

if that is what u meant then i dont think its a good idea though... it will create turbulance and its not really good for the airflow in the casing... it will just create more trapped hot air in your casing..

if u want to put two fans, make it one blowing and one sucking... if u know what i mean brows.gif

btw, im not sure what exactly u meant but its just an suggestion smile.gif

There's review said it's a bad idea. U said more hot air will trapped inside? I thought it will goes sideways. then the exhaust fans will suck it out.
*
imo the sideways gap are a small.. dont u think so?? it would be like too much air blowing in and less going out.. imho its not really good for the airflow...

anyway u can do a setup like that and snap some pics for better understanding and maybe post some result though brows.gif

hey guys, I think i finally figured out why my cpu temp is so high. I think it's due to several factors.

1. very hot graphic card HD4870 810/950
2. 3 HDDs in the hard drive bay which pretty much blocked the front fan   intake
3. small case (cooler master mystique)

So i decided to install a 120mm intake side panel fan. to see if it's helping. so far it 'looked' as if the temp actually dropped a little. but I will need to let it 'burn-in' for a while before i can get a more substantial results.

and on top of that, I've also reapplied the thermal compound. but this time i tried getting it thin and smooth, before putting my ultima90 hsf on.

will update the result soon smile.gif
*
imo ventilation is depending on your casing... if u feel that there is some places that is lack of ventilation, meaning no air is going through that area, try installing a fan to blow towards that area...

but keep in mind that u need to get those hot air out.. so to me, its kinda test and error situation... try changing position of the fans around your casing and see hows the result shows...

one more thing is, i think the fan which is install to blow your HDD is not going to improve any ventilation in your casing... if u want a front fan to improve your ventilation, put the fan "inside" your casing... its something like that:

anyway there is alot of ways to cool down your pc components, im just givings some suggestions smile.gif

Latest update:

metsatsu/ Tuniq TX2/ C2Q Q9450@3.4GHZ (28% OC) / 1.19V/ Silverstone FN91 90mm fan/ 51c/ 65c/ Non-Airconditioned/ Prime95

Dunno whether if it's bcoz the colder weather or really bcoz of the better airflow after the cable management. but anyhow it sure looks much more pleasing to the eyes tongue.gif

P/S: sorry forgot to take a before pic, but just imagine that there were cables covering the bottom of vga card as well as the side of the HDD cage. there was another cable going right across the top of the vga card too. and the cable was partially blocking the ram's view also.  rclxub.gif

that cooler looks nice... what cooler is that?

anyway your casing seems a lil small for those hardware and making your cable management harder smile.gif

can anyone tell me whats is the dimension of the stock intel CPU cooler?

my case and mobo is restricting me to get a CPU cooler, so i need to get a CPU cooler that is not bigger then the stock CPU cooler in terms of width and length most likely

thanks smile.gif
*
i just roughly measured with my ruler just now... its rounded so the diameter of the cooler is 85mm and the height including the fan is 57mm... btw, what casing and mobo are u using?

HTPC is it... now i know y u cant fit tower hsf into your casing nod.gif

but imo those cooler like gemini 2, maybe Killer whale or similar cooler can fit into your casing...

ss kit is not a necessity bro. xigmatek comes with those push pin kits and its performance compare to those with sskit doesnt differ much.

ya but to think the price of a heatsink = a G31 Bearlake chipset mobo....I rather paying for the mobo...

which what I did recently...

everything I got extra except board...

so since company give me free quad extreme , I take out my quad Q9300 yorkfield and go buy a very cheap RM180 G31 board, few pcs ram laying around, got few empty casing with PSU and hdd laying around..and a few dvdrom n writer laying around and a few graphic card laying around...I set up my 3rd rig in Penang just for downloading use....After setup this 3rd rig...I still find a lot pc hardware laying around  tongue.gif

I guess I buy too many pc stuff already but not fully utilize lo...got a company laptop, then got personal macbook. got another 3 rig here with me and another 2 rig at home town..

I just like swapping the hardware around...

Heatsink  definetly my last priority to upgrade in the list... hmm.gif

rich guy spotted but refuse to buy a cooler for rm150 tongue.gif laugh.gif

I just ordered tuniq and let see whether it'll really that good. I planned to mod my stock HSF. Gonna change the fan to 12cm one...
*
i think there wont be much different if a 12cm fan is used. to me, intel hsf is not meant for oc-ing. to me, its main problem lies at the heatsink rather than the fan. intel stock fan is quite good imo.

Intel heatsink doesnt have heat pipes which i think its very useful for heat transfer from the proc IHS to the fins (capillary effect). and this is the main problem with intel hsf and that's y usually performance cpu cooler are build with heat pipes

Besides that, the fan is blown directly towards to mobo. this causes the hot air trap around the proc. maybe with larger fans and right possitioning, this can be solve but still the main problem lies at the heatsink and not the fan smile.gif

still it uses the same plastic thing which will causes lots of conflict with mosfet and NB heatsink sweat.gif

i think the fan is those blower type fan. so it should produce concentrated airflow which makes it flow out in one direction.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

but if you think back, if the fan is only blowing into one direction, that wont actually cool the fins right hmm.gif

btw, according to this reviews, this SpinQ performance is quite promising

Will increased airflow inside a casing give a significant drop in temperature? I'm considering changing the 3 stock gigabyte casing fans for delta fans, just wondering if the temperature decrease is significant enough to make up for the noise.
*
it depends. if your fan orientation in the casing doesnt help the airflow, putting a performance fan like delta wouldnt help your temp also. I think the only way to test if there is a significant different is by opening your side panel making it half naked.

usually when your casing is half naked, it improves the air flow a lil. so from there you could make your comparison. but if u can stand the noise, i think there is no reason why u shouldnt get those delta fans tongue.gif
