AMD skt 754 Cooling

Well here is my plan for the blowhole....and yes I do know it can't be square......



What dya think - it'll give air to the GPU, CPU and to the chipset chip too!! :D

Do that, then get a second 120 and mount it as an exhaust at the top of the case then u'd be rockin' and rollin'!
 
I forgot to mention that there are two 120mm fans there as well. (both out)

Might do a blowhole in the top but I'm reticent to cut the lovely Aluminium!

Here is the new and improved diagram.....

Do it man... maximum cooling power :) Gotta have that top blowhole, w00t.

Yeah well I'll save that for later methinks! Do I have the fan outside of the case, or inside of the case? I've got me a filter and usure which way to go?

My instincts tell me inside... :D

Delayed by 7 days? Dude, its been out of stock everywhere for weeks. I doubt you'll see one before the end of the month, maybe more. They just aren't anywhere right now.

The XP90-C is coming into stock over the next few days ;)

You still up for buying my RAM? ;)

Oh yes, we talk very soon. I can send ye the money tuesday if you want :)

Talk in PM
 
Ahhh...yes....I have made my blowhole at last.

Trouble is....it went a bit Pete Tong:

I don't have a dremel so had to use a jigsaw..doh.

My Dad helped me and it went a bit shit: we cut the perspex but it seemed to heat up a shitload and re-stuck. Out came the hacksaw and I cut it quite sweet (took ages) but got it pretty neat.

Then...we drilled the holes...all were fine till the last one, then "bollocks" it split the perspex it a line. Still usable but looks a bit crap.

I put the fan and grill and filter on and they look good in the dark...but alas not so good when you see the split! :-(

Pics:





The dark one isn't very good...the UV is mush better in real life!! EDIT: have changed it...looks better!!

OH...and the temps at load have gone down to 46/7degC after installing the blohole fan!! I call that a result!! Thats a drop of what....5degC!!



And I forgot to add...it idles at 37degC....much better than 42/3 that it did before!! :eek:
