    Should the fan blow onto OR suck air from the heatsink?

    i have a 120mm fan cut into the side panel blowing on(in) the add-on cards and cpu, on a full size addtronics case, with 4 40mm fans and 2 80mm fans blowing out. might seem like overkill but it works great. a rule of thumb is that positive air pressure gets less dust into the drives than...

    Hard drive position

    i was just reading the installation instructions at IBM and they said the it totaly does not matter how the drive is orientated and that my problem is probably due to a blocked breath hole. Learn something new every day. thanks all.

    Hard drive position

    Does it matter what position your hard drive is in. i have an ibm deskstar that over heats quiet often. it is mounted in such a way that i can not put a cooler on the metal face on top.. Will the drive still work correctly if i flip it over so that it is up side down??
