blow holes work yes/no

[lapdog]

shound it but a cheap case and put blow holes in it to overclock

My blowhole reduced my case temp by 5 degrees celcius. Just get a generic case and mod it with a Multipro tool Dremel

I havent tried this but i am planning to put a blowhole pulling air in on the side panel directly across from the CPU, so that it would blow nice cool 55-60degree air onto the HS, rather then the 75-80 degree air in the case... i would think that this would have a significant effect.

I have 2 blow holes on the side of my case cooling my video card and processor.

I have one intake blowhole on the side of my case and one exhaust blowhole on top. They help.

I dont have any side blowholes, just 80mm Sunon behind CPU and 120mm YS Tech up front.

My case temps are always within 1-2C of room temps since I setup my custom Enlight 7237 Case. Use a 120mm lower front fan sucking in, 80mm blowhole in top of case sucking out and 80mm back of case above PEP66 sucking out. P/S fan also but it is a smart fan and does not run much. Can't say that I agree with side fans blowing in as they often fight the airflow from the sink/fan. Prefer to have good balance of cool air with case air out and slightly more in to keep from sucking air and dust through the cracks of the case.

i made 3 blowholes in my generic case

bottom, side and back

all 3 holes using 50cfm 80mm ADDA fan

it made my mobo temp around 20 celcius
