Can a blow whole help my case temp if....

[HamHam]

ok I have 2 hot things in my case that require lots of cooling

* Video Card
* CPU with a dual fans on it. ( Gizzo is stil making it )

I already have a 80mm fan infront ( sucks air in ), a 60mm ( sucks air out) in the back, and a "Super Blow PCI Fan" ( next to my video card) that sucks air out.

Should i place a blow hole with a fan over the video card and or Cpu?


thx.

Sorry if this does not make sense.

Make a cardboard side for your case and test both positions. The video card gets my vote. Sometimes placing a blowhole over a HSF causes turbulence and does more harm than good.

You put in two fans right next to eachother one blowing on the vidcard and on blowing on the cpu.

I have a Pci air sucker near the video card, that ok?


Also I would use a low cfm fan on the cpu, the hsf will be blowing like 45-50 cfm of air so I thought it could use more.


thx

Yeah blowholes will definitely help. Put one above the CPU. I did that to my SuperMicro 760A, and it works beautifully now. Temps are incredible in that thing. 120mm fan, of course

i mounted two 120mm sunon's in the side of my friends inwin q500a...one blows right on cpu, the other right on his video card...they, together with an 80mm in the front and two 80mm's in the back, dropped his temps by 11 degrees...pretty cool (literally)

ya but i have an air sucker right next to my video card so will that be a prob if I have a blow hole on it?

 

[sohcrates]

should be fine, it will just have more air to suck on.
