Case Fan Question....

[scott408]

Okay I got a Fong Kai FK-603 case. My current CPU temp is 48C and the case is 32C. Currently the front Fan is sucking air in and the Fan in the rear with the cover over the cpu is sucking the air out. Are these the right direction? If I make the the fan in the rear suck air in to blow over the cpu, will it cool the cpu down a bit?

My CPU is a 650 DURON OC to 935mhz with a KT7-RAID (newest motherboard) and Orb Chrome HSF. thanks

Your setup sounds good to me! Reversing your back case fan to suck in air will probably make the temperature go up.

Your current setup is ideal already, don't mess with it.

I thing everything under 55C is ok. but if rally want the temperature goes down try mounting fan or two in place for CD. This will blows on CPU and rear fan will blows hot air outside.

Your current fan set-up is the way it's supposed to be: airflow is the key. If you reverse the upper rear fan, making both intake fans, you will actually create a pocket of dead air and cause temps to rise. Your temps are well within reason but if you want to drop them a bit consider replacing your fans with bigger ones, adding more fans (keeping in mind the need for good airflow) and/or blowholes.

even amd agrees with us
