Cooling my computer.

Well I was thinking of putting a new fan in my computer. I have a fan on my Video card, Processor, 2 fans in the back, and one middle fan on the slide cover. I was thinking of putting a few more in. I was thinking that since there's no more spots for fans I could lay one on top of my Hard drive since it's laying down in a bay. And then putting one on the bottom floor of my computer since It's a stand up tower. Is that ok? Or is that bad to have a fan that close to a harddrive?

BMP's? On a website? Yikes....use JPEG or else that site will shut you down for too much bandwidth usage after like, 10 full page loads. GIMP can help. Or heck, use Paintbrush. 😉


Sounds like the case could use more intake to balance it out. I don't think a fan close to a hard drive is bad - some cases have a 120mm intake right next to the hard drives - only about a centimeter away.

if you only have 1 harddrive, look into getting an harddrive cooler...

well, that's only if getting a fan infront is too much of trouble for you
