Diff way to mount a fan? could this work?

[PhaZe]

hi, instead of doing it the easy way,
like cutting a hole in the panel and mount a fan right over the cpu , could this work?

I have a 120mm fan, and wondered if i could get some type of glue, thermal good or something, that could glue the top of the fan onto the botton flat part of the power supply. its the same position if it were mounted in the panel, except no holes or fan grills...

What can i use for glue that could hold it up?
and that it could stand some heat or so..
bad idea? or no?

p.s
this puts the fan right over my cpu(small case)

Is the fan going to be able to get any air to the rear?

yeah..
i think your fan is going to need to get some air..

Ne0 AsSaSiN,

Moving hot air around, is just that, moving hot air around

The reason to mount it on the side panel, and cutting the hole, is to bring fresh cool air in.

it does have room..
its a small case
but wide
and i have an exaust fan in the front also...


what could i use to glue the fan (top of fan) onto the power supply
il give it a try

Sounds like a job for duck-tape...I question how effective it would be though
