great cooling solutions

[bdjohnson]

I just read this article from overclockers.com and I think I am going to do this mod on my case. link My video card doesn't heat up at all since its just a Radeon 9200 but my overclocked barton sure does cook some times and I'm sure my north bridge heats up especially since it doesn't have a fan.

Very cool

Found it a good read, thanks!

Looks good, I think i'll try it before i go out and buy a HSF for my new CPU. Don't CPU Fans (the stock ones at least) suck air away from the CPU by default? If so, is there an easy way to reverse it? (I can solder,etc but i'd rather not). Not that it would really matter if I ****ed the Stock HSF anyway .

It all depends on the design of your heatsink. Most of them that I have come across are designed to blow air down on the cpu but I have seen a few (particularly for P4's) that suck air away. reversing the air flow would probably be less efficient but you could try and see what happens.
