HSF that blows air to the rear (exhaust)

[AyashiKaibutsu]

I'm looking for a HSF for a MSI Neo Platinum board (socket 754) that will blow air to the back of my case where my exhaust is. Preferably one that isn't uber heavy so I don't have to remove it everytime I travel with my computer. If none exists that's 450g or less it's not a big deal though.

This is the Coolermaster Hyper6, i saw this on the MSI forums, not mine. Dont know how much it weighs, but it looks like its what you want.

that looks like the Thermaltake one.

sweet zombie jesus that looks exactly like the inside of my case but with that cooler instead of a zalman. Right down to the led fans and the usb/led indicator above the video card. That looks awesome too. I was thinking of getting that thing and now want it even more. With the fans it has to weigh over 1000 g though...

That?s because Thermaltake ripped it off from coolermaster.

Here is a round up of bunch of HS/Fs including several heatpipe tower designs that should work well for what you?re aiming to do.

The Sharkoon HPS1 looks nice given its performance and use of AL over CU for less weight.

that roundup is for Athlon XP CPU's 🙂

I'm working on an A64 one 🙂

I realize that but most of those are either universal or offer a A64 version.

those are all fine, exept the manufacturers say you get better perfromance with both fans blowing in than having a push pull setup.

edit: you'd probably be better off just making a duct for your rear case fans to focus the pull from them, since you'd probably want to pull those large heatsinks off if the case will ever be bounced around a lot.

That's really weird most of the tower ones I've seen have the sides covered meaning two fans blowing in would fight against each other... Some of the ones I saw only come with one fan so two working together has to work somewhat good... argh I'll have to read up on these.

Agreed, all the test I've seen show that both fans pushing against each other is counter productive, it makes sense. Two fans in a push/pull configuration yeilds better results, but its not enough to make up for the increased noise output.
