Lowered Idling by 9C with cardboard air funnel

[soccerballtux]

I used some old cardboard binder stuff like you would use for filing to make a tunnel to the back of my case to a perforated hole like this (the space right below the power supply fan).

Just used duct tape and the cardboard, and made sure the sides of the cone for the heatsink/cooler could blow air out (instead of being covered up by the cardboard). It shouldn't catch on fire, and I'm just hoping the duct tape sticks.

First off, fix the first link...
Second, duct tape is too ghetto for most of us.

I'll be getting some foamcore board on the way home from work tomorrow and working to construct my own ducting mod... I hope to see much better temps that way, or at least better temps at less noise.

yeah sorry first link was messed...
I don't have a clear case so I don't what it looks like. Either I could have payed 30$ for a volcano 12 or payed 30 minutes and done this. I choose the 30 minute option lol.....
