Sup guys, just wondering if you can help me get the best possible cooling given this setup..
I have an E6600, which is running at 45-46 degrees idle even with a Zalman cooler...youch!
The case is a generitc ATC mid tower with an 80mm and a 120mm fan on the left panel blowing into the computer. The 80mm fan is directly opposite my Zalman, so I figure this is a good thing...giving it plenty of air to suck towards the CPU, and the 120mm fan is directly on top of the video card.
On the rear I have an 80mm fan and the power supply which are both sucking some air out
I know this isn't an ideal overclocking setup (no fans on the front of the computer), but is this the best I can do with my case?..Does blowing straight down towards the motherboard cool things off best, or would I be better off reversing the fans and using them all (except the Zalman) to suck air out?
