I have a AMD Tbird 850 system that uses a Coolermaster hsf that was provided free with the cpu when I bought it back in August of last year. My temps seem to have been okay 42-43C idle, 49-50 under a full load. But ever since I installed the United Devices cancer research client, coupled with warmer summertime ambient temperatures, the thing is hitting 52-54C just sitting idle. I think this may be causing some strange instabilites that I have been experiencing lately. The cpu is not overclocked, and the hsf I beleive is rated up to 950 Mhz. My case is a Tornado 1000 from 3dcool.
I would like to experiment with the hsf to see if which gives me better temperatures sucking/blowing.
Currently it is sucking, but I think that may not be giving the best cooling because the case side panel has two 80mm fans blowing 43cfm's into the case directly over the cpu. I believe this may be having a negative effect on the small fan on the heatsink.
Exactly what steps do I need to take to reverse the direction of the fan? It is a three-pin fan plugged directly onto a fan header on my A7V motherboard. The connector is slotted so it can only plug into the pins in one direction. Do I have to switch some wires around or something?
Thanks,
Gamble
