Would be interested to know which combination of fans others have found most
effective.
AMD give the follwing formula for a good
case temperature:
*T1 = Outside of case air temperature
*T2 = Ambient inside case temp (measured within 1" of CPU / video card)
*T = T2 - T1
*T should be <= 7c to ensure proper cooling
I have been experimenting with my own case cooling and so far had the
following results when not playing games with my FX5900 + 2600XP:
No exhaust or input fan: Video 53 CPU 55
Side input fan no exhaust fan: Video 48 CPU 47
Rear exhaust fan no input fan: Video 49 CPU 48
Trouble is getting reliable results with the notoriously variable temps here
in UK. I would be interested to know what combination of fans have given
others the best results?
