Rev. Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 (edited) Not sure, I would be interested in the facts though...I have one right next to my 9700 Pro. Just did a search...seems it is a matter of opinion. My temps are great running my 2500+ 12 x 180 (2,160Mhz) with NO voltage increases (stock is 11 x 166 or 1,833) and my video at 345 X 315 (stock is 325 x 310) 24/7 My cpu idles @ 36 C and Loads @ 46 C, system temp rearely hits 35 C. Everyday settings 3DMark 2001se. Edited August 14, 2003 by Rev. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev. Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 (edited) They are like this. They pull air into the blower and out the back of the case. Edited August 14, 2003 by Rev. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev. Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 LOL! Yeah I like AMD..that is an AMD dude standing over an Intel Dude....Intel is good, I just can't put out $600+ for a motherboard and CPU when I can pay $200 and still beat stock 3.06 Ghz P4's on most CPU tests. Now if I could just get my hands on some faster RAM <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BROWNjello109 Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 is it because the cards produce heat? -aaron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 okay there IS a good way to use them with video cards detach them from the back plate, turn fan over, so it's facing down, reatach back plate. place in slot above agp slot if you have one. this way it takes air off the back of the card and gets it out of the case, instead of letting hot air rise into the cpu's area.

Borgy Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 i have one like the SC-180 if you unclip it you can turn it upside down then have it in the top slot above the Graphics card sucking the hot air away from the top of the card Borgy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
