My setup is as follows XP 2700 + .. 400 wat PSU sigle fan, i have 1 fan at rear drawing air out, 1 at side drawing air out, 1 at front drawing air in. i have just installed a Aero 7 + heatsink & Fan thinking this would cool it down a bit but the Temperature has only gone down about 3 or 4 degrees. i must be doing something rong lol any help would be great please Oh and my Temp is on idle at about 47`C and on load about 60`C Edited September 26, 2003 by vinny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azndragon328 Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 try making the side fan as as intake, and watz the rpm of ur fans maybe u need better fans Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobalt Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 The Aero7+ is a nice little cooler but a bit on the short side in CFM displacement around 20 i think full speed . I'm shure with a better fan you'd have lower temps cause the cooler is good copper and all. the blower looks good but i never liked the cfm's of these chipmunk cages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinny Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 OK em the rear fan runs at about 2600 RPM on average but not sure on the side fan or the 1 at front as i cant see the RPM on these ... but ill try turning the side fan arround to see if it makes a difference. and thx for your help guys much appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinny Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 Oh and what sort of case fans would you guys recomend ? and would i be able to put another heatsink fan on the Aero 7 + heatsink ? if so what 1 would i be able to use please.

tazwegion Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 Your options are few, 1) replace the fan unit with say a vantec 80x38mm its 81.5 CFM (problem is it won't flow air evenly over your h/s like the Aero 7+ will & it's noisy!) 2) use the Vantec with a TT duct style mod to recitfy air flow over h/s 3) keep it all and try out this little number I found @ www.svcompucycle.com I was actually wondering how this kit would go as a directed intake w/ boost (additional high cfm fan) <_< Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sainou-Kun Posted September 28, 2003 Posted September 28, 2003 I suggest cleaning up the wires in your case, and looking for higher Rpm fans for your system, Ducting is always a good idea. When you duct use 3 fans or so, higher pressure better cooling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted September 28, 2003 Posted September 28, 2003 (edited) hey guys, since you're on the topic. i have 2 fans in front for intake and have a dualfan psu and another fan in the back for exhaust plus a side fan on exhaust. Do you think i would be better switching the side fan to intake? Right now i'm like 40C on load. I have an aluminum HS, not copper. EDIT: the 40C is by asusprobe...i haven't installed MBM yet. i heard asusprobe lies?

tazwegion Posted September 29, 2003 Posted September 29, 2003 Well ClayMeow, different people will tell you different opinions, personally I believe that air flowing from the front of the case to the back, across the HsF impairs the fans suction (a bit like a stream trying to enter a raging river etc.) Creating intake (high cfm/120mm?) on your side panel, will assist the HsF combo, then personally I'd make the remaining fans exhaust oriented, but this is just my theory, experiment on what is best for your system needs. I wouldn't be suprised if Asusprobe, was inaccurate I downloaded an updated health/utility for my Aopen from their site it's out by more that 10c. Get MBM...... Good luck & post your findings.
