Whitelightning Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 I noticed lastnight that the back side of my monitor heated up a bit. my way of thinking was...that hot air is getting sucked into my rig...so at 3am I rigged up a 92mm fan hanging over top of it....nothing fancy but it gets the job done!!!

TheSternMystic Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Why don't you open up the Monitor Case and mount it inside? Fun little project.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelightning Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Oh sure....give me another project to do..........lol.........never thought of that....maybe install a piece of plexi glass in it with a 80 mm led fan.....sounds like a weekend project!!!!!!!!!

kobalt Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Monitors do heat up, it's pretty normal but if you want to add a fan since warm air rises put it low to help the process or on top but exausting upwards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asus Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Monitors do heat up, it's pretty normal but if you want to add a fan since warm air rises put it low to help the process or on top but exausting upwards ya.. monitors do get hot.. they can also operate under heavy stress in cold or hot temps.. so.. it realy wont make a diffrence with a fan... just would make more noise that what its worth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanksta Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Oooo! dang that's a good idea! A Monitor with Cathodes in the sides! WICKEDNESS! i think that would get really annoying, like bright cathodes right in ur face Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciddono Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 My (errr...red) cathode in my case gets annoying too, that's why i have it switched. Besides, the lights could shine backwards, illuminating the wall in a dark room, a cool effect i would think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
