hardnrg Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 it's quite usual for the front fans to have the least airflow... to start with... my case still has the stupid little vents in the bezel.... basically, where the fans are mounted you will want to cut out the metal mesh thing (usually they are punched squares) to make a bit metal hole instead of a mesh... if you don't have any kind of vent in your bezel then it would be a good idea to cut out a hole in your bezel, you can get some of that rubber edge stuff to put round the hole and then put a fan grill over it... should be much better!

Agallion Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 some cases come with 6 or 7 fans bud..its not ur place to voice ur opinion here about weither u like the idea of 5 fans or not Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 why ppl need 6 case fan?? even my mobile2500xp was 12 X 180 i only have 1 heatsink.. i think just about everyone has one heatsink on their cpu <_< pretty much all cases need at least one intake and one exhaust to move the hot air from the cpu hs/f, graphics card, and northbridge out the case and to bring fresh air in...

hardnrg Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 heh heh, 15? i have 5 case fans... i'd have a hard time trying to fit 15 in there! like i'd have to fill my entire top and side windows with pure fan action and then maybe mod the front bezel some more!
