sdy284 Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 I would try that...but my CPU fan is a tornado....so it'd b kinda pointless Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 (edited) lol i recomend doing this i mean if i put my fan on 5500 rpm then it doesnt make a difference lol but on low its awesome and yep just confermed my temps are now 10c idle lower than before my ambient temp is about 78c i have to test the load temps with some gaming and benchmarks but so far i like it Edited October 26, 2004 by Raptor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvKillz Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Alot of dust will gather in time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 ya i know that but its not that hard to clean out dust and it removes the need of modding a clear side panel on to lol! but the load temps are at 35c and idle 28c so im happy before load was 38c and the load was 45c so a great deal lower temps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 just put up a filter-esque screen like you get in washer/dryers - that will let enough air escape, but catch a great deal of dust. plus you can remove dust easily with a vacuum cleaner, lol, it's what i do!

Raptor Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 good idea im gonna be getting some new ram and cold cathodes from newegg... can i just pic some filter-esque screen or w/e at a hardware store? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 what? my patented "filter-esque" ? look about till you get the best fabric - ie, not too thick, but thick enough to hold dust and look cool with light across it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
