KraZy Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Ok, here, is a -mod in progress-, so ignore the fact that the 120mm is just -sitting- on top of the rough-cut, over-glued, plexi... Working through several duct designs now, and I'm kinda crank'n out the betas versions quick-like. For this mod, I kept the design simple, but am having a problem(?) with the 120mm forcing more air through the hsk fan and cranking up the speed of the fan an additional 400 to 700 RPM. Is this causing undue stress on the hsk fan? I am really not sure about the mechanics of the fans themselves.... And for those who care, the main duct is oversized for a reason. Not only are we getting fresh air directly to the cpu, the flow around the edges hsk will help 'wash' away the air that is getting forced through the hsk itself. (in my guesses, anyway...) Have I got the right idea going here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkos Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 hmm......well it looks sweet anyway! try it and let us all know how well it works Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilMB3017 Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Your problem is that the CPU Fan isn't getting enough air to cool with. You need an 60 MM fan or so at the bottom forcing air to the CPU Fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KraZy Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 So you are saying that it might be the BIOS, and not the force of the air that is making the speed change? If I was to mount a 60mm at the bottom of the duct, it will still create the problem of overspeeding the hsk fan. -Current marks- Ath XP 1.93ghz O'cd to 2.31ghz (light load testing for now, with SiSandra's CPU Bench looping x5) Idle /wo duct : 44c Load /wo duct : -crash- (Logs peaked at 55c) Idle /w duct : 37c Load /w duct : 39c Freaking awesome for test runs...

ATI Radeon 8500 Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 You can simply remove that fan if you run the 120mm over it and have it ducted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpandapuss Posted January 29, 2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Nice TEST results..... Like ATI said change the fan 120mm [more cfs]. Before I forget, I like that idea.....nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
