G-Man, I received your recent advice about possibly disabling the intake =
fan in the side wall of my computer. This lead to experimenting with =
all three of my case fans. I have one in the front blowing across my =
two hard drives, one exhaust fan in the back, and one on the upper back =
portion of the left side of my case blowing straight across the opening =
to the CPU. You advised disabling this fan to see if there was any =
difference. All three fans have three fan speeds. I've been =
experimenting with different speeds on each fan, then I disabled the =
side fan altogether. I do find a possible temperature drop of 1-3 =
degrees at times, but it shoots back up into the 50's as usual when =
using the graphically intensive Paint Shop Pro during digital =
scrapbooking, which uses very large files. My question is, what would =
be the best place to move this side fan - front or back? I do not have =
an air flow director (or whatever you call the plastic tunnel). I do =
have an nVidia GeForce 6600 graphics card with a fan on it, but the =
cards are too low in the case for the side fan to have been blowing on =
them.
Thanks.
