Do you guys see any flaws in my duct design
Since my temps don't seem to ever go low, would you guys have any suggestions on making a shroud? Do i basically just wrap the CPU fan with the HSF to make sure that all the airflow goes to the heatsink? What materials should I avoid? What materials should I use? I was thinking some posterboard or cardboard with black electrical tape. Basically I just form a cup and put it around the fan and the top of the heatsink (but the SK-7 is far larger than my SF2 fan). On the back of the cup (the closed part touching the heatsink) I'll cover up the holes with additional posterboard or cardboard taped on with electrical tape. To guarantee more air doesn't leak out that side, i'll tape up every hole and surround the cup with electrical tape in which the electrical tape is place on the heatsink and the cup. Any suggestions or help with my idea? Is electrical tape safe on a heatsink fan or would the heatsink fan get hot enough that the electrical tape would fall off?
