OMG I think my CPU fan has been backwards all this time LOL

When i first finished this computer about 1 month ago i put a Tt ducting mod on my volcano 11 ( :rolleyes: ) I think i screwed the fan on the wrong way s the fan is sucking air off the cpu and blowing it away. It is suppose to blow air on the cpu isnt it?

[ManOfKnight]

if you have the ducting mod on...then yes...you are losing cooling efficiency. i dropped 2C after installing my duct from TT. Hope you get the same results...keep me posted

[amdperson]

Yes, you get the most effective when air is blowing onto the heatsink.

[q149]

I think unless you have a Pal heatsink than blowing should be better than sucking

[Stedeman]

The point of a duct is to take cooler air from outside the case too your CPU. On some HS the fan works better sucking then blowing but not to many and you have a duct as well

:-/ :bang head

yeah i had the ducting mod ever since i built the comp and i jsut realized fans are suppose to blow onto the heatisnk DAMN ME lol

i guess ill switch it...its hard to get at the nuts you gotta put on the bolts with the ducitng mod grr

im at 44-46 degrees right now, i guess ill switch it around and se what i get.
