Building New System, Thinking ADM XP 1600. Looking at Zalman 3100 (Looks Cool) I Know the Reviews Don't Look all that Good But they seam to do Mutch Better With Biger Fans. Whith Hoot's Cohesive Air Setup ???? What Do You Think?????:beer:

You can polish a turd, but it's still a turd.

I Didn't Want to Polish the Turd Just Increase the Air Flow Around it To Increase Cooling, Even a Turd Would Dry up Faster With Incerased Air Flow, Hu Wonder If a Heat Sink Would speed the Rate of a Turd Drying?

There are very few air cooled heatsinks made that would not benefit from more airflow, not to mention the quality airflow produced by a centrifugal blower. The secondary benefit is that you do not need any case fans since the blower produces enough velocity and force to replace the air in even the biggest case about every 1-2 seconds. All you need to provide is an exit hole as far away from the entry point as possible. Forget the Northbridge and Video card fans also.

Thans Hoot, Thin I'll Give it A Try, Using a Antec sx1000 Case Think I Will Seal off the 2 Rear Fan Holes, and the Lower Frount Leaving the Hole In Frount of the HD Bay open and add a Exhaust port on the top of case.(May Be Some Kind of Dampened Luver afair to Keep the Positive Pres. Even at Dif. Fan Speeds)
Do you think That a Dual Fan PS Will Mess up The Air Flow???:beer:

No, don't add an exhaust port on top. Seal up the two rear holes and leave the two front 80mm holes open. That will work the best. Your PSU fan will provide enough draw for encouraging circulation in the upper part of the case. I've said this until I'm blue in the face, but the old tenet that heat rises only applies in the absence of forced airflow. With the veritable hurricane raging through your case from a centrifugal blower, the heat will certainly not waft slowly up to the top of the case. Trust me.

Like this? :eh?:
Man speaks the truth though, (as if you needed me to tell you that). Try to keep it to one entrance and one exit (plus the PSU).
Peace
