well many of you probly have more than 1 cpu HS , like i have 2 aluminum ones from amd and the fans are near silent .
well i have noticed a while back ( was just to lazy to say anything) that since they are channeled and near silent i could probly make use of them which i did.
what i did was inverth a fan on them and plugged it in so that the air that comes into my case ( non WC rig) from the front fans hit the channels where the inverted fans suck the air up and propell it to the rest of the case .
my intention was just to get better air flow but reciently i measuerd ambient in my case and it was a full 2C lower than ambient outside my case .
so i touched the HS and they where cold . so i thought about it for a sec
since there is no heat from a proc on them they are kinda chilling the propelled air from the front of the case . so i decided to put both aluminum HS next to each other and let more air channel ( they have the standard pink goopy pads at the bottom so they stick to case well in case you have to move your comp ) and not only was the air flow in the case better and ambient lower but it was noticeably diferent .
so if you have extra power and nothing to do with those stock HSF and HS try it out
