I have a Volcano 6Cu and was thinking of ducting it to see if I can get better performance from it.
Right now, I have: 1 intake fan on the inside front of the case, 1 exhaust fan (actually a replacement fan for the top of the 6Cu) + PSU Fan
I got 2 replacement fans from ThermalTake when mine blew out and they didn't want it back so I was thinking of turning my one on the heatsink to blowing out, then running a duct to the other fan that is also blowing out of the case.
Since both fans are nearly identical in RPM, I was thinking that would create a nice airflow away from the heatsink.
What so you all think about:
a) Blowing air away from the 6Cu or other sinks you've tried (I've seen mixed results in reviews) and
b) Ducting with the two fans I described above.
Thanks for the opinios / help.
