Can't get ram up to speed

What about this?
Delta FFB1212EHE-F00 120mm Case cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=35-213-010

 

[Johan45]

What are you gonna do with that screemin mimi ?

 

[Draven25]

Figure I'd mount it through back of case blowing on the back of the board. No?

LOL why not just get a wind turbine then LOL

Great fan draven but maybe a bit overkill no? LOL

BTW What case do you have?

 

[Johan45]

Ya I was thinking something more like this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...7&cm_re=slim_fan_120mm-_-35-705-067-_-Product It'll fit inside with the side panel on and be a lot quieter that the Delta. Those things are LOUD. The one in my pic is just a small chipset fan. Really all it needs is some circulation back there.

Nzxt switch 810 is my case. Figured it would cool socket for CPU and NB sockets too. But I guess I can go small. And don't say that's what she said

 

[Mandrake4565]

And don't day that's what she said

Sucks the 810 doesn't have a fan mount on the right side panel, that would make things a lot more convenient, or you could jigsaw it like I did to my Silverstone TJ07.

I was intending for the backside of the Mobo

Same here. Just cut the right side panel and mout it there blowing on the back to help cool the socket. Bad idea?

 

[Johan45]

I didn't cut a hole and got a 10° drop in temps. All I did was use double sided tape and stuck it to the cooler bracket.

 

[Draven25]

Yeah but you were just aiming for CPU socket. I'm going for both in one shot. I want to "cost effectively" cool both.

 

[Johan45]

If you take another look at that pic you'll see a row of chips on the backside to the right. Those things will get up over 100c when pushing the CPU. That airflow back there is more important than you think for the VRM as well. If I were to do one or the other it would be on the back. In reality you can't do both with one fan any other way. If you have an old HS from another processor you can rig up the fan off of it back there just to try it out.

 

[Draven25]

That's what I'm trying to do. Put one beefy fan on the right side of my case behind the mobo.

 

[Johan45]

It's up to you but a decent 120x15 would do the. If you're no opposed to whacking a hole in the case that's even better but a bigger fan would have to be mounted on the outside of the case unless you have more than an inch of space between the door and board. It would just look tidier.

 

[Draven25]

I planned on cutting out the sheet metal and using the piece to cut and make a "duct".

 

[Johan45]

This is what I was going for, not sure what you'd be doing with duct work.

 

[Draven25]

Partly in the case part out and use the pieces as a shroud.

 

[Johan45]

Like I said a slim fan is enough air and a lot less work.

 

[Draven25]

Maybe your right. Maybe just drill some holes to pull in a bit of air instead of cutting it up.

 

[Johan45]

Like I said earlier try with just a fan inside and see if it's enough, you might not need a hole at all.
