Hey all, I am looking to get a new fan for my 1.4t-bird. my volcano is working perfectly but I doubt that I would get a decent O/C out of her w/ my current temps. I am looking for a quiet yet strong fan to lower my temps by 10-20 degrees. I also want affordable.
My main goal is to O/C my chip. My current temps range from 50c to 60c(w/ Seti running).
I am pretty confident that my current fan placement is adequate if not great...I am just thinking that the VolcanoII cannot handle much more heat.
I currently have 3 empty bays and 2wo of which have hard drive coolers sucking in cool air. I have a large exhaust fan at the rear of my case and my cpu is in front of it...i also have a Enermax P/S that has a exhaust fan right above my cpu. I figure that the exhaust fans help to draw the cool air from the fron bay fans across the cpu..I know they are a little weak but I can feel the cool air drawing across the inside of the case.
I was thinking that maybe the p/s exhaust fan was sucking away the cool air before it could reach the cpu?
Perhaps a front bezel fan from below may work better..any tips?
Thanks all
