I haven't done this, but was wondering if anyone had tried it....
If you have an HSF with a top mounted fan (which will be pointing sideways when mounted in the case) why not cut a hole in the side of your case and put a duct straight from the hole to the top of the HSF so that the fan on the cpu is using air thats room temp instead of case temp? I've seen people that have fans mounted on the side of the case blowing on the cpu, etc. But why not have the CPU fan intself sucking the air though a duct?
Anyone done this? Comments? etc?
Thanks
