i am thinking of putting a fan above the dvd-rw drive in my computer, you know those covers that pull out, i dont mean the metal bits you pull out, i am thinking of keeping them in but just putting a fan behind them becouse there is gaps inbetween them but will those small gaps be sufficiant enought for a fan to suck air through? its only like a 2mm gap but 4 including 2 gaps, but wont it pull air through the side aswell?
i might have the fan in cd bay sucking out, so again will it be sufficiant for that?
oh, i aint going to spend loads on a fan, the main reason i wanted to do it was the have some blue light in there, as i have a blue cold cathode fan, but if it aint effective then there is no point as it will be a waste of electric.
I do too, but I think my next buy will be an upgrade from Ceramique to AS5, a lapping kit, and maybe some of that cleaner stuff. Thinking about that Arctic Silver has a very nice manual on how to apply the AS to the heatsink.
No idea. I can’t even remember where I found it in the U.S. I saw it one time and just passed it by but a few months later I thought of a use for it and tried to find it. Took me 2 days to find it again. Maybe check “Where to Buy” on their site.
For the 5.25" bays, you can match up 40mm fans that’ll fit in there. That’s also happens to be what the 5.25" drive racks use. You can fit 3 40mm fans in their.
As for air flow, it’s best to have it all going in one direction. Typically, air is pulled in the front of the case and sucked out the back.
