So I looked on nTune and I was wondering to myself "I have a Zalman CPU fan yet my processor never idles below 45 degrees, WHY?"
My Zalman usually runs at about 2860 rpm to.
So today i was bored and thought "**** it i'll open my PC up and see if my Zalman is screwed"
So I take out the Zalman fan, look at it, it's fine, thought to myself "Hummmmmm " and put it in the opposite way round
Instantly my cpu temp dropped from 45 - 39 degrees and the RPM dropped from 2860 to 2777 on a hot day like this
The fan was trying to suck cold air in from the back exhaust fan! :laugh:
Lesson for everyone as stupid as me, make sure your fans are pointing the correct direction, it really helps :laugh: :yay:
