Cooling fans

[loonsluv]

I'm curious. I bought a Vcool fan, and it fit in the computer beside my video card, where do I mount the regular box fans if I buy more? I'm new at using fans.

How about tome more details? My psychic abilities are broken today so I can't tell what kind of case you have.

Re: Cooling fans

I'm taking it he means regular fans such as 80x80 or 120x120.

More than likely , your case may have an additional spot. they can be spotted on eiter the front or back by little holes i na square shape the size fo the fan they can hold.

Remember when cooling your pc the best thing you can do is create a tornado effect inside. Hence have it i na push - pull scenario. ie: one pulling air in and one exhausting it out. I use only a few fans but mainly I don't because my system is pure custom and I have a custom water cooling setup ran through it.

exactly a good airflow is very important...i put away all my power suppy's wires yesterday and placed a fan in the front, now i have a good airflow and my graphicscard gets only 33-45 C on silent mode with a zalman cooler...so airflow very important, but you can't really create one in a dell sorry... i havea dell 4400 myself and it has this weird cooling system that cools the case and the cpu at the same time... might wanna get rid of that first and buy a good case fan, than there should be room in the front for another fan and you'll be fine...

Re: Cooling fans

Oh yeah , if your case is cluttered airflow no matter how many fans wont do sheet for you. clean it up. Wrap the cables and find somewhere for them. I guess im lucky , my case has just enough room behind the mobo panel for them all.
