Computer Air circulation. PC with only CPU Heat sink
P4 2.8ghz HT, 1.5gb memory, 160gb hd, Ati Radeon 9550 256mb agp 8x.
I have 1 intake system fan with a removable fan duct pointing toward the CPU large heat sink. when i upgrade the power supply with a new one it change the air circulation making the CPU heatsink much hotter than usual when computer is doing something intense. The new large power supply has vents on both side but one is block by computer panel and back area also has a vent but space is limited because of two CD/DVD optical drives. the older small power supply has vent below which take out the hot air from the heatsink quicker, the back has vent and also has more space. Is it better to remove the fan duck/heatsink and replace it with a CPU fan/w heatsink or getting a PCI cooling solution that suck air or one that blow air inside the case. which one do you recommend? |

Best option is to replace it with a CPU fan/heatsink. You get better
cooling, as the fan is directly on the heatsink and is designed for it. -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com -- "GT" wrote in message ...
