Re: omg fan trouble
Fans usually come with screws, or at least mine did. and I agree......you need some exhaust in that case, and cut out those vents in the back, they will kill the airflow.
this thread reminds me that I need to clean up the inside of my case to get better airflow.

Re: omg fan trouble
I might do to tell the truth. You know all the power cables with molex connectors? Well I have a few of them just floating inside the case, so that could be blocking the big 120mm fan from getting air through. Looks a bit of a mess.
Good luck with the fans ACDC ROX

Re: omg fan trouble
Yeah, it looks like to clean mine though, I'll have to dissconnect wires anmd start over, as they're all together
Terrible lol.... I just wanted to get it started so didn't really bother about cabling when I built it.
Still runs rather cool though, and the side panel has broke...hehe

Re: omg fan trouble
well for me, thats what I have to do also, disconnect all the wires because I have a lot of wires, I have fan controllers that I can controll 6 of my 7 fans in my case, that adds to the wiring, my heatsink has more wires than normal, (thermaltake volcano 12) as well as a molex connector.

Re: omg fan trouble
Your systems still too hot. I was just looking at my mom's Athlon XP system that I built before (there was a problem with mouse). I noticed that I had the top and side fan installed wrong so I reversed them. Now instead of the CPU running around 55 degrees, it's now running a cool 37-38 degrees celsius. Huge drop in temp. Both measurements were taken at night with average room temperatures. What direction is the air blowing on the CPU?
