PCI fan

[Holysky]

I'm sorry, but I really doubt that airflow is enough to really change anything. In my eyes these fans are just rip offs.

Yea they should prevent his 8800gt from hitting 80'C

If not, they are worth some bragging rights and if you can get UV reactives look cool

Yeah! Airflow is a scam! Just mount this on your card and you should be good to go.

Note: card will look like this:

Hey, why not?


I'm just saying that I don't think those fans will push enough air through there to make much of a change. They aren't big fans, and if you're trying to cool 2 cards you're only hitting the top of one of them anyhow.

The fin spacing on the Scythe Orochi (pictured heatsink) is pretty big. Doesn't take high-RPM fans to move air through it.

My point was, it is a passive cooler, because airflow is a ripoff.

Putting a standard case fan running perpindicular to the card does decrease temps by a good bit. Load temps on my 4850 x2 went down 8C when I put an 80mm fan in the drive bays, blowing out the extra PCI slots.

What about a fan that blows air into the PCI slots from the side, and then place another at where you tell me to try to add to?

[_____]____ <-air (fan)
[-fan-]card |<-air (fan)
[-fan_]____ <-air (fan)
[-fan-]----- <-air (fan)
[-fan-]----- <-air (fan)
[-fan_]____ <-air (fan)
[-fan-]card |<-air (fan)
[_____]____ <-air (fan)

Sorry about the bad diagram, hopefully you guys get the gist of it.

 

[foothead]

Oh gosh. I don't follow.

Do you mean the fan will run parallel or perpendicular to the card?

 

[sniperviper21]

just get a new case?

tossn out an idea.

 

[foothead]

^ He did.
