How To Cool Your PC

This is how to cool your pc for better speeds, and longer life.

First off You will need the same about of intake that you have you need the same outtake fans to improve airflow so say your intaking 30 feet cubed a minute then you want a outtake fans of 30 feet cubed a minute. = Good airflow.

my first one so go easy on me.

Step 1: INTAKE

Well so i have 2 120 MM Intake fans and there set on low so i have about a 2.2 meters cubed intake a minute. Remember this number.

Better to have positive air flow, or it is a vacuum and sucks up every particle of dust it can.

the idea is to over presurise the case not too vacum it !
and if dust is a problem just put a polen filter in front of intake vents.
if you seen big cuper comp rooms, you would know that

This is kind of pointless. I have the exact same case, and this is essentially just an overview of what the manual that came with it said. Please, if you are going to make an instructable, don't make one that basically says nothing new.

He's not saying it just for that specific case. He's also saying it for people who may or may not have a case that states that.

Is the fans loud?

ARE the fans loud... And yes. They are terribly noisy. But, you can adjust each fan's speed individually. So the noise level is dependant on what you are doing at that moment.

I get it, 'cause it has fans right? Teeheehee?

shooby in reply to Skor459Sep 18, 2008. 7:07 AM

Nope. Otherwise it would make equal sense to say the opposite, that it's a bright idea. You get it, 'cause it has lights.

Big 120mm fans are much better at moving more air at a quieter lever but some of us *maybe just me* don't have the privilege of having such a beautimous beast of a case.

In that case, you get to throw noise levels out the window and install some VANTEC TD8038H 80mm Case Fan. They blow out a heck of a lot of air but sound like a vacuum cleaner. Especially if you happen to have 5 of them running :)
