Really need to get round to putting the computer back together.

lay-z-boy · 24 Jun 2009 at 02:46

Your cpu fan is the wrong way around. Needs to blow air out the back.

Screw that hard drive in before you stand on it as well.

johnno93 · 24 Jun 2009 at 02:49

the fan is blowing air through the heatsink which is then taken out by the case fan

HOOOOOWWWW do you get the flash to act a bit more natural? Every time I take photos with my SLR, you can always tell the flash has fired no matter what white balance and flash setting it is on!

Same. Surely that is the point? To create a flow? Air comes in through the front, through the heatsink and is then blown out the top and back of the case (fans on top and back obviously, and two at front pulling air in)

I want a mouse prayer mat too

if only for comedic effect when gusts are round LOL as I won't actually use it over my Destructor!

As for the pic, bounced flash

Then you're all doing it wrong.

The fan is supposed to suck air in from the front, blow it through the sink and the rear case fan to extract it out of the pc. In his pic, the fan is sucking air through the heatsink and blowing into the cd drive bays. At least the exhaust fan is facing the right way.

I'll get my phone and post a pic in a sec.

Noel Gallagher · 24 Jun 2009 at 13:03

^is that the pic of how it's ment to be done then?

that is a pretty epic heatsink, 2 fans

Uh, lol?

You're all saying the same thing...

It's pretty obvious.

Air in front, out back.

That's not how his fans are arranged. Hence my post.

Yeah, as mrk said it's bounced off a nice white ceiling. Heres a comparison:
