Blower cards?

[Cyber-Mav]

Do blower type cards that push heat out the back make a large difference in case temps over the non blower type cards?

Case temps are down to case airflow.

A blower in a midget ITX is helping with case temps more than an open fan cooler sharing the heat around.

But you stick a blower in a massive EATX case with a wall of case fans, is that blower really meaningful compared to the excessive airflow going through the case anyway.

do blower fans dump all 100% heat out the back or is there still some left in the case?

The whole card will get warm and heat the air inside the case a bit even with the blower dumping heat outside.

Blower fans will definitely help case temps vs a 2/3 fan dumping heat inside the case as the majority of the heat is exhausted with a blower design.

However, they will still put some heat in the case. They are also louder too as it's 1 fan vs 2/3 fans.

personally i always avoid blowers to much noise and not that efficient.
