fan Duct on Eclipse

THC_SsSsSnake · 17 Apr 2006 at 09:04

is it worth fiting this optional extra and if so, does it fit inside the case on the rear fan?
thankyou

It fits on the rear fan in the case.

Yeah if your using a stock cooler might aswel put it on.

thanks Saga,so do I use the amber fan screws and go through both the duct and the fan casing together right(guess thats the only way lol)? and the duct points to the mobo right?(dumb questions I know but want to make sure)

thanks

One set of screws up the fan to the case and then another pair go from the duct into the fan if I remember right.

Probably best to screw the duct to the fan then put it in the case and yes its ment to point at the motherboard.

thanks Saga,does it get in the way when building a rig ie should I put it in last?

Put it in last you wouldnt be able to put in the motherboard,cpu,heatsink if it was fixed in place.

One thing I will but in with, build the PC without it, check your temperatures over a couple of days, then fit the ducting, and see if it improves them.

Some ducting (my v1000+) adds 4 degrees to the graphics card temperature when fitted. They work in some rigs, they don't in others. You will have to try it and find out.
