Sharkoon fan on accelero S1...which way around?

tyranus · 29 Nov 2007 at 11:16

Sorry for the n00b question (again) I'm going to be fitting a sharkoon fan to an accelero S1, I've asked in the graphics forum and had no answer, is it best to blow onto the heat sink or to draw air away?

Plus which way is that for the fan, sticker side or not?

Cheers guys.

Cable tie it on?

I think that is the way lots have done it.

Blowing towards is the way i've always heard is the best. I remember a review of a Hr-03 on a 8800gtx on Toms Hardware. They did it with a fan blowing towards and away. I think blowing towards was slightly better.

Each to their own but I think this looks very scrappy. Some mounting screws into the fins would be better, IMO.

I'm not keen on the idea trust me

I had an accelero X2 on my X1800Xt and i loved it, shame there isn't one for the 8800Gt.
