My case mod

[Guest]

I am going to hook up my 15in fan to the side of my case. That should cool things down a bit don't yah think?

I just open the case and blow a 12" fan into it when I want maximal overclocking. Your method should work.

My old amd k6's fan isn't running at full rpm anymore so when it gets hot I just put the 15in fan on it, cools it down nicely. Before that when I ran anything cpu intensive it would blue screen. No good cooling air in the world can beat a 15in fan blowing on everything. Might even put a small freezer behind it to blow cool air too. When I buy my new mobo/cpu I want to be my tbird running at 150mhz fsb, the fan should help that don't yah think?

I'll be saving a lot of money not buying expensive case cooling and hsf

Maybe a chest freezer with the tower set inside will do the trick and the top can double as your desk! ;^)

If I put it in the chest freezer their could be condensation to worry about. I could just set the temp down so that won't happen but set it so it is still cool...
I just realized that I have a 20in fan that I could use too. This sucker can really move some air around. Put that right next to my case and you've got a great cooler! Only thing is that it is really freaken loud It is pretty much an airplane propeller.

Heh, decided to get my 20in fan out. At max speed it pumps a hella lot of air through the case. I keep my room temp at around 18 too

For $10, you can take it to the next level at that. Put in a dryer duct and some cheap vinyl ducting. If you live up north (-5C), you can cool your case and discharge the heat into your home.
