I'm sure all of you know from the THG case study, sometimes you can have too much cooling. I've experienced this. I put in a 3.5 induction fan, which actually caused the temperature inside the case (from BIOS) to increase by 5 degrees. I didn't do any tests with smoke or anything, but I could only figure that I disrupted the flow of air. Be careful people =)

If only the AmVidia story were true! Those funny ATI guys...

The only way that adding a new fan would increase the tmep is if the airflow was disturbed, or maybe the fan was blowing the wrong way.


If they squeeze olives to get olive oil, how do they get baby oil?

Yes please remember:

fan----> <----fan

Doesn't do any good. The effects cancel and we are left with nothing but heat.

OBTW, the problem is cancelled cooling effects not overcooling.
