it this normal

Thats the first thing i thought!

thanks for the reply
that calms me down. thanks once again.

well the air is not boiling hot, but hot. much hotter than the temperature in the case. one more thing. i have five case fans installed in my case. i wanted to know if this is a problem that when i disconnect the case fans, the cpu temp normally stays around 60 deg without load and the case gets hot, whereas if i reconnect the fans, the temp stays around 48 deg without load. but the fans are too loud, i mean when i start my pc it sounds like a room cooler has started lol. following are the specs of my system:
pentium D 820 (2.8ghz)
asus p5b deluxe
256mb kingston ddr2 533 (value ram) (well i know this is less but will buy more soon)
connect3d x700 256mb
msi tv @nywhere
470W thermaltake tru2
sony dvd writer

Well, im giving the advice that i think is right. My thoughts of right and wrong come from you. Judge urself before judging me, especially because my only goal is to help and im not trying to hurt anyone in any way.

The hot air is going to be a problem no matter what. Do u think that ppl who buy PSU's with 14cm fans wich are mounted on the bottom and drive all the hot DIRECTLY on the CPU are complaining?

Since ive reveresed my PSU fan, it's temperature has decreased by over 20C. My components arent affected because of all my outake fans. Quite an ingenious system i think. Imagine if the CPU's fan was not blowing towards it but away from it, like the PSU fan. It would surely become too hot to be used.

you goram n00b, what the hell are you talking about? and why do you keep defending this stupid position? you are telling us that by reversing the fans on your PSU (which voids the warranty but that's for another thread) and blowing all the hot air down in the case cools off the CPU? are you retarded? did you eat paint as a child? there has to be a logical explanation for your crappy idea and mental retardation is the only option at this point.

BLOWING HOT AIR INTO YOUR CASE WILL NOT COOL IT OFF.

end of story, hot air does nothing but NOT COOL THE AIR. by your logic, a hot air balloon should fall instead of rise because apparently moving hot air cools things off and so blowing hot air into a balloon should cool off the inside and make it fall...but it doesnt...hmm...i wonder why...maybe because hot air IS HOT!

Fantastic! That was a crucial case flaw in my next build.

Although, this confirms my theory that reversing the fan is a good thing, and not the oposite. The 14cm fans are reversed and blowing air onto the PSU, just like mine. And i didnt have to buy a 200$ PSU just to have this. See how cool modding is? Also, my PSU only has an 8cm fan blowing cold air into it, and its frozen cold.. so i dont see the need for a 14cm, but the more the better i suppose. Only problem is u cant regulate the PSU fan's speed. You'd have to go out and buy a whole new fan and mount it by urself, connecting is to the PSU in another way. Then u could regulate the speed using the handy Zalman fan mate.

When you say "its temperature", what are you referring to? The PSU? Or the CPU? Either way, 20C is a rather large drop to attribute just to mucking about with your PSU fans. :?

The PSU fan ofcourse. If anything, my CPU temps have elevated.. although i doubt that. But they have defenately not decreased.

You are right. I will buy a filter.
Dont care too much about this PC, but even if i didnt have any outake fans inside my case, and my CPU's temps elevated 20C, that would still only ammount to 70C.

I don't find this analogy useful. My CPU HSF is an AC Freezer 7 Pro. The fan blows air above/across, not vertically towards or away from the CPU. According to Core Temp 0.95 my CPU temps idle in the low 20's C. (I don't actually trust those readings, but don't know how to get an "honest" reading. Both Gigabyte's EasyTune 5 and SpeedFan 4.32 are under the delusion that the CPU temp is 9 C. And I know that must be completely bogus!)

-john, the ostensibly clueless redundant legacy-in-transition dinosaur

The fan pushes the air onto the heatsink. This ammounts to it blowing the air downwards (in respect to it's degree of installation of course).
My analogy indicates that if the fan was not blowing the air downwards, onto the heatsink, but rather upwards, away from the heatsink, the cooling would be much less effective.

Whats a defect, that my PSU fan was an outake and not an intake?
I dont think thats a defect.

Reading this is giving me a headache

I was a noob. Until u tought me. Now go! Spread ur knowledge forward!

yup. the entire case was reversed. So air went in the back over the cpu(the psu was over the cpu, as in sideways) and out the front cooling the hard drive.
