Good luck OP.

even though im not positive on this project but i always wish innovation is successful and welcomed.

Day 3 of the saga... Where is this puppy at? =)

Are we to take this as though those who doubted were correct??

Um... day four...

yep i think he MIGHT be struggle to post anything positive and worthwhile.

I don't think that is it. I think his invention trapped so much heat that the computer and possibly his whole house caught on fire. With that kind of damage to contend with, posting on Tomshardware doesn't really fit into one's priorities.

day five.... darn. I was really hoping to hear about the blue smoke in detail.

Hehe, this is not a design that will work. A simple example from every-day experience that can help to show why not: Does the wind ever blow at you from opposite directions at the same time? Nope.... Will fans blowing opposite directions create a net air-flow? Not likely... The OP's only hope is to create enough positive pressure over the top of the HS to blow air down through it. I highly doubt that it will be even as good as a single fan pointed straight down over the HS, or one through its blades.

But points for having the gusto to try it.

Ok... I think this is day six. I say after another 100 or so days, I am going to have to give up on this thread.

He tried it? Perhaps he went deaf from wind shear.

OP, use 3 fans for case fans, cool everything. Add ducting if you would like. More cool air and better CPU air exhausting will be of far more benefit than this bizarre creation, and I hope you've done that by now.

zipz0p what you said i have said before but he disagreed with me. but i guess he might have find out that we are right.

OH.... I am soooooo sooooo soooo disapointed in this thread. Come back OP. Tell us of the blue smoke, the nice firemen that came, how scary it was to see flames shooting from your computer... etc.

I know iluvgillgill... several other people made the point as well, but I thought I'd put it in slightly different words, to try to explain to the OP why it won't (and almost certainly didn't) work.

I still hope the OP comes back to tell us what happened - there's nothing like experimenting yourself to see how things work (or don't work).

It seems with all this curiosity someone could build this real quick with hot glue and cardboard just to see it work (or not).

4 fans
4 - 3pin to 1x4 power adapters
1 power supply (with green and a black jumpered)

I have lots of 80mm fans here I might even do it just to see. I think I could put it together in 5 min.
