Meh.. both me and pikey must be reading the fans wrong

Justsomebloke · 29-03-2007, 20:52

Just weird that the blades are different but me being wrong is cool as it means no switching around. Didn't mean to pick fault

Admiral Huddy · 29-03-2007, 21:07

No faults picked.. haha You did get me thinking which is good.. how else do we learn if not by error ? Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'm going to reseat the fan this weekend with a nice new layer on AS5.. I'll check the direction with some tissue.. Looking a the blades.. you aren't wrong.. it does appear to blowing in the wrong direction ..

If you're worried about the fan on the Freezer 64, yeah, it's a wierd one. Custom made, mounts and everything. Definitely blows through the fins though, as per the diagram.

looking at the fan very closely, if the fan rotates clockwise... then the impeler will push air through the fins to the back.... thus comparing it to the case fans which is blowing hot air out.

If the fan spins in anti-clockwise.. i'd expect the opposite..

BTW, that case is about the same size as my CM stackers. They both have two 12cm low-RPM fans front and back, and you won't find me complaining about temperatures.

What is your Mobo running at .. Got about 49oc at load here

Mark · 30-03-2007, 11:59

48 on the Pentium 4. Haven't checked the C2D for a few weeks (was in low-50s when new, but might have gone down a degree or two since).

Old case would be about 5C more on the CPU, and 15C more on the disks (which appears not to have been very healthy for them).

Admiral Huddy · 30-03-2007, 12:13

Oh so 49oc is about right then?

Hopefully will have to 2 12cm fans on the front this weekend.

49C won't hurt it but seems a bit highish (depending on overclock). My E6600 is overclocked to 3.24 GHz and runs flat out, 24/7, at 40C with an Arctic Freezer 7.

I'd reseat the CPU if I were you, making sure you use the correct amount of AS5 - too much can be as detrimental as too little
