I have this extra case fan lying around.
http://www.svc.com/kd1209pts2-6-86.html
I will be modding my case in some form or fashion tommorow. Here is my case.
I am debating whether to drill new holes in the side to fit this fan to the side duct in front of the dust shield, or install it in the 5.25" drive bay area that is unused (only 1 DVD-R drive)
Either way it will be used as an intake. I want to lower my case temps, obviously, as well as make sure that I have positive pressure.
I will work on this tommorow (off work w00t!), and I am leaning toward the fron of the case.
Also, I may be adding a dryer hose the CPU as well.
I currently have the following case cooling:
Intake:
1x 80mm Apevia LED fans @ 25.64 CFM
1x FM82 92mm fan diameter (80mm frame) @ 72.48 CFM
Exhaust:
1x 80mm Apevia LED fans @ 25.64 CFM
1x FM82 92mm fan diameter (80mm frame) @ 72.48 CFM
CPU cooling
Silverstone FM92 @ 80.92 CFM
If I attached the dryer hose to the intake side of my CPU cooling fan, then attached the intake side of the dryer hose to the exhaust of the Sunon fan that is mounted in a 5.25" drive bay, would this speed up the intake of air toward the CPU? Would this actually hamper the CPU fan's work?
It would be nice to have a CAD program plugin that simulates case fans and case geometry......that would be nice!
Also, I probably will end up buying 2 120mm fans; one for the back and one for the drive bays, then add the spare Silverstone to the side duct.
Suggestions please!
