thinking of how to make a weird mod.

Earlier i posted that i fooled around with my hand seing where heat was actuily coming from/going. and found out, that the video card blows 90% of its heat right into the cpu heatsink.

while this isint really bothering me, as my pc works fine as it is, I was wondering if I could rig some weird kinda.. plastic vent thing to go over top of the video card area, and that be atached to the 120mm rear fan. to suck all that heat out and not let it get on my precious cpu...

also note im 16, and never made a mod before :P so no extremely crazy ideas lol

That's why intel designed btx in the first place. You can always use an arctic silencer to expose of hot air from the gpu.

Your mod might depend on your cpu placement... some are pretty near the top of the board and some are near the middle. There may not be very much room for a plastic vent thing unless you made it yourself.

I think if you use a tower HSF (scythe ninja, CM hyper6) the effects of the heat from your graphics card aren't so bad. Same idea with BTX, with air flowing parallel to the board.
