Yes I didn't mention that, I do have an 8CM fan at the front down the bottom pulling air in. Thinking about it though that has been blocked off by a box of junk I put in front of it.
I will spend some time over the weekend experimenting with different configurations of air flow within the case and post the results on Monday. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DHSinclair Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2008 1:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] Water-cooling Gary, This may be very old-school, but I get the best cooling when I allow air IN from the case front and exhaust warmed air out the back of the case (Lian-Li PC-69's). Does your case have air vents in the front? If not, and all your fans are in the 'exhaust' mode, you may be trying to pull air out of a static pocket. I'd buy into what the Beave said; turn the side cover fans around to blow IN. At least this will give your case positive pressurization.
