I would recommend adding one intake fan (or even relocating the existing fan) in a filtered location. This is not (directly) for cooling, but to maintain positive pressure inside the case. If your exhaust is greater than the intake, then it pulls in air wherever it can, this leads to dust being pulled in at all the seams. By having an intake fan that is filtered, then it results in far less dust inside the case, so the fans and heatsinks stay clean and therefore more efficiently cool the system.
Jason, That's good information. I wondered about mounting a fan so it pulls air in but didn't pursue learning the pros and cons. I'll take your advice. Thank you. Stay well and have a happy new year, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
