Now my computer was running pretty hot i noticed.... when i touched the inside and it was hot enough for me to take my hand away at first touch.. (i smell burnt toast ) http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum1/noncgi/cwmsmilies/cwm3.gif
So i bought 2 fans
1 is a Galaxy Cooler, hooks into the mobo for power
1 is a Misuko cooler, attaches to the power supply
Now my problem is that the fan that is attached to the processor is taking up the only 3 pronged port i can find for the new cooler. Now my idea was to put the galaxy cooler on the outside of the case and pump cool air in towards the processor. Now, as you can see, i can either keep the processor fan witch by the way is 2 inches across compared to the new 3 inch one i just bought, or install the new glaxy cooler and just blow cool in through a duct towards the processor. I guess my question is, if i took cool air from outside the case and blew it in from a bigger fan would it be more effective than having the weenie fan there blowing warm air at the processor.
Sys Specs:
Pentium II 450mhz
128mb ram
Mobo: says SiS on most the chips
And a 40 gig 5200 rpm hd that is HOT to the touch (i only have one fan and it barely works) http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum1/noncgi/cwmsmilies/cwm25.gif
Any help\suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
