AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW BY NOW THE MORE FANS YOU HAVE IN YOUR RIG THE COOLER IT CAN BE KEPT INSIDE, BUT YOU CANT JUST GO THROWING FANS WHEREVER YOU LIKE, CAUSE IT MIGHT MAKE IT HOTTER CREATING A TORNADO EFFECT INSIDE YOUR PC. I'LL TRY AND EXPLAIN.

WE ALL HAVE A POWER SUPPLY FAN IN OUR PC ( IN THE ILLUSTRATION IT IS IN THE TOP LEFT HAND CORNER ) AND THIS BLOWS AIR OUT THE BACK. THIS IS FINE, BUT ALOT OF NEWER CASES HAVE A PORT FOR A FAN IN THE FRONT OF THE CASE AS WELL. MANY PEOPLE BUY A FAN AND INSTALL IT THERE THINKING AHHHH.... MY PC WILL RUN COOLER NOW, STOP. IT WILL ONLY RUN COOLER IF IT IS BLOWING OR SUCKING AIR THE CORRECT WAY TO WHERE IT IS SITUATED IN THE CASE. IN THIS CASE IT IS DOWN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER AND SHOULD BE SUCKING AIR IN TO GIVE GOOD AIR FLOW, NOT BLOWING OUT AND CREATING A TURBINE EFFECT INSIDE THE PC.

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS PIC THE FAN NOW SUCKS AIR IN AND IS CREATING A FREE FLOWING AIR CHAIN ACROSS THE CASE. AND BLOWS COLD AIR OVER THE ALL THE HOT COMPONENTS INSIDE. YOU CAN HAVE MORE THAN TWO FANS OF COURSE, BUT WHEN YOU DO HAVE TWO FANS SIDE BY SIDE THEN THEY SHOULD BLOW OR SUCK AIR TOGETHER AND NOT WORK AGAINST EACH OTHER.

IN THIS PIC WE CAN SEE TWO FANS UP TOP LEFT HAND CORNER BLOWING AIR OUT, ONE FAN AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER SUCKING AIR IN, AND ONE HARD DISK DRIVE COOLER UP THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER. THIS SETUP WORKS BECAUSE IT FOLLOWS THE SAME PRINCIPALS AS THE PIC ABOVE AND THE HDD COOLER UNIT DOES'NT BLOW ENOUGH AIR TO CREATE A STORM INSIDE.

THERE ARE MANY COMBINATIONS THAT YOU CAN TRY AT HOME AND USING ALOT MORE FANS AS WELL, THE MAIN THING TO REMEMBER IS TO KEEP THE AIR FLOWING ACROSS THE CASE AND NOT MAKING THE FANS WORK AGAINST EACH OTHER.

TRY TO GET AS BIG A CASE AS YOU CAN AFFORD AS WELL, THE BIGGER THE BETTER FOR COOLING YOUR NEW RIG. ALSO KEEP ALL THOSE WIRES AND CONNECTORS TIED UP AND PLACED NEATLY IN YOUR MACHINE AS THIS WILL AID COOLING AS WELL. WHEN YOU TIE UP THE LEADS IN YOUR RIG AND HIDE THOSE WIRES IT CAN AID COOLING DRAMATICALLY AND IT DOESNT TAKE MUCH TIME EITHER.
