Greatly improved cooling ...

Obasau · 03-29-2002, 06:59 PM

I just brought my casetemp down to 19 degC (measured by KR7a temp sensor, which has absolutely no airflow areound it) with just a cardboard box and some ducttape.

here are the pics

before: just the ac vent, blowing straight up

after: duct bringing all the cold air in the case

UPDATE: It got down to 17 degrees.

it looks very ghetto, why not move your case forward, over the holes, and cut a hole in the bottom, all the air will go straight in, so there will be less restriction for the air flow, and will look quite professional

your idea is pretty good but if i would move the case over the airvent the only way into this room would be blocked and everybody had to step over my case...
and the second thing is that i will move to germany on the 6.1.02 and i will be watercooling there, so no need to cut up my case now.
and btw: yes it looks ghetto but if it brings10C cold air in the case, i dont care
