Mounting my radiator

Cieprus · 05-28-2002, 07:38 AM

How should I mouny my radiator?

I have 2 120mm 85CFM, Ill be using hte Black Ice Pro.

I want to mount it on the top of the case, but I dont want it to suck hot air from the computer through the rad.

and I dont want to blow the hot rad air into the computer...

What should I do?

Will either of these make a difference at all?

I have a small 80mm in the top, so I want to take it out..But there will be a hole... And holes are bad...

Maybe I can use some lexan!!!

Sounds like you'll need to be doing some ducting my man.

I've got one word for you: ducting. You can use that lexan too!

You'll want to suck air from either the back (involves a little cutting) or the front (top 5 1/4 bay).

Either way, try to keep in mind that a filter is good, because when dust accumulates in the rad, the efficiency drops.

look at what joe did in pro/mini, with the ducting on the rad at the front. You could also do something like that at the back of the case

Thanks Cyco...

I think Im going to build something out of lexan, a container for it maybe, then bolt it to the side of my case. We'll see...

OMG!!! CYCO-DUDE!!! THANK YOU!!

That's my EXACT case, and planned setup!!!!!! I've been trying to figure out how to get all of that (heatercore, bleed & fill, airtrap, etc into the case.. well.. actually, there is one or two differences, but that does help me a lot.. That's pretty much what I was planning, but the links to those pics does help a lot!

Heh.. I love reading translated sites... "food 340 Watt and door"
