What HSF combo to chose for Dvine5?

Post by Schroinx » Sat Feb 18, 2006 3:31 am

My Dvine5 case sucks for the noise it makes. I have replaced all the stock fans with papst fans, so there is not much more do to about the case fans. I am also planning to move the HDs to my server and install a 2,5 HD, in order to remove some of the heat generated inside the case. That should lover the temp in the case, and provide better airflow.

The next step is to replace my 7700cu HFS with one with a horizontal airflow, as I tend to think that having the airflow perpendicular to the mobo, does not improve cooling, compared to having a parallel airflow, directing it at the two 60mm casefans in the back of the case, so getting the heat out instead of recirculating inside the case. Maybe ducting it, is possible.

So my question is what HSF to chose?
