This guide tells You how to have a cool PC without spending large sums of money on expensive cooling techniques just by using some fans and mechanical tools.It works by providing a proper flow of Air inside the cabinet.
here is the guide:

look the basics are calerly written i mean the whole thing works on one principle suck air from the front and release it from the back vents .. so there should arise no problem in ur case !!!!

its like (air suction)---> [(cabinet) ------{suction fans}--->]--vent-->wall (dispersion after hitting wall)

so there would be no absoulute problem !!! rather if possible just keep 8 inch distance from the cabinet back to the wall !!!

^^dude his PC is placed inside a cave.You can see his workspace in that thread 'post your workspace here' in chitchat section.

@iMav:whats your normal hd temp.?(just curious.my hd is at 31c right now.)

heheh sorry my mistake dear

current temp data of my pc :
ambient system temp 30deg
cpu temp 50deg
cpu fan rpm 3409~3340 rpm
HDD temp : 31deg

it is just a fancy way to say put two 80mm fans in ur cpu?

i mean there was no enlightening info in it.

nice one..
I think digit team also has given one tutorial on cooling pc cabinet.
Has anyone tried this?

Installing a Hard Disk cooler really helps keeping the Hard Disk temp down.

dear friend i suggest you if possible to do this expreiment !

i mean i did this for a tight budget person rather than having a fancy MB with cpu/fabinet fan socket , this method lives on the power from the smps only ! so this method can be used even with older P1-2-3 series mb too !!

and hey it really works and come on where is the fancy way this is raw/crude! i have clearly stated no fancy stuffs here its hard work of mine for past years!

No offence bro:cool:

yes that is there but here in my method u get a ambient cooling not just the HDD only !

well i hate to break it to u man but for a long while now pc power users have been using 80m fans connected to the smps (or the mobo for dynamic rpm control) to create a directional air flow inside the cpu cabinate.(and yes one in the front panel and one in the back.) most boxes have in-build places to mount the fans.

besides the thermometer stuff is redundant as we can get teh temp diff from various motherboard sensors. tho not the specific cabinate wet air temp but what does it matter. what matters is the amt of drop in temp.

i dont mean any disrespect.

dear friend i appriciate what you have said but i beg to differ for following reasons

1> when the air is pulled from the front and pushed out from the back there arises a drop in the over all pull due to the front end grilled or netted constuction of the cabinet

2> in my technique the over angled counter flow technology is used ie the heat emitted from the peripherials is pushed and thrown out from the back of the cabinet. there is no frontal suction fan here as the whole suction part is taken over by the rear fans with high pressure .. it works just like a vaccume cleaner ..if you read closely the manuel i have stated that the peripherals might need a freq 1-3 monthly clean up becasue of the high rate of suction of air and dust if any from the frontal gap

i am happy that you have quries

throw in more i might try to see if i can answer
