Re: Motherboard Temps

so you have the aluminum version with the 10" fan?

My wooden computer has 3 of those 10" fans on the side, they simply do not flow enough air to be efficient. They were designed to be quiet, and haviong them is better than not, but as an intake, i don't think they move enough air (pressure wise) to move the hot air away and move the cool air in. Antec put much more blade pitch in the 'big boy 200' fan that the antec 900 and 1200 come with, and it's quiet too but fewer blades that are bigger and steeper. It actually moves air.
