Default Re: Cooling what to use

Since the case, or power supply, fan is already blowing outward you want the air to continue to exit the rear of the pc.  The best scenario would be to add a fan in the back blowing in, and other fan in the back blowing outward.  This would make continuous air flow over all of the hardware.  This is what I do on all of my pcs and the case stays nice and cool.

Admin...I have never heard of this before.  I have an 80mm fan in the front of my Enlight 7237 case sucking air in and an 80mm fan (higher cfm) in the back under the power supply blowing out.  I have an Abit KT7A-Raid mobo and the thermister rarely reads above the mid 80s F for my 1GHz AMD T'bird.  Tell me more about your fan scheme.  Also, any suggestions on fan adapters or mounting an 80mm fan on my Vantec heatsink?  The Delta Black Label is driving me crazy, but I don't want to give up the excellent cooling I am presently enjoying either.  What do you think?
