Answer» Quote from: Accessless on JANUARY 25, 2009, 02:42:57 PM I drilled holes in the top of my COMPUTER case so that the power supply could be mounted upside down and suck in cool air from outside the case (rather than hot air from within the case). So now the power supply sucks in cool air and blows hot air into my system, over heating it, instead of sucking in hot air from within the case and overheating itself and everything else... OK I may be missing something here but how can you say your power supply was designed by a retard? The power supply itself is going to generate heat so it just stands to reason that if you flip it over it will blow all of the heat it is generating into the comp instead of pulling that heat out like designed. The only way it will pull cool air into the system is if the outside air is cold enough to completely cool down the power supply so that no heat is coming from it. Using the power supply as a fan to pull cool air into the system is not a choice I would have made. I would have just got a case fan and set it up accordingly.In the original "proper" set up for the PSU, I had a large exhaust fan under the power supply and a smaller intake fan on the side panel to draw in cools air (thus running a steam of cool air past it). That was all very nice and good but I still had to leave the other side panel off too PREVENT the thing from over heating. The new "bodge job" set up has a similar fan configuration so that cool air is drawn though the PSU from outside the case, and hot air produced is sucked out the back and the side (side fan direction altered). So all in all at least this way the case is all together. So for my PSU to function it needs to be Mounted upside down, have a large exhaust fan underneath it and a secondary exhaust fan next to it. And you are asking my why the thing is not retarded why?Oh and my graphics card was bought under the label of a 3800 and is recognised as a 3800 in the devise manager.Quote from: Accessless on January 27, 2009, 03:56:23 AM Oh and my graphics card was bought under the label of a 3800 and is recognised as a 3800 in the devise manager. That doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. did you even think that through? I know that is does not make sense, but that's the only information that I get about the card. In the shop it said 3800, on the box it said 3800 and in the computer it SAYS 3800. No mention of 3850, 3870, or 3870X2. (If you meant the timing of the post its cos I was gonna say earlier but I didn't want to bump the thread for the sake of it) |
