I can do that with my Zalmann cnps 9500Led^^

can't do that
the fan controller is powered by molex and then outputs to 3 connectors

Did you take a look at this already? I think if you are going to add new fans that you add one blowing air out at the top rear and blowing air in from the side (over the CPU) with an Antec Big Boy.

Just take a look at that link and weigh the pros and cons coupled with this new link I found. If for some reason you are getting cold feet, a new heat sink might end up a better way to go. Not as fun as modding but it will get the job done.

i saw that picture but thats basicly what i have now. i just want a balanced airflow. not a negative one or a positive one. balanced

but since i need to get more cool air to the cpu im not sure if i can just add a fan blowing on Cpu or if i have to add one on the bottom >_<


thats my problem now

also, adding fans or not. my modding plan WILL get done. all i need now is some1 with a dremel and i need to buy some plexiglass

I got a very bad feeling about this

DOLPHIN FORUM USERS: Which do you think will happen with Daco's project? Text your answer to 3226-8226 (DACO-TACO).

1. He will cut his finger(s) off
2. His PC will blow up
3. He will hack away so much of his case, he will have nothing left by the time he is done
4. It will end up looking like something straight out of a Michael Bay film
5. It will end up being a work of art that will cool his PC to below ambient temperatures - on air

also, i cleaned out my case (and fans!) last month, i doubt its dust

Cleaning is ain't enough, cpu coolers are really short living and micro-dust after few years of work is everywhere in it, there is no good way to clean it - specially from box(stock) coolers.
I think U need one of theese:

forgot to say i also oiled it with special oil last week
i know i need a new fan but the problem is getting a good one that will fit my case as its

42cm long,46cm high and 18cm wide.
that and my cables are a bitch (which in the end ill mod the case so i can hide them behind the mobo

and all the recent cpu fans work for newer cases (which suck air from under neeth the DVD drives) which is therefor a bit pointless for my case as i can't place fans under my dvd drives. that or they are to big
the only fans i can place are in the attached picture

From Ur first post is clear that all U really need is good cpu cooler, not balanced airflow or anything like that cause this will not change much. Almost every not stock cooler will be better as long as its ASUS, Zalman, Spire, Corsair, Cooler Master or any other good made. Good cpu cooler may even make possible to overclock unit a lot. And 46x42x18cm means that U got standard ATX box, U can place there every fan made for socket lga775 and some made for other sockets (not only Intel). More useless fans U got, more power it needs and works louder, so too much funs may need change of psu also.

standard? unless there is such a thing as baby im not seing my case as standerd

anyway, thing is tho (and ive said it before) all lga775 cpu fans these days aren't made for air flow like mine >_>
they would do the job but not as good as it should

maybe i should get a new cpu fan but thats going to cost me alot to have a decent one that does at least an as good cooling as my intel stock fan

cheapest i can get , that is usable in my case , is this

http://forcom.be/?product=300899

but its high as fuck
and then there is this

http://forcom.be/?product=303670
it looks better but its even higher >_> (and doesn't fit in case)

EDIT: OR
this
http://alternate.be/html/product/details.html?articleId=74542&showTechData=true#tecData

reviews are good too

[boogerlad]

guys, zalman is fail. http://alternate.be/html/product/details.html?articleId=74542&showTechData=true#tecData that will net you even worse temps. I'd just reccomend a xigamatec s1283, or a True.

U got some pipes for air flow, or something like that, in this stange box of Urs? I'm trying to imagine this hmmm.... wonder.
Also 50-65 degrees without huge overclocking is crazy and hard to imagine. I have never used any stock coolers in my pcs so I thought that 40 degrees is a border that should never be crossed by cpu.
