[QUOTE="miknord, post: 12969"] Goahead: The reason I use a pull solution is because I want the hot air to exit my case as fast as possible. My harddrive was melting in there using the original configuration! (> 50 degrees) I hope you agree that preserving your disks and data is important. In addition, the CPU is not cooled as well as the original configuration, and it's no surprise at all, it is now cooled by 10 degrees hotter air! It's not too varm though, and can easily handle the higher temps. Poussun: I beleive your case temp and HD temp went down (mine did), and that's more important than keeping the CPU temp < 50 degrees. The CPU can handle 60-70 degrees without problems, but your harddrive can't. And PSUs works a lot better having cooler air in the case, meaning it doesn't have to spin up or you can reduce the voltage on that fan too if you wish. /Mikael [/QUOTE]
