Two very hot computer components (literally).?
Posted in Desktops on July 22nd, 2008
Ok, so I'm building a new personal, but I'm getting two very hot components; AMD Phenom 9950 Black Edition, and a Sapphire HD 4850. But I'm also getting an NZXT Apollo chassis, which has a fan in the back, a fan on the side window, and an optional fan in the front (and of course I'm putting one in the front), and I'm going to TRY to keep wires out of the way to have good air flow. But really I needed to know if anyone had those two components, and if you could tell me if it makes your personal really hot? And if my computer setting up of the fans and wires would help it any? (I'm going to be putting the fan speed of my graphics card fan to at least 50% to help it out). Thanks so much guys. Also the rest of my specs will be put in the additional details.
Answer:
You should look up some ariflow diagrams for personal. Ones I've seen actually show it slows down airflow to have one in the front and one in the rear both pushing air the same direction. I don't know why this is, I've just seen diagrams that show it produces more airflow to have just the rear fan sucking air out of the case. This way the air is drawn in through the front but not forced. Here are some links to get you started for fan placement.

I couldn't find a diagram that explains what I was trying to say up there, I think it was from the AMD website if you feel like doing the research.
