Well i use Thermal take nic f4 on my p4 http://valid.x86.fr/di80u6 and the tempratures under load (P95 for 4 hours) are about 65C i know for the clocks on that cpu it is real good but i want to give it some extra air.
The plan is
2.PNG

screws will be 50mm long with slightly bigger diameter than normal for making the threads and fit tight (might use cable ties)
Might crossfire more fans later but what are your ideas on that "thing"
*Btw the "cad" program i used is the mspaint, i think its obvious*

Is this for the pc in your specs ? The one you call "the noisy runner" ?

You might have to rename it " cool runnings"
thats a lot of fannage Dude.

How about this:


In all honesty, stacking fans one on top of the other is counterproductive. The two stacked fans disrupt the airflow of each other and cause the same or less airflow compared to a single fan. If you want any net gain in cooling performance, you would need to have a large separation between the fans so they do not disrupt each other's airflow.

The easier solution if you want more airflow is to just use faster single fans on each side of the heatsink.

it's not possible to remove the "noisy" from the name

maybe easy to remove noisy from the name, but that is already very loud.

Any fan chucking air in there would be an improvement.

450 watt...............you cant plug this mo'fo into your mobo though.


Surely you can identify where or which fan its coming from ?

@Von matices. Well i will try and bench the temps.
@capslock. This seems a good fan to add to the config.
