Well ive a 9800se which obviously has a fan for cooling, now my question is does the fan suck cool air onto the card or blow hot air away?
i ask this as ive fitted a pci exhaust blower directly beneath the card this only gives a 2-4mm gap between the graphics card and the blower body.
so if the fan on the card is blowing out, the hot air will be sucked out straight away by the blower thus keeping it cool.
but if the fan is sucking cool air onto the card then im probably doing more harm than good as it will be taking any cool air and blowing it out leaving the card to get hot.
make sense?
any ideas appreciated
