Hi
i decided to rebuild my Supermicro build so i can actually have in the house.
the way forward is silent but also cool
these 2 things do not go hand in hand though :-(
I have 2 main questions
1: CPU cooler vertical or horizontal
2: push in air from the top or suck it out ?
i am going to install fans in the lid to either push in or suck our air or both.
i am thinking about cutting 2 holes center above the CPU coolers and then use a duct to get cool air to the CPU and then have maybe 4-6 fans spred out over the lid to such out the air
i want the air to go from the front via the HDD bays in to the main compartment of the chassis
i will scose off all extra vent holes with tape
i have one fan installed right above the LSI's blowing air in to cool them, or should i suck out and then have a duch under the fan to maximize the flow over the cards?
i have already installed 3X120 fans behind the Backplane but it is not enough
before i did anything to my chassis i had 42 C MAX and now i have 76 after 2 min of idle so i have to do something to cool my CPU's :-(
any thoughts ?
