In my other thread i ask for advise about my first mod(you can see a pic of the case there), but now, after reading some guides, and what you say in threads, im in doubt about the air flow, appart from the mod itself.
Everybody mention big fans, a couple of them, lots of air in and out of the case...
i remembre my old pc, an athlon 1.3, that used to be really hot, i bought a copper heatsink with a huge n VERY noisy fan, and even with that the cpu was arround 40ºC, but now i have a athlon 64, with the stock HS, and my mobo (as usual) has fan controller, so usually its RPM dont go higher than 1200 with the CPU at 30~40ºC n lovely silent; so my question is, appart from the look they give to the mod, are those extra fans really needed?
