CoolIT Systems

Holding my hand above the 2 fans, the air feels cold.
Unplugged the 2 fans an have let the freezone cool at it's max I saw that the temps drop. Maybe I do have to turn around the 2 fans and suck the air inside the case, as the FZE fan already pulls out allot of air.
I have my case outside my cupboard right now, but it's in the cupboard normally. It could be that when moving the case there, it would suck warm air inside the case through the rad, cuz some of the hot air coming from the FZE will be stuck inside the cupboard. I do have made a hole at the back where the hot air can escape...

I'll take a closer look at the fan mounting to c what effect they have..

Hi XenoMorpH,

To be honest I do not understand your post fully. However I hope this helps you. Airflow in a chassis should be going from front to back. Fans on the front and side ‘should’ be pulling air into the chassis. Fans on the back and top ‘should’ be pushing air out. Most chassis only require a max of four fans, although I have customers who have seven to eight.
You chassis, or tower, should be in a well ventilated area, or at the very least, have access to flowing air.

I know how airflows should be setup in cases Having 2 12cm fans at the front, 2 at the top and the FZE at the back pulling out the air.

Normal wise I have my case inside a cupboard in my living room. With my case inside.
With normal air cooling I had my 2 fans sucking hot air out (hot air rises) and 1 at the back pulling hot air out straight from the cooler.

Now with the rad at the top, I had it pulling air outside the case, through the rad. dejanh told me that maybe the heat from the FZE heat sink could affect the coolant inside the rad.
So I'll try and c if I can suck air from outside the case through the rad.
But then, when my case is inside my cupboard it could be possible that it would suck some hot air coming from the FZE through the rad, although I did make a hole at the back of my cupboard for the hot air to escape....
Does it make any sense now? LOL

So I''l try things to c what kin of effect it will give

An easy an cheap way to ensure that none of the hot air from the elite gets back into your system would be to use a length of dryer exhast tubing and connect it to both the back of your elite and cupboard.

Should solve any problems with hot air being traped in your cupboard.

Temps dropped another 2-3C with the fans pushing the air through the rad...

Would be a good idea to use such a dryer exhaust tube...

Until you try you will not know
