Best place for cooling info for dummy's?

[maddnotez]

Was looking to see if anyone knew of a place or specific thread that can teach a Noob how to set up fans and explain cooling in detail?

Kind of like a PC cooling for dummy's type of thing to learn the basics and everything Id need to know.

Well... You can take a look at wikipedia's page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling

Effective Air Cooling Guide (Part I) - Cleanliness Is Next To Coolness

Effective Air Cooling Guide (Part II) - Myths, Old Rituals, and Analysis

Haven't read it though, but it could be helpful

well its very difficult to get a guide out as there is no one solution fix to everything.

Its best to try different configs and see the results yourself.

Also its best to ask for advice and try them out and produce results.

Personally, I learned more about cooling from the Overclock.net 'Cooling' section than anywhere else. Crazy stuff indeed. Everything from basics of Air Cooling to people's crazy experiments using Geothermal watercooling to insane Peltier experiments. Good people there too. Usually.

If you are looking for specific help, put a title like "Cooling a 3570k in an Antec P182 case" so folks with experience can give you a fan recommendations etc.
