The result of running an Sk6 with the fan sucking air from the HS!

[geek167]

Here.. Need I say more?


Yes, that is dust.

looks like you dont use any filters......(you should also clean a little more often )

i clean mine (sk-6/case) weekly....takes less then 5 min with a can of air and the vac

 

[HappyPuppy]

You can suck the dirt in or you can blow the dirt in. Your choice. Use filters or clean more often. Or both.

 

[geek167]

I reversed the fan, clean the dust off added some thermal grease. And now it is running at 34C Idle and 43C under a full load as opposed to 49/51C. Not bad....

Suprised it wasnt hotter then that with all that dust. Geez.

I have a PC-65 and I hardly ever clean it. You guys may have made me change my mind about cleaning. That SK6 is repulsive.

 

[geek167]

I think this solves our debate about which way was better for the Sk6.

I wonder if i turn my 92mm Panaflo upsidedown (on my WBK-38) if that will do anything for me...

 

[WA261]

why, because you have no filters in your case and dont clean your sink?

mine is sucking and looks nothing like that.....i think this just solves the debate for you

 

[aphex]

Mine is runnin 61C idle right now.. uh oh

 

[MiklosMillora]

Can anyone say dust bunnies.

 

[CStroman]

It's been awhile since I've cleaned mine.

Mine is sucking air from the HS/F and is running at ~ 41-43 degrees under full load.

You could be blowing cold air onto the temp. sensor, which of course would throw the temp. down a little cooler than it actually is.

geek167, what layout are your fans in? What's the total incoming air vs. exhausted air?

 

[geek167]

Case fans aren't something I have.

I have one sucking air in on the front. Then of course the power supply fan.

 

[cavemanmoron]

i am running a 120mm fan intake lower front,a HDD cooler with 2 little?40?mm fans intake on front middle of the case,a 120 mm exhaust top rear an 80 exhaust middle rear,and the p/s enermax exhaust fan rear..using a Full tower modded only for the fans
i will look more closely to the temps from now on,Glad i had the Epox temp alarm on!!
oh i was Blowing air on to mine and it still plugged up over 60%!!
