Super Air Cooling

[Dax8825]

Heres an idea i had this morning, i've not seen it mentioned anywhere before

For a highly overclocked system

Get an RVK fan and some air ducting
They come in different sizes so one of the smaller ones would probly be best
Cut out the fan grill at the rear of pc case
Feed in some of the ducting and attach it to a tower cooler
Connect the fan then some more ducting to channel the air out of the house through an air brick or window

i dont have any need to overclock atm so i wont be doing this but it would certainly keep those temps down

I assume this is simply to increase air flow?

Yeh its kinda like a turbocharger

I dont know about the metal ones from different companies but i have a 4 inch rhino with 2 speeds
160m3 per hour/ 280m3 per hour

you may want to double check the noise it makes when running as they can get quite loud.

 

[Dax8825]

yeh its gonna be louder than case fans
the rhino is fairly quiet though

its certainly not for everybody but for the extremists its probly worth a try

it would increase airflow, and if you have an interwall dispersal (AC hole in the wall) with a filter it could work, but I wonder as to the price of the setup, and as to whether it's better used on a higher end unit. The 2 issues I wonder about are: dust and humidity. The filters will need to be cleaned more frequently, and dust will build up faster, and I wonder if water will condense.

I think there would be too much airflow to allow dust and moisture buildup
as for cost about £50 for the fan and probly £10 for the ducting
then maybe some makeshift bracket for connectong the venting to the cpu tower
