Fans in Pro 6
I bought a pimped-up Pro 6, and the fans are running in reverse: the side air is pushing hot air out of the CPU, and the rear fan is sucking cold air instead of extracting the hot air. I'm not sur...
- New episodes... I think the guy that installed all these after market components reversed the big fan in the rear. I couldnt touch the other ones, so I just reversed that one. The CPU (indeed, the kozuti) and the other small fan in the back arent possible to dismantle without taking everything apart.
When I put it back together, I got a normal airflow, and -15 C on the CPU:
- now the air comes in from the side and the front, and gets through the back
- the cpu is at 45 c in normal usage
- the system temp is at 60 C in normal usage
- fan RPMs rarely exceed 960RPM
I believe this is much more inline with a normal behavior than before. :-)
Thanks for the tips, itsjasper!
I got my Pro 6 open.... and got this stuff inside:
Has anyone seen these fans before? Is there any reason for the airflow to be reversed on this thing?
