Bl**dy thermaltake kit
Well if they cant be arsed buy this one instead its probably better anyhow,
i have the actual full unit and its very quiet and lowered my temps. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...ster_fans.html http://www.coolermaster.com.hk/produ...1&product_id=9 Frank "Toby Groves" wrote in message ... Does anyone in this country sell this: http://www.thermaltake.com/products/...ductingMod.htm !?!?!? Can't find any retailer that has it, and Thermaltake refuse to answer my enquiries. Utterly useless state of affairs, do they actually want to sell anything at all? -- Toby |

Ducting air from a fan directly to a heatsink is an improvement, but
hardly anything particularly earth shattering. It will drop the backwash from an impingement cooling solution, but still leaves one WITH an impingement cooling solution re static resistance & noise. For the cost of fan + heatsink + duct (+ duct tape :-) why not choose a blow-thro cooler vs impingement cooler? o Impingement HSF = Air must turn through 90-degrees o Blow-thro HSF = Air simply blows thro the heatsink vanes An example of the latter is the "Flower" cooler & many variants, like the QuietPC folded-fin coolers or Xeon windtunnel coolers. Remember most CPU cooler solutions recirculate hot-air, so it can be beneficial to have a case-fan set to remove this air. This reduces the recirculation (eg, 70% to 30%) so allowing a corresponding reduction in CPU-cooler fan rpm, and so CPU cooler noise. Ducting is best done over passive heatsinks, with air being pulled over them and extracted by a case mounted fan. Such as Dell use on their dual-CPU motherboards - replacing case + CPU + CPU (3) fans with one larger, lower-rpm, quieter fan and a piece of plastic duct. You can create your own duct by using Foamex or foamed PVC, and other thermoplastic sheets which are easily flexed to create a duct. Generally, blow-through coolers tackle the cause of noise in an impingement cooler, better than tacking on a duct to merely increase the distance of a fan from an impingement cooler yet contain airflow. Of course, the latter is selling you 3 parts, versus 2 parts. Aim of IT industry is to never go A-B, but A-B-C-D-E. That's even before one tries to get customer service... -- Dorothy Bradbury http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dorothy...ry/panaflo.htm (Free 1st-Class Shipping) |

I have a sink which is drawing air up through it and out of the top of the fan. I want to use these Thermaltake parts to turn the airflow through 90deg so that it is directed at the case fans at the rear, thus going straight out of the case. -- Toby |
