Hello,

I've mounted a hard drive cooler which looks like this

I've directed the flow of air from it to perhaps trying to reach the PCI slots which I have my video and network card there. I've checked my comp temp and with that 'flow' my mobo runs hotter. I don't know about the vid card temp.

So should I stop that 'flow'? If so, then I'll just have to place the HD slave cables to block the air.

But then where does the hot air goes?

I'm confused please help me. TQ

The pic link is dead. If the HD cooler is blowing air on it, not across...it will cool the HD by blowing already hotter air on the HD and the air will flow off to the sides.

Post a pic of the inside of your PC if you can.

Ideal is to have a fan blow air across HD in front, and direct the air towards the top of your case in back.

A useful nugget of info.......almost all heat produced by a HD is on the sides, not the top and bottom. Try to direct your efforts there.
